“To Have and to Hold” focuses as much on the underappreciated Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie) as the case of the week which involves the death of a woman recently released from prison for stealing millions of her clients money. The tie-in with NIS is the woman’s husband who believed the woman  had changed, although facts uncovered over the course of the investigation suggest otherwise. Notably, it’s another episode of the series where Gibbs (Austin Stowell) is pushed mainly to the sideline while other characters are highlighted.

Daredevil – With Interest

  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – With Interest
  • wiki: link

In what is the obligatory standalone crossover episode, “With Interest” continues themes of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) struggling with his need to put his skills outside of the courtroom to use. In this episode this involves Hell Kitchen’s most famous blind lawyer walking into a bank during a robbery and finding ways to keep everyone safe, prevent the theft of a rare jewel from a safe deposit box, and dole out a little punishment. The episode works in a vacuum with the various other storylines put on hold for this single adventure which, in part, is also used to introduce Matt to the bank’s assistant manager Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur) who happens to have a hero in the family.

While Watson (Morris Chestnut) and his team begin diagnosing a scared and erratic young woman (Caitlin Stasey) whose short-term memory resets every three minutes, Moriarty (Randall Park) blackmails Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) into messing with the good doctor’s medicine once again. This time, however, despite the hallucinations, Watson is clear enough to suspect the medication and the most likely source of its tampering. Stepping into to allow for an alternate fall guy (Ryan Robbins), Moriarty still reveals himself to Watson and recruits another member of his staff for purposes that are yet to be revealed.
