Joy’s interrogation of Mary takes a turn. Misty gives Danny an earful. Ward extends an olive branch. Davos makes a crucial discovery.

The episode kicks off with two confrontations. Davos and Joy confront Mary about her giving her photos to Danny. Mary says she didn’t do it. Is she telling the truth? We learn that and that may be one of the more controversial subjects of the season. With Mary, Iron Fist Season 2 is touching on multiple personality disorder which some may be happy about but others will likely be unhappy with the portrayal. How accurate is it? I can’t say, not this site’s expertise. But, it’s an interesting addition to the season and Mary in four episodes has gone from innocent new character to one that’s clearly a threat and a scary one at that.

The other confrontation is Danny and Colleen seeing Mrs. Yang about the screwed up meeting. There they learn the truth about her husband and who’s behind his issues… all pointing to Davos, which we know from previous episodes. But why?

That’s answered this episode as well!

What’s good about the fourth episode is that it connects some of the dots quickly and in doing so takes what feels like three slow episodes and speeds things up a bit. The pacing of the show ramps up and moves the plot along quite nicely. An issue with Marvel’s Netflix shows is that they at times can feel a bit decompressed. This season so far seems to correct that to an extent.

We also get to see Danny’s optimism again. He does something we know is going to go bad and he does it because he thinks he can talk to Davos and get him to change course. There’s a positivity about his actions that is hard to dislike because it’s so rare. But, because it’s so rare, it’s also hard to relate to.

What’s also interesting is the episode opens with the “fate” of Danny which we see the how by episode’s end. Danny has someone who can take him on in a fight and it’s a decent fight. Though, you kind of wonder where the police are in all of this. Like earlier fights in the season, this one has a bit more action and much more thought out. How is Danny’s attacker better than him? Maybe we’ll find out but right now we at least have a challenge for him when it comes to hand to hand combat.

The end of the episode? Well, that sets up even more…
