For those hording toilet paper

The first season of Jessica Jones does give us an exact, tragic understanding of what chaos and visceral traumatic horrors Kilgrave leaves behind. I have a brief write-up thrown together but a key scene that speaks volumes of Kilgrave's devastating actions is when he leaves behind Wendy to get her "1000 cuts" (which, not surprisingly, is the name of the episode). Wendy would still be alive had Jeri never brought Kilgrave into her presence. Factors that built to Wendy lying dead, her head having been slugged from behind by Pam who was protecting Jeri from the continued slices of a blade, eventually slamming into the corner of a living room glass table, further emphasize how dangerous Kilgrave is. No matter how Jessica tries to minimize Kilgrave's spree of dead bodies left behind, there are those that intercept her intentions. Jeri's actions--relying on Kilgrave to secure her divorce, results in his freedom, Wendy's death, Pam's inadvertent involvement in Wendy's demise, and the potential danger of Kilgrave's father for whom is now his next target--initiate a trail of damage (including her own injuries as a result of Kilgrave turning Wendy loose on her for adultery with Pam) Jessica cannot necessarily stop.

When Jessica tells Hogarth she's on her own, it leaves behind a bit of a gulp to me. The "you made your bed now lie in it" sort of remark that Jessica understandably leaves behind implicates Jeri for her own selfishness, the aftermath of her own making. Each of us making decisions that have their own repercussions, Jeri did as well, and Wendy's death [and Kilgrave's release into the world again] is a direct result of that.
