And the plot thickens.

Matt has fully gone down the rabbit whole. With each step Murdock gets close to Fisks circle of mafiosos. In the outer ring are the Russians, the first casualty in Fisk plan to change the city.

Meanwhile, Foggy and Karen work to help the people of Hell's Kitchen against a corrupt landlord. The episodes going into issues of croprate greed, using the law to disenfranchise the poor, along with cleaning up the city as an excuse for gentrification and pushing out poor minorities from their communities.

The most surprising moment was when Vanessa, having revealed that she knows Fisk is a dangerous man, accepts and supports his vision of cleaning up the city and wanting what is best for the people, even if it means destroying (blowing up) the parts of the city he deems rotten, no matter the collateral cost. Vanessa is not some innocent woman who is shocked by the dangers of her potential lover, but rather a woman who admires Fisk's determination, candor and vision of the future.

On the romantic end, Karen shows obvious interest in Matt, though Foggy reveals he "doesn't really date", nobody lasting longer than a month. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Claire have started what appears to be a sexual relationship, though they don't agree on Matt's after dark activities. This could turn into a love square: Foggy shows interest in Karen, Karen shows interests in Matt, who also kinda flirts back, while he is having a physical relationship with Claire, who he trusts enough to keep telling her about his investigations into Wilson Fisk, along with seeking her out when he is injured.
