Episode 8 of Daredevil: Born Again really upped the stakes, didn’t it? We got major revelations that fans had been eagerly awaiting, starting with the shocking truth about Foggy Nelson’s murder. While Matt initially suspects Bullseye (Dex Poindexter) and even Wilson Fisk’s involvement, the twist comes when it’s revealed that none other than Vanessa Fisk ordered Foggy’s death. Vanessa has truly evolved into a chilling figure in this season, especially when she ruthlessly kills her former lover, Adam, without a second thought.
Matt’s disillusionment with the legal system and his growing frustration with his role in it are key emotional beats in this episode. Returning to Josie’s bar, he reflects on Foggy’s celebration of a legal win, making his death feel even more tragic and unjust.
The tension intensifies when Bullseye escapes from prison using a broken tooth as a weapon—purely brutal. His infiltration of the Black and White Ball adds a layer of chaos to the already volatile situation. And in a true Daredevil fashion, Matt, always driven by a sense of justice, throws himself in front of a bullet meant for Fisk, further blurring the lines between heroism and sacrifice.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Matt bleeding out, leaving fans desperate to know how he’ll survive and what will happen in the season finale. With Bullseye still out there and the city on the brink of learning the truth about Fisk, the stage is set for a jaw-dropping conclusion.
