The previous episode of Daredevil: Born Again had the best ending of the season. Considering that this season has had multiple deaths, exploding ships, and protests, that says a lot. But the combination of things that happened perfectly leads into the season 2 finale.
First, and maybe most important, Buck kills Daniel. Yes, Buck has killed people before, but rarely someone he likes and admires. Not only did he not want to kill him, but Daniel also asked his former mentor an important question. “What is followin' his orders gonna do for you? How long 'till you're on the floor with a gun pointed at your head?” This will certainly come into play in the season finale.
Second, Bullseye showed that he can follow orders. He protected the Governor of New York from Wilson Fisk’s goons. Sure, he killed them, but let’s not act like they didn’t deserve it. Plus, we should give Poindexter points for not killing the cops when they showed up.
Lastly, and this was my favorite part, the scene with Karen Page and Heather Glenn. Dr. Glenn showed that she is too far gone by treating Karen like a criminal and attacking her while she was cuffed. This was the first big step to her becoming the next Muse.
If this writer had to guess, she would wear or make the mask before the season ends. Here's how you can watch the season finale of Daredevil: Born Again to see if that's the case.

What to expect with the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 8
Admittedly, my predictions have been off most of the season. However, I truly believe that Matt Murdock will reveal that he’s Daredevil at some point during this episode. If he doesn’t, then Mayor Wilson Fisk will out him as the Man without Fear out of anger. Either way, this ends with Matt going to jail for being the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
One other thing to look for is guest appearances. Viewers will most likely see Luke Cage and Danny Rand, but there’s one more character that may swing into a scene during the post- or mid-credit scene. That’s right, I’m predicting that Spider-Man will show up to lead into Brand New Day.
