Watch daredevil season 1 episode 9
“Revelations” isn’t really about the revelations themselves, but how the various characters deal with them now that they’re out in the open. (Hopefully not at any kittens.) And now that Nadeem is ripe for blackmail, we also get to enjoy smug Dex calling him “partner” and making him ring Matt with made-up tips, which I suppose was the logical next step for him after concluding the previous episode in Fisk’s bear-like embrace.

Speaking of things that aren’t exactly nuanced, Dex turns up at the Nadeem family home in the traditional “bad guy lets the good guy know what time it is” fashion, complimenting his wife, Seema (Sunita Deshpande), on her cooking, and showing his son how to throw a curveball. Not really, of course – it’s another delusion, similar to how Fisk regularly appears to him, and it’s nice to see that Matt’s wavering psyche isn’t being neglected as the season progresses, even if having him chat with figments of his imagination isn’t the most nuanced way of exploring it.
Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) is sensibly going on the run after revealing to Fisk that she killed his “BFF”, and so, in a sense, is Matt, who returns to the old gym where his father used to train, only to be greeted by him personally. This was what we sometimes refer to in the business as “one hell of a f*****g opening.” This backfires considerably, with Hattley executing Winn, framing Nadeem for the murder, and informing him that she is no longer his boss – Wilson Fisk is. Meanwhile, Special Agent Ray Nadeem (Jay Ali) visits the home of Special Agent in Charge Tammy Hattley (Kate Udall), along with Agent Winn (Andrew Sensenig), to reveal his suspicions about Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Agent Pointdexter (Wilson Bethel). Nobody comments on the rather obvious age difference between young Maggie and not-so-young Jack, so neither will I. Matt is understandably pissed off, and flashbacks to a young Maggie meeting and becoming pregnant by his father do nothing to assuage his fury at having been lied to his whole life – even when, as he says, he thought himself to be alone in the world following his father’s death.
