History Recap / JessicaJones2015S1E10AKA1000Cuts

Kilgrave has escaped but in doing so he has revealed something he didn't want Jessica to know--she is immune to his powers.

!Tropes:

* DeathOfAThousandCuts: What Kilgrave tells Wendy to do to Jeri. She gets to about thirty cuts before she's stopped.
* ExactWords: On his way out Kilgrave tells Trish to put a bullet in her head. Luckily, the revolver was empty of rounds, but she tries to push a fired bullet in. Jessica is able to stop the compulsion by having Trish put a shell casing in her mouth which also counts as in her head.
* FightingFromTheInside: After her interrupted attempt at suicide, Jess demonstrates that, even under Kilgrave's control, she wants nothing to do with him.
--> '''Kilgrave:''' Why don't you listen to me?\\

* MeaningfulEcho: Hogarth echoes Kilgrave's "I didn't tell you to, you chose to do it".

-->'''Jeri Hogarth''': Shut up, Wendy.
-->'''Kilgrave''': No, ''you'' shut up!

* SelfServingMemory: Kilgrave's. He remembers a situation where Jessica willingly kissed him after the twelve hour period his orders work for. What actually happened was that Jessica tried to jump off (either to kill herself or escape him), but Kilgrave caught her on time and nearly had her cut an ear off with a knife.
* TapOnTheHead: A fatal case (Pam to Wendy) and a knockout-only one (Robyn to Jessica).

** Twice. The first time is when Jeri's wife asks how she could possibly get enough revenge to make up for her death by 1000 cuts ("All the little slices over the years, then the final stab, the secretary."). The next time is when Kilgrave orders her to go ahead and give Jeri a death by 1000 cuts.
** Also one for the WorkingTitle of the episode, when Robyn refers to the support group as a "kumbaya circle-jerk".

* WhamEpisode: Will Simpson goes insane and murders Clemons. Pam is arrested for the death of Wendy, who she killed defending Jeri, and then abandons Jeri for her manipulations. Hope commits HeroicSuicide, prompting Jessica to promise she will not simply arrest Kilgrave, but kill him.

* ExactWords: On his way out Kilgrave tells Trish to put a bullet in her head. Luckily, the revolver was empty of rounds, but she tries to push a fired bullet in, Jessica is able to stop the compulsion by having Trish put a shell casing in her mouth which also counts as in her head.

'''Jessica:''' To listen to someone else..

* ExactWords: On his way out Kilgrave tells Trish to put a bullet in her head, luckily the gun she had was empty so Jess finds her trying to push a bullet in, Jess is able to stop the compulsion by having Trish put the bullet in her mouth which also counts as in her head.

* HopeSpot: For about two seconds, they let us think that Kilgrave's father successfully developed an antidote to his MindRape powers.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Wendy nearly kills Jeri while under Kilgrave's control, and then is accidentally killed by Pam, Jeri's left sprawled on the floor and bleeding from several cuts, staring at her wife's corpse, utterly horrified by what her self-serving actions have ended up causing.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Although Jessica had a lot on her mind, not showing any sympathy toward Robyn causes her to be suspicious of Jessica even more. After overhearing Malcolm talk about Ruben's death, Robyn then blames Jessica for Ruben's death and leads the support group's rebellion against Jessica, knocks Jessica out, and then takes the duct tape off from Kilgrave (who she assumed was a victim). This leads to the support group and herself nearly being hanged on Kilgrave's command, along with Kilgrave's escape, Hope's suicide, and the likely death of Kilgrave's father.

** Twice. The first time is when Jeri's wife asks how she could possibly get enough revenge to make up for her death by 1000 cuts. The next time is when Kilgrave orders her to go ahead and give Jeri a death by 1000 cuts.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Jeri wanted to use Kilgrave to make her divorce go her way.

'''Jessica:''' To listen to someone else.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Jeri tries to use Kilgrave to make her divorce proceed smoothly, but never realized how he would interpret that.

* TitleDrop: Twice. The first time is when Jeri's wife asks how she could possibly get enough revenge to make up for her death by 1000 cuts. The next time is when Kilgrave orders her to go ahead and give Jeri a death by 1000 cuts.

This leads to the support group and her nearly being hanged on Kilgrave's command, along with Kilgrave's escape, Hope's suicide, and the likely death of Kilgrave's father. To be fair, Robyn was the only one who hadn't met Kilgrave yet.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Jeri tries to use Kilgrave to make her divorce proceed smoothly but never realized how he would interpret that.

* NoYou: While getting sewn up by Wendy after being brought to her house by Hogarth, Kilgrave expresses his disappointment at Jessica's reaction to his restoring her childhood home; just as Wendy is about to explain a NoodleIncident about Paris...
-->'''Hogarth''': Shut up, Wendy.
