Daredevil - The Hollow of His Hand
With looming dread, "The Hollow of His Hand" focuses on the trial of Hector Ayala (Kamar de los Reyes) which takes a turn after Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) loses his star witness and chooses to out Hector's role as a vigilante gaining support from the jury for Hector's service. Although Matt gets a win, and Hector goes free, at no point in the episode did it feel like Hector was destined for a happy ending. Whether he had been shanked in prison, attacked outside the courthouse, or unceremoniously killed in the street (which is what ends up happening), this was always going to end poorly for Hector.
In terms of other threads, the cops Matt beat up apparently don't hold grudges (or think the mad ninja skills of a blind lawyer are odd in the slightest). The new mayor, disgruntled at the defeat in court, moves forward with his plans to outlaw vigilantes. Also, we keep getting small Punisher references (ending in a big one) which oddly suggest Frank Castle has got himself some kind of cult and, for reasons surpassing all understanding, is working for Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio)? It's growing increasingly unclear how these pieces are supposed to fit together.
