This episode is a truly masterpiece,great direction,great fight scenes,and Deborah Ann Woll acting always phenomenal,she's such incredible and talented,and I love Karen.
Initially looked like a beautiful short movie, which took us into the world of Karen.
It was great to see her backstory which was longly awaited & showed how troubled she was just like any other.
The show ended with some super intense great fight sequence. Claps

This wasn't a Daredevil episode, it was finely crafted small-town mini drama about a girl trapped by love and feelings of family responsibility. Suddenly we see Karen as a real person, not a sidekick or a foil in some superhero story-arc, but just as one of us. A fine performance and an unexpected and welcome change of focus, worthy of an award or two.
This episode is truly unique to the MCU. Maybe it's not the best, but it was amazingly interesting to see a part of the world outside of superhero's with Karen's backstory about what happened to her and her brother. It just shows how big the MCU really is and how it can be more than just Iron Man and Thor, it can be a family crisis in wyoming and Karen Page becoming her own hero.
"I initially rated this episode an 8, but after reading some reviews and reflecting on it, I decided to give it a 10. Karen's backstory was exactly what the series needed-it explains so much about her actions and character. We all assumed she was a high-class woman working as an accountant for a big company, with her cute and feminine demeanor. But this episode showed her bravery and resilience, revealing that she's no stranger to a tough, wild life.
The backstory answered so many questions I had throughout the series: Why doesn't Karen have a family? Why does she live in such a rundown apartment? Why is she always alone? This episode tied everything together, completing the missing pieces and giving us a deeper understanding of who Karen Page really is. I had been waiting for this moment all season, and it didn't disappoint.

Did you know
- TriviaThe only Daredevil episode that does not feature Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson).
- GoofsFather Lantom tells Karen the quote "Everything will be okay in the end, and if it's not okay, then it's not the end" and attributes it to John Lennon. This quote is widely attributed to Lennon on the Internet, but it also attributed to Oscar Wilde, Paulo Coelho, and as "an old Indian saying." None of these possible attributions include where/when it was said and as a result should all be considered apocryphal. However, if so many people are misguided about quotation's origins, then the show characters may know wrong, too.
- Quotes
Father Lantom: Whatever it is that you've done or haven't done, it can still be redeemed.
Karen Page: Yeah, that's nice, but I'm not so sure that I believe that.
Father Lantom: "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." John Lennon said that. Who are we to argue with a Beatle?
