SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for "Jessica Jones" #2, which is on sale now.
Danielle is safe and with Jessica's seldom seen mother. While Jessica's parents were killed in the accident that gave her powers, she was adopted and raised by Mr. and Mrs. Jones. And if you're surprised to learn that Jessica still has a relationship with her adoptive mother, that's because Mrs. Jones was last seen seven years ago in "New Avengers" #60. She's not exactly a regular member of Jess' supporting cast.
The issue also features a big step forward for Dani Cage, as Jessica sees her walking (or rather "falling forward") for the first time.
But that's not the only big development in this issue. The issue ends with the surprise reveal that the one client Jessica took on since leaving jail has been mysteriously killed. While Jones is on the phone with the detectives, though, she faces the sneakiest of sneak attacks -- courtesy of Spot.
Spot, a superhuman criminal with the ability to create numerous teleportation portals, debuted back in 1985's "Spectacular Spider-Man" #97. He menaced the wall-crawler for one storyarc before disappearing for a dozen years. The character, initially regarded as a one-off joke, was used sparingly for the next few years before he became a more serious threat in 2009's "Amazing Spider-Man" #589. Spot was recently seen in a 2013 "Daredevil" two-parter as a pawn of the sadistic mastermind known as Coyote, who used his teleportation powers for human trafficking.
Over the decades, Spot's grown in prominence and also grown as a threat for heroes. The way he easily takes out and kidnaps Jessica Jones in this issue, as seen below, proves that Jones will have her hands full with this villain.
It's still not known what larger role Spot plays in the unfolding story. He could easily be just a henchman of a larger, still unseen enemy; he could also be the primary antagonist for this storyline. All that's known is that Spot is back, and he's not playing around.
"Jessica Jones" #3 arrives on December 14.
