Dissension in the ranks strike both the heroes and the villains. Danny doesn't like Stick's theory that the Iron Fist is the key to opening something, even though the other three seem ready to accept it. He fights with Daredevil and gets knocked out by Jessica. They are afraid he will get himself caught if tries to go it alone.
Alexandra is experiencing something similar as her compatriots beign to turn on her. They question her choice to bring the Black Sky into the picture. They see the Black Sky as volatile and unreliable. Alexandra does her best to assure them that is not the case and that she has her under control.
Elektra leaves Matt's apartment before he gets back. She finds a prayer card from the service for her funeral and takes it. Matt notices that it is gone but doesn't tell Jessica who is with him when he finds out. He is already in deep water with the others for (a) not telling them about his past with Elektra sooner, and (b) not telling them about the pit beneath Midland HQ. This probably won't help to bring the goup closer together even if they don't find out about it.
Matt and Jessica got to visit Michelle Raymond but end up taking to Chloe, her daughter. While they are there they find John Raymond's plans for Midlands HQ hidden in the piano. There is more to the plans than just the building, there are also maps of catacombs beneath the building.
Iron Fist tries talking Luke and Stick into untieing him but they won't. Stick pulls a fast one and knocks Luke out with some incense. Stick is ready to kill Iron Fist to prevent the Hand from getting their -- uh -- hands on him. Before he can do it Elektra shows up. She gets the upper -- uh -- hand and kills Stick just after Matt and Jessica return. Luke wakes up. All three heroes try to take Elektra down but she takes them down fairly easily.
Elektra returns to Alexandra with Iron Fist. Everything looks like it is going Alexandra's way until Elektra turns on her and kills her with a Sai. Elektra then tells the three remaining leaders that they work for her now.
There's lots to like here. I loved the fight between Daredevil and Iron Fist. Maybe not the best fight ever but it worked for me. I still don't get Iron Fist. He is such a contradiction. He constantly talks about balance and control but he seems to lose his cool fairly easily. It is hard for me to believe that someone as hot headed as he is was ever able to master the Iron Fist.
On the whole a very enjoyable episode. Better than the last one and on a par with the one before that.
