After being seriously injured when a building collapses on him while fighting as the vigilante "Daredevil", Matt Murdock washes out of the New York City sewer system. A taxi driver finds Matt and gets him to Father Paul Lantom, who entrusts Matt to the care of Sister Maggie at the Saint Agnes Orphanage, where Matt was raised. As he slowly recovers, Matt has a crisis of faith and decides that he would rather continue fighting as Daredevil than return to his civilian life, after which he begins training to fight again. Donning his original vigilante gear, he stops a kidnapping one night and is badly beaten. Matt's friends, Karen Page (now a reporter for the New York Bulletin) and Foggy Nelson, start to lose hope that he may still be alive. In prison, criminal Wilson Fisk decides to make a deal with the FBI to protect his love Vanessa Marianna, who can be charged as an accessory to his crimes. The case is assigned to Special Agent Rahul "Ray" Nadeem, who is struggling with being unable to receive a promotion due to financial troubles after he paid for his sister-in-law's cancer treatment.

Fisk is saved by Special Agent Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, who has incredibly accurate shooting skills and executes some of the attackers even after they surrender. Matt tracks down the attempted kidnappers and beats them, leaving them to be arrested. Karen is assigned to report on the attempted kidnapping, which involved the well-known Neda Kazemi; after hearing about the death of Karen's brother Kevin, Neda opens up to Karen about the attack and leads Karen to believe that Matt is still alive, but Foggy, who is considering leaving the law to help his brother Theo run the family business, is skeptical of this.

When Fisk learns that Matt survived the submerged taxi, he tells the FBI that he has a criminal fixer named Matt Murdock. Karen confronts Fisk's actual fixer, Manning, but he threatens her with his knowledge of her family, including her brother's death. Nadeem questions both Karen and Foggy about Matt, and both try to direct him towards Fisk and his crimes. Fisk reviews a file from Manning on Dex and learns that he used his skillful aim to kill his baseball coach as a child. He was taught to be more empathetic through therapy as he grew up, but he feigned this to conceal his psychopathic tendencies. In one incident when he worked for a suicide prevention hotline, he encouraged a caller to kill someone else rather than himself. It was there that he met and fell in love with Julie, whom he now finds working at the hotel. He accidentally reveals to her that he has been stalking her. Fisk sees the potential for Dex to become the new villain that the public can focus on in order to misdirect attention from himself. Karen reveals to Foggy that she killed James Wesley.

Foggy assures Karen that she is still a good person after killing Wesley in self-defense. Dex confronts Fisk, who confirms that he was behind Julie's hiring at the hotel and that he had intended to show Dex that life with Julie was not going to work since she would never understand Dex like Fisk does, in light of his own boyhood murder of his father. Matt visits Karen to ask for her help in finding Evans and offers to testify against Fisk. Foggy arranges a meeting between a newly promoted Nadeem and Karen at the New York Bulletin, where she will interview Evans about Fisk's plans. In exchange for Nadeem considering Evans' testimony, Matt agrees to turn himself in to the FBI in order to clear his name. Distraught over Julie, Dex considers committing suicide but is interrupted by Fisk, who proposes an alternative. Dex instead goes to the New York Bulletin dressed as Daredevil, fights off Matt, and kills Evans before he can talk. Dex is then confronted by the FBI, including Nadeem, and dispatches the agents before escaping, leading the FBI to believe that Daredevil assaulted them.

Fisk is reunited with Vanessa, who convinces Fisk to let her into the criminal side of his life. Without asking Fisk, Dex retrieves the painting from Falb after murdering her and Vanessa notices some of her blood on the frame. Matt agrees to carry out Foggy's plan—working together as lawyers as they once had, they take Nadeem on as a client and arrange with Tower to have Nadeem testify against Fisk in front of a grand jury. Foggy also offers to withdraw from the race for district attorney, and they get Nadeem's family to safety. Meanwhile, Karen calls a press conference to announce what Nadeem is doing so the public is aware given that his testimony would be sealed. Matt and Foggy celebrate after the hearing, with Foggy hinting that he would like to work with Matt once again. However, Fisk controls the jury, and so the hearing has no effect. Nadeem is convinced that Fisk cannot be stopped and returns to his home. Fisk decides it would be better not to kill Nadeem now that he is a public figure, but Vanessa convinces him otherwise. They send Dex, who kills Nadeem.

With Foggy's plan foiled, Matt returns to his own and intends to kill Fisk. He kidnaps and interrogates Manning, learning that Vanessa ordered Nadeem's death and Fisk ordered Julie's. Foggy meets with Nadeem's wife, Seema, to whom he sent a video message that serves as his dying declaration, detailing all of Fisk's crimes and clearing Daredevil's name.

| 27 | 1 | "Resurrection" | Marc Jobst | Erik Oleson | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| After being seriously injured when a building collapses on him while fighting as the vigilante "Daredevil", Matt Murdock washes out of the New York City sewer system. A taxi driver finds Matt and gets him to Father Paul Lantom, who entrusts Matt to the care of Sister Maggie at the Saint Agnes Orphanage, where Matt was raised. As he slowly recovers, Matt has a crisis of faith and decides that he would rather continue fighting as Daredevil than return to his civilian life, after which he begins training to fight again. Donning his original vigilante gear, he stops a kidnapping one night and is badly beaten. Matt's friends, Karen Page (now a reporter for the New York Bulletin) and Foggy Nelson, start to lose hope that he may still be alive. In prison, criminal Wilson Fisk decides to make a deal with the FBI to protect his love Vanessa Marianna, who can be charged as an accessory to his crimes. The case is assigned to Special Agent Rahul "Ray" Nadeem, who is struggling with being unable to receive a promotion due to financial troubles after he paid for his sister-in-law's cancer treatment. | ||||||
| 28 | 2 | "Please" | Lukas Ettlin | Jim Dunn | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Fisk's intel leads to the arrest of the elusive Albanian syndicate's leaders, and Nadeem convinces his superiors to let him continue to work with Fisk despite his financial troubles making him a target for bribery. News of Fisk's cooperation with the FBI spreads fast, and in retaliation he is attacked in prison by a fellow inmate. Nadeem agrees to move Fisk out of prison and into home detention, but their convoy is attacked by the Albanians on the way, and most of the FBI agents are killed. Fisk is saved by Special Agent Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, who has incredibly accurate shooting skills and executes some of the attackers even after they surrender. Matt tracks down the attempted kidnappers and beats them, leaving them to be arrested. Karen is assigned to report on the attempted kidnapping, which involved the well-known Neda Kazemi; after hearing about the death of Karen's brother Kevin, Neda opens up to Karen about the attack and leads Karen to believe that Matt is still alive, but Foggy, who is considering leaving the law to help his brother Theo run the family business, is skeptical of this. | ||||||
| 29 | 3 | "No Good Deed" | Jennifer Getzinger | Sonay Hoffman | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| The FBI house Fisk in the penthouse suite of a hotel they use as a safehouse. News of his release from prison becomes public, prompting protests outside of the hotel and interest from reporters, including Karen, who learns that the hotel had belonged to Neda's father Rostom, who sold it to a company represented by Fisk's lawyer Benjamin Donovan. Foggy goes to District Attorney Blake Tower to offer his help in returning Fisk to prison, but Tower is reluctant to go against the wishes of the FBI, especially since he is running for re-election. Matt investigates the hotel and begins to hallucinate Fisk as a "devil on his shoulder". Matt interrogates Donovan and learns of the situation with Vanessa. He vows to stop Fisk and return him to prison, revealing to Foggy that he is alive but only to warn him and Karen to stay away from Fisk. During a routine psychological evaluation to determine his fitness for duty, Dex talks about the emotional support that he receives from his girlfriend Julie Barnes. However, she later appears to be someone that he is stalking. | ||||||
| 30 | 4 | "Blindsided" | Alex García López | Lewaa Nasserdeen | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Dex's superiors investigate his killing of the two Albanians during the transit attack, which he claims was in self-defense. Despite the fact that Fisk saw him kill them in cold blood, he conceals this by falsely corroborating Dex's rationale to the FBI. Foggy, unhappy with Matt's demands, tells Karen that Matt is alive and then is convinced by his girlfriend Marci Stahl to run for district attorney against Tower in order to ensure that Fisk is brought to justice. Foggy gains the support of the New York Police Department, who view Fisk as a cop killer. Karen continues her investigation and finds that prison convict Felix Manning was involved in the company that bought the hotel in which the FBI is housing Fisk. Matt impersonates Foggy to infiltrate the prison housing Jasper Evans, whom he learns was paid by Fisk to attack Fisk in order to convince the FBI to move him. With the Albanians' help, Matt fights off inmates and guards working for Fisk and escapes the prison but is driven off a dock by an unknown taxi driver. | ||||||

Karen confronts Fisk's actual fixer, Manning, but he threatens her with his knowledge of her family, including her brother's death. Nadeem questions both Karen and Foggy about Matt, and both try to direct him towards Fisk and his crimes. Fisk reviews a file from Manning on Dex and learns that he used his skillful aim to kill his baseball coach as a child. He was taught to be more empathetic through therapy as he grew up, but he feigned this to conceal his psychopathic tendencies. In one incident when he worked for a suicide prevention hotline, he encouraged a caller to kill someone else rather than himself. It was there that he met and fell in love with Julie, whom he now finds working at the hotel. He accidentally reveals to her that he has been stalking her. Fisk sees the potential for Dex to become the new villain that the public can focus on in order to misdirect attention from himself. Karen reveals to Foggy that she killed James Wesley. | ||||||
| 32 | 6 | "The Devil You Know" | Stephen Surjik | Dylan Gallagher | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Foggy assures Karen that she is still a good person after killing Wesley in self-defense. Dex confronts Fisk, who confirms that he was behind Julie's hiring at the hotel and that he had intended to show Dex that life with Julie was not going to work since she would never understand Dex like Fisk does, in light of his own boyhood murder of his father. Matt visits Karen to ask for her help in finding Evans and offers to testify against Fisk. Foggy arranges a meeting between a newly promoted Nadeem and Karen at the New York Bulletin, where she will interview Evans about Fisk's plans. In exchange for Nadeem considering Evans' testimony, Matt agrees to turn himself in to the FBI in order to clear his name. Distraught over Julie, Dex considers committing suicide but is interrupted by Fisk, who proposes an alternative. Dex instead goes to the New York Bulletin dressed as Daredevil, fights off Matt, and kills Evans before he can talk. Dex is then confronted by the FBI, including Nadeem, and dispatches the agents before escaping, leading the FBI to believe that Daredevil assaulted them. | ||||||
| 33 | 7 | "Aftermath" | Toa Fraser | Sarah Streicher | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Daredevil is attacked by the public and media, and Karen is unable to convince Nadeem that this was not the true Daredevil or that Fisk was behind the attack. When she tries to do the same with her boss Mitchell Ellison, he orders her to reveal who Daredevil is or quit. Karen later asks her father Paxton if she could go spend some time at home with him, but he says the timing isn't great. Foggy believes that he has worked out what Fisk is planning. Matt, angry that he put his friends in harm's way and worried about the skill of the pretend Daredevil, visits Melvin Potter, the man who created the Daredevil suit. Potter confirms that Fisk forced him to create a copy of the suit and reveals that the pretender was an FBI agent. Following Fisk's orders, Potter then tries to frame Matt as the Daredevil who attacked the New York Bulletin, but Matt manages to escape the arriving FBI agents. After investigating Evans, Nadeem begins to believe that Fisk is manipulating them but has no proof of this. At home, he is confronted by Matt who explains that the Daredevil attacker was a pretender and an FBI agent. | ||||||
| 34 | 8 | "Upstairs/Downstairs" | Alex Zakrzewski | Dara Resnik | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Nadeem realizes that Dex is the attacker. Dex attempts to reconcile with Julie, believing that he needs her to replace his therapist who died when he was younger. She reluctantly agrees to start talking with him, but Fisk later has her killed. Believing that Julie has abandoned him, Dex continues to mentally deteriorate. Matt and Nadeem break into Dex's apartment but cannot find proof that he was the attacker, only some recordings of his therapy sessions which reveal his psychopathic tendencies. Dex arrives home and catches them, injuring Nadeem but they manage to escape. Foggy thinks that he can prove Fisk is still working as a criminal and that this will get him sent back to prison. He decides to raise these points in a debate with Tower and let Karen write about it, but instead, she goes to confront Fisk. She reveals that she knows he killed his father, and that she had killed Wesley, while accidentally confirming that Matt is Daredevil. Matt later overhears Sister Maggie praying about the fact that she is his mother. | ||||||
| 35 | 9 | "Revelations" | Jennifer Lynch | Erik Oleson & Sam Ernst | October 19, 2018 (2018-10-19) | |
| Matt struggles with the fact that both Maggie and Lantom hid the truth from him, and takes shelter at an abandoned Fogwell's Gym. Manning threatens Foggy's family unless he publicly apologizes for speaking out against Fisk at the debate. Karen decides to run from Fisk, and Maggie offers to help hide her. Nadeem tells his superiors, Special Agent in Charge Tammy Hattley and Supervisory Special Agent Winn, about the FBI conspiracy involving Fisk and Dex. In a turn of events, Hattley kills Winn with Nadeem's gun, revealing that she works for Fisk. She then blackmails him into working for Fisk with help from Manning, and reveals that Fisk was behind the need for Nadeem to help pay for his sister-in-law's treatment. Fisk has Nadeem and Dex arrest several gang leaders across New York and bring them to a restaurant where Fisk offers to protect them from FBI charges in exchange for payment. Fisk coerces Nadeem into luring Matt to the meeting, but Matt knows it is a trap and instead goes to the hotel to wait for Fisk. While there, he overhears FBI agents loyal to Fisk who have discovered that Karen is hiding at Clinton Church. | ||||||
