Notes & Trivia[]

Allusions[]

  • Reference is made to Luke Cage in this episode. Cage is a bar owner and Jessica's former lover. He appeared last in "AKA You're a Winner!", which is where he learns that Jessica was responsible for the death of his wife, Reva Connors. After which, he called her a "piece of shit", which Jessica paraphrases at the beginning of this episode after she is kicked out of the bar.
  • The punch card that Jessica Jones gives to the homeless man is for Blimpie's. Blimpie's is a nation-wide sandwich shop founded in 1964. Like most sub-shops, it offers a frequent buyer incentive program in the form of a punch card. After so many purchases, the customer receives a free sandwich. In this case, the homeless man only needs to make two more purchases.
  • Police sergeant Brett Mahoney is actually a character seen on Marvel's Daredevil. He is the first character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Netflix stable of programs to cross from one show to another. This is his first appearance on Jessica Jones and his only appearance in season one.
  • A photograph of Marvel Comics pioneer Stan Lee can be seen hanging in the police station. His character is identified as Captain Irving Forbush. The character is named after a comedic figure named Irving Forbush, who worked as a gopher for "Marble Comics", which was a parody of Marvel Comics.
  • Roy Healy makes a joke to Jessica Jones about having Luke Cage's child. In the comic books, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage get married and give birth to a daughter named Danielle Cage.

Quotes[]

  • Kilgrave: You were the first person I ever wanted that walked away from me. You made me feel something I never felt before. Yearning. I actually missed you.

....

  • Jessica Jones: Tell him... Tell him the right people are gonna pay for what's been done. -asking to pass on this message to Luke Cage.
  • Roy Healy: You know what happens when you burn a bridge? You gotta learn to swim. Or *fly*.

....

  • Kilgrave: You were the first person I ever wanted that walked away from me. You made me feel something I never felt before. Yearning. I actually missed you.

....

  • Jessica Jones: You have been ruining my life...
  • Kilgrave: You didn't have a life.
  • Jessica Jones: ...as a demented declaration of love?
  • Kilgrave: No! Obviously, I was trying... to show you what I see. That I'm the only one who matches you. Who challenges you. Who'll do anything for you.
  • Jessica Jones: This is a sick joke. You have killed innocent people.
  • Kilgrave: Well, that... that... milquetoast little man-boy? He interrupted me while I was leaving you a present, which apparently you didn't even find. Come on! You cannot pretend he didn't irritate you, too. I wanted to slap him after thirty seconds!

....

  • Will Simpson: Oh, Trish... some people need to be removed from this Earth, and Kilgrave is one of 'em.
  • Trish Walker: We don't get to decide that. Killers decide that. That's what makes them killers.
  • Will Simpson: That is naive...
  • Trish Walker: And idealistic, and futile, but I want justice for my friend. For that girl in prison. For you and me. I want Kilgrave to live long and alone and despised until he wants to die, but can't. Because that's justice, and I'll fight like hell for it.
  • Will Simpson: Wow. You just need a flag and a horse.
  • Trish Walker: I'd look goddamn good on it.

....

  • Jessica Jones: No matter where I am, even if I'm behind bars, if you try anything I will find out, I will come for you, and it will hurt.

....

  • Jessica Jones: Now... what do I have to do to get locked up in Supermax by nightfall?
  • Jeri Hogarth: Are you telling me that you're planning to commit a crime? Because I would be obligated to report that.
  • Jessica Jones: What would it take?
  • Jeri Hogarth: All right. Supermax only houses the worst criminals. Top-shelf perverts, cannibals, serial killers who make mosaics with their victims' fingernails.
  • Jessica Jones: Well, that's... very specific.

....

  • Jessica Jones: Do you know what shame feels like, Wendy?
  • Wendy Ross-Hogarth: Of course.
  • Jessica Jones: No, I mean real shame, Wendy. You know, when you've done something... You've hurt, disgusted someone so completely... that you can see it in their eyes. The black, oozing shit inside you. You sweat it through your skin but it keeps spreading... until you would do anything... not to feel it. Anything.
