Things get complicated between Jessica and Luke.
Three episodes in, andJessica Jonesis already breaking new ground… and breaking one bed.
The scenes between Jessica and Luke werent superfluous and only there for the shock value, either.

(Although, I appreciate any justification for working Sweet Christmas!
into the dialogue.)
Some (literally) pick people up at bars.
Some convert their apartments into fortresses and take personal defense classes.
(I mean, whose mom hasnt tried to sell her soul to the devil?)
But theres also the strong suggestion that Jessica may have hurt her friend while under the control of Kilgrave.
(Readers of the comic book will no doubt see some parallels forming.)
(Get your mind out of gutter.)
And it wasnt the crash that killed her.
(Werent the radio clips we hear painfully hokey?)
Jessica wants to change that, and she sees Trishs profile as a means of doing this.
The radio host balks at the idea at first, but comes around once Hogarth gets involved.
Yes, smarter things have been done.
The villains response, at first, is surprisingly civil.
Its the next step where he takes things too far.
Yes, because New Yorkers always name check Darren Aronofsky movies when you upset them.
Anyway, the attack on Trish leads to a pretty great confrontation between Kilgrave and Jessica.
Im already dying for them to really square off.
No more brainwashed upper class families attacking her.
I want superhero versus supervillain, which actually brings up an interesting point.
Unlike Fisk, Kilgrave isnt surrounded by sub-baddies that can match Jessicas skill set.
Matt had plenty of people to fight on his way to the Kingpin.
(That ninja fight!)
What will keep Jessica busy as she works her way to Kilgrave?
Once Jessica incapacitates the family and saves the unwillingly suicidal cop, all is still not well.
Coming face-to-face will Kilgrave brought the memory of Reva Connors back in an un-ignorable way.
It doesnt matter how amazing the supersex is.
She cant see Luke anymore.
The final moments of the episode were some of the most powerful of the series thus far.
Danger is all around her, often unseen and never stopping.
