We can see where this is going, story-wise: her powers will continue to fluctuate, they'll fight again, he'll push her too far, and her strength will kick back in, turning him into goo.

Even though we all know it's coming, it's gonna feel good.

If/When it happens, it's definitely an earned consequence.

There were lots of things I liked about this episode but the resolution made no sense.

What didn’t make sense? The ending seemed fine to me.

Daredevil doesn't kill anyone, goes to prison. Fisk murders twenty to thirty people in front of the entire city, goes to the beach.

I see the beach as being a kind of prison for Fisk. He thrives on controlling people, on controlling an empire. Last time Murdock put him in prison, he just took it over from the inside. He can’t do that on the beach. There’s no one else there. He hasn’t even got Vanessa.

Murdock will get out of jail eventually and hopefully get some kind of happily ever after with Karen. Fisk? All he’s got is the beach. He can never go back to New York.

My only disappointment was knowing how easy Powell got off. Yeah, he’s in prison now too but that stuck-up SOB had it coming to him.

If it helps,the character the actor played in Mayor of Kingtown didn't get off as easily

You have to look at it from what they know. Fisk already went to prison. Owned the prison pretty much and co-opted the police force, the underworld and the FBI from within. It's what he does.

Renounce his citizenship and get sent to an island - that takes away all of it, and puts him in a hell of his own creation. And it also sidesteps all of the circus that surrounds him if he doesn't resign. Even with criminal charges, there is a circus around trying to get an elected official out of office. And he can still do damage in the interim.

And a gilded cage is still a cage.
