As Claire, currently hiding out in a co-worker's apartment, later patches up Matt's wounds, they trade dialogue about Matt's actions and the role it plays in both lives; Matt insists Claire stay hidden until the Russians aren't out for her while rebuking her requests of getting body armor, claiming it to be a hindrance to his movement. The conversation continues as the pair exchange phone numbers and Matt sheds a bit more light about the organized crime ring, searching for someone who may be able to give him a lead on Fisk before carrying it out.

When they stop, Wesley shares some parting words with Anatoly before he gets a phone call from Fisk. A split second later, the door opens on Anatoly's side and Fisk pulls him from the car, the two getting involved in fisticuffs.

In the Utkin Prison deep in Siberia, circa 2007, a pair of guards shove Anatoly Ranskahov into a cell where his brother, Vladimir, resides. The pair doubt odds at their survival, no better than the corpse they share the cell with, but those doubts are short-lived; Vladimir has used his time in the cell to tear a rib out of the corpse to use as a weapon in a bid for freedom. Anatoly asks if their fate will see them return to Moscow, but Vladimir talks him out of it, saying that the future lies in America.
The present day sees Vladimir rushing out of a building, claiming that someone has infiltrated it and demanding to know where Anatoly is; he can barely enter a taxi before a lifeless body is hurled out a window crashes onto the hood of the car, tumbling onto the pavement as Vladimir makes his escape. With the car peeling out into the streets, the intruder, Matt clad in his vigilante outfit and standing in front of the broken window, listens to the taxi getting away from him.
As Claire, currently hiding out in a co-worker's apartment, later patches up Matt's wounds, they trade dialogue about Matt's actions and the role it plays in both lives; Matt insists Claire stay hidden until the Russiansmove aren't out for her while rebuking her requests of getting body armor, claiming it to strike back against Matt. be a hindrance to his movement.

-->'''Claire:''' So what, you're just gonna go out there punching whoever you can, hoping to find somebody who knows this Fisk guy?
-->'''Matt:''' Well, apply enough pressure, someone will break... sooner or later.
Elsewhere, in a garage where taxis much like Vladimir's getaway vehicle are being repurposed with new logos, the Ranskahovs are confronted by Wesley. Wesley informs them that, though Fisk is willing to give the brothers' cover organization of a taxi service the assets taken from Prohazska after his death, he's also unhappy about the Ranskahovs continuing to fall short on their payments due to the masked vigilante; even Nobu and Gao's patience with the Ranskahovs is starting to grow thin. Though Vladimir is quick to turn down Fisk's offer of assistance, Wesley leaves it on the table for he and Anatoly to discuss; the brothers instead choose to reach out to contacts of their own for help.

Anatoly and Vladimir enter the hospital under the guise of visitors to find one of their contacts in critical condition; Semyon, the Russian that Matt threw off the roof of Claire's apartment. As they prepare to wake Semyon from his coma, the brothers reflect on their past in Utkin; Anatoly in particular remembers promising never to lose what they once had in Moscow, but states that he and Vladimir had lost sight of that goal and lost touch with each other. Vladimir replies by assuring Anatoly that they'll reclaim that prestige together, waking Semyon afterward. Semyon is quick to tell the Ranskahovs of Claire, and in turn, they call in another one of their contacts, a henchman named Sergei.

Fisk requests Wesley stay in the car and, after thanking him for his help, leaves to enter the art museum.
Fisk's glancing at the paintings is cut short when he meets Vanessa again; the pair trade some banter over the rabbit in a snowstorm painting before Fisk, though stumbling over his words, offers to take Vanessa to dinner. Though Vanessa turns him down, Fisk accepts her rejection, and upon seeing this, Vanessa comments about her surprise on how well Fisk is handling the subject. Fisk replies that he remains uninterested in a woman that can be bought; Vanessa decides to take him up on his offer, the pair delighting in their mutual fondness for Italian afterward.
Back with Claire, her night of tending to her co-worker's pet cat is disturbed by nearby noises; after checking, she spots a woman going past the hallway, and pays it no mind as she carries on with her night, unaware of a figure glancing at her from outside her curtained windows. Meanwhile, Foggy and Matt are leaving the police department, the former regaling the latter with stories of how his mother wanted him to be a butcher and not a lawyer, when the ensuing conversation about their former law firm is cut short by Matt answering his phone to the sound of Claire screaming in fear. As Foggy hails a taxi to go back to the office, Matt races back to Claire's temporary abode, but finds it empty.
Inside one of the Ranskahovs' taxis is Claire, trapped in the trunk; Sergei and his comrade are driving her to the garage. After a detour to Karen sketching individuals at an auction house and running in to Ben, who advises her to bid to keep her cover intact, the taxi arrives at the Ranskahovs' garage, where the Russians take Claire from the trunk. During this time, Matt has found a distraught Santino, but after calming him down, he only learns that the Russians took Claire and left in a Veles taxi.
An upscale restaurant is the setting, meanwhile, for Fisk and Vanessa's date, wherein Fisk pours his heart out to Vanessa, how Hell's Kitchen is a part of him, his dreams of making it a better place; a scene contrasted by the Russians attempting to extract information on the masked man from Claire, but to her aid comes the vigilante himself. With the power out in the garage, the Russians find themselves being taken down one at a time before Sergei takes Claire hostage in a move that ends poorly for him, as he finds himself at the mercy of Claire and the masked man afterward.
Ben and Karen regroup at the diner, where Ben advises Karen that, if she still wishes to look into the Union Allied case, she should plan her actions with much more care from now on, starting with signing the Union Allied contract. Meanwhile, the Ranskahovs return to the garage and, seeing their men laying on the ground, Anatoly decides to make good on Wesley's offer and ask Fisk for help; albeit begrudgingly, Vladimir lets him go. Fisk, in the midst of his date, has the chance to share dessert with Vanessa interrupted by Anatoly who, despite Wesley's warnings, has stormed through Fisk's guards in an attempt to accept the offer.
As Karen informs Foggy of her winning some office equipment from the auction house, Matt now has to tend to Claire's injuries, and, during the ensuing conversation, Matt begins to express his doubts that he's actually making a difference in the city. Claire assures him that despite how scared she is about the predicament, Matt can quell those fears and truly make the city a better place, and in turn, Claire learns his real name.
