The series premiere of Daredevil: Born Again saw Matt Murdock meet a new love-interest (Margarita Levieva's Heather Glenn), and things seemed to be going pretty well for the pair in episode 2... although there was the somewhat ominous reveal that Wilson and Vanessa Fisk had enlisted Heather's services for couples therapy.
Was this simply a coincidence, or is the Kingpin taking precautions in case Murdock decides to let the Devil loose again?
Possible spoilers follow.
“Is it a coincidence…?” executive producer Sana Amanat responds to TV Line when asked about Fisk's intentions. “Is it?” adds showrunner Dario Scardapane. “Or is it another Fiskian movie to get close to people in Matt’s life?”
Heather Glenn was a minor character in the comics, so you might well be aware of her fate on the page. It remains to be seen if the show follows suit, but it certainly sounds like Marvel has some significant - and potentially sinister - plans in place for Matt's latest lover.
“Ohhh, you’re in for a treat,” Scardapane added with a ("slightly evil?") laugh. “I wish I could see the look on your face in about four episodes.”
