Heather meets with a new client, Bastian Cooper, whom we first saw a few episodes ago and whom many fans figured was Muse.

However, Heather shoots Muse dead on the spot.
The police secure the crime scene and tell Fisk that Daredevil was on the scene. However, Fisk tells him to file the report saying that only Heather and Muse were present, thus making his task force the heroes.
In the final scenes, Vanessa texts Luca that Fisk is at a diner alone. Luca goes to assassinate him but is shot dead by Buck as Fisk enjoys a meal.
MAJOR QUESTIONS
- Really? That’s it for Muse?
- What will Vanessa think when she figures out Matt is Daredevil
- Are Fisk and Vanessa on the same page again?
OVERALL GRADE: C
This episode was odd. It was surprising to see Muse killed off so quickly. I actually thought for a minute that this might have been the season finale or some sort of April Fool’s joke because they killed off the serial killer. Not only that, but they implied that Fisk and Vanessa were back together. If there is one criticism of this show that has merit, it’s how few characters there are who feel important outside of Matt and Fisk. Especially with Muse, whose entire backstory is explained in dialogue just in this episode.
