Marvel-s Iron Fist Season 1 - Episode 7 May 2026

Danny, stripped of his corporate power, is going to go full vigilante. And about damn time. What did you think of Episode 7? Are you Team Danny or Team Ward? Let me know in the comments below!

“Felling Tree with Roots” is a transitional episode, but it’s a necessary one. It shores up the corporate plot, gives Colleen more agency, and finally acknowledges that Danny’s naivety is a liability, not a virtue. If you’ve been struggling with the slow burn of Season 1, this episode is the spark that suggests the fire is coming. Marvel-s Iron Fist Season 1 - Episode 7

Spoiler Warning: If you haven’t watched Episode 7 of Iron Fist yet, go finish your training at K’un-Lun and come back. Danny, stripped of his corporate power, is going

The highlight? A brief but brutal fight between Colleen and a Hatchet man where she uses her kata as a defensive shield before striking. Jessica Henwick continues to steal every scene she’s in. The episode ends with a predictable but effective twist: Ward sells Danny out. After gaining Danny’s trust (and a bizarre, emotionally stunted hug), Ward votes to remove Danny as CEO. The betrayal stings less because we saw it coming, but more because of how it happens. Ward isn’t a cartoon villain. He’s a terrified addict whose father is literally a ghost haunting his life. When he whispers to Danny, “You don’t belong here,” he’s actually telling the truth. Final Verdict Score: 7/10 Are you Team Danny or Team Ward

Another monologue about K’un-Lun that doesn’t show us anything new. We get it. You miss your dragon.

We are officially past the halfway point of Season 1, and Episode 7, “Felling Tree with Roots,” does something unexpected: it slows down. After last week’s explosive (and slightly confusing) corporate warfare, this episode takes a deep breath. But don’t mistake stillness for boredom. This is the episode where loyalties are truly tested, and Danny Rand finally starts to look like the hero we’ve been waiting for. The cold open gives us exactly what we wanted: Danny and Colleen training together. Their chemistry has been the show’s secret weapon, and watching them spar is a visual relief from the fluorescent-lit boardrooms of Rand Enterprises. Their conversation cuts to the heart of Danny’s struggle—he’s a weapon looking for a war, while Colleen is a warrior who has learned to pick her battles.

Ward’s hallucination of Harold. It’s the most Marvel Netflix moment of the entire series so far.
