Are Wilson Fisk and Vanessa breaking up in Daredevil: Born Again?

Fisk and Vanessa are still married, but their relationship has crumbled over time.

Vanessa had an extramarital affair with Adam. Although Fisk discovered this affair, he promised Vanessa that he would not harm Adam, as he has become a changed man. After realizing that their separation is negatively impacting their careers, they decide to work on saving their marriage.

Fisk’s rise as New York City’s mayor introduces more complications. Vanessa disapproves of his new political role for two key reasons. First, it reduces her control over the Five Families. Second, she fears Fisk might retaliate against Adam. However, when Fisk assures her that Adam is safe, she finds some relief.

Fisk’s assistant, Sheila, reveals his schedule for the day as a mayor. It includes a meeting with New York’s firehouse chief and reaching out to Commissioner Gallo. As their conversation proceeds, he also asks her if he is getting the same seat as Fiorella La Guardia, a former mayor, who built the city and whom his father deeply respected.

They further argue over meet-and-greets and his potential enemies. However, Sheila emphasizes how Vanessa’s absence from his life is affecting his narrative campaign and public image. He interrupts her, revealing that the timing is not appropriate to talk about their relationship. They have some things to sort out. So, he will require some time to restore his bond.

When journalist BB Urich pressures Fisk to address his failing marriage publicly, Fisk becomes more determined to reconcile with Vanessa. In a surprising turn of events, Heather, Matt Murdock’s love interest, gets new clients at Episode 2’s end. They are none other than Fisk and Vanessa. They explain to her that they are trying to better their relationship by seeking marriage therapy. Moreover, they remain determined to restore their marriage as it’s affecting both their careers.
