As it turns out, Hell's Kitchen is infested by hidden Yakuzas and ninjas. The new threat, though might not be urgent, forces Murdock to cooperate with the volatile Elektra. This takes up his time and veers him away from the taxing case of appealing for Frank Castle. However, he also seems more natural around her, in a glamorous Mission Impossible setting no less.

Out of allies and options, Frank Castle is looking at a grim future, mostly concerning his demise. After a meeting with unqualified defense attorney, Nelson and Murdock decide to help Castle get a more lenient plea. It helps him get a fighting chance on a legal matter but also puts Murdock on a wobbly footing as his night time activity calls in for an assignment.

The two head for Yakuza party to secure a ledger, which looks more enjoyable to Murdock than he might expect. It's not often he spends some time without having to hide his secrets, being judged or just simply having someone on his side. This is a partially playful interaction as well as an infiltration mission, and the life style can be dangerously compelling to Murdock.

Karen always has an admiration to the Punisher, perhaps because she knows what it feels to be both in dark and light. She put in the effort to investigate and Frank responds kindly to this, in his own rugged way. Karen helps him keeping the memory of his family as fond times, not just anguish for vengeance. Account of the tragedy is still delivered by Frank, which is a much more effectively mysterious way instead of actual flashback sequences.

There is new bond forged and old one reconnected, the polar opposites do attract, even if the bonds may just be momentarily.

Live Reaction / Review for Daredevil Season 2 Episode 6: Episode 5 was good, but i hope this one is better (it isn't). The episode starts with a cool fight scene. I hope this episode wont focus on Elektra (it did), her character is nice but not as interesting as Fisk or the Punisher. Why do they care so much to defend Frank? I mean he is a murderer after all and he has killed so many people so why Team Daredevil cares so much if he gets the death penalty? Makes no sense. After seeing a few episodes im now sure that Matt and Karen have no chemistry. At least we get to see Frank in this episode which is good. This episode feels flat, nothing really exciting happens. My rating is 7.0/10.

Things turn around for the better with this episode. The Punisher returns and inevitably bags all the best scenes. Karen actually gets proper material to work with, and even the Elektra scenes - a heist of sorts - are quite a lot of fun. Let's hope the improvement continues...
