Short summary

Karen continues to counsel Frank, in jail this time. The firm's plan is to go with PTSD. Matt and Elektra decode the last page of the book. Busy with Elektra, Matt misses court, leaving it all on Foggy. Matt and Karen have their first argument. The firm lose a witness because of Elektra.

When Matt/Daredevil & Elektra are at the train yard the Empire State Building is lit blue and orange. This is a sign that the NY Mets had recently won a series versus the Yankees.

"Semper Fidelis" a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal". In the United States it is best known as the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Elsewhere, it is a common motto for towns, families, schools, and military units.

Twenty seconds pass between the moment when Matt tosses Elektra's flashlight into the pit and the blackout of end credits. Using a simple method to calculate its falling distance, the flashilight would have dropped more than a mile.

    Going into this season I had plenty of questions as to the structure it was going to go by. The choice to not have a true big bad (at least as of now) was a risky but interesting move, and it's paid off so far. I'm just as invested in the trial of Frank Castle as I am anything Daredevil is doing on the streets at night. That's a tribute to the incredible writing of the show.

    Unfortunately for Matt, his job at night and day came in direct conflict with each other as he struggled to balance the two (much like most superheroes). Matt showed up late for the opening statement of the trial, forcing Foggy to step up for the team. He recuperated well after a rough start, but this put another cog in the relationship between Murdock and Nelson. Neither are wrong in this situation and I almost have to side with Foggy. I don't see why Matt couldn't have at least given Foggy a heads up about Elektra. Again, Matt's not wrong either, but you would think he would learn to keep the lying to a minimum.

    Really it all comes down to Elektra messing things up for Matt. I don't expect Karen and Matt to break up, but they can't go down this path of lying and avoiding the truth with each other. It never works. On the other hand, I love seeing Elektra and Daredevil out in the field together. The hand to hand combat is consistently immersive and I'm becoming increasingly interested in the mafia that they are after. I'm completely on board with where this is heading.

    As the case against Frank Castle goes in full motion Nelson and Murdock, Nelson particularly, has been going through tough times. The evidence, as well as body count, is mounted against their client and they are scraping any defense for any reduce in sentence. Meanwhile, Murdock goes for another side quest with his side companion.

    In a mutually affecting relationship, Daredevil and Elektra are gradually changing. Daredevil is showing more violence, though still also some restraint. Elektra herself heeds her ally's advice not to kill, not out of sympathy or mild conscience but for keeping their alliance intact. Oddly enough this partnership seems to be working as they find camaraderie in each other.

    Unfortunately, this has negative impact on his day time work. Murdock pushes away Karen and Foggy who are struggling to maintain a proper defense. The court scenes are pretty well done, they are not only needed to push the plot, but also to develop the characters involved. From the looks of things, it won't be in distant future that Murdock has to make a choice or simply come clean as the lies are getting harder to maintain.

    The latter parts show a more action-oriented pace, and also a good return of the mystical and mysterious flavor the first season had.
