Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Fisk analyzes Dex’s past while looking for a scapegoat to take the public’s eye off of him. Meanwhile, Ray questions Foggy and Karen about their involvement with CGI and Wesley’s disappearance.
Our Take
This is a slow-burn hour that puts Wilson Fisk front and center, and Vincent D’Onofrio makes the manipulation genuinely unsettling to watch. Dex’s backstory adds some weight, though it leans on familiar “troubled kid” territory. Not much action, but the psychological chess game earns the patience it asks for.
