Jessica runs in finding Trish with a woman dying in her arms and screaming for help. Matt is on top of the neighbouring building observing the police arrive with an ambulance while Frank and Luke try to follow his imposter. He stays there contemplating if he should just surrender to put an end to this. There is not much they can do and within minutes Christine Shaw is gone for good. That leaves Trish to tell the police everything that happened. She explains that the death of the woman was an accident, but he doesn't believe it. Hopefully the police does. She appears to be rather convincing and the woman who attacked them sounds suspiciously like Elekra. Maybe she did hear the radio show as well and realized what was happening. Did she know before going in that it wasn't him in that station? Or was she trying to shut Christine Shaw up as Trish suggests?

He later hears Jessica and Foggy talk to Brett Mahoney who tells them that the security footage shows Elektra fighting Daredevil and him unintentionally shooting at the cupboard. It was a good call to present it like that and killing the woman might have actually been an accident. Still, he shouldn't aim a gun at anyone anyway. Of course, a lot of people did not believe it was all a coincidence. Matt would not either. He understands that it looks bad. After all, the woman who accused him, was just shot by a guy who pretended to be him. He hears the city discuss the incident all at the same time and the initial verdict of the public seems to be that he is guilty.

When Jessica calls him they agree to meet at his place and she arrives shortly after him. She tells him what Trish said had happened after the broadcast stopped. They were probably using her show because she knew him.

"What I don't understand is that the guy actually pretended to be you, even in front of Trish. I was sure by now they know who you are and still they thought she would not know. Even after you saved her as Daredevil."

He swallows. "So? They expect me to be a lying bastard then."

She shakes her head. "Or they know how much you care about her and how much you want to keep her out of this."

"I want to keep everyone out of this." He glares at her. Really, the amount of people making this their business is getting ridiculous. Sure he had called Castle and Cage, but only to finally be done with it all. That was his choice. "In fact, I was thinking of surrendering to the police earlier. I think we can prove that this wasn't me. Fisk can't frame me for anything else when I'm in prison and no one else will die because of me."

"I knew you were an idiot, but you keep surprising me, Red." Frank climbs in through the window. "What about all the innocent people you can't save when you're in prison?"

Matt makes a frustrated noise. "I'm not taking moral advice from you, Castle."

"Then take it from me." Luke is not far behind and he also looks concerned. "There is no point in you giving yourself up here. You didn't do anything wrong and Fisk is still out there…"

"Well, you guys can deal with him, right?"

Jessica makes an exasperated sigh. "Why do you only want our help when you're about to sacrifice yourself?! There are a lot of people in prison who want to get their hands on you and those who don't are in Fisk's pocket. You're as good as dead without your armor there. Not gonna happen, Murdock!"

And Luke is with her on this. "Yeah, we need you here. Alive."

He looks at Frank who just shakes his head. It really did make a lot of sense, before they started talking him out of it. "You make it sound so easy."

"We know it's not." Jessica makes a serious face. "I almost did something like this and Luke was in prison."

Frank just nods. "She's right, you know. He owns the place. Tried to kill me there, too."

After talking the real devil down from giving himself up, Jessica decides to leak the footage she took of Fakedevil earlier. As people start to compare it with other existing videos of Matt fighting it is difficult to come to a conclusion without taking a closer look and a lot of them are not that invested in the truth. Thankfully quite a few people he has saved do come forward and confidently say that the man in the new video was not who saved them. People tend to remember quite well who saved their life.

"If the man at the radio station who killed that woman is the man from those videos then it's not Daredevil. They just need to compare it to security footage." One person writes. The security footage is part of the investigation now and does not get released though. Another one went online saying: "Daredevil saved my life and he didn't use a gun against a gang of 14 thugs. That guy might wear a very similar costume, but he is a completely different man."

Jessica is sitting in front of the laptop and sighs. "It's nice to see some people supporting him at least. There are so many ungrateful assholes who prefer to just assume the worst. It's why I never wanted to do this." This city doesn't deserve heroes.

Trish sits next to her enjoying her morning coffee. "I need to tell you something…" she hesitates. "You said I should tell you after this injection if something changed in me and I think it did."

Jessicas head snaps in her direction. This is what she was afraid of. "What? Something worse than the headaches?"

"During the fight with Elektra I think I made something move... with my mind." Trish swallows knowing how that sounds and of course Jessica doesn't buy it.

"I saw the video. There was nothing moving on it's own."

"It was the sword. You can't see it on the tape, because it is under the table. But she was not able to reach it on her own. She even thanked me afterwards…" Trish is getting agitated seeing the scepticism in her face.

Jessica shakes her head. Damn Trish and her superhero ambitions. "You're imagining things. Prove it to me."

"I've been trying to do it again, but it isn't that easy. I need training to control it."

How convenient. Jessica leans back in her chair. "Okay, you think you made a sword move. That is quite heavy. Try to give me the document on the Moranos over there with your mind and if it even moves an inch, I'll believe you."

Trish sighs. "It is not that unbelievable after everything we've seen. Mind controlling psychopaths turned out to be possible as well."

"I just know, you'd fucking love it to be true. That's all. Even after seeing how people treat our stupid martyr like shit. I just don't get it."

"Jess, it's true." Trish looks desperate.

"I'm sure you believe that. Fine, let me see."

Trish rolls her eyes and concentrates on the document. "Give me some time then…" She looks less and less sure about the whole thing. After more than a minute Jess rests a hand on her shoulder and says. "Trish, you know you're my hero already."

Trish sobs, angry and frustrated. "But she saw it, too…"

"Elektra is a psycho. She's just messing with everyone. Why would you listen to anything she says?"

"Because she was there to help Matt. You know she saved his life in the end and mine, this time. She even told me to make her the bad guy."

"Trish, she IS the bad guy. Trust me."

Matt finally receives a message from Trish asking for her second lesson and he's disappointed but also a little bit relieved. Even if she distracts him more than he would care to admit: After her run-in with his imposter and his crazy ex he can't deny that a bit more self-defence can't hurt, although her forcing him to train her twists his stomach.

When she opens the door for him he can't help being happy to see her. They "Hi" each other like awkward teenagers first. Then he suddenly sobers and moves past her. "So, let's get this over with."

He actually hears her eyes roll.

While walking to the training room she says nervously: "Elektra told me to give you a kiss from her." It's the truth, he can tell, but he doesn't know what to say to that.

"Please, stay away from her and don't let her get into your head."

Trish doesn't say anything else, but he knows she has a lot of questions. He's really not ready to talk about that.

Their second fighting lesson is actually a lot better and he's impressed how much she improved training on her own. She's a lot more aware of where he is standing, even with the blindfold on. He has to block her sometimes. Then he shows her some effective defense moves. In the end he almost tells her he's proud of her, trying to remember why exactly he didn't want to encourage her. When she tries to make a date for their next lesson, he doesn't fight it. He also tells her he can take her to Melvin the next day.

As he tries to leave and he notices her heartbeat become agitated. "Matt…"

He turns around. "Trish, I don't know what else you want from me. I just want you safe. And I don't care about Elektra right now. See you tomorrow." He doesn't want to fight anymore, so he just moves for the door.

"Wait….!"

Suddenly the door shuts violently in front of him. He looks back at Trish, eyes wide open in alarm. She has her hand extended, eyebrows raised. There is certainly no other heartbeat around.

"I tried to tell Jessica, but she doesn't believe me."

"Did YOU just do that?"

Matt takes some steps back from the door, tilting his head and asking lots of questions suddenly. First about how she's feeling then about how she did that. She tells him how she thinks she helped Elektra get armed which he informs her is normally not a very smart idea. But he sees how in that situation she was very lucky to have his former girlfriend / living weapon on her side.

He also wants to test her newfound power a little more. Always careful to make sure she's still fine. It doesn't work again, she only makes a can vibrate once and then her headache comes back.

"Is that why you wanted me to stay?"

"Yeah… well, it's the reason I wanted your help again. I felt bad about forcing you to train me before, but when I noticed what I could do… I need to be able to control that and the cold shoulder you've been giving me… It hurt." Trish shakes her head. "I'd do anything to make it right."

Matt sighs and she thinks she has never seen him this sad. He then moves closer and stops when he's within her reach again finally. "I'm sorry about that. I kind of felt I needed to stay away from you. You distracted me before the fight in my apartment. I should have sensed the attack earlier, but our kiss…"

She gasps. "Wait a minute. That was real?"

There is an adorably confused look on his face.

"What did you think?" He giggles disbelievingly.

"Honestly, I thought it was a dream. After you were acting so angry, I thought I must have imagined that. It also felt way too good to be real."

He just stands there speechless for a moment. Then taking another hesitant step in her direction he leans in, lips on hers - again, apparently - and kisses her softly. His hands also find hers and Trish reminds herself that this is really happening now. After a few wonderful seconds he leans back and mocks looking thoughtful. "You're right. It does. Maybe we're both dreaming." A smile spreads across his face and she lets his affection wash over her.

"We could make sure…" She reaches for him this time crushing their lips together and feels him smile. Their tongues also get invited to the party before he slows it down and stops, both of them panting.

"But... that's... also the reason I wanted to stay away. I'm not that perceptive, when I'm kissing you. Foggy could have gotten hurt because of that, or worse..."

"Oh…" Trish remembers her nightmare about him getting shot in the head just like that and she sobers quickly. "So, I guess we don't want to take this further."

"No, I really, really do want that." He sighs. "But maybe we shouldn't. Not now."

She nods and he cups her face to make her look at him. "How is your head?"

"I don't care."

They hug for a while and he rests his chin on her head until her heartbeat is normal again.

"I have to go now. Pick you up tomorrow at three?"

"Okay." And they're back to him kissing her on the cheek. She closes her eyes. It is for the best.

The Fakedevil incident is all over the news and Jessica doesn't know where to start. She looks at the ones responsible in the radio station, but figures they just smelled scandal, when they invited Christine Shaw. Still, someone must have nudged her to go on Trish's show in particular. So she retraces her steps to see who she talked to and then something interesting comes up. A co-worker swears he saw her with an Indian man who looked like a well known politician. Could he be the one financing Fisk's return to power and his disappearance? She decides to dig into that when Matt calls. After they update each other on recent developments he sighs audibly.

"Jessica, I need to tell you something. About Trish."

She already knows she's not going to like that. "Tell me."

"Don't get mad, I really tried to dissuade her."

"She's as stubborn as you are, so I don't blame you. Out with it." Why all the suspense? She probably tried to convince him of her supposed mind moving abilities, Jessica assumes.

"She told me she'd do some digging on her own, if I didn't show her how to fight. I felt I didn't have a choice. I'm sorry."

She did not expect that one. So that is what they were fighting about. Not a big surprise. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"She didn't push for a second lesson until today. I thought I scared her enough."

"Okay, I'll tell her to leave it alone."

"Wait, that's not all...! I think she's right."

"What?!" He can't be serious.

"I should train her."

"Absolutely not."

"Today she shut the door on me with her mind. I felt and heard it happen. There was no other explanation for this. Then she made a can dance a little. It is true."

Jessica lets this sink in and curses.

"If she can learn to control it, it could help her defend herself - even from a distance. She wants to do this, she's strong. I'm not gonna be an asshole about it. It was no coincidence that they did it in her radio station, Jess."

He would not want Trish running into danger either, she tries to remember. And knowing them seems to be enough to make her repeatedly end up in trouble anyway.

"You realise she'll do more than just defend herself, right?"

They both sigh. Of course he does. Nothing they can do to change it.

"Are you sure you can help her control it?"

"I'm sure I'm her best option at the moment. She already has become much more aware of her surroundings. I think, that could be the first step. We could also ask Rand if he has any ideas."

"I don't like this, Murdock. But thanks for letting me know."

"I'll never forgive myself, if she gets hurt."

"I know." Yeah, no shit. He'll feel responsible either way, whether he trains her or not.

She calls Trish immediately afterwards.

"What the fuck were you thinking, asking him to train you?"

"He told you?"

"Yes, I'm starting to think he's the more sensible one of you two."

"Well, it is sensible to use this, isn't it? It could help. I could actually help. He's the one under threat and I just wanna help protect him as much as I can. Can't a girl do that?"

"Fuck you. You're making me sound like a regressive bitch right now."

"You kinda are."

There was nothing she could do to convince her, Jessica knows. Time to give up and just hope for the best. "So, you're finally fucking?"

"Again with this?" She sighs. "No, actually. We're both scared shitless that someone could sneak up on us."

"Ah, your dream."

"Don't make fun of this. It was damn scary. And he told me he's not as perceptive when he's kissing me…"

"So there was kissing."

"Yeah, and it was already enough to make us both not think clearly..."

There is silence.

"Trish...? You're back there thinking of it now, aren't you?"

"Mh… We did it again, before we agreed to stop."

"Yep… senseless pining - check, bleeding half to death - in his case, that's a given, tragic ending - only a matter of time. It's a Murdock sobfest in the making. Just, please, be careful." She hangs up.
