Season 1, Episode 9
9/10
The real world is not about happy endings

Warning: Spoilers
Jessica is practically at the finish line now. With Kilgrave in a cage (a technologically advanced one), a camera set up and pieces coming together., Kilgrave manages to flip the table and shift the scales. On the side, Simpson gets treated and Jery's life, um, well, heats up a bit.

Jess manages to inch closer to getting Kilgrave. With him in her "care", we see that while he is imprisoned it is cool to see how he still has the power over her. This is shown extraordinarily well when she tries to get him to use his powers on her in front of a camera. It did seem that he might break but the fact that Trish had to physically stop her helped out Kilgrave tremendously.

I did like how during the episode, Jessica managed to put the pieces together for finding Kilgrave's parents. It evolved at a good pace and it was interesting to see what his parents had to go through. It was actually very heartbreaking to see that his mother went to the group therapy sessions. She never spoke or anything but she was seen a few times so it wasn't really sprung on us. I loved and laughed how Jessica just blatantly told the guy whose jacket was stolen by Kilgrave to get over his "loss". Compared to others, I have to say he got off easy.

The end of the episode with Jess bringing KIlgrave's parents to him was so well done. Watching Kilgrave play everyone was phenomenal, as you could even buy that he might have been sincere about being with his parents. That is until he made them hurt themselves. However, this does show Kilgrave's powers off, on camera and in front of a cop so we could be getting closer to Hope being freed. Kilgrave does, however, manage to get away but we get one important new piece of information: Kilgrave can no longer control Jessica! This will totally help her out now and really push the story.

Simpson, surprisingly, survived the bomb Kilgrave set off. Looks like he's recovering through some other means which might be a fun avenue to go through, given Simpson's past. Those pulls are most definitely physical enhancements of some kind which probably won't mix well with Simpson's recklessness.

Jery's storyline is getting so annoying and boring. It does look like it might add to the story though as it was because of Jery that Kilgrave could escape. I will say though, the scene between Pam and Jery in her office was pretty hot.

+ Ritter/Tennant + Case closing + Who has the power + Kilgrave's games + Simpson's recovering - Jery/Pam/Wendy storyline

Final Score = 9.3/10
