** Matt says the Hand aren't terrorists as terrorists want the world to know what they're doing. This echoes a remark Foggy made in "[[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E7Stick Stick]]" when comparing the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, at the time being painted by Wilson Fisk as a terrorist, to Al-Qaeda.
** Matt objects to Luke's suggestion that they bring Misty in, recalling what happened to Brett Mahoney when Matt dragged him into his investigation of the Hand.

Added DiffLines:

* IntroDump: InUniverse. Jessica and Luke have to introduce each other to their half of the plot. "Blind lawyer who can hear neon." and "Boy CEO with a magic fist". Then the rest of the episode deals with a deep dive into everybody's backstory and how they're all connected to the current plot. Except for Jessica and Luke.

* RealityEnsues: Jessica leaving after Stick barked at her to "Sit down and shut up!" makes sense when you remember her [[BerserkButton experience with Kilgrave]]. Someone with that kind of trauma is definitely not gonna put up with someone trying to order them around like a dog.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Initially Jessica wants nothing to do with the war, but only wants to leave even more when Sticks insulted her.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: So we know Stick is perfectly willing to go for the kill, and the rest of the group at least wouldn't get too hung up about it by this point. Yet when they have one of the key members of their hated enemy sitting right in front of them, they just...let her go with a stern talking to?
