Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Fisk moves forward with plans that threaten to rip Hell’s Kitchen apart. Murdock and Foggy take on a case helping tenants victimized by a slumlord.
Our Take
A quieter, more procedural hour that spends a lot of time on the tenant case, and honestly Foggy gets some of his best material out of it. The courtroom stuff works, but the episode drags a bit whenever Fisk and his machinations take over. Still, the blind-vision effects give it a distinct feel. Worth watching, just not the season’s peak.
