Hell’s Kitchen stirs with fear as news of a serial killer, The Muse, spreads through the city. The killer turns crime scenes into twisted art installations, and their latest "masterpiece" is a mural painted in blood — depicting a devil with horns. Matt Murdock pushes himself to his limits, patrolling the streets at night while juggling daytime trials at Nelson & Murdock. Foggy Nelson pleads with Matt to slow down, but Matt’s guilt over his city’s suffering fuels his obsession. He feels responsible for the chaos left in Fisk’s wake, especially as rumors swirl that the Kingpin is still pulling strings from prison.
Karen Page uncovers evidence connecting The Muse’s victims to a corrupt real estate developer buying out struggling local businesses. She shares her findings with Matt, who pieces together a lead — The Muse isn’t just targeting criminals; they’re punishing those profiting off Hell’s Kitchen’s destruction. That night, Daredevil tracks the developer’s bodyguards to an abandoned warehouse, but he’s ambushed by The Muse. Clad in black, with a mask resembling a featureless face, The Muse speaks in riddles, claiming they’re “saving the city through sacrifice.” They fight brutally, the Muse’s unpredictable style pushing Matt to the edge.
In the end, The Muse escapes, leaving behind a wall smeared with a haunting message: “EVERY DEVIL FALLS.”
The episode closes with Matt, battered and bleeding, standing on a rooftop overlooking the city. The weight of his failures bears down, but he tightens his fists. He knows he can’t stop — because Hell’s Kitchen needs a guardian, even if it costs him everything.
The devil always gets back up.
