* HopeSpot: Danny finally gets his psychiatrist to believe that he truly is Danny Rand, and it looks like he's about to be released!

Best exemplified by the doctor himself, who goes from excited upon realizing the truth to slowly putting his notes away and going into psychiatrist-mode as Danny continues to talk.
