Full spoilers follow for <\/strong>Daredevil: Born Again<\/strong><\/u> Season 2, Episode 6, “Requiem,” which is streaming on Disney+ now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THERE SHE IS! It took more episodes than one might assume or hope, based on her presence in the trailers, but Krysten Ritter is finally back as Jessica Jones, and it is indeed a pleasure to see her. And hey, just like in the comics, she has a kid and it\u2019s made pretty clear Luke Cage is the father (though his name isn\u2019t said in this episode)!<\/p>\n

Ritter fits right back into Jessica\u2019s leather jacket and her trademark attitude, and it was really good to see her and Matt together again – especially given the promise of The Defenders<\/u> was never paid off properly, considering how that show turned out<\/u>. And their big fight scene together in that warehouse against the AVTF was a lot of fun, wisely often focusing on Jessica to give her return its due, but also allowing for some clever moments where you can see Daredevil swinging by and fighting guys in the background.<\/p>\n

\u2026although it also kind of felt like Luke was being thrown under the bus? From how Jessica described it, Mr. Charles came looking for superpowered people to work for him and she turned him down. But Luke apparently said yes, and is off doing sketchy CIA black ops missions while Jessica raises their kid? Obviously there\u2019s plenty of room to fill in some blanks here and explain Luke\u2019s side of things, but for now, it felt weird (and like Matt should be asking for the specifics we\u2019re wondering).<\/p>\n

It was a great choice to see Matt and Karen really face off about his refusal to kill, whether it be Bullseye or Fisk. If you\u2019re going to go down this road with Matt saving Bullseye, the past can\u2019t be ignored, and this scene expertly laid all the cards on the table, from Karen bringing up that even before he killed Foggy, he killed someone else Matt loved (Father Lantam back in Daredevil Season 3<\/u>), to acknowledging Karen herself had once told Matt not to kill Fisk. And I\u2019m sure some viewers will side with Karen here, because she\u2019s making some coldhearted yet technically true points, just like the longtime fan debate about all the lives that could be saved if Batman just killed the Joker. But it also feels appropriate and staying true to its lead character for Born Again to underline that this is simply a line Matt cannot morally cross, and that the one time he actually tried to, with Bullseye, has weighed too heavily on him to ever do so again.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s definitely some frustrating aspects with the situation with Daniel and the info BB is getting from him. I guess she did <\/em>immediately leak the news about Vanessa last week, because we saw she was going to do so again with the fake intel from Daniel about Fisk not running for reelection. But though Daniel is clearly crushing on her, it\u2019s hard to believe he\u2019d be stupid enough to literally risk his own life still telling her anything significant long before this, given who he works for – and also not believable that she would feel bold enough to so clearly be revealing info he gave her in this manner if she ever wanted to keep a contact. And yet all that aside, the material is well played by Michael Gandolfini and Genneya Walton, as he tries to keep her safe, even as he knows how much trouble they\u2019re both in.<\/p>\n

The intercurring between the situation on the streets and the confrontation between Matt and Fisk is undeniably intense.\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Though Angela had some quick lines about the vigil at City Hall being a rallying point, it still felt somewhat dramatically unearned to have that gathering be as huge as it was in the end. It felt like we skipped past one last inciting incident \u2013 one more line crossed by the AVTF onscreen \u2013 to get to this point, and it didn\u2019t help that Soledad and Angela have felt pretty one-note as our major representatives of the people on the street facing the AVTF’s wrath.<\/p>\n

And yet all that said, the intercurring between this situation on the streets and the confrontation between Matt and Fisk is undeniably intense, with the Matt and Fisk showdown given some great exchanges, powered by all that transpired between them. Matt took some hail mary swings here, including suggesting he and Fisk both leave New York for the city\u2019s own good, even as he somberly asked Fisk to ponder if they hadn\u2019t met, pointing out Foggy and Vanessa would both be alive (yes, it\u2019s funny that it\u2019s Dex who actually killed both of those people, but inarguably it\u2019s Fisk who set this into motion by bringing him into their lives to use against Daredevil in the first place).<\/p>\n

It turns out Fisk has crossed a line he shouldn\u2019t by betraying Charles, and the CIA by extension, with Charles going straight to the governor to get her to pull all support. Of course, Fisk angered Charles by taking all of his military ordinance, which would be a compelling and scary thought for the season\u2019s end game since he intended to give it to the AVTF, though Matt and Jessica blew up that warehouse. But did they get everything<\/em> significant?<\/p>\n
