** Frank himself has a downplayed example, as the beatings he took in Prison have left him with enough cuts and bruises that most people don't recognize him walking around in public, despite him face being on television and the internet as a fugitive 'serial killer' loose in New York.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Frank and Karen have a thoughtful conversation in the diner, during which Frank is kind and charming to their server, unfailingly polite. Then he tells everyone to hide under something made of metal and brutally tortures and kills the hitmen the Blacksmith sent after Karen. So there's that.

* OutOfGenreExperience: With the creepy children, undead enemies popping up out of nowhere, and the flickering lights, to say noting of the obviously inhuman Madame Gao, this episode feels a lot like a horror movie.

** Treating multiple patients at a hospital without giving them any sort of admission is quite stupid, as it leaves the hospital liable and allows for a relatively easy coverup if any of them die, as there is no paperwork.

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Despite being initially furious with Daredevil, Frank becomes disturbed when 'Red' tells him that, in the case of The Blacksmith, he should probably break his no-kill rule. Frank even tries to talk him out of it, because the rule can't be broken 'just once'.


Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues: Done several times this episode:
** When Matt rescues Claire by diving out a window after her, they crash through SoftGlass window. Except, it isn't so soft, and they are both injured in the fall, and can barely even move for several minutes afterwards.
** Turns out, attacking someone by scaling a building and climbing in a window in full-view of them is a really bad idea, especially if you have no ranged weaponry, as one hapless ninja discovers.
** Treating multiple patients at a hospital without giving them any sort of admission is quite stupid, as it leaves the hospital liable and allows for a relatively easy coverup if any of them die, as there is no paperwork.
** Also, it's hard to get an employee to help you with a cover-up, especially if you have screwed her over enough times in the recent past that she doesn't have much to lose if she refuses.
