This episode was so good that it makes me feel bad for ever rating anything else a 10! For me, it's not just an 11, it's at least a 15!!! The episode reminded me of the episode of Dexter where he visits the home of Trinity. Truly incredible. But enough raving, here's why it was awesome.
After Kilgrave's monologue last episode, I thought he wouldn't be as menacing now that we know about his weakness for Jessica. But they immediately make him threatening again by upping the creep factor. He reproduces Jessica's childhood home as an attempt to woo her. We think there is no chance in hell that she'll ever work with him, but as we learn more about Kilgrave and Jessica's respective pasts, his offer is increasingly tempting. The role of his character in the show completely evolved in this episode, and I love that they're varying it up. Daredevil got a bit repetitive towards the end.
As usual, the episode ends with a couple shocks. David Tennant continues to kill it as Kilgrave. His performance gets more nuanced with every episode. He steals every scene he's in, and he's in almost every scene of this episode.
