Oh dear. Well, that was a thing. I think this was probably the best episode of the run so far, but where the hell do you go next week after that?!
Let's start small. Wilson Bethel is a delight as Bullseye. He makes the most of very little screen time.
The Fisk marital drama appears to be resolved here. He shows Vanessa he's both still the Kingpin at heart, and that he's kept his promise. Watching Wilson essentially beg Vanessa to kill Adam because he can't stand what Adam represents, but Vanessa has forbidden the man's murder, was painful. Unsurprisingly, she puts Adam out of his misery. This is such a twisted, yet genuine couple.
I'm less invested in Matt and Heather. Their scenes were excellent, but they are so clearly not on the same page where some pretty key points are concerned that it's hard for me to really buy in to their relationship. Still, this was the best use of the Heather character thus far, in terms of her time with Matt rather than the Fisks.
Between this potential sense of resentment and Wilson's own inevitable sense of resentment upon learning Vanessa's decision to order Foggy's death behind his back, I cannot wait to see how the reopened rift will explode between them.
As clearly documented in my earlier posts on this subject, the fallout between the Fisks over this reveal was something I thought would divide them. I no longer do. There may very well be chickens still coming home to roost on that front next week, but...
"If I cannot be with you, I cannot be." Says Wilson. Right before Matt has a reason to go HARD at Vanessa.
No, the Foggy reveal isn't going to divide the Fisks. It's going to sharpen Wilson's resolve. Daredevil is now a massive threat to his wife. Matt may have just taken a bullet for him, very publicly. But Wilson Fisk is going to absolutely DESTROY Matt Murdock. And that leaves just one card left to be played.
As my post began, oh dear. Matt's secret ID? Not going to be secret for much longer, I fear.
