- Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Requiem
- IMDb: link
As civil unrest boils over, a resistance takes to the street to protest Mayor Wilson Fisk‘s (Vincent D’Onofrio) policies, and Fisk mourns the death of his wife, Daredevil: Born Again finally gets around to bringing back Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) who survives an attack in her home from CIA black-ops and helps Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) make an explosive statement by hitting the smuggled weapons cache from the Northern Star. “Requiem” also brings the Kingpin and Daredevil face-to-face as Matt attempts to reason with the Mayor only for the two to come to blows ending an a stalemate with Fisk unable to kill Daredevil and Matt, haunted by memories of Foggy‘s (Elden Henson) forgiving nature, unwilling to kill the cancer at the center of the city.
A fan-friendly episode, with thankfully less filler than some of the episodes from earlier this season, giving us both Jessica in action (before she disappears again) and the slugfest between our hero and villain, “Requiem” certainly provides some highlights while also acting as the tipping point following the flashback-heavy “The Grand Design” reminding us how these characters got here, who they are (or at least were), and filling in a bit of the backstory for Buck (Arty Froushan). The tension between Matt and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) from Matt choosing to save Bullseye (Wilson Bethel), and not consider more permanent solutions to their Fisk problem, continue here, however, by the end of the episode Karen has an entirely new set of problems to deal with.
