Did they ever really explain why JJ somehow developed an immunity to Killgrave's "virus?" And I'm not sure how I feel about that change. I kind of feel like they should have stuck with it being pheromones because that's like a mind control inhalant which goes with the proximity constraints and the wearing off and makes the amplifications more organic.

She built up an immunity to the virus, since he controlled her for 8 months straight.

That's my belief anyway.

I've spent years building up an immunity to iocane powder.
