Marvel's The Defenders: 10 Ways It Sets Up The Next Phase
5. Jessica Jones Is Back In Business
Speaking of Jessica, Ms Jones is also moved into a slightly different place on the board at the end of the series compared to the start. While hers is something of a background character arc, Jess' experiences in The Defenders have clearly changed her for the better.
At the beginning of the series, Jessica is still reeling from her final showdown with Kilgrave at the end of Jessica Jones season one. Though she's gained a lot of fame, she isn't interested in taking any clients. Even though Trish is calling her a "superhero", Jess isn't buying it.
By the last time we see her in The Defenders, though, Jessica looks to have - at least inwardly - gained a newfound understanding of her role as a hero. For the first time in a long while, the Alias Investigations sign on her door is fixed and the office is getting spruced up. Just like Malcolm says in the scene, it almost looks like she's back in business. "Yeah, almost" admits Jessica.
