After gaining enough signatures and with his wife Vanessa's support, Wilson Fisk decides to run for mayor of New York City on an anti-vigilantism campaign. While meeting with Murdock, Fisk assures him he was not involved in Foggy's murder and kept his promise to not hurt Murdock's friends. When Murdock warns Fisk that he will retaliate if he steps out of line, Fisk counters that there will be consequences if Murdock resumes his activities as Daredevil.

With Cherry's help, Murdock discovers Hector is the vigilante White Tiger, who took justice into his own hands after Daredevil's disappearance. While attempting to improve his optics during his first days as mayor, Fisk learns from Ben Urich's niece, young journalist BB, that New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Gallo, who is well aware of Fisk's criminal past, is poised to resign in protest of Fisk becoming mayor.
