* At first, the Meachums appear to be a case of PlayingGertrude, since there's only a 17 year age gap between Creator/DavidWenham (Harold) and Creator/TomPelphrey (Ward). But Harold hasn't aged a day in thirteen years since the Hand resurrected him. Meaning the trope is actually getting averted.

** One of the most common gateways to opioid addiction is perscribed pain medication following an injury. Harold not only watched Ward develop his addiction, but is likely its original cause. According to Ward, Harold used him as a physical punching bag, causing consistent and serious injuries over the 13 years he spent in hiding, ranging from severe bruising to broken bones. Any one of those injuries could have seen Ward going to the hospital for treatment, leaving with a bottle of pills, and ending up developing an addiction to pain killers, which would only exacerbated as Ward started self-medicating to manage the pain of the regular injuries his father caused.

* Up to Danny taking Radovan to Colleen and Claire, he hasn't mentioned he is the Iron Fist nor elaborated on it. When he finally mentions The Hand, Claire freaks out and Colleen says "What?!". Colleen can be seen in the background holding hear head in disbelief and just seems rather upset and shaken through the next scenes. Upon first viewing you just think she's reacting. Watch the series again after finishing the season and you'll realize she's freaking out at the fact she had no idea that: 1.- The Hand were running a drug smuggling operation in the docks, 2.- The Hand kidnaps people and their children to force them into working for them and 3.- The sweet guy she has been hanging out with is THE Iron Fist, which to her is like meeting the Boogeyman since as a member of the Hand she knows his entire mission in life is to destroy them.

* Knowing that Harold spies on Ward through cameras in his office ceiling, you realize...Harold watched his son become a drug addict and did nothing about it, and probably enjoyed it because the weaker Ward was, the easier it would be for Harold to manipulate him.

* Danny's decision to sell that life-saving medicine at-cost wasn't as StupidGood as the board members framed it. RealLife drug companies excuse charging exorbitant prices for their drugs to finance R&D on newer drugs, as the board members claim, but this is nearly always a lie, as the profits are instead used to buy back stocks to make them richer. If Danny had swallowed their lies, they'd have screwed over other people who needed medicine like that in the future.
