Daredevil: Born Again Episode 7 Ending Explained- one Death, one Betrayal, and many fake Heroes 

Daredevil: Born Again Episode 7 is here, and it continues the story from where we left off. In the last episode, Matt suited up as Daredevil again and took on Muse. In this one, we finally see Muse unmasked. However, the most interesting and shocking development happens during the Wilson Fisk plotline. 

It looks like someone really close to him has betrayed him. In this article, we will talk about the major incidents that happened in episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again and try to deconstruct them. 

Did Vanessa Betray Wilson Fisk?

Daredevil: Born Again has played more with Ayelet Zurer's Vanessa than the Netflix show ever did. In the previous episode we witnessed Vanessa’s unhappiness ever since Wilson Fisk returned and decided to become a Mayor. Her affair was also a major indication that things weren’t right in their relationship. 

In episode 7, Luca, a member of New York City's criminal underworld, is shown to be unhappy with Fisk’s recent decisions. He even planned the bank robbery to get the money Viktor needed as restitution for his failed dealings.

Luca tells Vanessa that things were better when she was in charge of the criminal empire. He clearly wants to kill Fisk, and Vanessa tells him when he will find him alone. However, once he gets there, Buck kills him. It’s possible that Vanessa had no idea that Buck would be there protecting Fisk. This would mean that she had legitimately betrayed her husband. 

However, it’s also possible that Vanessa informed Fisk about Luca’s intentions and he got Buck on standby to protect him. We think it’s the latter. Vanessa betraying Fisk would be an interesting plotline, but we don’t think she is doing that just yet. 

Muse and his Death 

We now finally know that Wednesday's Hunter Doohan is Muse/ Bastian Cooper. In Daredevil: Born Again episode 7, it is revealed that Muse is fixated on Heather because reading her thoughts helped fuel his creativity which resulted in the Blood paintings.

At the end of their encounter, Heather is able to escape while Daredevil deals with Muse. Heather initially says that anyone who wears a mask is a coward. It will be interesting to see how the show expands upon this.  

Wilson Fisk’s Anti-Vigilante Task Force Takes the Credit

Daredevil was the one who saved Heather and fought Muse. Also, Heather ultimately shot and killed the villain. However, Wilson Fisk's Anti-Vigilante Task Force took the credit for killing Muse. While Fisk’s team was investigating the blood painter, Daredevil was also doing the same. 

However, Matt acted faster. Yet, the Task Force took pictures with Muse’s dead body, which means that they will now be in the good graces of the citizens. It will now be difficult to prove that Matt was the hero in this scene. 

What’s Next?

The biggest question right now is about Vanessa’s intentions- Did she actually betray Fisk or help him get Luca? Also, will the Task Force be exposed for stealing credit for Daredevil’s work? What about Muse- is he really dead? As season 1 develops, it will be interesting to see how the show will handle the major characters and their plotlines.
