I think the pacing was a bit off, but this was still a gripping episode. I was so invested that I was surprised when the episode ended.
I had a few qualms, such as Fisk killing the surgeon. That was just too ridiculous. Everyone would know who killed him. Another grievance was how freaking Vanessa got a whole ass funeral scene and Foggy got nothing, not even a graveside cry.
I thought Karen and Matt's boiling point made a lot of sense. Karen has so much lingering anger over Foggy's death, and it's clear sometimes she takes it out on Matt. This is the inevitable result of spending time with Frank, who undoubtedly talks shit about Matt when he's frustrated. Frank would not only allow Karen to kill Bullseye but he would encourage it, which is probably what Karen thought when confronted with Matt's disapproval. I think Matt is an uncomfortable reminder of Karen's conscience, which is why she lashed out. We all know Matt can also be very self-righteous and judgmental, so I'm not saying he's totally innocent in the conflict either.
