Fisk and Murdock wrestle with the consequences of their chosen paths, while Ben and Karen get closer to Fisk’s true past.

This is the build up to the final couple episodes of the season for Marvel and Netflix‘s Daredevil. It feels like that moment in the movies where the heroes beaten up regroup and psyche themselves up to go back and defeat the bad-guy. But in this case, that’s drawn out over an hour and much slower. There’s even that moment of self doubt where the hero reflects on what their friend said and questions if they’re doing the right thing. It’s cliche, but at least it’s out of the way. There’s also a similar moment between Karen and Foggy as well.

The cool moment is finally starting to see the evolution of the red uniform Matt will eventually wear as Daredevil. It’s kind of a neat moment, but there’s a statement by Matt that’s almost too Batman like. It made me wince, but it at least included a nice fight scene.

There’s also more Karen in danger. It’s now a recurring thing in the series, which is a bit blah. They definitely needed to do something with the storyline of her searching for info on Fisk, but this didn’t seem to be the way to do it. It’s very villain rants and explains their plan. And it ends up as you’d expect, though Karen makes a statement that she has quite the past.

The episode is just ok, and to me the worst up to this point.
