Matt Murdock is working solo now. He and Foggy parted ways in season 2 of Daredevil. Matt is doing pro bono work now. It makes him feel good. He has lunch with Karen. She is still working for the Bulletin. Officially she is there to interview him. She knows that he is Daredevil. They chat at a diner over lunch.
Luke Cage gets out of Seagate Prison. It is unclear how long he was there or why he was released. He meets briefly with Foggy Nelson before he is released. He goes back to New York City and sees Claire. They finally get to have that cup of coffee. Misty stops by and tells Luke about death of Candace' brother. Misty suspects it was murder. She encourages Luke to go see Candace' remaining brother. Luke visits with him but he doesn't want to talk to Luke and pushes him away. Clearly he has something to hide.
Jessica gets a visit from a woman who is looking for her husband, John Raymond. He's missing. Jessica shoos Mrs. Raymond away but then gets a call from someone telling her not to take the case. Now she is interested and starts to investigate. She begins by tracing the call.
Danny Rand and Colleen Wing return to New York City after getting into a fight somewhere else, presumably Asia. I would probably have a better idea of where it was if I had watched more than just the first 5 episodes of season 1 of Iron Fist. The person Danny fought was a woman but her identity wasn't clear. I'm pretty sure it must have been Elektra.
Alexandra Reid (Sigourney Weaver) finds out that she doesn't have long to live. She has more tests done but her options are limited. She meets with Madame Gao in Central Park and orders her to move up the time table. It isn't clear at first what she is talking about but towards the end of the episode an earthquake or earthquake-like event hits New York City. From the way it is depicted it seems pretty clear that this must be the event that Ms. Reid had moved up. All the heroes are shown reacting to the earthquake.
So far the show is just okay. It feels a bit rushed. It also feels overcrowded compared to the other Marvel Netflix series. So far none of the heroes have crossed paths with one another. The Iron Fist parts, especially the fight that opens the episode. failed to impress or please me. It was too dark and muddled to tell exactly what was doing on. The parts that didn't involve Iron Fist were good but certainly not flawless. I'm going to continue watching but I'm not expecting greatness after this opening.
