History Recap / Daredevil2015S3E1Resurrection

** Matt a few brief flashbacks to his time with Elektra.

** In the flashbacks, Karen finds herself conflicted by this--she's furious with Matt for lying to her, but she knows she should be grateful to this man who has fought to save her life on two separate occasions.
** Ray Nadeem demands a performance review ahead of schedule, noting that his have been repeatedly deferred, denying him promotion opportunities. SAC Hattley admits that she's been doing this deliberately, to ''protect'' him, because his credit rating is garbage due to funding his sister-in-law's cancer treatments, making him a potential target for recruitment by criminals.
* {{Flashback}}: To directly after Matt revealed his secret identity to Karen. He also has a few brief flashbacks to his time with Elektra.

** Ray Nadeem has a big house, wants a swimming pool, he's throwing a lavish party for his recently cancer-free sister-in-law (whose treatment he underwrote because of the insurance companies not wanting to cover her), and his wife notes that the credit card got declined at the deli. As SAC Hattley notes when Ray goes to her office to ask for his performance review to be moved up, financial troubles are one of ''the'' traits sought by criminals looking to subvert police or intelligence agents. And then Hattley tasks Ray with going to the prison to visit Wilson Fisk, a crime boss who was known for bribing NYPD officers to do his dirty work for him.

* WhamShot: Nadeem is told by Hattley that it's his turn to talk to a prisoner the FBI's been trying to turn into an informant for several month. Despite Nadeem's protests that it's pointless because the guy won't cooperate, he agrees to do it. Cut to Nadeem in a visitor's room at the prison. Moments later, the prisoner is escorted into the room. It's Wilson Fisk.

* DoubleSpeak: In the flashback to Matt's reveal scene with Karen, Karen says when Matt is putting her hand on his heart, "I'm not so sure Daredevil is the problem." From the way Matt reacts, he thinks she's talking about him, when in actuality Karen is referring to her own past that she's kept secret from him, as Deborah Ann Woll later revealed in a podcast interview.

** Ray Nadeem has a big house, wants a swimming pool, he's throwing a lavish party for his recently cancer-free sister-in-law (whose treatment he underwrote because of the insurance companies not wanting to cover her), and his wife notes that the credit card got declined at the deli. As SAC Hattley notes when Ray goes to her office to ask for his performance review to be moved up, money problems are one of ''the'' traits sought by criminals looking to subvert police or intelligence agents.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Matt spent two seasons being a devout Catholic and very respectful of Father Lantom and actively seeking his advice on spiritual matters. After he wakes up, he turns away from Lantom's advice ''and'' offer of Catholic rites like confession and communion.

* ShootTheMessenger: Lampshaded when Donovan and Lee walk in to deliver the bad news that the feds have decided to charge Vanessa, meaning she can never return to the US, Donovan asks Fisk to remember that they're just the bearers of bad news. Given Vanessa is Fisk's BerserkButton and he goes ''quite'' berserk, this is a very reasonable fear on Donovan's part.

* SoProudOfYou: She doesn't say it in the moment, but when Maggie walks in on Matt punching bags of fertilizer and see's him ''finally'' in a positive mood, ready to really mend, bragging about being able to hear all the subway lines running under the church, her face ''screams'' it. Then he identifies what fast food she brought him and she rolls her eyes and says he's "just showing off". After Lantom brings in a sparring partner for him, she even says it out loud.

* WhamLine:
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' I want to make a deal.

* CruelToBeKind: Tammy Hattley has been refusing Agent Nadeem a promotion because of his bad financial situation. With his horrible fico score, it would just get him under scrutiny.

** Nadeem demands a performance review ahead of schedule, noting that his have been repeatedly deferred, denying him promotion opportunities. His boss says that this was deliberate, to ''protect'' him, because his credit rating is garbage due to funding his sister-in-law's cancer treatments, making him a potential target for recruitment.

This is all {{lampshaded}} by his supervisor when he demands a performance review ahead of schedule.

* WorstAid: Neti pots are of dubious value generally (the little genie's lantern thing Matt uses to clear his sinuses just before he regains his SuperSenses), due to the fact that they don't treat the underlying cause of congestion and might encourage the body to overproduce even more in response, but Matt fills his with straight tap-water. When you flood a cavity with water that isn't intended to be filled with water, you need to go above and beyond even what modern water treatment standards demand.
