In order to sabotage Wilson Fisk's deal with the FBI, Karen Page planned to use terms of his house incarceration. According to them, Fisk would be returned to prison if he was charged with a crime that predates the agreement. Page learned from Marlene Vistain that Fisk killed his father when he was twelve.
Page headed to Fisk's suite in Presidential Hotel. There she was halted by Wellers and J. Lim who informed her that Fisk refuses to speak with the press and she must leave. However, Page said that she came to write an article about his mother and advised to contact with Fisk's lawyers. They officially gave Page permission to speak with their client.
Speaking with Fisk, Page told him about their talk with his mother and Ben Urich. She informed him that she knows that Fisk killed his father and New York Bulletin will expose the truth that can return him to prison. Fisk became nervous due to her words but did not comment on it. After a long pause, Fisk reminded Page about her work at Nelson and Murdock. Fisk then asked her how long she knew about Matt Murdock's secret life. Page's reaction made it clear for Fisk and he thanked her.
Page then decided to play her ace card and reminded him about James Wesley. Page told Fisk how Wesley kidnapped her, which led her to shoot him seven times. Fisk was enraged. Page told Fisk about Wesley's death because she knew that killing her in front of cameras in his penthouse would be undeniable evidence against him. However, before he could do this, FBI agents warned by Foggy Nelson stormed the penthouse and apprehended Page. Fisk then was moved out of her while FBI allowed Page to leave with Nelson.Daredevil: 3.08: Upstairs/Downstairs
Fearing that Fisk could take revenge for his friend, Page decided to leave New York City and hide from his rage. Before she left, she went to Clinton Church to apologize to Murdock for revealing his secret. However, Maggie Grace informed her that Murdock left the church and went off the grid. Instead, she proposed her to cover in the basement of the church where Murdock lived before. Page agreed and stayed in the church under the care of Paul Lantom.
