#THE ARROW SEASON 1 EPISODE 2 FULL#
Eleanor, however, is there with a quiver full of affirmations about the wonderful person Kate is and the amazing future ahead of her, though those affirmations all come with discouragements about attempting superheroics. Beaten up and defeated, Kate’s dispirited by the turn her partnership with Clint has taken. What she does have, however, is the warm glow that only maternal love and concern can bestow. But ultimately Yelena’s there for a pretty mundane reason: She wants info on Clint’s location, info Kate doesn’t have. “You’re probably thinking, ‘What! This is crazy!’,” she tells Kate. She shows up at Kate’s burned-out old apartment and makes her some macaroni and cheese, which she serves up with a side order of smiling intimidation and an unnerving tendency to use Kate’s full name at all times. To that end, she’s relentless, if meticulous and thoughtful. She’s been hired by some mysterious someone (let’s just call him “Kingpin”) to kill him. She’s not mad enough, however, to take out Clint for personal reasons.
She returns to a much-changed world, one in which Natasha is no longer alive. She barely has time to dish about her awesome life before Yelena, after excusing herself, is Blipped out of existence for five years. Instead, she’s a highly successful killer for hire fully in charge of her senses. Picking up where Black Widow left off, Yelena and a fellow Widow are making the rounds chemically deprogramming other Widows only to discover that their latest target, Anna, is not a brainwashed killer for hire. “Ronin,” the penultimate episode of Hawkeye’s first season, opens by catching up with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Natasha’s “sister” and a fellow graduate of the Black Widow Finishing School for Young Assassins (or whatever it’s called). Speaking of continuity, the MCU’s might not be watertight, but Marvel doesn’t leave a lot of gaps unfilled when it gets the chance to fill them. What’s more, D’Onofrio’s performance is one of the best elements of Daredevil, and while the MCU largely ignores its weird, Netflix-born cousins, they’re still officially in continuity. And there he is in the episode’s final frame, talking to Eleanor Bishop, much to the shock of Kate.Īnd why not? Kingpin’s one of Marvel’s best villains, serving as a regular foil to Daredevil, an occasional foil to Spider-Man, and a general pain in the butt to Marvel’s NY heroes. It would be tempting to say, “Called it,” but who couldn’t have called that? The show hasn’t exactly been subtle with its hints, up to and including the Fat Man Used Cars lot that plays a key role in this episode.

Let’s start with the ending and the big reveal that the “Big Guy” alluded to throughout the series is actually the Kingpin of Crime, as played by Vincent D’Onofrio on the Netflix Marvel series Daredevil.
