History TearJerker / JessicaJones2015

* Jessica's mental status in general. The whole ordeal with Kilgrave has obviously taken a ''huge'' toll on her. This combined with the pain still lingering in her due to the death of her parents, which she never got over, and the above mentioned death of Whizzer makes her finally break down in tears at the end of the episode.

** While Kilgrave's FreudianExcuse doesn't even ''remotely'' excuse his actions, at the moment when [[spoiler: his father reminds him that he ordered his mother to brand herself with an iron,]] he screams "[[spoiler:I was ten! I had a tantrum like a normal child. I didn't know what I was doing, you didn't explain to me, you just left!]]" Kilgrave himself is on the verge of tears. For that moment, at least, you truly can feel sorry for the child, if not the monster he became.

* Kilgrave's reunion with [[spoiler: his parents]]. Despite his horrific life, he just wanted to reconnect with them, and is extremely vulnerable in a childlike way. [[spoiler: Then his mother understandably tries to murder him anyway]].

For that moment, at least, you truly can feel sorry for the child, if not the monster he became.

* Jessica is so frantic to catch Kilgrave that she's willing to intentionally [[spoiler: get herself locked up in Supermax]] on the slimmest chance it will lead to his capture. Especially sad because it's hinted that she just wants her struggle to be over one way or another.

** ....and Kilgrave's response to his mother? "Mum, for every year that you left me alone.....stab yourself."

* [[spoiler: Hope's HeroicSuicide. Just when she had just finally been released from prison and given a new chance at life, she cut her own throat to allow Jessica a chance at killing Kilgrave.]]

* Jessica and Kilgrave's argument involves dueling flashbacks to a moment on a rooftop. Kilgrave thinks that Jessica loved him and voluntarily stayed with him. Jessica points out that she was attempting to commit suicide and he interrupted her and almost made her cut her ears off.

** Kilgrave's response? [[spoiler: He orders his mother to stab herself to death.]]

* The fact that the car accident in which Jessica lost her family [[spoiler:happened because her dad took his eyes off the road to try and stop Jessica from arguing with her brother. The guilt Jessica feels from essentially ''causing'' the accident must be overwhelming. This isn't helped by the fact that Jessica's last interaction with her brother was an argument.]]

* He may have been a little creepy, but [[spoiler:Ruben did not deserve to die like that.]]
