* GravitySucks: Played with. Watch closely after Jessica throws Trish onto the roof across the street: Sallinger peeks up over the wall from where he was cowering and at first looks ''down'' to see where Trish landed. Only after a split second does he catch on that Trish is basically directly across from where they are, having been thrown mostly horizontally.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: Sallinger once again mocks Jessica for being "so predictable" when he captures her. As it turns out by the end of the episode, the whole thing was a trap set by her and Erik to trick him into an EngineeredPublicConfession, so not only did he not predict her as much as he thought, ''she'' predicted how he'd act.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Trish tells Jessica that she too killed someone, namely Kilgrave. Jessica agrees, but tells her that it nearly destroyed her, so naturally she doesn't want her sister to go through the same thing.



* DefiantToTheEnd: While he at first panics and asks for mercy, Sallinger actually puts up a fight against Trish and spitefully tells her that Jessica will now see her for what she really is when she is about to beat him to death.



* ItsAllMyFault: Erik blames himself for what Trish has become.
* MotiveRant: When being chained, Trish tries to explain her actions to a pretty horrified Malcolm.
* OhCrap: Sallinger panics when he realizes that Trish is here to kill him.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Trish murders Sallinger despite him already being in prison.
* SaveTheVillain: Jessica rescues Sallinger from Trish during the first half.



* VillainHasAPoint: Sallinger claims that Jessica secretly wants to be a hero. Judging from Jessica's expression (and the fact that she's spent the whole series [[ChronicHeroSyndrome doing the heroic thing at every turn]] despite complaining about it) he's probably right. He's wrong about her having failed to become one, though, as she shows by taking him down.

As Trish makes a move on Sallinger, Jessica intervenes and ends up caught in a harrowing dance with the killer.

!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* BatmanGambit: Jessica anticipates Sallinger coming for her and bugs her apartment, meaning that his attempt on her life gets caught on tape. It also ensures that she's forewarned about him having spiked her booze, so she never drinks it but only pretends to pass out.
* CharacterDeath: Trish murders Sallinger.
* ElevatorEscape: Jessica and Sallinger escape from Trish by elevator.
* FastballSpecial: A variation. Jessica throws Trish from the hospital rooftop to the one across the street to make sure she can't get at her and Sallinger.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Trish registers as evil for Erik now. Jessica is desperate to keep her from killing again, fearing that if she keeps going the change will become permanent.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Considering how much use Sallinger has gotten out of the security cameras in his own apartment, he should probably have considered the possibility that Jessica might put some in hers.
* SlippingAMickey: Sallinger drugs Jessica's whiskey to ensure that she first passes out and is partly paralysed even when she wakes up.
* UngratefulBastard: Jessica goes to some length to keep Sallinger alive. As soon as he thinks he's safe, he tries to kill her.
* VillainHasAPoint: Sallinger claims that Jessica secretly wants to be a hero. Judging from Jessica's expression (and the fact that she's spent the whole series [[ChronicHeroSyndrome doing the heroic thing at every turn]] despite complaining about it) he's probably right. He's wrong about her having failed to become one, though, as she shows by taking him down.
