Director: Michael Cuesta  Writer: Jill Blankenship Air Date: March 11, 2025 Summary: In Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Episode 3, “The Hollow of the Hand,” Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) defends Hector Ayala (Kamar de los Reyes), the vigilante White Tiger, accused of murdering a police officer, in a trial that exposes deep-seated corruption within the NYPD and Mayor Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) administration. As Officer Powell attempts to frame Matt for interfering with police matters, a key witness, Nicky Torres, is pressured into recanting testimony about police misconduct. In a bold courtroom strategy, Matt reveals Hector’s identity as White Tiger, shifting jury perception when officers acknowledge his past aid to law enforcement. Though Hector is acquitted, his post-trial assassination by a gunman wearing a Punisher skull emblem hints at a broader conspiracy. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Fisk and his wife, Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer), over their conflicting visions for controlling New York’s underworld. Balancing legal drama with intense action, the episode explores themes of justice, corruption, and the high cost of vigilantism, setting the stage for even greater conflicts ahead.
