Ayelet Zurer Talks About Character’s Death In Daredevil: Born Again Episode 8
In a recent ScreenRant interview, Ayelet Zurer opened up about Vanessa Fisk’s shocking actions in Daredevil: Born Again episode 8. Her character turns dark by killing Adam, setting off a wave of consequences that will likely echo throughout the series. Zurer teased that while the show is all about consequences, Vanessa’s actions are particularly tied to gaining trust, especially with her husband, Wilson Fisk.
“It’s all about gaining trust, for her and him,” Zurer explained, adding that the connection between Vanessa and Fisk is deep, almost inseparable. However, with trust comes sacrifice, and Vanessa’s journey ahead is filled with heartbreak as she grapples with her choices. What makes Vanessa’s storyline even 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 had to push aside her emotions when she learned of this twist. “I didn’t deal with it until the absolute 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.

“I had to suppress the fact that Vanessa is involved in this,” she said. It’s clear that Vanessa’s actions will have major ramifications, and Zurer hints that consequences are just around the corner. It will be an emotional rollercoaster, and Vanessa’s fate is far from settled. The stakes are high, and Daredevil: Born Again is only getting more intense.
