Daredevil 2.10

The Man in the Box

- things get considerably more interesting
- someone guns down Reyes (DA) and the ME in separate incidents; at first in looks like the Punisher is to blame but by the end of the episode it is clear that he is not, that he being framed
- Matt goes to the prison to interview Fisk; it doesn't go well; he angers Fisk by bringing up Vanessa and threatening to ensure that she won't be allowed to step foot in the US again; Fisk manhandles Matt and promises he will get revenge on Matt and Foggy
- by far, the confrontation in the prison was my favorite of this episode but by no means was it the only one I liked
- the hit man tries to take down Karen but she is saved by Frank, in her apartment, her police escort is gone, vanished, how or why is unclear
- Elektra fights a would be assassin at the airport, an airport, in a hangar; for a brief moment I wondered if the would be assassin was Bullseye but she killed him; before he died he told her that Stick had sent him
- the episode opened with the rescue of the 5 people who were in cages at the end of episode 9; they are taken to Metro General Hospital after DD has a chat with Detective Mahoney
- the 5 are looked after by Claire Temple; Matt comes to visit and they have a couple chats; the 5 don't seem normal even after they wake up; they are missing their fingernails; towards the end of the episode they awaken and kill the accountant as the Hand (?) returns for them
- Foggy also spends some time in MGH after he gets shot in the arm during the incident when Reyes was killed; he is still in the hospital when the Hand returns
- lots of setup; definite inbetweener but beautifully done in ways that made it feel important and more than just a bridge to the next big event; Matt and Fisk was definitely an important moment in both their lives
