With theMuse archaving do and gone disappointingly quick , Daredevil : Born Againcan go back to what it ’s best at . Our next-to-last episode , “ Isle of Joy , ” is a much more confident outing than last week , and it does n’t wound that it father its main players in a single location for an impressive last .

The way things go throughout the episode , Matt and Heather ’s human relationship sure has an impending passing date , huh ? Killing Muse has further affirmed her anti - vigilante posture , and to make matter worse , Matt learns Fisk is her secret node when they ’re ask in to the inaugural ball later on that nighttime . His secrecy really comes to bite him in the atomic number 33 here , since he can only vaguely allude to Fisk being bad news without pass up their whole chronicle , so he just comes off scarily paranoid in his lady friend ’s eyes . His morning gets even forged when he ’s summoned to jail by Poindexter , who opens the episode being moved out of protective custody and into a moderately packed world-wide universe section that knows he used to be FBI .

beforehand of the night ’s festivities , thing are going well for Fisk .

The Poindexter news gets two things done . First , it brings Matt back to Josie ’s , which we have n’t seen since the opening minutes ofBorn Again ’s premiere . ( Nice to have her and the legal profession back , even concisely . ) Next , he learns Foggy spend his last Nox keep a succeeding face , which is enough to make him go see Dex . Just two solar day in genpop has him ready to cut a deal with Matt so he can get out in telephone exchange for flipping on whoever employ him to stamp out Foggy . Matt ’s response ? Smash Dex ’s face into the table , the maybe the least atrocious way he could ’ve offend Dex . But Matt letting off some steam has upshot : next time we see Dex , he spit out a tooth into a guard ’s eye and takes a uniform to hitch a coach ride into the city .

Dex will have to wait , though , because it ’s party time . It ’s a nice shindy to the general world , but the walls are closing in around the gist mold . pocket-sized aside , like BB revealing she ’s sticking around Fisk to get evidence he murdered her uncle Ben , and Sheila feeling increasingly pushed out of the mayor ’s inner works , are just the commencement of an increasingly hostile Nox . ( Our brief check - in with the task effect has Powell stick a diarist ’s script in a pullet , surrounded by his boys as he smugly gloats to police commissioner Gallo about how untouchable they ’ve become . ) Guests get together Fisk for a private conversation get out looking rattled or defeated on account of him threatening them – like say , siccing the undertaking effect onto Jack , who he get laid is the Swordsman – into backing his Red Hook projection . With Jack and other elites close down so easy , he ’s close to achieving his finish .

Only two disjoined , but equally troublesome obstacles remain before Fisk can call it a win . Matt ca n’t pertain him in public , but by suddenly drive Vanessa for a terpsichore , he gives Fisk a perfect window of opportunity . While their respective partners are aside , Fick does n’t outright secernate Heather that Matt is temerarious , but enough breadcrumb are provided to put some extra strain on a family relationship that ’s been moderately fraught the last few weeks . Meanwhile , Matt confronts Vanessa with what he knows : she hired Poindexter to down Foggy , which she be after to say Fisk before Matt swept her off her feet .

Most of his scenery in the installment show him doused in a downcast filter signify he ’s becoming Bullseye again , a rebirth that ’s fill in by instalment ’s end . With a police rifle in helping hand , he takes aim to shoot Fisk , only for Matt to throw himself in front of the slug . As Florida Mass Choir ’s “ Storm Cloud Rising ” plays , the party descends into bedlam while Matt bleeds out on the storey and he ’s illuminated in consummate Marxist .
