Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has ended on rather odd note, with the future of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) hanging in the balance while Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) essentially gets off scot-free.
But while Born Again season 2's finale, titled The Southern Cross, will have major ramifications for Matt himself, it may leave fans divided over the fate of New York's unstable Mayor, formerly known as Kingpin.
Read on for our take on the strange Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending – including Kingpin's fate, Matt's enormous sacrifice and the potential return of The Defenders.
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending explained – Kingpin's fate is a grave injustice
Prior to the riot breaking out, Matt had turned up to defend Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) against the trumped-up charges put against her by Mayor Fisk's corrupt administration, making an enormous sacrifice in order to do so.
With Karen acquitted and Fisk's credibility severely damaged, it initially seems to be a resounding victory for all those who have been working to topple the New York City regime.
BB Urich (Genneya Walton) responds with a parody of the message, which successfully diminishes its impact (but the rapid rate at which she writes, films and edits these videos must rank as one of the most implausible elements of the season).

Daredevil puts an end to the pile-on, before offering a rather lenient deal to his longtime foe. Essentially, he tells Kingpin to 'just go away' – to leave New York and never return.
At this late stage in his crime-fighting career, Daredevil generally doesn't kill and has firmly resisted suggestions that he may have to break that rule in Fisk's case, so it isn't surprising to see him seek a non-lethal resolution to their feud.
To Matt Murdock, it appears, Fisk can commit whichever unspeakable crimes he likes, so long as they are geographically removed from his own stomping ground.
The multiple murders and criminal conspiracies he's been party to in just the past 12 months seem a distant memory to Matt, Karen, the NYPD, the District Attorney and, above all, the writers of the show.
Adding to the confusion, leaked set photos suggest that Kingpin will, in fact, be back next year. So what's the point in any of this?
What will happen to Matt Murdock in season 3?
Although it helped put a stop to Fisk's authoritarian rule, Matt has now definitively lost the legal and physical protection that his secret identity had once afforded him.
It's a perilous situation for Matt to be in, given that any one of the dangerous criminals that he's put behind bars could take this opportunity to enact their revenge.

Luke Cage returns – but will The Defenders reunite?
It had been strongly hinted that Luke and Jessica Jones were still together, and that Danielle was their shared daughter from the comic books, but Colter's appearance is a welcome confirmation regardless.
At the tail-end of this season, he releases Luke from active duty and replaces him with Benjamin Poindexter aka Bullseye (Wilson Bethel), freeing up Harlem's unbreakable hero to play a larger role in Born Again season 3.
For now, it's unclear exactly what this trio are up to, but it might be that they return to the streets of New York City to fill the void when Hell's Kitchen loses its horn-headed hero. (A refurbed Alias Investigations office suggests that Jessica is back for good.)
Born Again season 3 is currently filming in New York City, so there won't be too long until we find out.
