[[quoteblock]]This isn\'t what the Contrived Coincidence trope is, though; Contrived Coincidence is when something extremely coincidental happens to further the plot without any kind of outside justification, the justification here is very direct (Robyn was suspicious of Malcolm, followed him, and got information that infuriated her and lead to the attack).

Except that Robyn following Malcolm and inciting the other members of the support group \\\'\\\'is an incident\\\'\\\' that occurs without outside justification. Nothing about them showing up at the same time Kilgrave is taken captive is justified as a consequence of earlier events. Kilgrave showed up on Jessica\\\'s doorstep and had pretty much wrapped up the entire goal of the series (Hope\\\'s release), which had nothing at all to do with the subplot with Robyn. His decision to show up then, him being captured, and Robyn learning of her brother\\\'s death at the same time that the support group is becoming disillusioned with Jessica are things which do not follow one-another and yet all just happen to coincide at once in a manner that keeps the plot going.
