Daredevil’s episode 11 cliffhanger makes us glad for Netflix.
Who could wait a week to see what happens next?
But that presents us with a problem.
How do we approach reviews?
The episode opens with Fisk delivering the poisoned Vanessa to hospital.
Shes still unconscious after being poisoned at the benefit, and it doesnt look good.
Three other men have died after ingesting the same substance.
Fisk thanks Wesley for standing by him through all this.
Not wanting to disturb Fisk, Wesley takes one of Fisks guards gun and leaves without telling them.
He kidnaps Karen and tries to blackmail her.
DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.
Like you would for Mr. Burns if Smithers died.

And Karen!
Handy with a weapon!
You think this is the first time Ive shot someone?
Man, Karens past gets crazier ever time its brought up.
I would not want to be her when the Kingpin finds out about this.
Although given that Wesley didnt tell anyone where he was going… will they?
Well, Im guessing the end of this season might show us why thats not exactly the case.
Now, what about the rest of the episode?
That said, I think Fisk is jumping to a conclusion in thinking he was the target.
So Fisk lied about his past.
Shes got nothing on Fisk thatll get him arrested, and thats all that matters at this point.
This kind of story could actually work to his advantage.
All its going to do is make him angrier.
The Matt & Foggy split is being handled really well, too.
Those guys fall out a lot in the comics, but its never permanent.
Im surprised Marci came back into it, though.
Foggy sure got over Karen fast.
And I guess that was Matt and Claire getting the closure they were denied last episode.
I really hope Claire turns up in the other Netflix shows.
Shes exactly the sort of character who can and should cross over into other properties.
At this point in the series it feels like the Easter Eggs are thinning out a bit.
(Er, malpractice much?)
A cliffhanger like that makes me glad for Netflix.
A weeks wait between this and the next episode?
Id never have made it.
