Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Fisk takes Vanessa Marianna on a date, she describes a prince she dated once before, saying he wore a white suit and an ascot, to which Fisk replies: "Ascot? That's a bit much." This is a hint at the classic Kingpin look of the comics, where he often is depicted wearing exactly such an outfit.
- GoofsIn the restaurant, Vanessa tells Fisk she has a .22 caliber gun in her purse but when she lays it on the table it is obviously a .380 as evidenced by the barrel size.
- Quotes
Claire Temple: How do you... I mean, I know that you're blind, but you see so much. How?
Matt Murdock: I guess you have to think of it as more than just five senses. I can't see, not like everyone else, but I can feel. Things like balance and direction. Micro-changes in air density, vibrations, blankets of temperature variations. Mix all that with what I hear, subtle smells. All of the fragments form a sort of... impressionistic painting.
Claire Temple: Ok, but what does that look like? Like what do you actually see?
Matt Murdock: A world on fire.

Let's not forget that Oliver Queen was arrested for being the Arrow in season 1 and he got out of it, of course different events have occurred in season 3, but I'm sure Matt can get out of this one. Considering he's a lawyer will definitely help. This show is also taking the approach of getting the people against our hero. He was framed once in this episode, and he was then seen by police beating the crap out of someone. Things aren't boding too well for the man without fear. Fisk is becoming more of a presence after his cruel entrance. I really like how nonchalant these criminals act in situations that are not normal at all. It gives us a sense at just how despicable Hell's Kitchen really is. Apparently the one thing with Fisk you don't mess with, is his love life. Vanessa, played by Ayelet Zurer, is the one person who seems to understand Fisk in a way no other person really does. Or at least she's becoming really fascinated with him. And 3 episodes in I have finally realized that Zurer also played Superman's birth mom in Man of Steel.
This week also saw Foggy and Karen go on a date. I still feel like we need more scenes of all of them together. Plus, I'm not a huge Foggy fan so the time spent with him seems wasted at this point. But I will say hearing Karen ask Foggy to touch her face with his eyes closed so that she realizes what a blind man feels, gives me the feeling of jealousy. I can definitely see Foggy and Matt's relationship going down that path very soon. But with Matt and Claire's relationship growing, I don't know if Matt will be interested at all in Karen.
