Daredevil Born Again Episode 1 Synopsis
Directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead
Written by Dario Scardapane
The Avocados at Law, Nelson, Murdock and Page head out for a celebratory night at Josie’s bar as one of their police contacts, Cherry, is retiring. While there Foggy gets a call from a client he has stashed at his apartment. He believes he’s under attack. While Matt suits up as Daredevil to help the client, Bullseye, an enemy from their past, assassinates Foggy and begins to open fire on Josie’s bar.
Daredevil quickly returns to the bar to tackle Bullseye, while Karen is unable to save Foggy. As Daredevil hears Foggy’s heart stop, and in the pain of Matt’s loss, he throws Bullseye from the top of the building attempting to kill him.
One year later Matt is now working in his new law firm with up and coming lawyer Kristen McDuffy. He gives a victim impact statement at the sentencing for Bullseye as Karen Page returns to town. With Bullseye convicted for 17 life sentences for murder the system has worked. But Karen isn’t willing to stay with Matt after her loss.
Meanwhile Wilson Fisk returns from his time in Tamaha, Oklahoma. While he has been away his wife Vanessa has been running his nefarious businesses. All connections to the Kingpin have been removed allowing Wilson to run for Mayor of New York city.
When former police officer Cherry fails to find any dirt on Fisk, Matt sits down face to face with him. They warn each other off returning to their former lives of crime boss and vigilante.
As Matt goes on a date with therapist Heather Glenn he hears the news that Wilson Fisk has become Mayor of New York and a lone graffiti artist paints a mural of Kingpin on a wall in Hell’s Kitchen.
