to:

* BoomHeadshot: Frank shoots Eliza in the head as she's about to stab Amy with a table knife. He has to actually drink for his hands to stay still during a surgery.
* ButNowIMustGo: After all their enemies are dead, Frank parts ways with Amy, wanting her to have a normal life. He even pulled some strings and sends her to a friend of Curtis who is running a Diving School, as that was always her biggest dream.

Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Curtis promises Billy that he won't call the cops - instead he calls Frank.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Krista Dumont is still alive, but as Mahoney puts it, she might soon wish that she weren't, as she fell out of a third-story window. When Madani meets her, she is in bandages. And given that she is about to go to prison and soon receive the message of Billy being dead, death surely would have been a more kind fate for her.
* IHaveYourWife: Eliza doesn't directly threaten John, but having his son come to the phone and then telling him to remember what he is fighting for very much implies that she is willing to hurt his children if he fails his task.
* IHaveComeTooFar: When Amy tries to convince Pilgrim to let her go, he states that he wishes he could, but it is too late.
* IWorkAlone: During the final scene after a TimeSkip, Madani (who now works at the CIA) offers Frank a job. He declines, stating that he already ''has'' a job as the Punisher.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There is no further mentioning of what became of Beth and her son Rex from the first episode.


Added DiffLines:

* WorthyOpponent: Pilgrim and Frank seem to consider each other as this by the end, to the point of Frank letting him walk away with his sons.

* MutualDisadvantage: Frank's and Pilgrim's final fight is an ugly, staggering affair, with both of them nursing so many injuries from earlier in the season that neither can make a particularly impressive go at it.

None

Added DiffLines:

* ShutUpHannibal: One possible interpretation of Frank [[KilledMidSentence shooting Billy dead in the middle of Billy's ramblings]] about his complicated feelings towards Frank - it might have been Frank's way of demonstrating that ''his'' feelings at that point was that Billy was just another bad guy who needed killing and that their supposed connection had become entirely one-sided.
