But before we get to her, we need to talk about the big return in the episode.
Yes, surprising no one, Harold Meachum has returned from the dead, and it’s quite silly.
Having realized he cannot die, Harold decides to make the most of it.

From his penthouse, Harold guides her upstairs and is reunited with his daughter.
It’s sort of like Ra’s al Ghul’s relationship with the Lazarus Pit.
It’s a hilariously over-the-top scene and might be the show’s most ridiculous moment so far.
That being said, at least it wasn’t dull.
The new information we’ve gained about Harold Meachum has implications for the entire Marvel/Netflix universe, specifically forElektra.
In case you forgot,Daredevilseason 2 ended with a dead Elektra a.k.a.
the Black Sky, a.k.a.
the weapon of the Hand/Living MacGuffin being put into some kind of fancy casket.
BeforeIron Fistwas released, we knew Elektra would pop up inThe Defenders, but we didn’t know how.
Instead, Claire suggests that Danny use sodium pentothal, a.k.a.
truth serum, to get some answers about his family out of Gao.
She begins with Claire.
The other problem with this entire setup is that we know Gao is quite powerful.
Why is she allowing herself just to hang there?
I’m sure she could’ve escaped by now.
Does she just enjoy screwing with people that much?
Despite the fact I do enjoy watching Gao screw with people, the whole setup is kind of silly.
Fortunately, Harold Meachum was more than willing to work together.
Gao passes out, and then Colleen falls ill from being poisoned in the last episode.
In her near-delirious state, Colleen tells them to call her sensei Bakuto.
When Bakuto arrives, he takes care of the rest of Gao’s men who surrounded the building.
His presence there clearly worries Gao, which is why Danny allows him to enter.
Bakuto picks up an unconscious Danny and leaves the dojo with Colleen and Gao.
Who is this man?
This leads me to assume that he must be from K’un-Lun.
