Send us a text The gang returns for a loaded recap of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 8—and it’s all because the script demands it. We break down the logic gaps stacking like IKEA chairs, Vanessa’s full-blown villain arc, and Bullseye’s prison escape that makes zero damn sense. Matt’s spiraling, Heather’s losing the plot (literally), and Fisk might just be the least terrifying Kingpin to ever wear white. Oh! And don’t worry, we remembered the giant tooth. #DaredevilBornAgain #DaredevilRecap #marve...
