Every time we leave New York for some small town, we wind up in a house of horrors.

See: season ones jaunt to Jesss childhood home, occupied by Kilgrave and a bunch of his prisoners.

(Always meet your deadlines, kids!)

Eric is a gambler in debt, and he meant to handle said debt by blackmailing people.

I want to believe that this season is going to pick up, because I thoroughly enjoy this show.

But, like: Seriously, this dudes superpower is just … getting a migraine around assholes?

How is that even a power?

And he doesnt even knowwhatbad thing they do justthatthey do bad things?

There are a lot of shitty people out there.

Theres no reason for us to double up, Jess (not incorrectly) tells Trish.

Go find your own bad guy.

I dont need your help and you dont need mine, okay?

She leaves him with a try not to get murdered and I hope we never see him again.

Trish thinks Sal sent the stabber; she says as much to Jess, who is extremely not interested.

So Trish breaks into Malcolms office to … send him to Sal?

What is she even DOING there?

She just wants everyone to know she can do parkour now.

She is the most annoying, I swear to the Marvel gods.

But Trish was following him, so she shows up to save the day.

This is mostly successful, with one teeny catch: She accidentally impales Sal on a shovel andalmostkills her.

Without Eric, Jess goes to door number three and meets Gregory Salinger, the stabber.

(IS HE RELATED TO PEACH SALINGER?Inquiring TV-Salinger obsessives want to know!)

I cant believe Jess got stabbed by this fuckin nerd.

He shows up and reports that his thing is hurting powered people.

Like your standard-issue incel, what he really wants is RESPECT from the likes of Jessica Jones.

This is … one way to go about it, I guess.

Then he calls 911 and fake-sobs that Jess is attacking him, so Jess splits.

What a top-notch guy.

Meanwhile, Jeri has someone come by to give her place an ALS-proofing.

Her story line is so quiet and intense, but Im loving it.

(Hogarths response: If I want to be insulted, Ill call Jessica.)

Hogarth tries to just win Kith away from her husband one last time, but that marriage is unbreakable.

I cant imagine her beloved will like hermorewhen all this is over.

Also, those gloved-hand close-ups of Salinger are giving me realPretty Little Liarsflashbacks.
