SHIELD: Case Files: Daredevil Born Again #102 "Optics"

After a dramatic assassination attempt on Fisk, Murdock lies in the hospital. But the Mayor is going to take full advantage of this event by blacking out the city and hunting vigilantes. That includes Murdock. Luckily, our hero gets a surprise visit from two good friends. Frank and Karen show up to give him a hand. But is it too late to stop Fisk's rise to power? Jay and Josh resist, rebel, and rebuild on SHIELD: Case Files.

Benjamin Pondexter is not feeling safe in prison. He contacts the least likely person to help him; Matt Murdock. Murdock isn't so keen to jump at the chance and swears that he and Fisk are somehow connected. It's bothering him so much that it's affecting his relationship with Heather. When the couple gets invited to Fisk's fundraising ball, a confrontation seems inevitable. But who is going to get the upper hand? Jay and Josh are told not to wear purple socks with their tuxedo on SHIELD: Case Files.

Mayor Fisk is none too happy that Daredevil has returned. He sends his task force to stop Muse before Daredevil is seen as the hero. It turns out that Matt's girlfriend Heather is Muse's therapist. And when she discovers the truth about him during a session, it could spell the end for her. Can Daredevil get there in time, or will Fisk's task force save the day? (or take the credit?) Jay and Josh enjoy some Sole Meunière on SHIELD: Case Files.

Muse's deadly deeds have finally been discovered. When the police finally realize that he's been killing his victims to create his murals, Fisk puts together a dark task force of crooked cops to stop him and other vigilantes. Could this be the final straw that pushes Fisk back into his King Pin ways? Matt gets a visit from Angela Ayala who tells him that her uncle was on the trail of this same serial killer and wants Matt's help. He tells her no at first, but in the end something will force him to don the horns once more. Jay and Josh were going to create some art, but…you know….not anymore on SHIELD: Case Files.

Matt thought he was just going to go to the bank to see if they'd give him a loan. But when Luca's Irish mobsters seize the bank, Matt has to work with the assistant bank manager Yusuf Khan in hopes of stopping them. Luckily our hero is a very good lawyer and uses his cunning verbal skills (and a little bone adjustment) to try to save the day. Jay and Josh try desperately to think of a joke in time on SHIELD: Case Files.

Can Wilson Fisk be a good mayor for New York? Can Matt Murdock be the best lawyer and help the little guy? The answers to both of these questions may not be what either wants as they continue to be tempted towards their old ways. And maybe it's exactly what the city needs. Jay and Josh share some Fiddle Faddle on SHIELD: Case Files.

Only Matt Murdock could defend an innocent man who the entire city of New York thinks is guilty. As the trial begins our hero's main defense falls to shambles. So with his team's help, Matt is going to have to convince the jury that Hector Ayala is truly innocent. But even if he achieves the impossible, can Hector truly be free? Jay and Josh whistle a little tune on SHIELD: Case Files.

Now that Wilson Fisk is the Mayor of New York, he's going to clean up the streets. Starting with the holes. He seems to be winning over everyone except the Police Commissioner and Matt Murdock. But Matt has his hands full as he takes on the murder case of the wrongfully accused Hector Ayala, who was accidently involved in the death of a crooked cop. Jay and Josh enjoy some delicious Philly cheesesteaks on SHIELD: Case Files.

Matt Murdock goes down a dark road after his best friend is murdered by Bullseye. Hanging up the horns, he begins a new chapter of his life without his darker persona. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk has returned and wants to be the new Mayor of New York. After some awkward reconnections with Vanessa and Murdock, he fools the people of New York into thinking he's the right choice. Will Daredevil be born again? "Of course, it's only the premiere!" say Jay and Josh on SHIELD: Case Files.

Agatha is dead, but not gone. Billy begins to realize where the road came from right about the time Agatha's ghost appears. She is not ready to move on, but is Billy willing to let her stay? And we learn about the dark past of this mysterious witch and why Nicholas Scratch was the key to it all. Jay and Josh are completely transparent for the final episode of Agatha's story on SHIELD: Case Files.
