Punisher Season 2, Episode 2 Recap & Reaction, Misha the Turtle

Frank Castle and Rachel find themselves holed up in a seedy motel after narrowly escaping a group of mercenaries. The episode keeps the tension high as Frank, still recovering from a wound, zip-ties Rachel to the bed to ensure she doesn’t bolt.

Trust issues aside, their uneasy partnership takes a turn when Frank discovers mysterious film canisters on Rachel, hinting at the trouble that’s tailing them. Meanwhile, Frank’s trap for the mercenaries results in an intense battle that leaves most of them dead—except Marlena, a survivor from last episode’s bar brawl. Just when things seem to settle, the police arrive, arresting Frank, Rachel, and Marlena.

Adding more layers to the chaos, we meet a chilling new villain, Pilgrim, whose quiet menace promises to shake things up further. In New York, Billy Russo grapples with his fractured memory in therapy while Agent Madani refuses to buy into his act (is it an act though?). The episode closes with Pilgrim ominously heading to the sheriff’s office, setting the stage for a collision of characters. This chapter keeps the stakes high, with betrayals, reveals, and an ever-looming sense of danger.
