After the perilous encounter with Wilson Fisk from last episode, the Russians are now excluded from the elite bad guys club. They might not be aware of, or even allow this development, but the volatile Russians are resorting to full blown violence nonetheless. This puts Daredevil and other bystanders in precarious position as Fisk also plays out his grand plan.
For majority of the episode, Murdock is chasing the lead to uncover Fisk's identity. He is gradually getting closer, although the bigger picture still eludes him. The rest of it is divided to two significantly different dates. Foggy and Page take on a case to help a lady who is facing eviction. An unfair large company wishes to buy her apartment and it has tried underhanded tactic to do so. It's quite nice to see them both exchanging banters as they try to resolve the situation, Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll have an intriguing chemistry, more platonic than romantic.
The parts where they deal with more trivial matters make the show more grounded. Dialogues are light and simple, same cannot be said with Fisk who is still trying to woe Vanessa. Ayelet Zurer as the potential love interest of mafia kingpin seems sophisticated. There's a strange attraction between these two characters, it's more somber and heavier than usual attraction although they still have the luxury of making pleasantries.
Fisk has a few insidious tricks, the sort of using harsh means to achieve his ends. He is a controlled and intellectual individual despite sometimes seemingly too timid. It's fascinating to see many contradicting natures for a villain, Fisk might appear to be well-mannered but he's also terribly relentless.
Whether Daredevil, Russians or Fisk who achieve what they want from the night, it seems that the spark will linger.
