Written by ScottyTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...After Malcolm has cleaned up his act, he is trying to stay with Jessica to make sure that she will be okay as well. When Luke Cage comes calling, Malcolm wants to stand up for his friend, but after being dismissed by Jessica, he will continue to stand his ground. When seeing Jessica arriving home after working with Luke, Malcolm tries to step in, but winds up just talking to Luke about what his intentions are with his friend. Bringing Kilgrave into the conversation, Luke is starting to figure out the effect this monster has on Jessica, but does not understand to what lengths. Luke has a case for Jessica and even though she refuses to take it, he convinces her otherwise. Young Antoine has gone missing and besides Luke looking for him, a loan shark is on his tail as well. Jessica does her normal research on the case, but when she finds nothing about the boy, she tries the next best thing, calling his cell phone and leaving a message that he is a winner of a new Xbox. Getting a call back from a man with an accent, Jessica gives the stranger a time and a place to claim his prize. While waiting to see who shows up, Luke and Jessica follow the stranger back to his place of business and threaten him to give up Antoine’s location. Finding Antoine is part of the drug operation, Jessica and Luke have also lead the loan shark to the same location. Not willing to give up her find, Jessica and Luke have to fight their way free of the loan shark and his men, but when Jessica sees an opening to get Antoine home, she has to take it. After Hope was beaten by Sissy in the prison, Jeri is first on the scene to find out what happened. Not being told anything, she leaves since she has more pressing events to take care of, but Jessica is able to make the inmates talk. Finding out that Hope is pregnant with Kilgrave’s child, she understands what the girl is going through and will do anything to help her. Providing Hope with an abortion pill, Jessica is forced to leave and pursue the Antoine case and makes Jeri stay with the girl until the pill has taken full effect and there is no more baby. As Jeri watches the young girl suffer, she decides to leave as well but requests the unborn fetus from the prison doctor for reasons only she knows. Kilgrave is trying to procure funds around town and at a high stakes poker game, he is able to walk away with over a million dollars. Trying to keep his own tabs on Jessica, he has forced the private investigator to send him a photo of herself every day at 10am, since if she does not follow through with this request, Malcolm will be put back under his spell. Being late on this request is not an option for Kilgrave since he has the power to change more than her life and will stop at nothing to see her non smiling face every day. Checking real estate listings, Kilgrave has a plan for his money and arriving at a total stranger’s house, he makes the owner an offer that cannot be refused. Not using his powers is something that is foreign to him, but the purchase of the home is legit and the owner is happy with the price and now Kilgrave has another base of operation. Luke Cage is bound and determined to find Antoine at all costs, not for the love of the boy, but for the information the boy’s sister has locked away. With the promise of information on the accident that killed his wife Reva, Luke has always thought that there was something being hidden from the public records. Jessica is fearful for what Luke might find out about the crash, but when he gets the inside scoop about the driver, Charles Wallace and how he was drunk when his wife was killed, she is briefly relieved. But when Luke gets on Charles’ bus and waits for the last stop to kill the man for what he did, Jessica cannot allow him to go through with it. Coming clean to Luke about how she played a part in Reva’s death, Luke is in denial, but still has to believe the story that is being told to him. Feeling betrayed, Luke goes his own way to find out what to do next and after the two had bonded earlier, Kilgrave might have a super strong man chasing after him as well. This is a very intense episode filled with decisions that most people should never have to face. With Luke finding out that Jessica killed his wife and the relationship the two have had, he may never be able to trust anyone again. A huge change from where the episode started and he is starting to believe that Kilgrave is a real threat and will help out Jessica at every turn. Jeri is still trying to dig up the dirt on her soon to be ex-wife and needs the information sooner than later. Jessica has so many things going on, and being at the bottom of her list, she will get to Jeri’s request, but wants to find out that information that Antoine’s sister has on the crash before Luke finds out her involvement. This is a great episode for Malcolm as he is now clean, sober and out of Kilgrave’s control. He is taking his life more seriously now and will do anything for Jessica since she has been able to save him a second time. Wow, just wow is all I have to say to this point. Almost halfway through the series and I need more, at least for all of my questions to be answered, but there are still seven episodes left and I doubt they will keep me in the dark for too much longer.
