The revelation that Elektra was a Skrull imposter fractures Matt Murdock's psyche. Tormented by the memory of their physical and emotional intimacy, Matt abandons his vigilante mantle to bury himself in his civilian identity. He spends the season lost and confused, his heightened senses constantly picking up rumors about the brewing alien infiltration. These cryptic whispers push his paranoia to the limit. Meanwhile, a new serial killer knows as Muse begins painting Hell's Kitchen in blood. Flashbacks expose Muse's disturbing backstory, showing how he was manipulated from a young age to embrace his violent, artistic impulses, viewing human flesh as a canvas. As Muse's body count escalates, Matt realizes that ignoring his calling is destroying the very neighborhood he swore to protect. In a tense sequence, Matt finally pulls his classic red suit from hiding. Zipping up the armor and sliding the mask over his face, he feels a sense of alienation, yet he accepts that it is exactly what he must do. Reborn, Daredevil tracks the serial killer to his gallery. A brutal, exhausting, hand-to-hand duel erupts. Muse proves to be a fluid and adaptive combatant, matching Daredevil's elite martial arts blow for blow. The prolonged war of attrition ends in a stalemate, with an injured Muse narrowly escaping into the city. The season concludes with Matt standing over the New York skyline, full accepting that being Daredevil is his permanent, inescapable curse. He commits to defending Hell's Kitchen, but realizes his blind rage won't solve the larger threat. Merging his two worlds, Matt packs his briefcase. He decides to use his elite legal mind and investigative acumen to offer his services to SHIELD, vowing to crack the "green shapeshifter mess" from the inside out. We cut to black.
