We begin, of course, with Matt Murdock.

He is, as he tells Sister Maggie, grieving.

Matt believed that being Daredevil was a way to answer the prayers of the helpless.

Why else would he be able to hear them?

At arguing, deflecting, Tomlin tells Matt.

Youre going to have to find a way of dealing with your anger.

Or its going to destroy you.

As we can see from present-day Matt, its not a lesson that ever really took.

His delusion, he says, was in thinking that God had anything to do with it.

Hes Daredevil, and not even God can stop that now.

Meanwhile, the deal that Agent Nadeem has cut with Fisk is bearing tremendous fruit.

Sounds like a great incentive for some bad decisions!

Case in point: Fisk is shanked for snitching.

But it also holds true for most of the cast.

For now, a hunch is all Karen gets, but its enough.

Thank God for you, Neda tells him.

He didnt help you, Daredevil says.

This is, as we say in the biz,delicious.

Legitimately impressive, however, is the way the episode ends.

So good that this agent might turn out to beimportantlater.

If you catch my drift.

But this attack isnt just there to tease a man with uncanny hand-eye coordination.

Its also there to complicate the FBIs arrangement with Fisk, which they likely wanted to keep quiet.

Now its out there.

Wilson Fisk is out of prison.

And Matt Murdock has heard the news.

Our boy has found himself a purpose again.

Its probably not going to end well.
