Every combination of the cage requires 2, and all its homes share one unit. Erase it from the unit outside the cage: R8C7, R9C7, R9C8, R9C9.

When every valid combination of a cage contains a digit, and all of that digit's possible positions in the cage share a row, column, or box, the digit is claimed. Erase it from the rest of that unit.
