Warning: Spoilers
Three shows in and this is getting fairly predictable. They have a single bad guy Jessica will chase the entire season, and she will not catch him until the very end of the last episode, and everything in between is just frustrating chases that you know will end with the bad guy getting away...every...single...time.

I've only seen three shows, so I don't know that for a fact. But I know it.

One thing about this episode that made zero sense was Jessica didn't bring the others to the lawyer and say "See, these people were controlled by Kilgrave, they can swear to it." The cop knows exactly what he did and exactly who made him do it. Trish's apartment has security cameras so there is actual footage of the cop attacking her. There is no denying it. So why don't they use it? Why not use it to prove people are being mind controlled. There were plenty of others in that final scene as well. They can all swear to it.

But they chose, for whatever reason, to not use the most obvious thing about this episode. I guess they just want to draw this out needlessly. They make everything so complicated. Getting the drugs was just one long string of scenes that went nowhere. Boring.

They need to move this along and not make 15 episodes that are all alike, all with the same antagonist, all ending the exact same way. I know this show is already a few years old, so I'm raving about writers who have already written crap, got paid too much, and moved on.
