This is franks declaration of love, he wants the favor to mean something, his version of 'as you wish'
Extremely sad puppy dog eyes as a bonus
He got a shave and a haircut because he knew Karen was gonna be back in sight soon and he didn't want her pulling that ol' hipster joke from her back pocket in front of Matt.
In this essay -
oh the HEAT keep em comingggg
“you know, back at [frank’s] place, i heard your heartbeats.”
“god, that is really not fair.” (pause) “you heard his too?”
“oh, yeah.”
frank castle’s heart canonically races when he sees karen page. that is something that i am now CANONICALLY aware of and i’m just going to have to go on with my day with that information rattling in my skull like it’s nothing.
“DO YOU TALK TO FRANK A LOT?" THE CHUCKLES? SHE ACTUALLY CALLED FRANK? KAREN HAS HIS NUMBER? "I HEARD YOUR HEARTBEATS AT HIS PLACE?" KAREN SAYING IT WASN'T FAIR LIKE SHE WAS CAUGHT HAVING FEELINGS FOR FRANK? AND THEN KAREN WANTED TO KNOW FRANK'S FEELINGS FOR HER? "DID YOU HEAR HIS HEART TOO?" WHY DO YOU WANNA KNOW KAREN? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE HAD HIS NUMBER AND CALLED HIM TO HELP MATT BC SHE TRUSTED IN HIM? SHE HAS HIS NUMBER EXCUSE ME?????????
matt listening to frank and karen’s heartbeats and realizing that they have feelings for each other oh my god put me down right now

one thing i truly love about frank and karen (aside from, y’know, everything) is that they never have to to say it. the subtext is screaming, bleeding through in every scene.
or: in matt’s case, hearing their heartbeats lol
You know, back at his place, I heard your heartbeats. God, that is really not fair. You heard his too? Oh, yeah. It's just adrenaline, I'm sure.

They're yearning! They're pining! These loud obnoxious wordy motherfuckers who normally won't fucking shut up can barely string two words together when they're in the same room! We are SO BACK
Yes.
years later and i still think about that tps2 scene with karen’s shoes. everyone’s freaking out but the guy in the morgue was just happily skipping around in those heels, and Frank—of course, of all people—just happens to notice while he’s in the middle of escaping with Madani.
in my head, after all that, frank finds out about the shoes from madani and either 1) goes on some mission to get the heels back from the guy, but is thoughtful enough to swap them out with another pair, or 2) just buys karen a new pair, way comfier and definitely expensive.
then he just casually sneaks them into her apartment with a note that says, “owed you a pair”
