iZombie - The Hurt Stalker

All the evidence in the death of a wedding planner (Lola St.Vil) who used to date and stalk police officers leads the department to believe Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin) is responsible. Chowing down on the dead girl’s brains doesn’t help Liv‘s (Rose McIver) love life as she becomes increasingly suspicious and jealous of any woman in Major‘s (Robert Buckley) life, but it does help solve the case (even if it means a short stint in prison where her brain-hunger almost causes severe problems for her annoying cell mate).

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Closure

Ward (Brett Dalton) killing Rosalind Price (Constance Zimmer) and Gideon Malick‘s (Powers Boothe) plans to re-open a portal shift the focus of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. back to Hydra as the show heads into next week’s fall finale. Angering Coulson (Clark Gregg) and tricking him into putting Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) into harms way allows the villain to capture his former teammates and force their cooperation in Malick’s plans. Although Simmons is under the impression Hydra wants to bring back the unseen force from the planet on which she was stranded, and knowing how the show’s writers think after two and a half seasons, I’m betting Will (Dillon Casey) turns out to actually be Hydra’s secret weapon just waiting to be transported home.

Jessica Jones - AKA It's Called Whiskey

As Jessica (Krysten Ritter) attempts to get the drugs she needs to stop Kilgrave (David Tennant) and orders Jeri Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss) to take defending Hope (Erin Moriarty) more seriously she reacts in horror to Hogarth and Trish‘s (Rachael Taylor) plan to get their client to go public on air with her story. As expected, Kilgrave responds, first over the air and then by sending a police officer to put a bullet in Trish’s brain. In an episode that showcases the villain’s actual and psychological power over his victims it also introduces some limitations to his powers. He’s unable to compel anyone to do his bidding over the airwaves and, as Jessica is able to take advantage of on two separate opportunities here, the literal interpretations of his commands can be used to break his temporary control of his victims.

While confronting the scientist (Alex Wyse) who was duped into creating and weaponizing the virus, John is infected and struggles to stay alive long enough to stop the terrorist (Madeline Zima) from killing hundreds of more victims including the President of the United States.
