Season 1 had Agent Madani frequently butting heads with Frank Castle, with her belief firmly placed in the system going up against his 'f**k the system' approach.

In Season 2, we have Brett Mahoney filling that role, with Madani now much more sympathetic to Frank's approach, and that's something the ending in particular rams home. After refusing to turn Frank in to Mahoney, we pick up three months later, and find that Madani is now working for the CIA, It's a job where she can get her hands dirtier, and is definitely a little more morally questionable.

For as much as it's about questioning whether Frank can be good, he also makes others see the world differently, and it's clear that she has learned a lot from Frank, even going so far as to not just accepting his methods, but wanting to put them to use for the government.
