Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the flashback scene, one of the nuns mentions to Stick of Matt's mother not being deceased. This hint is based on the fact that during Frank Miller's run in the comics, in the "Born Again" story arc, Matt's mother Margret was revealed to still be alive, where she had run away to become a nun and is living under the name Sister Maggie.
- GoofsAt the end of the episode(at around 45mins) when Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall )sticks the card of "black mask" the thumbtack is silver then the camera goes off and when it goes back the thumbtack is red. NB: The king of diamonds card next to it is also slightly different.
- Quotes
Stick: Smart don't come out of books, kid. Smart is making the right decision at the right time. Like now. What's it gonna be, Matty? You gonna spend your life crying and rocking yourself to sleep at night? Or are you gonna dig deep and find out what it takes to reshuffle those cards life dealt you? Your call.

Episode 7 gave us an inside and in depth look at some of Matt's training in becoming the man without fear. Scott Glenn guest starred as 'Stick', another blind man who came along when Matt was young to help him improve his physical and mental abilities. I really like how this show makes every episode feel completely different than the last. There really hasn't been a single villain of the week. Each villain or main baddie in the episodes has furthered the bigger picture and mystery surrounding Wilson Fisk.
This episode focused mostly on Matt's flashbacks and his Ras Al Ghul like training. Actually the entire episode felt like Batman Begins. Whether it was Stick's training or the take out scene near the lake. Daredevil's mythos is similar to Batman's to being with, but it seems like this show has taken inspiration from Nolan's trilogy, much the same as Arrow did. One Stick scene that really stood out was the park scene. Stick seemed like the one guy who can change Matt's outlook on life and turn everything around. But to then leave him out to dry on his own after Matt growing an affection for him as a father figure was pretty brutal. So it was good to see him get some sort of redemption in the end. But who was that man at the end? Surely I need to catch up on my Daredevil lore. No matter, Scott Glenn was a great guest star but it wasn't surprising to see their team up turn sour.
On the other side of things we got progression with Urich and Karen's hope to take down the men who murdered Daniel. It's cool as an audience member to know much more than the crew does. It's interesting to think about how much longer the crew will go without knowing Matt's identity. I will say I still feel like the Foggy-Karen relationship is a bit forced. And Foggy's rescue of Karen seemed far fetched, especially considering how brutal Hell's Kitchen's criminals have seemed thus far.
