In the fifth episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, not only did the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen get a deeper backstory, but two characters previously thought to be gone forever reappeared in flashback scenes. Fans shared their reactions to these surprise returns on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Fans react to Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Episode 5’s returning characters
In Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 5, “The Grand Design,” we see the return of beloved characters from the past. The episode brings back Foggy Nelson, played by Elden Henson, and Toby Leonard Moore as James Wesley, and weaves their stories into the present-day events, creating a narrative that jumps between timelines.
People on X (formerly Twitter) were thrilled to see Foggy and Wesley reunited on screen. Many fans expressed their excitement, with one simply posting, “Foggy and Wesley on my screen!” Others repeatedly shared their anticipation for the episode, especially happy about Foggy’s return.
This episode reveals how Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson first became law partners through flashbacks. A past case where they disagreed about a client is similar to the current trouble Daredevil is facing with Bullseye.
A fan pointed out a compelling parallel: the debate between Matt and Foggy about whether to condemn someone to life in prison or give them a second chance echoes Matt’s current struggle with what to do about Bullseye.
Flashbacks show Wesley was the one who brought Buck Cashman into Fisk’s criminal organization. This changes how we see Buck’s dedication to Fisk and what he’s doing now. One viewer commented that because Wesley essentially made Buck his protégé, they’ll always view Buck differently – and with admiration – from now on.
One fan enthusiastically praised the chemistry between Wesley and Buck, declaring their pairing “the most important crossover ever.”
This week’s episode brings back Vanessa Fisk (played by Ayelet Zurer), and her story sadly comes to an end. You can watch “The Grand Design” now on Disney+.
