15. Mariah Kills Cottonmouth

Man, Cottonmouth is a great villain isn't he? He's dangerous, intimidating, but also really charismatic, and we're only halfway through the season... I can't wait to see where this goes.

Woah - Mariah just pushed him through a window. But he'll be fine, right?

OH F**K she's smashing his face to a pulp WTF?

Suffice to say, I did NOT see that coming. While Dillard was very obviously a power player, Cottonmouth was the main villain of the season up until that point, and looked set to join the ranks of Kingpin and Kilgrave.

Killing him off in just the seventh episode was a huge curveball, and not even the only big shock of that instalment.
