The Punisher Season 2: 15 Easter Eggs & References Explained

3. Karen Page & Matt Murdock

Daredevil's Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) appears in the season's eleventh episode after showing up in a few episodes of the previous season. Her fleeting role here sees her meeting up with a hospitalised Frank following a brutal wounding courtesy of Russo and his goons, and then having a quick chit-chat with Dinah before going on her merry way.

The Punisher is by far the most standalone of the Netflix MCU series, so this was a nice little treat. Tellingly, she refers to herself as a representative of Nelson and Murdock, not Nelson, Murdock and Page as the trio agreed upon at the end of Daredevil's third season. As this is presumed to take place after Daredevil's third season, maybe the paperwork just hasn't been filed yet?

Frank also briefly namedrops Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), asking Karen if he knows she's here and then imploring her not to "throw that away." D'aww.

With the depressing cancellation of Daredevil shortly after season three's release, savour this as perhaps the final send-off for the plucky Ms. Page.
