** ''Series/Daredevil2015'':

** ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': In "AKA Sole Survivor," Jessica doesn't like the idea of Trish going out to meet with someone claiming to be Dr. Leslie Hansen, so she benches Trish by calling the paparazzi on her, claiming that Trish and her boyfriend, newscaster Griffin Sinclair, are having a falling out. Trish reluctantly stays on house arrest, with Jessica sending Malcolm over to keep an eye on her. In the midst of their waiting, Trish gets a phone call from Maury at the morgue and learns that the charred human head she and Jessica found in Dr. Hansen's basement is that of Dr. Hansen herself, and the person Jessica's meeting is an imposter. To sneak out so they can go catch Jessica, Malcolm gives the paparazzi photographers false information to send them to Griffin's place... except for one who catches photographs of him then getting into Trish's car. The photographer catches up to Trish and Malcolm just as they reach Jessica and are accosted by the fake "Dr. Hansen". At the start of the next episode, one of the photographer's pictures of Malcolm and Trish is plastered all over the front pages of the tabloids. [[WhatTheHellHero Trish is mad at Jessica for pulling this stunt]], and she and Griffin are also forced to publicly discredit the allegations. Of course, in the episode immediately after this, Trish dumps Griffin, and then another episode later, while on Simpson's inhaler, she has sex with Malcolm.

The next morning, Steve has to correct Nancy about who took her home after their argument, calling Jonathan "her other boyfriend". When Nancy and Jonathan are working with Murray Bauman to expose [[GovernmentConspiracy the Hawkins Energy Lab conspiracy]], he offers them the guest room so they can get some sleep; when they insist they're just friends, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt he laughs out loud]].
