Seven Minutes in Heaven
- lots of Punisher and Kingpin in prison in this one, not much Elektra
- a bit slow and plodding with some moments of action
- in prison, Kingpin's early days are shown, how he tries to lay low at first but then hooks up with some black cons, for protection, but then starts to make moves
- when Punisher arrives Kingpin talks him into going after the guy (the convict) who runs most of the gang activity
- Dutton (played brilliantly by William Forsythe) is the man who runs things; Kingpin convinces Punisher that Dutton was behind the murder of his family
- Punisher goes after Dutton, with some help getting access from Kingpin; he wrecks havoc in Dutton's cell block; it looks like he fatally stabs Dutton but he shows up later on in the prison ICU
- Kingpin turns on Punisher and leaves him locked in Dutton's cell block facing brutal odds against survival but he makes it out alive
- Kingpin then uses his influence to get Punisher out of prison because he sees Castle as more valuable to him on the outside wrecking havoc than in prison doing the same
- Daredevil is on his own for most of the episode and only has two interactions with regular members of the cast: (1) he argues with Elektra (after she heals him) about her hitting the young ninja in Episode 8; she tries to explain to him that they are at war with the Hand but he thinks that they can take it to the police; (2) Foggy comes by after Elektra leaves Matt's apartment; Foggy wants to put their professional an personal relationships on hold
- Karen does some more sleuthing and works with the newspaper editor some more; together they visit the medical examiner
- Daredevil tracks down the Hand's accountant, tries to help him get his son back, faces off against Nobu who was thought to be dead (last season) but Nobu escapes with a large sarcophagus that was being fed by the blood of living people including the accountant's son
- not a great episode but it had it's moments; lots of setup without much payoff
- Frank got out of prison much faster than I thought he would
- Prediction: no more Frank this season; mostly ninjas and Elektra and Stick; Kingpin? naaah...
