In Daredevil: Born Again episode 6, Angela Del Toro decides to visit Matt Murdock and discuss something about Hector with him. In the scene, she can be seen telling Matt about what her uncle was investigating before his death, and that it could have saved a lot of people had he not been killed. However, Matt tells her to drop the case and let the cops handle it, but Angela doesn't trust them anymore.

She then decides to start investigating the case herself, and this directly leads her to Muse, the sadistic serial killer, who has been going around New York and killing people. He uses the blood of his victims to make his murals, and also gouges their eyes out and leaves them out for the world to see. Muse then ends up abducting Angela and decides to do the same with her.

Throughout the episode, Matt can also be seen dealing with his desire to get back into the costume to dish out justice, as he knows the system is failing. When Angela doesn't come back home, Soledad calls up Matt and lets him know about it. Matt then tells her not to do anything and to stay where she is. He then calls up 911, but hangs up and decides to take matters into his own hands.

Wilson Fisk starts his own task force with corrupt cops

In Daredevil: Born Again episode 6, fans can see Wilson Fisk going through more mayoral troubles. Previously, it was revealed that he wanted to redevelop the Red Hook area of New York, but needed funding. The episode then sees him organise a fundraiser to get funding for the project, but he isn't able to do so.

This further frustrates him, and with the emergence of Muse, his patience is further tried. As Muse using his victims' blood to spray paint murals, was discovered by a cleanup crew, he puts the NYPD on blast for it, trying to figure why they weren't able to decipher this. He then decides to take matters into his own hands and starts a task force of his own.

With Officers like Powell and Cole North joining the task force, Fisk's new army is primarily built of corrupt cops who are given full authority to be as brutal as they want. This will certainly play into the future of the show, as with the return of Daredevil, Fisk will be targeting him as well with the task force.
