The seventh episode decides to head fully back into the past, showing us more of Jessica's life before Kilgrave and detailing how Alisa survived the car crash and was experimented on by Malus.

It's an interesting hour that deepens a number of key characters, and also has a few fun nods to the future/present. We learn that the name Alias Investigations comes from Jessica's then-boyfriend Stirling.

Best of all, though, was the origin story for a key piece of iconography: Jessica's trademark jacket, which, of course, she stole from a shop after being prompted to by Stirling. Hopefully Season 3 will show us how she came by that one pair of jeans.
