Now knowing Dr. Karl and "Hansen" seem to be together, Jessica has more to go on with this episode of Jessica Jones.
Picking up right where we left off, Karl and "Hansen" run off as Jessica notices a nearby store with security cameras, but it's closed. Her phone wet, she buys rice from another store to dry it out and finds a tabloid magazine talking about Trish's breakup. She heads back to her apartment, but deciding she doesn't want to be alone, heads to Oscar's apartment, where he shares that he wasn't a great husband before but it better now, and the two hook up. Trish, emboldened by her new strength, is searching the streets in the meantime, staring down a man who turns out to be a normal guy. To her pleasure, a woman on the bus she's on says a man touched her, so she rushes over and kicks him out. Waking up, Jessica finds Oscar is painting a picture of her and rushes back to the office. Malcolm cracks jokes before pointing out to her the ring on Karl's finger, which she previously circled on a picture she took, is a class ring, from his college. Inez finally tells Hogarth about IGH after receiving supplies like clothes, but says that while IGH was creating an advanced healing process through illegal means, she doesn't know what the process was or any people, because she was told nothing. Jessica meets Trish outside the store from the episode's beginning, where they manage to coax the owner into showing them the camera, with Jessica having to keep the aggressive Trish in check. The footage reveals that Karl had to sedate "Hansen" to get her in the car, and Jessica thinks he likely tranquilizes her to use as a weapon. At his old college, Malcolm meets up with his ex, who initially gives him the cold shoulder, not believing his past stories about Killgrave. She finally relents and gives him a hug, at which point he swipes her student ID. Back at the apartment, Jessica is confused on the phone with Hogarth, learning of Inez staying with her, and says there seems to be something on Benowitz regarding chocolate bars. Hogarth gives her a day to figure things out, saying she doesn't care if Inez has to live in a cardboard box, which the latter overhears. Upset, Inez rifles through Hogarth's drawers to find things to pawn, but stops when she finds and recognizes Hogarth's ALS medication. Malcolm shows Jess a yearbook from his school which has a photo of Dr. Karl, and comforts the ravenous Trish as Jessica searches for dirt on Karl. Jess tells Malcolm to punch out, and after Trish swears seemingly at one of them, she says not to encourage Malcolm, who she says has a crush on Trish. Despite finding no address for Dr. Karl, Jessica finds a record of the pantyhose company Ambyhose paying for different things for Karl. She calls a golf club the Ambyhose owner, Justis Ambrose, belongs to, and discovers he is there. The golf club's security keeps them out, but Trish makes a scene, saying she's offended about them having sexist member policies and giving Jess time to get in. Jessica finds Ambrose and learns that his company has been funding small expenses for Karl ever since the doctor cured his son of craniofacial dysostosis, which had initially left people believing he would die by age five. Trish suddenly becomes ill from needing the inhalant, and Jessica heads out to her when Ambrose refuses to tell her where Karl is, saying she is wrong about him. He soon gives Karl a call, and the doctor is shown to be caring for "Hansen," who is chained up in his basement. Jess puts Trish to bed, but the latter leaps up to search for the inhalant, which Malcolm discovers in a jacket she left at the office. Back at Hogarth's, Inez reveals what she was going to do and says that while she didn't know everything at IGH, she knew of a boy who could heal people. Though it didn't always work and made him sick to do, he is the reason she can even walk. While Jessica finds Oscar's painting and has to deal with what to do with it, Malcolm heads to Trish's, where the latter has another strong reaction to the inhalant. Jessica finds Ambrose's son and uses him as a bargaining chip to find Karl, and brings the episode to a close after making a shocking discovery at his house. This episode continues a new trend of flipping Trish and Jessica's normal roles with one another since Trish became addicted to the inhalant. I's rather cringey to see the way Trish is acting now, since she now has the power to do things she couldn't before. On the other hand, it's nice to see the calmer, more level-headed Jessica, who seems to know something is up with Trish but won't push to find out what. She's more open with those around her and as a result is doing better then before, though obviously she is still rough with targets of interest. Obviously it's still hard for Jessica to be this way, as despite spending a night with Oscar, she is uncomfortable with his painting. It is clear she likes Oscar, but her experiences with Killgrave has caused her to fear opening up to people, as they might hurt her in the long run. Hogarth's situation has taken an interesting turn with the revelation of a boy who can heal with his hands. As someone who never had a lot of access to comics and had to learn through shows, moves, and the internet, I don't have a guess who it is. In a way I like this however, as knowing too much about where a show or movie is heading leads to less entertainment and tension, and I'm interested to see who will be introduced. Though not for sure, it also seems as though something may be budding between Hogarth and Inez. Though Hogarth views Inez with contempt, they've been closer and seen more of each other than people typically do, and Jessica and Oscar started out with similar disliking earlier this season. It's good to see Malcolm improving further from his beginning as a drug-addicted slave, and while he hasn't said anything about thinking something is up with Trish to either her or Jessica, it's obvious he has suspicions. With the discovery she made this episode, Jessica's will become tens of times more complicated than it even was before in future episodes.
