* Jessica goes to the city's archives to search through the records using her information stolen from the crime scene. Every single time she thinks she's found the source of materials on the bombs, it ends up just being a transfer of assets to ''another'' shell company.
By the time Jessica's worked her way through the archives, she's gone back to 1820 and still has no idea what this company is or what they actually do.

''[Luke walks away as [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Foggy lets out an amused smirk]]]''
* Jessica's introduction: [[https://twitter.com/TheDefenders/status/889180011256717312 Trish is trying unsuccessfully]] to talk a parking enforcement officer out of towing her car. Suddenly, there's a spark, the tow cable breaks, and the car is dropped to the ground. It turns out Jessica grabbed Trish's car while no one was looking and yanked it off the hook by the back bumper. Trish lets out an amused smile.
** As Trish and Jessica are walking afterwards, due to a mix-up, Trish accidentally ends up drinking from Jessica's coffee, which is mixed with whiskey.

* Jessica looking through the records using her information stolen from the crime scene. Every single time she thinks she's found the source of materials on the bombs, it ends up being a transfer of assets to ''another'' shell company [[spoiler:due to all of them being owned by the Hand]], [[OverlyLongGag stretching all the way back to 1820, and maybe earlier]].

** The lead-in to this interrogation is funny too when you notice that when Luke first approaches Turk, he's in the midst of speaking to the cop that let Luke go after he escaped custody following the Harlem's Paradise standoff.
* Luke and Danny find themselves face-to-face at a site where Luke has been tracking the mysterious White Hat who's been recruiting Harlem men, and Danny and Colleen have found his crew cleaning up bodies. A scuffle ensues after Danny pulls a gas mask off of Cole. Danny tries to attack Luke without using the Iron Fist, throwing several punches at Luke's chest [[NoSell while Luke just stands still and does nothing]], and then floors Danny with a shove. Then Danny punches Luke in the face in slow motion with [[EnhancedPunch the Iron Fist]], to deliberately recall [[ContinuityNod that time]] [[Recap/LukeCage2016S1E1MomentOfTruth one of Cottonmouth's thugs tried doing it]].

* Jessica being interrogated by Misty Knight. Misty puts down some case files:
-->'''Misty Knight:''' ''[puts down one folder]'' [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled John Raymond]], the body we found in your office / apartment. ''[puts down another folder]'' [[{{Sidekick}} Malcolm Ducasse]], your friend being interrogated down the hall. ''[puts down another folder]'' And Jessica...
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' I don't know what you're talking-

** As the interrogation quickly turns south:
--->'''Jessica Jones:''' Look, I know you think you're just doing your job, but I'm telling you this case isn't normal. You are walking into some weirdass shit--\\
''[The interrogation room door opens]''\\
'''Matt Murdock:''' [[DontAnswerThat Jessica Jones, stop talking]]. Hi. This is over.\\

** Topped off by Matt's smile after Jessica's look of confusion. He’s psyched, and very amused. He’s reading the emotional reaction of both of them. The shock, discomfort, confusion. He definitely has the upper hand for the moment.

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GmXfnxRTePA The cast recalling an incident]] in which Creator/CharlieCox (who insisted he would be able to do the stunt practically instead of just using VFX in post production) as Daredevil was supposed to use his grappling cable/billy club and throw it at something only to hit Creator/MikeColter in the head despite Cox claiming to have nailed it in the rehearsal leading up to the scene. The best part? While Mike is recounting the entire story on his own, Krysten is absolutely losing her shit.

* The multitudes of fans commenting that they've never been so happy to see [[spoiler:someone getting their arm cut off]] and feel kind of guilty about it.
* During downtime between takes, Krysten Riter taught Charlie Cox how to knit, with pictures floating around of her teaching him while he was in the Daredevil costume. So it looks like the Devil of Hell's Kitchen took up a new career in knitting.

* When Matt and Foggy's bar talk at Josie's turns to Karen, Foggy says "I talked to Karen. She said you guys [[DoubleEntendre grabbed coffee]]. I don't mean to pry, but...where are you guys at? Relationship status?" Knowing that "grabbing coffee" is Luke and Claire's euphemism for sex, you'd be forgiven for thinking Foggy is trying to find out if Matt and Karen had sex rather than just go out to do her interview over lunch.

* Luke and Danny find themselves face-to-face at a site where Luke has been tracking the mysterious White Hat who's been recruiting Harlem men, and Danny and Colleen have found his crew cleaning up bodies. A scuffle ensues after Danny pulls a gas mask off of Cole. Danny tries to attack Luke without using the Iron Fist, with [[NoSell predictable results]], and then gets floored with a shove. Then Danny punches Luke in the face in slow motion with [[EnhancedPunch the Iron Fist]], to deliberately recall [[ContinuityNod that time]] [[Recap/LukeCage2016S1E1MomentOfTruth one of Cottonmouth's thugs tried doing it]].
** How Danny and Colleen reveal themselves:
-->'''Colleen Wing:''' Hey there, assholes...

* Matt tells Luke and Jessica, before taking the elevator down into the pit, [[IfWeGetThroughThis that just in case they don't make it out, he's glad they're working together.]]

* Jessica when she seemingly comes down alone to negotiate with Elektra.
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Since you showed up at my doorstep, my life has become one big kung-fu party.

* Malcolm's awkwardly asking Trish "Who is she?" and doing a double-take when [[HotScoop Karen]] arrives at the precinct.

* Luke snapping his cuffs while he's being released from prison, and scaring the guards.

* As Luke is being discharged, he is greeted by his lawyer, who we see is Foggy Nelson.

-->'''Jessica Jones:''' ...Really?

'''Matt Murdock:''' My name is Matthew Murdock. I'm your attorney.\\

* Two of Sowande's men begin firing into the restaurant with automatic rifles. Danny tries to shield Jessica from the bullets.

-->'''Jessica Jones:''' I have pictures, asshole. ''[Matt abruptly grabs Jessica's camera and smashes it]'' What the fuck?!

-->'''Luke Cage:''' And me.

* Matt is just outright ''embarrassed'' having to explain Stick to the other three.

* Jessica fights the Hand goon who is staking out John Raymond's family. The guy has a knife and puts up a bit of a fight, much to Jessica's exasperation.

-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I’m not dumb enough to think I can try and stop you. I’m here because I’m trying to help you keep your two lives separate. So they don’t lump you in with Mr. Bulletproof and...Super Music/JoanJett in there! You understand?

* Just before they go into Midland Circle Financial, Luke and Jessica talk about whether they're having second thoughts. Then Matt just walks in beside them, in full costume, grinning like a loon.

** From the way the shot is framed, it's also pretty apparent that Matt must stripped naked and changed in the middle of the street, right in front of Luke and Jessica.

* Jessica looking through the records using her information stolen from the crime scene. Every single time she thinks she's found the source of materials on the bombs, it ends up being a transfer of assets to ''another'' shell company [[spoiler:due to all of them being owned by the Hand]], to the point of an OverlyLongGag that she gets really annoyed about.
* When Matt and Foggy's bar talk at Josie's turns to Karen, Foggy says "I talked to Karen. She said you guys [[DoubleEntendre grabbed coffee]]. I don't mean to pry, but...where are you guys at? Relationship status?" which earns unintentional snickers knowing that "grabbing coffee" is Luke and Claire's euphemism for sex, and makes it seem like Foggy is thinking Matt and Karen had sex rather than just go out to do her interview over lunch.
* Luke interrogates [[ButtMonkey Turk Barrett]] in a seedy bar by unnecessarily punching a hole in a beer keg, and then tells him if his information is wrong, Luke will come back and Turk won't like him when he does.

-->'''Jessica Jones:''' There it is again.
** Even funnier is that the way the shot is framed, it looks like Matt stripped naked and changed in the middle of the street.
* When Colleen mentions that she's taking John Raymond's plan [[spoiler:to blow up Midland Circle]]:

-->'''Danny:''' You desecrate Shao-Lao.\\

* Matt tells Luke and Jessica, before taking the elevator down into the pit, that for what it's worth, he's glad they've found each other.

** Continuing from this...

* As Stick [[spoiler:decapitates Sowande]], Luke and Jessica give shocked and horrified expressions at what they just witnessed, while Matt just winces, not so much in horror, but as if thinking, "Yeah, he's killing people again."

* Foggy still has his key to Matt's apartment, so he slips away from the precinct long enough to grab Matt's Daredevil suit. On his return:
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I’m not dumb enough to think I can try and stop you. I’m here because I’m trying to help you keep your two lives separate. So they don’t lump you in with Mr. Bulletproof and Super Music/JoanJett in there!

* Jessica being interrogated by Misty Knight. Misty puts down files for [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled John Raymond]], [[{{Sidekick}} Malcolm Ducasse]], and Jessica. They all seem pretty okay... but then Misty puts down ''a second'' file, beyond overstuffed, with ''more'' stuff on Jessica.

* Jessica [[spoiler:returning to the fight]] is awesome. Her doing so via [[CarFu shoving the above Hand goon's SUV through the restaurant window?]]

* Two of Sowande's men begin firing into the restaurant with assault rifles. Danny tries to shield Jessica from the bullets.

** Stick appears to be enjoying the gunfire.

* Madame Gao and two of her men have cornered Danny. Just as her men are about to grab Danny, Jessica busts down a door and then, without any fanfare whatsoever, just turns and punches her. The image of Jessica Jones just turning and casually decking a tiny old Chinese lady in the face and tossing her offscreen is ''hilarious''. Even better knowing that old lady has been a consistent source of terror for Wilson Fisk and Harold Meachum.

** Bonus because this one was improvised by Creator/KrystenRitter, and Creator/CharlieCox counteracted without missing a beat.

* After Matt and Stick are forced to admit the truth about Elektra, Matt explains how the Hand killed her, and Danny quickly deduces that she was resurrected by the Hand. Luke and Jessica [[ArbitrarySkepticism have a little trouble believing this]].

* After Stick [[spoiler:decapitates Sowande]], Luke and Jessica give shocked and horrified expressions at what they just witnessed, while Matt just winces, not so much in horror, but as if thinking, "Yeah, he's killing people again".

* Just like the first time Karen was in Matt's apartment, Jessica can't help but wonder how Matt can afford the space. Matt points out the billboard and jokingly says he goes out and roughs up tenants late on rent.

** Danny talks about how painful it was fighting a dragon. Luke reminisces about how he once took a rocket launcher from Cottonmouth, and once got shot in the head by Jessica with a shotgun. He concludes that he would rather fight a dragon any day rather than go up against Jessica Jones. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Danny actually agrees]].

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' For what it's worth, I'm glad we found each other.\\

'''Matt Murdock:''' No, the circumstances could be different, but for what it's worth... [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming I'm glad you're here.]]\\

-->'''Jessica Jones:''' There he is again.

* After Stick [[spoiler:decapitates Sowande]], Luke and Jessica give shocked and horrified expressions at what they just witnessed, while Matt just winces, not so much in horror as if think "Yeah, he's killing people again".

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' There are people I need to protect.

''){{Beat}})''

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' I think we're safe for now.
-->'''Luke Cage:''' So we're just gonna wait it out here?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' You got a better plan?
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Is there a plan where I get my scarf back?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' I just need it 'til this is over. What, you two know each other?
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Yeah.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' How?
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' ''[shrugs]'' [[NoodleIncident We met. We drank. I shot him in the head.]] ''[Matt laughs]''

-->'''Luke Cage:''' Hey, you're not the only one-
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' And the organization we just fought are powerful.
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Yeah, ''who'' are they?
-->'''Danny Rand:''' They call themselves the Hand.
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' What are they ''really'' called?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' No, he--he's right.

-->'''Danny Rand:''' I'm the Immortal Iron Fist.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' Come again?
-->'''Danny Rand:''' Sworn protector of K'un-L'un.
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' What are you on, lithium?

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''[to Danny]'' I know you mean well, but we're not whatever you think we are. All right? We're four very different people, and while we might all have been trying to do some good, we need to be rational about how we proceed. ''[beat]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh you've got to be kidding me...]]
-->''[There's a sudden crash in the back. Luke, Jessica and Danny all jump to their feet while Matt slowly stands up. Moments later, Stick walks in]''
-->'''Stick:''' This...''[motions with his sword]''...is one shitty excuse for a hideout.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''[with a tone of restrained annoyance]'' Stick.
-->'''Stick:''' Matty.
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Who the hell are you?
-->'''Stick:''' The guy who's gonna help you save New York. ''[sheathes his sword]''

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' How did you find us, Stick?
-->'''Luke Cage:''' You know this guy?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''[sheepishly]'' It's complicated...
-->'''Jessica Jones:''' Then un-complicate it!

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''[laughs]'' [[HereWeGoAgain Yeah, here it comes]]...
-->'''Luke Cage:''' Here what comes?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' [[ManipulativeBastard This is what he does.]]
-->'''Danny Rand:''' H-How do you know him again?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' You saw me fight. I learned it from him.
-->'''Danny Rand:''' ''[still confused]'' You're a blind lawyer, you're Daredevil, ''and'' you're a member of the Chaste?
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' No. Uh-uh. I never joined his war. Hey Stick, you and I need to talk.
-->'''Luke Cage:''' Hey! Anything you've gotta say, you say in front of us.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' This is between me and him.
-->'''Luke Cage:''' And we are all in danger-
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' I don't know you very well, Mr. Cage. You seem like a good guy, so trust me when I tell you that with ''this'' old man, ''nothing'' is sacred.

** Stick gives the guys a rundown on the Fingers of the Hand. When he gets to Bakuto, Danny lets out that Bakuto is dead, causing Stick to give a very cheery "Ahh, some good news."

-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' ''[rolls his eyes, thinking "I knew I should have listened to my mother and become a butcher"]''

-->'''Colleen Wing:''' The architect was your guy, right?\\

* Matt tells Luke and Jessica, before taking the elevator down into the pit, that for what it's worth, he's glad they've found each other. A brief pause, and then:
-->'''Luke Cage:''' I'm not hugging you. ''[[[ActuallyPrettyFunny Matt laughs]]]''\\

* Once Matt puts on the Daredevil suit once again, he looks hilariously out of place fighting next to normally dressed Luke, Jessica, and Danny.

* Malcolm's awkwardly asking Trish "Who is she?" and doing a double-take when Karen arrives at the precinct.

* During downtime between takes, Krysten Riter taught Charlie Cox how to knit, with pictures floating around of her teaching him while he was in the Daredevil costume. There are even photos of this.

* One of the Behind the Scenes photos is Krysten Ritter teaching Charlie Cox to knit between scenes. It is both adorable and hilarious to see the Devil of Hell's Kitchen taking up a new career in knitting,.

* Jessica fights the Hand goon who is staking out John Raymond's family. She is very exasperated after having to disarm the guy of a knife.
