GoKawiilEpisode eight of Daredevil: Born Again wrapped up season 2 on Tuesday on Disney Plus, giving us one of Marvel's deadliest TV episodes to date. If you thought Kingpin/Fisk couldn't get any more depraved, you thought wrong.
Tuesday's season finale brought closure while unlocking a potentially interesting future for the series and the MCU. Unfolding as a violent, politically-charged storyline mirroring real-world events, this entire eight-episode run turned just about everyone into a fighter of some kind. It also reintroduced plenty of familiar faces (and voices) like Jessica Jones, Brett Mahoney and others.
Throughout the show, Matt leaned on his faith, questioning his own conscience, and delving into morality and justice through conversations with Karen, Jessica or even Dex. Heading into the finale, Daredevil's nursing a gunshot wound in his leg, Karen's deep into her trial, Jessica wants to help and Fisk is more desperate than ever.
Let's get into the biggest moments from the finale's ending and how these threads may connect for season 3 and the larger MCU.

We meet Danielle for the first time in this season of Daredevil: Born Again, and it's clear she hasn't seen her father in a long time.
Because there was a short conversation in episode 7 between Charles and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) that hinted at a blast from the past, where Charles said he was the only one who could connect her to him. Him being Luke (played by Mike Colter). All she -- and we – learned in the penultimate episode was that he's been working overseas.
