When Fisk gains the upper hand, the goal to destroy him becomes even more difficult, while Daredevil faces his own demons.

The episode kicks off with a fight that should excite Marvel comic fans. Yes, that’s Daredevil fighting a ninja in red! The Hand has entered the scene! Woo-hoo! At least, I assume it’s the Hand…..

But the episode continues the chess match that’s occurring now between Fisk and Daredevil, as Fisk has finally come out of the shadows, and is making a rather legit looking move. But, he is the Kingpin, which means there are things going on behind the scenes.

What goes on is front and center, and it greatly impacts Foggy and Karen as both are emotionally drained by events. It also sends Matt off on a quest, putting him into combat with Nobu. As we learn, it’s all the Kingpin ahead of Murdock and his team, playing them exactly as he wants.

The episode is a cool one in how it’s set up timeline wise. The gamesmanship has also been amped up a lot, especially with Fisk now being front and center. It’s like the pieces of a puzzle coming together episode by episode. While it’s not the best episode, it continues a solid series.
