History Recap / JessicaJones2015S1E5AKATheSandwichSavedMe

* ADateWithRosiePalms: When Trish is approached by someone who recognizes her from her teen TV show, he makes a scummy comment about using her as masturbation material as a teen. Jessica makes the man apologize to her.

-->'''Kilgrave:''' Send the picture, save the junkie. [[Series/{{Heroes}} Sounds like an ad campaign]]. ''[chuckles]'' Let's start... um, now. Come on, Jessica. Tell me we have a deal. Let me hear your voice.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Kilgrave gets hit with a dose of surgical anesthesia, which knocks out his powers. Malcolm is shown instantly snapping out of his control once this happens, which is a clue that the guys who come in to extract Kilgrave aren't doing so out of mental compulsion.

* KickTheDog: When the owner of a news-stand finds Kilgrave sampling his wares annoying, Kilgrave makes him throw his scalding-hot coffee in his own face.

* MotiveMisidentification: Jessica naturally assumes the guys sent by Kilgrave are under his control, but it turns out they're paid bodyguards working for a firm.

* NotBrainwashed: See MotiveMisidentification above.

** Kilgrave has a security team tailing him and carries a tracker. The kicker is that they're being paid to do it rather than compelled, in case he is knocked unconscious and loses his powers. (Which gets subverted as we learn in later episodes that they ''are'' being compelled, just not in the way you'd expect)

* BerserkButton: A downplayed instance in that she doesn't attack anyone, but Jessica makes it clear to Jeri that it's a bad idea to bring up her deceased parents.

* MortonsFork: Killgrave presents Jessica with a choice: he kills Malcolm (and she loses), or Jessica can send him daily selfies, both feeding his obsession and giving him a measure of control over her, without having to use his powers (and she loses but at least Malcolm doesn't).

** Kilgrave has a security team tailing him and carries a tracker. The kicker is that they're being paid to do it rather than compelled, in case he is knocked unconscious and loses his powers.
