Also (no complaints here but), the SECOND we learned that Oscar’s adorable son was conveniently out of the house with his mom, it was inevitable that all that sexual tension was going to do what sexual tension does best: Get Jess and Oscar in bed - or, uhh, on canvas? - together, stat. And of course Jessica is too distracted to not take Trish at her word that she’s fine. Of course Trish is addicted to the drugs in the IGH inhaler, but is too ashamed to tell Jessica, the only person who could actually help her. Of course Inez, a nurse, would eventually spot Jeri’s meds while rifling through her stuff and put duh and duh together. Of course that is the only reason she would let Inez stay her apartment. Of course she wants to get access to the lifesaving (but black-market) medical technology that IGH used on Jessica to battle her own ALS. Jeri’s efforts in particular have been so transparent, it’s hard to imagine anyone not seeing her end game coming. Save for the one big reveal - which I promise left me yelling holy shit holy shit ahhhh at my screen - this episode unfolds in predictable ways. Superheroes: Even they have to buy rice and curse themselves for getting water anywhere near this little device on which they, too, completely rely! In this case, it’s when your iPhone gets wet and ceases to function. OK, your turn.One of the things I love about Jessica is that, super though she may be, she can be felled by the most mortal of problems. “Whatever it is… the only way to find it is to open the door wider.” ![]() Me, Whizzer… and something else,” Jessica narrates, flashing to another fuzzy memory of a burned and deformed man in that building. And when she turns to snap a photo of one particularly dingy hallway, Jessica suddenly has a memory of being in this exact building when she was young, crying as she was strapped down to a bed and wheeled into a room where nothing good could have possibly taken place. Jessica finally gives in and starts investigating IGH, easily tracking down a nearby building that houses all sorts of old medical equipment. Maybe IGH did mess her up in those 20 days. But in the hour that follows, she (1) assaults a competing private investigator, Pryce Cheng, after he presumes to know her history with Kilgrave (2) watches a fellow powered person, “The Whizzer,” get crushed under fallen scaffolding, after she repeatedly ignored his conspiracy theories about someone wanting him dead and (3) begins to wonder if perhaps Trish is right. “I can’t change the past,” she tells Trish, clearly reluctant to dredge up the painful memories of her family’s death. So, where was she during that time? What was being done to her off the record? And is it possible that IGH - the company that mysteriously paid all of Jessica’s medical bills - used these 20 days to experiment on Jessica and turn her into the superpowered woman she is now?Īt first, Jessica has no intention of answering those questions. And the file contains a worrying tidbit: Though Jessica had been admitted to that hospital immediately after the accident, she wasn’t assigned a bed until 20 days later. Her best friend, Trish, meanwhile, has been talking about powered people almost constantly on her radio show, making it harder for Jessica to move past the whole Kilgrave thing.Īll of this comes to a head when Trish gets her hands on a file from the hospital Jessica stayed at after her family’s fatal car accident 17 years ago. cases that don’t have emotional backstories, lest she actually feel something. ![]() When we catch up with her in the premiere, she’s drinking more than ever and only taking on P.I.
