We get a great look at what life for Jessica was like before KIlgrave got a hold of her. There's also a plan hatched by Jess, Trish and Simpson to get Kilgrave and help Malcolm. Trish and Simpson also get a little, uh, closer. SImpson also gets a little more to do as well, which I like as it brings up another problem.
Trish's life before Kilgrave was examined this episode. Being a private investigator wasn't always her life as she sort of just had an aimless career. I did like though that her personality is different as she was able to blackmail her way out of her job with a big severance pay. Her strength tester match-up with a creep at the bar was pretty funny. I also liked how they showed her saving a small child as she knew what was right and she didn't care who saw or even how she was dressed. But the best had to definitely be when she meets Kilgrave. That happens because she saved Malcolm from being killed. This must also be the time Kilgrave decided to use him. It was also awesome to see Jessica using her powers to throw a guy over a car and another through a shed. We haven't gotten a lot of scenes with her showing off her powers but that was great.
Simpson gets a little more to do, and by that I mean, doing Trish. As Jessica noted, it did seem to move a little fast but I do like them together as it can keep them both around. Simpson, however, during their kidnap mission, seemed to go rogue and act brash. It was good that Jess told him he was a cop because he seems to be resorting to his old spec ops ways.
The mission went as good as possible. I'm glad that it didn't go as planned because A) they never do and B) that is what makes it more interesting. The fact that they didn't get Kilgrave is great as well as it is too early in the show to have that and they have to make a more in depth plan to get up close and personal to kidnap him.
It was also really tense seeing Kilgrave control Jessica by using Malcolm's life as leverage. However, the fact that he chose not to use the drugs is so powerful as we see that he wants to get better. Still, though Jessica is still sending selfies to him so it will be fun to see how that plays out.
I also love the kid running around as Captain America. There haven't been many nods to the movies like Daredevil, or especially Agents of Shield, but that was great.
+ Jessica's backstory + Kilgrave kidnap + Malcolm's choice + Kilgrave's ultimatum +/- Trish and Simpson
Final Score: 9.2/10
