So I look at the production stills and the trailer footage from The Defenders and I keep thinking about Matt’s part in the hallway fight that undoubtedly will be the signature scene (even if Matt looks like an idiot wearing Jessica’s scarf) of the show.

But then I wonder, can we guess what other episodes certain scenes will happen in? One guess would be with the stills that depict Matt and Karen having a late night meeting in the Bulletin office.



The guessing I’m doing here is that this Matt/Karen scene probably takes place in episode 3 or episode 4, and clearly on the same day as the big hallway fight (thank Charlie Cox for trolling his castmates in that interview), given that Matt appears to be wearing the same suit and tie in the picture above of him in Karen’s office as he is in Midland Circle and the Chinese restaurant:





I’d guess Matt’s visit to Karen probably happens right after the whole meeting with Jessica, Luke, and Danny in Midland Circle, going to the Chinese restaurant, the four of them meeting Stick, then the five of them having to fight their way out after being threatened by Alexandra. This timeline is pieced from the fact that what we’ve seen in the trailer shows Matt following Jessica to Midland Circle in late afternoon, it’s already dark by the time the four of them get to the Chinese restaurant, and it’s clear in the pictures that Karen is working very late since the only lights on are the lamps in her office (and the newsroom is completely dark).

Since in the second trailer, we have Danny saying “ They’re hunting our friends and families. And they are not going to stop there,” in the Chinese restaurant, it stands to reason that Matt would want to keep Karen safe (since this is the Hand and they kidnapped Karen once before), so upon leaving the restaurant his first instinct would be to go warn her, which is why he looks agitated and weary, and also ask her maybe to dig something up on Alexandra.

I believe that this will be followed up by a scene at the 29th Precinct, given that Karen is wearing the same shirt here at her desk…

…as she is below, standing next to Foggy in the precinct. (bluish-gray, sleeves end just above the elbows, little crease on her left shoulder):







This means we’ll have a scene around midway through episode 4 at the 29th Precinct in which at minimum, we’ll have Matt, Karen, Foggy, Luke, Claire, Colleen, and Misty all in the same room.



My evidence for this is :



Misty is wearing the same orange shirt in all three of these pictures of her talking to Matt, Claire, and Luke:





And in this new video on the Iron Fist Twitter feed, Misty is also wearing this shirt while speaking with Colleen about the katana that was confiscated from her (BTW, a very funny blunt response from Colleen there).

But wait! Those aren’t the only faces I can identify in this scene. Do you notice it? At the very beginning of the clip, look at the blonde woman with long hair in the background by the bulletin boards, just over Misty’s shoulder. Does she look familiar?

…That’s definitely Karen. Compare the above with below:

Which tells me this: because Matt is protective of Karen, he probably goes to the Bulletin right after leaving the others at the Chinese restaurant so that he can 1) give her a heads up that he’s going to be starting up as Daredevil again, 2) warn her about the danger and ask for information that might be relevant, and 3) maybe ask her for information on Luke and Danny (who Karen ought to know, seeing as she had some offscreen contact with Danny in Iron Fist and presumably she covered the Luke Cage saga off-camera as the Bulletin’s police beat reporter).



I don’t know what Luke, Jessica and Danny do once they escape. But I do think I can guess what happens to Matt. Some calls are made, and thus Matt and Karen end up having to go straight from the Bulletin to the 29th Precinct, where they run into Luke, Claire, Colleen, Foggy, and Misty.

This also proves that IMDB is lying about kare only being in episodes 1, 7 and 8.
