The paranoia deepens as Jessica makes an ally and discovers an enemy.

Jessica makes an unexpected ally in the form of the now free-minded cop from last episode. This confused me; I had thought that the only reason he wasn't coming back to kill Trish was that he still thought she was dead. But Jessica explains later in the episode that the mind control wears off after a while if not re-applied, so that's all well and good.

The best part of the episode was when them combing through people claiming to have been controlled by Kilgrave. It was done montage style, and was the funniest thing in this series so far. I loved some of the fake stories people made up. It also provided some more chilling true Kilgrave stories.

Jessica deals with some clients ending in an explicit tie-in to the MCU, and tracks down the person following her. The episode ends in a chilling reveal. It's a cool twist, but I wish it had been directed in a slightly clearer way; I couldn't tell whether I was just imagining it the first time I watched it. If that had been a choice to make the viewer uncertain, that would be cool, but I'm sure it wasn't.
