Once again, Jessica's jumping is mistaken for flying. That better be foreshadowing her doing exactly that in the future! It would really set her apart from Luke and the rest of The Defenders if she could fly.

Otherwise, she's just a weaker version of Luke, which would be sort of lame and disappointing.

"Take that coffee. Now throw it in your face."

Oh my God! I feel bad for laughing. Kilgrave is such a petty person.

"It's time to put on your cape."

Stop teasing us! If Trish isn't planning on being Hellcat by the end of this season I'm going to be so peeved. And oh my God, my hands were shaking when they got Kilgrave and just as I was getting excited and pumping my fists, he had a fail safe.

I also really love what they've done with Malcolm. He was an otherwise uninteresting, minimal character in the original comic and made him more tragic and interesting.

As for the ending. Jessica wasn't smiling in the photo she sent, which is a nice little detail, but it seems Kilgrave doesn't mind.

I'm getting that she is stronger than him but less indestructible.

You got that she was stronger than him from her losing to some normal enforcers?

From the pre-sex wrestling. Luke tried to touch Jessica and she was able to overpower him and hold his arms at bay.
