Question

I play ‘Return the Favor’ and I am stunned during the resolution of the revealed treachery card, as part of the cost for ‘Return the Favor”. Does the damage portion of ‘Return the Favor’ resolve, or is the stun applied to that resolution? Specific Example: I play ‘Return the Favor’ on ‘Absorbing Man’ and reveal ‘Icy Grip’ as part of the cost.

Answer

When you reveal the treachery with Return the Favor, you must resolve the effects of the treachery before dealing the 5 damage. So yes, you would become Stunned from revealing Icy Grip before being able to deal 5 damage—then you’d have to replace the dealing of damage with the removal of Stunned.
