This episode confirms for me that the writers know exactly what they are doing this season. A turning point, which even though most fans and myself saw coming from episode 1, that was executed so well from the start it makes the payoff in the final 15 minutes all the more satisfying. What also stood out this episode was the well written characters especially Foggy and Karen as the writers have toned down the whole 'concerned and judgemental friend' side of them which can become a bit repetitive. Excellent episode from start to finish
