Now theres Kevin, and he seems at least a little deserving of some empathy.
The problem is that theres no telling what the complete truth of Kilgraves past is.
Hes got his own version.

His parents tell another.
And the videos of their experimentations only complicate the matter.
Nothing is as black-and-white as it seemed before after Jessica locks Kilgrave up in the hermetically sealed room.
Or at least, thats how she sees it.
Simpson and Trish by extension would have Jessica execute Kilgrave and be done with it.
Well, this bitch is in control of you now asshole, she tells him.
Its a cold-blooded set-up, but if its what it takes, so be it.
Hogarth is less understanding.
The lawyer, instead, tells Jessica to let Kilgrave go.
The only way that Jessica frees the Kilgraved murderer is to have a legal authority witness the evidence.
The detective doesnt want anything to do with Jessica, and I kind of have to agree with him.
Further complicating matters is Hogarths rapidly deteriorating divorce case.
Sure, theres the risk that Wendy will reveal the jury tampering, but I trust Hogarths lawyering.
All of the divorce proceedings seem irrelevant to the main story line until Hogarth is left alone with Kilgrave.
Blond guy, kind of dumb, has sex with Trish a lot.
Well, hes still alive, but in rough shape.
He insists that there is only one doctor who can see him, a Dr. Kozlov.
The name doesnt appear on the hospital registry, but Simpson is persistent.
Will Simpson is based on the character Frank Simpson, known more commonly as Nuke.
Red boosts his adrenaline before a mission.
White keeps him balanced.
Blue brings him back down.
The problem is that Simpson, both in the comics and on the show, really likes red pills.
NEXT: Ready to meet Kilgraves parents?
Back at the hermetically sealed room, Jessica has hit a snag.
A solution comes in the form of those two scientists from the Kevin tapes, Kilgraves parents.
If theyre alive, they could be the key to stopping him.
Theres also something that Kilgraves father says.
You dont see Eric crying when he goes into the Sin Bin.
Sin bin is a rugby term.
She figures that Eric is the name of an athlete.
Even better: the woman looks familiar.
A woman in the group is actually Louise Thompson.
She and her husband are staying in Brooklyn.
Is it just me or was that way too easy?
Anyway, Jessica follows Louise back to her place, where she and Albert are packing.
They came to the city after hearing about Hope.
And the experiments werent massively sadistic.
Kevin was born with a degenerative neurological condition.
He would have lost all brain function if his parents hadnt intervened.
They hadnt just abandoned Kevin back in the day.
They were forced to flea after his powers became too much to deal with.
But now its time to face their son.
Things are going smoothly… until everything falls apart.
First of all, Clemons arrives, ready to shut the whole thing down.
Luckily, Trish is ready with her gun.
Now face-to-face, parents and child are able to air some grievances.
It isnt the smartest move ever, but its what Jessica needs.
Kilgrave is pissed and orders his mom to stab herself once for every year that he was alone.
Under his control, she obeys and picks up the scissors.
With the evidence of Kilgraves powers secured, Jessica is ready to hit the kill button.
Except, theres something wrong with the wires.
Did Hogarth sabotage the box?
Well have to wait and see, because things only get worse from there.
Louise begins stabbing herself.
Trish pulls out her gun to have a go at kill Kilgrave.
All that does is set him free.
Luckily, Trishs gun is empty.
