* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jeri works hard to maintain the façade of the heartless shark that we saw in ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', and there's a lot of truth to it. We saw her let her guard down with Danny's surprise reappearance making her blink back tears and the fact that she keeps the Rand family grave maintained, but when Danny calls her J-Money and tries to hug her she firmly puts a stop to it. "We don't do that."

* HiddenDepths: Danny proves surprisingly adroit at handling the press. When he's questioned about his stay at a psychiatric facility, at first Joy is convinced he's about to be skewered. Instead he turns it into a heart-warming story of being overwhelmed on his return to the city and lovingly given care by Joy and Ward.

Added DiffLines:

* NeutralFemale: Joy gets in a punch during the ElevatorActionSequence, but mostly she huddles behind Danny and lets him do the fighting. Justified in this case; Joy has no training and she'd either get in his way or get in the way of a swung hatchet in the dark cramped space.
