** This also undoes his attempt to kill Kilgrave, when Kilgrave's mother gasps on seeing Luke charging towards them, alerting Killgrave.

* OhCrap: When Luke shows up out of nowhere at the end of the episode, still under Kilgrave's control.

* ScaryBlackMan: Luke tries to intimidate a landlady, but she is unfazed, up until he effortlessly picks her up and moves her aside.

Jessica and Luke Cage team up once again to find Kilgrave. Meanwhile, he tries to find ways to increase his power.

-->'''Kilgrave:''' [[IronicEcho I forgive you for everything and I’ll say it every day for as long as you need to hear it]]!

-->'''Jessica Jones:''' [[OhCrap You heard that?]]

!!Tropes:

* BoomHeadShot: How Jessica ends her fight in the climax in this episode. She grabs a cop's shotgun, presses it against Luke's head and pulls the trigger.

* FightingFromTheInside: Cage is visibly doing this throughout his and Jessica's fight. It's unsuccessful until he manages to freeze long enough to encourage her to shoot him. This is {{Foreshadowed}} from the first moment he's controlled by Kilgrave in the flashback to their meeting outside the restaurant where Hope killed herself. He follows every one of Kilgrave's commands, but there's always a brief, but significant, pause.
** When, before she goes down to confront Kilgrave, Luke warns her to "Keep her distance", does he mean from Kilgrave or from himself?
** He has notably less finesse than usual when fighting, telegraphing his blows and not properly redirecting the comparatively WeakButSkilled Jessica's hits and grapples. Which allows her to get some good hits in.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Kilgrave and his dad talk about how the time of his control has increased and before entering the club we see the kid Kilgrave told to stare at a fence still there, at least 24 hours later.

* TitleDrop: Courtesy of Kilgrave. When Cage expresses his desire for revenge, Killgrave says, "Take a bloody number!"

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When Jessica hides inside an office during their fight, Luke knows exactly where she'll be standing to ambush him when he comes through the door, so instead he grabs her right through the wall.

* WhamLine: Kilgrave: “I forgive you for everything and I’ll say it every day for as long as you need to hear it.”
** Further punctuated when Jessica asks if he heard Luke saying it. Kilgrave triumphantly declares, "I WROTE THAT!"

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Kilgrave and his dad talk about how the time of his control has increased and before entering the club we see the kid KIlgrave told to stare at a fence still there, at least 24 hours later.
