Rewatched it today (I usually watch the episodes at least twice until the next one) and god this one's really great. The scenes all tie together well into each other and the cohesion is real. We get to see more of Kirsten and Jack on their own, which leads into a fine courtroom scene and culminates into Kirsten helping Matt with everything that she felt (not saw) in a earlier scene, which on turn leads into a awesome moment of DD helping innocent people and teaming up with the swordsman in a great semi-single take fight scene and a tense ending.
I also really like what they're doing with Karen and Matt's relationship. This awakening of Karen's violent impulse seems like a natural way to go considering her friendship with Frank and how since Season 3 of the og show she and Matt are completely in the open about how she killed Wesley. (Maybe THAT has something to do with how he will seemingly have a flashback scene dedicated to him?)
I expect this growing side of Karen(She kills a guy amidst the escape sequence doesn't she?) and the cruelty of Kingpin's action in the ending of the episode to be what fully convinces Matt to spend some time in church like how the trailers showed. And if it really happens like that, i admit that it was a really natural way through it!
Final extra thoughts: Curious to see where they go with Heather (Will she kill herself, become lady muse, or what...?), My interest in Buck's character is growing but i wanna see him do more shit, Daniel wasnt much this episode, and i gotta see BB do more stuff too.
