The episode begins with a flashback to Elektra meeting with Stick some time ago.
From their conversation, we know its from around the time when Elektra first approached Matt.
She tells Stick that itll be impossible to convince Matt to kill, even for the Chaste.

This is not what Stick wants to hear, because he truly believes they need Matt.
Honestly, this flashback is rather unnecessary.
All she wants is the Substance.
Things arent looking good, because the cops found two bodies with them in the warehouse.
But thats just it, he says: This is my life.
This might be Matts strongest character moment inThe Defendersso far.
For such an important moment, it does feel rather underplayed in the episode.
Colleen and Claire use this downtime to discuss heroism.
Its been a long week, she says in response to the looks she gets from her companions.
Behind that door is the true power of the Hand, she says.
Its incredibly hard to understand whats going on because the sequence has been edited to hell and back.
This is a stupid plan, but at least Daredevil is assuming that leadership role.
Most Valuable Defender:Daredevil, for fully embracing this side of himself.
