Did anyone else notice that there was no #BLINDSIDE in the bottom left corner of the screen like they do for every other blindside? That was the best blindside of the season!

I was confused by Victor saying that, so I went back and watched the ending again. I had assumed Laure was inside the Helping Hand when they shuddered the windows but I didn't notice them specifically show her inside. The officers outside are shown from a distance, although they all look like men to me. Could be that Victor is referring to him and Julie not having contact with anyone but those inside the house they are being kept in.

Good observation! I hadn't considered that Victor was the reason Julie and Laure couldn't leave in S1. The thing that confused me was the horde of Returned showing up after Lucy took Audrey to be with Camille and her mother. It seemed like Lucy was working with them in S1. Maybe I misunderstood that scene? Looking forward to Sandrine's reaction to Audrey's return. She was so nasty to Camille last season.

Has Tamra never talked to someone who goes to church before? I didn't understand why she thinks her life will transform into something so fantastic. People who are baptized have plenty of problems, too. Makes me all the more suspicious of her Come-To-Jesus storyline. Vicki doesn't understand why people would be talking to her about Brooks faking cancer? How dense is this woman??? LOL!

Ain't that the truth! The only good thing about Andre's return, so far, has been him and Chad being snarky with each other. My hopes for this new writing team are diminished by the day.

The producers should have cast someone who'd have a personality conflict with one of the ladies. I enjoyed Shannon and Heather going at each other last season far more than all of this gossiping about whether Brooks has cancer. Are they contracted to sit through a scene? I didn't understand why Vicki didn't just get up and leave Shannon sitting there at that lunch. For once, I think I actually felt a ping of sympathy for Vicki.

I was thinking along the same line. Being dead on a soap usually means we're going to see plenty of crying, not necessarily that the character is actually deceased.

I didn't think Shawn Christian would ever leave the show but someone will take Daniel's place as the over-used, annoying character. They always do. It's like a Universal Law.

Heather has to walk away because she can't be phony? Since when?

And she trained that cute server to say it, too. Ugh.

Lito's individual story is still the most interesting to me. A nice mix of comedy and tension. I agree with what Sobriquet said above about it being odd that Joaquin is just now showing up to confront Lito about Daniella. Nomi's situation is frightening but some of her dialogue comes off as sappy to me. I'm assuming Sayid (Jonas) didn't mind being caught, or he's somehow deceiving the authorities. Great fight scene at the end. It was cool to watch them connect in a way that's helpful, rather than confusing. If a part of this story is that no matter our skills, we're all useful in some way....I guess I can appreciate that.

Enjoyed the Mexican actor trying to decide how to handle his "girlfriend" showing up drunk the most, until Sayid showed up at that convenience store and gave Will an ass kicking. That was a fun chase scene. At least the guy in love with the Kala Dandekar seems like one of the good ones, which made that situation a little more complex. I'm intrigued by what's going on with Nomi but the way the actress delivers some of her lines slightly annoys me. It's almost like she has some kind of Valley Girl affectation. Am I showing my age?

A camel's never gonna win. Never.

Jon Connington

I was thinking the same thing. I was so excited for him to get the Daredevil suit but I think the fight scenes with Matt in the black costume looked more natural. Maybe the suit will get some adjustments for next season? Talk about "Be careful what you wish for!"

Wow! Nice surprise ending! I've preferred Wesley's version of sidekick over Foggy's, so I'm disappointed to see him go. But I'm so not a fan of Fisk that it warms my heart a bit to see the two people closest to him incapacitated. Good to see Claire again, even if it was a brief visit. Intrigued by Karen saying something about shooting someone before.

They had Rosario Dawson for only 5 episodes. She's been in 4 by this episode.

I thought there was more to it than Stick just being an asshole. He wanted a soldier who wasn't swayed by emotions. Perhaps that wasn't something that was achievable with Matt but there was a purpose behind Stick's particular brand of training.

Who is Daniel?

Wait, what was the right lesson he showed to his son?

Am I the only one who isn't loving D'Onofrio as Fisk? Perhaps. Something is still bothering me with the way he delivers his lines, though I do buy him as a formidable villain. And, I liked him being one step ahead of everyone with his news conference at the end. Loved Madame Gao putting Fisk in his place. Certainly she heard the big tantrum he threw as she walked out of the room. A good episode but I wouldn't list it as a favorite. The e-vol daddy back story made me chuckle a bit.

I wish we would have learned more about the Black Sky, especially because it was a kid in chains. Scott Glenn was great. He made me both smile and hate him a little. The "No Killing" thing makes me think of Avatar Aang in The Last Airbender. But at least Aang was just a kid. Even if Matt doesn't want to kill himself, I don't see why he's so opposed to someone else doing it. Leland Owlsley is a hoot.

This show is such a tease. Each week I think I'm going to get some action, then walk away frustrated. Good to see Claudia again. Poor Paige has got a rotten deal with those parents.

They kissed! Then she kinda-sorta broke up with him. Oh well. I enjoyed it while it lasted, lol. Always happy to spend some time with Leland Owlsley, even if it's only a few minutes. What a treat to have a show with awesome fight scenes and characters who have thoughtful conversations. Really enjoyed Vanessa and Fisk's date. "My painting." Like a little boy with his toys. And that ending! I had to watch the first few minutes of the next episode to see how it played out.

Does Vincent D'Onofrio always sound like that when he talks? I suppose it will be unpopular to say that it sounded like he was trying too hard. I did appreciate his body language in Fisk's scenes with Vanessa Marianna. Poor Anatoly, though. He made it all the way from that prison in Siberia just to have his head bashed in by a car door. Is that a dream come true? Loved Claire's laugh when she realized "Mike" had arrived to free her from the Russians. Those two have some romantic chemistry that make me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside.
