More flashbacks. This one opens in 2008 when Kingpin bashes an ice cream vendor to a pulp because he could not understand Maya's sign language.

Little Maya sees what has happened. Instead of being shocked seeing Kingpin covered in blood. She goes and gives the ice cream vendor a few kicks.

That is the start of a beautiful friendship where Kingpin is the surrogate father. Now maybe Kingpin knows that he and Maya both have some sort of super abilities.

He wants Maya to return to him, despite being shot in the eye by her.

Later Maya reunites with Chula. Only getting the sense that her grandmother left her with Kingpin.

The penultimate episode was at its best when Maya and Kingpin have their showdown. It dissipates once Vincent D'Onofrio leaves. Then it hits the ground with a dull thud.
