Episode 5

Yusuf Khan (AKA The Father Of Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel) Makes A Cameo

Mohan Kapur reprises his role as Yusuf Khan in a fun cameo. He even mentions that his daughter, Kamala, is in California visiting some friends.

He also mentions Ms. Marvel as the hero of New Jersey City, as well as showing an in-universe Funko of her.

Matt is meeting Mr. Khan to ask for a bank loan.

The whole episode basically takes place inside the bank as Matt foils the armed robbery attempt of an Irish gang.

Episode 6

Return Of The Swordsman

During a news report, we see a civilian recording the actions of a vigilante he refers to as the Swordsman.

This might be Jack Duquesne, who we last saw helping Hawkeye and Kate Bishop at the end of 2021’s Hawkeye. This is because it was previously already confirmed that Tony Dalton would be reprising his role in Daredevil Born Again.

Angela Suspects Her Uncle Of Dying Because Of What He Was Investigating Before His Death

What was Hector working on? Was he investigating Muse or the other gangs? There’s a lot we still don’t know.

It’s Revealed That Muse Is Using Human Blood From His Victims To Make Murals All Over The City

He’s apparently already murdered over 60 victims.

Tony Dalton Reprises His Role As Jack Duquesne

He’s one of the rich benefactors that Wilson Fisk is trying to get to fund his Red Hook port project.

Detective Cole North Makes His MCU Debut

Wilson Fisk recruits him as part of his Anti-Vigilante task force hunting Muse.

He’s played by actor Jeremy Earl.

In the comics, Cole North was a detective assigned to a case involving a homicide committed by Daredevil. He fought against Daredevil for a bit but then eventually became his ally.

Matt Finally Suits Up Again To Save Angela From Muse

Daredevil defeats Muse and saves Angela but Muse manages to escape.

Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk goes back to his old ways by beating Adam (the guy that his wife had an affair with) to death.

Until next week, excelsior!
