So Angela is DEFINITELY taking the mantle of White Tiger by the end of the season. Her scene at the morgue was so good. She was this close to just saying ACAB.

I also loved Leroy Bradford's story. At first it seemed like just a distraction for the overall plot. Matt is still torn up over Hector's death and doesn't really want to be bothered with Leroy's case. It seems like an open-and-shut case that was even being played for laughs ("Could it have been a Skrull?"). Leroy seemed like such an asshole at first, making fun of Matt for being blind. But it ended up being a very poignant indictment of the entire criminal justice system and society more broadly. Leroy thought he was being given the dregs of a lawyer because nobody cared about his case. Matt did an absolutely great job in getting the sentence reduced down to 10 days, which seemed like a great win at first. But it really just served to highlight to Matt how the entire system is corrupt. Even when he does the absolute best anyone could hope to do in his position, it's still an absolute miscarriage of justice.

Then add in the conversation with Frank about how Foggy is dead while Bullseye is still alive. In prison, yes, but still alive.

This whole episode is just Matt's (refound) faith in the justice system getting shattered. Matt had 3 "wins" using the system as it was meant to be used (Bullseye's conviction, Hector's acquittal, Leroy's sentence getting reduced to 10 days) and all 3 ended up being massive miscarriages of justice.

Matt's right at the breaking point. He just needs 1 more thing to push him over the edge to put the mask back on.

I expect we'll get a more specific breaking point, but Matt is already training, he's already looking for something to fix.

His words to Angela were that we have to trust that "someone" will find the people responsible. Matt already started down the path and ended up talking to Frank. I fully expect him to continue down that path next episode. The question is, will he try and put them through the justice system first? Or just start to solve it on his own?

I'm just dying for the scene of Frank slaughtering a bunch of cops with Punisher tattoos. That, and Matt's second showdown with the cop whose ass he beat at the end of episode 2. Literally every time the two have been in a scene since, Matt has taunted him for getting his ass kicked. The rematch will be very satisfying.
