In a recent ScreenRant interview, Ayelet Zurer opened up about Vanessa Fisk’s shocking actions in Daredevil: Born Again episode 8.

“It’s all about gaining trust, for her and him,” Zurer explained, adding that the connection between Vanessa and Fisk is deep, almost inseparable. Nonetheless, with trust comes sacrifice, and Vanessa’s journey ahead is stuffed with heartbreak as she grapples together with her selections. What makes Vanessa’s storyline much more complex is the revelation in episode 8 that she was behind the death of Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock‘s best friend.
Zurer admitted she needed to brush aside her emotions when she learned of this twist. “I didn’t cope with it until absolutely the end,” she confessed, calling it a “miserable, sad moment.” It’s a chilling reminder of how Vanessa’s loyalty to Fisk leads her to commit unspeakable acts.
