Ward’s loyalty is tested. Danny discovers a rogue division, and the mysterious Bakuto visits Colleen’s dojo unannounced.

It hasn’t been mentioned much, but there’s a line about Danny taking a vow of celibacy. A virgin superhero is actually a breath of fresh air considering many of the previous Netflix series have been steeped in sexuality. But, this episode is really interesting because we see Danny actually ask permission to have sex with someone. It might seem like an odd thing to mention, but it stands out as it does make the character stand out.

Madame Gao is the big thing here as well as a greater focus on Danny’s promise he’d do something about the poisoning his company has done.

There’s a mix of plotlines in this episode and the season. It has the drug dealing plot with the Hand and Gao and there’s the company doing wicked things. Focusing on one or the other probably would have been better, but we get both.

Out of everyone this season, so far it’s Madam Gao who stands out. Here demeanor and how she presents herself is really interesting and she feels like a threat to Danny, even though she’s half his size. She has had great presence in the previous Netflix series, but here things really stand out.

What’s odd in the storyline is the fact that no one has noticed a drug dealing operation is going on within the corporation. A floor that no one goes to. Warehouses. Shipping. No one? Seriously?

There’s some maneuvering to take on the Hand is the most interesting thing of the episode and how that all proceeds from here will be the most interesting, but it also could be a plot point that’s brought up and then abandoned.

It’s a better episode than most of the season, but still something feels like it’s missing from the episode. It’s almost good, just slightly off.
