* AfterActionPatchUp: Downplayed; Matt cleans Stick's injuries, but only after duct-taping him to a chair. Elektra later brings him a sandwich.
* AllOfThem: The Hand identifies twenty 'targets' to draw out Daredevil, later revealed to be people he has saved in the past. Nobu tells his underling to snatch all of them.
