Episode 11: “.380”
I still don’t know what’s up with the Hand’s human “farms,” which are also apparently the Black Sky they always talk about. In the comics, I read the Hand’s secret purpose is to resurrect a mythical demon named the Beast (this sounds not dissimilar from the recent retcon of Hydra’s origins on Agents of SHIELD). Is that what they were digging that huge hole for? Or is it a burial pit for the half of New York Frank Castle has killed?
His hunt for the Blacksmith leads him to cross paths with Daredevil’s investigation of the Hand’s drug trade (Madame Gao, speculated to be from K’un Lun home of Iron Fist, pops by for a brief appearance). However, Frank escapes after destroying the Blacksmith’s supply after failing to find him. Matt, meanwhile, goes to stop Elektra from killing Stick when a whole bunch of ninjas show up. I gotta say, I commend them for commitment. Rosario Dawson also gets something more than being Matt’s morality pet when her hospital’s corrupt administration covers up the murder of one of the nurses. Perhaps a move to Harlem will follow?
