History Recap / JessicaJones2015S1E9AKASinBin

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: Kilgrave's childhood hero played for a university Rugby Team. College sports teams get little attention in Britain, unlike America. It's possibly justified as the parents were both professors, so Kilgrave grew up on the campus, immersed in school spirit.

* OhCrap: All over Kilgrave's face when he remembers he cannot control Jessica.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: Kilgrave's childhood hero played for a university Rugby Team. College sports teams get little attention in Britain, unlike America. It's possibly justified as the parents were both professors, so Kilgrave grew up in academia.

* OffingTheOffspring: Kilgrave's mother attempts this by trying to stab him in the neck with a pair of [[ShearMenace scissors]], in the hopes of correcting the mistake of giving him his powers. She is unsuccessful.

* OhCrap: All over Kilgrave's face when he realizes that he just ordered Jessica to let him go and she ''didn't do it''.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Once the Thompsons are unsuccessful in OffingTheOffspring, Kilgrave orders them to suicide. Mom does so, dad is knocked out by Jessica to stop it.

* FirstNameBasis: Having referred to him by his--fake--last name for most of the series, Jessica really enjoys calling him by his given name of Kevin.

* ExactWords: Kilgrave orders Trish to put a bullet in her head. Jessica gets Trish's compulsion to end by having Trish place the bullet in her mouth--effectively putting it in her head.

* BaitAndSwitch: Early on, Kilgrave tries to sweet-talk Hogarth into letting him out of the CDC vault where Jessica has him locked up. Since he can't exert his powers over a microphone, he can't compel Hogarth to let him loose. He instead tries to persuade her to let him out, claiming that someone of his abilities can be very useful to her by making problems "disappear". During his monologue, the camera pans over to the door leading into the vault and Hogarth begins to walk toward it...only to stop and turn on the video camera that Jessica had set up and say, "Repeat that for the camera."

* DealWithTheDevil: Hogarth was about to accept Kilgrave's offer in exchange of releasing him, but got interrupted when Jessica returns.
* EurekaMoment: Jessica digs up photos of the professors overseeing the Kevin project, and can't make any headway until she accidentally steps on one photo - leaving it scuffed in the same manner as the scars on a burn victim amongst the Kilgrave support group.
* ExactWords: Kilgrave orders Trish to put a bullet in her head. [[spoiler:Jessica gets Trish's compulsion to end by having Trish place the bullet in her mouth -- effectively putting it in her head.]]
* FirstNameBasis: Having referred to him by his--fake--last name for most of the series Jessica really enjoys calling him by his given name of Kevin.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Kilgrave commands Trish to put a bullet in her head. Thank god that gun was empty or someone would have a bad day.

* MythologyGag: When referring to his pills, Simpson tells his doctor "Give me a red", which was a line of dialogue taken straight from his first appearance in the ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' comics.

** For comic readers, anyway: confirming [[AdaptationNameChange Will]] Simpson as Nuke, a ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} villain.
-->'''Simpson:''' Give me a red.
** One that only works in audio form - one member of the Kilgrave support group has never spoken up, until Jessica starts goading her and she just goes "sorry, I've got to go." ''In an English accent''. [[spoiler: Just like the professors in charge of experimenting on Kilgrave as a child. Which was because they were his own parents... and the woman was ''his mother.'']]

* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Kilgrave commands Trish to put a bullet in her head. Fortunately her gun was empty.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Kilgrave's monologue about his "powers of persuasion" when trying to tempt Hogarth into freeing him is enough to convince her that he is what Jessica said he was. Hogarth had spent the entire series up to this point dismissing his powers as hearsay.
