The defining horror of Kilgrave as a villain is not that he can destroy buildings or throw cars, but that he annihilates the victim's agency. In "AKA Take a Bloody Number," this reaches a fever pitch as Kilgrave experiments with a serum to boost his powers, testing them on innocent bystanders and forcing them to commit horrific acts with smiles on their faces.

In Episode 12, we see Jessica stripping away her defenses out of sheer necessity. She cannot afford to be detached anymore. Her heroism in this episode is defined by endurance. She is not a hero because she is strong enough to beat the villain in a fistfight; she is a hero because she continues to stand up and fight even when her mind and soul are being actively shredded by the monster hunting her.
