Rather unfortunately for Jessica Jones, she's not mentioned much, and the first major time she's referred to as Cage's "rebound girl" in the first episode who put a shotgun under his chin. It's amazing how that story has been reshaped by rumour.

In Episode 10, during Mariah's speech to the Harlem locals, she uses "that woman in Hell's Kitchen who snapped a man's neck because he was mind-controlling her" as an example of the danger posed by superheroes.

The suggestion is that some people don't believe the narrative of that story: of course that's the case, given the lay of the land after Civil War.

Mariah is definitely Team Iron Man in the post Superhero Registration world, which is particularly ironic, given that she appeared in Civil War as the mother of a victim of the Sokovian Incident.
