<\/a><\/p>\nFlashing back to Matt\u2019s childhood, he\u2019s suffering from major oversensory issues. Matt is living in a Catholic orphanage. The same old man from the intro comes to visit him. He acts like a mentor to the young Matt, telling him that he was born blind. Matt talks about how he started developing his supersenses. The man, who is called Stick, mentors Matt in developing\u00a0his supersensory powers. 20 years later, Stick tells the grownup Daredevil to get up, telling him that he\u2019s back in town to help.<\/p>\n
Karen and Urich meet up and compare notes on what they have on their investigation. Urich has a lead on Japanese and Russians that might be connected to Union Allied and tells her stay away from the man in the mask. Karen can\u2019t shake the fact that he saved her life. Urich tells her that there are no heroes or villains, just people with differing agendas and that he doesn\u2019t want to be responsible if anything happens to her. Karen feels she can hold her own.<\/p>\n
Stick and Matt meet at Matt\u2019s apartment. Matt isn\u2019t on good terms with his old mentor. Stick sees Matt as too attached to his things and to his friends. It\u2019s clear from their interaction that Stick was not your typical mentor. Flashing back to his childhood, Stick trains Matt how to fight. Little Mattie blames himself for his father\u2019s death. Stick tells him to stop blaming himself. Flashing forward to the present, Stick tells Matt about Black Sky, some kind of weapon that Nobu is bringing in, and recruits Matt to assist him on the mission, since Nobu is connected to Fisk. Matt accepts on the condition that Stick won\u2019t kill anybody. Stick makes a half-hearted promise.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Karen helps Mrs. Cardenas with her groceries in exchange for information linking Union Allies with Mr. Tully\u2019s \u201crepairmen.\u201d Mrs. Cardenas describes them to Karen, pointing out that one of them has a tattoo. A man follows Karen as soon as she leaves the apartment complex. He and his friend attack Karen in an alley, but thankfully Foggy comes in, armed with a bat. Karen gives one of her attackers a face full of mace and Foggy bats the other guy down for good measure.<\/p>\n
Down at the docks, Daredevil and Stick get a layout of who\u2019s there: Nobu with a dozen henchmen, armed to the teeth. Stick tells Daredevil to take out the henchmen while he takes care of Black Sky. Daredevil chooses to go with the \u201csneak and smother\u201d procedure. In the midst of the sneak attack, we find out that Black Sky isn\u2019t a weapon\u2026but a child. Daredevil acts quick and kicks away the arrow meant for the child and fights off the mooks. Unfortunately, Nobu and Stick are both gone.<\/p>\n
Flashing back to a training sequence between Mattie and Stick. Mattie gives Stick a bracelet. Stick crushes it in his hands and says \u201cI can\u2019t help you anymore.\u201d Matt\u00a0returns to his apartment, where Stick is already waiting for him. Stick justifies his attempted murder of a child and his abandoning Matt because he wanted a soldier. He tells Matt that he already killed the kid while Matt was fighting Nobu\u2019s men and a fight breaks out between the two of them. I seriously wish that the lighting was better in this scene, but hey, blind man\u2019s apartment. I can at least tell what\u2019s going on from the silhouettes. Stick, being older, quickly knocks Matt down, but Matt gets a second wind and fights back. After one last attempt from Stick to smother Matt, Matt knocks Stick to the ground and tells him to get out of the city.<\/p>\n
At the New York Bulletin offices, Karen brings Foggy in on the investigation. They look at Urich\u2019s board and comment on who the King of Diamonds is. (We know it\u2019s Fisk.) Daredevil is represented by the Jack of Hearts with a mask over one of the faces and the name \u201cBlack Mask\u201d written on it.<\/p>\n
Matt cleans up the wreckage and finds the bracelet that he gave to Stick all those years ago. Stick reports to his superior and says that he took care of Black Sky. The camera reveals a shirtless muscled man who knows of Murdock.<\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019m noticing about Netflix series is that there aren\u2019t any filler episodes. All the plots and subplots flow together a lot easier, but at the same time, it would be nice to have a breather.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
