Daredevil 2.07

Semper Fidelis

- a bit of misdirection with the title, although Frank (the former Marine) Castle is in it the title seems to be a reference to Matt's relationships with Foggy and Karen from whom he has been concealing Elektra and his activities with her
- Foggy, Matt, and Karen prepare for Frank's defense; Matt is supposed to handle the opening statement for the defense but shows up late because he was up late the night before with Elektra fighting Yakuza
- Foggy stumbles at first but finds his way and does a great job with the opening argument for the defense; Matt shows up halfway through it but Foggy keeps going
- Foggy confronts Matt afterwards in the men's room which is when - no wait - Foggy does confront Matt afterwards and Matt just pledges to do better
- That night Elektra spies on Matt and Karen at his apartment as they prepare for questioning the medical examiner in court the next day; they suspect he also wrote the report on Frank's family and changed the facts; they are hoping he will - or they will - be able to get him to reveal his crime in court but then they get into an argument about vigilantes; Karen seems to be in favor of them and Matt against
- the next day in court the medical examiner reveals that he was threatened by a woman (who Matt knows, who must be Elektra) and his testimony is thrown out which is damning to the defense's case
- Foggy and Matt have it out in the men's room which is when Matt finally tells him that Elektra is back and about what he has been working on with her, and that she is the rich client; Foggy flips out and questions Matt's loyalty to himself and Karen and his dedication to the case
- After the blow up in the courthouse Matt goes out with Elektra to investigate one of the sites in the ledger they stole in episode 6; after fighting some Yakuza they find a seemingly bottomless pit; and that's where it ends
- overall very excited by this episode
- Foggy had another great scene where he rises to the occasion; for the most part I'm not crazy about him but I love him in this kind of scene
- I'm convinced that they are going to lose this case, Frank will go to prison, Frank will break out of prison
- curious about the train full dirt; I think that will reappear; not sure what the deal was
- where is Stick? So wanting him and his boys to appear; where's the Kingpin? He's been mentioned but that's the extent of it
