Jessica, Luke, Danny, and Matt run from the Midland Building and take refuge in Royal Dragon, a Chinese restaurant on W. 47th Street. The owner doesn't want them there but Danny spends enough money to buy his cooperation. Matt is still wearing Jessica's scarf across the upper portion of his face. He and Danny share with the other two what they know about the Hand. Jessica knows who Matt is but the other two do not. He is very reluctant to remove the scarf but eventually he does.
Elektra still doesn't remember her past life. Alexandra reminds Elektra of what she is now, the Black Sky. Is that enough for Elektra? I don't know. She doesn't seem to be satisfied but she also isn't rebelling against what she has become.
Stick shows up at the Royal Dragon. He explains that he is all that is left of the Chaste, an army that was formed to serve the Immortal Iron Fist. He doesn't know why Danny was never told about their existence. Stick also explains that the hand are there to take over the city and that the four of them are all that stand in the Hand's way.
Jessica has heard enough. It is all a little too much for her to believe so she leaves. Matt isn't happy to see Stick but he stays put. Jessica spends some time looking at images of documents she acquired a couple episodes back. She notices a pattern in the documents which originated from periods over a great span of time. They all seem to have been signed by the same person. She then finds out that someone has been keeping tabs on Michelle Raymond.
Matt, Danny, Luke, and Stick stay at the Royal Dragon for the rest of the night. Stick tells the other three about the Hand. He shares a private moment with Matt and explains to him that what looks like Elektra isn't Elektra. She has no heart beat. It isn't the woman he once knew.
As day breaks the four men notice that they have company. Someone in a van with weapons is nearby. Could this be the Punisher? I'm not sure. Alexandra shows up and tries talking Danny into coming with her. She tries telling him that he can save lives by coming with her but Luke and Stick push back and prevent Iron Fist from doing something stupid. Alexandra gets tired of chatting and calls in her ace in the hole, the Black Sky. Before she can do anything, an SUV comes crashing through the front of the restaurant and blindsides the Black Sky. Jessica walks into what's left of the the Royal Dragon and joins the others.
This was my favorite episode so far. Not perfect but I am enjoying it more than I was a couple episodes back. I like the banter. It wasn't too humorous but there were some humorous moments. I hope that at least the beginning of the next episode lives up to the promise that end of this one makes.
