Jeri Hogarth, Jessica Jones

Jeri Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss)

Jeri is an attorney and potentially powerful ally to Jessica Jones, who hires Jessica for cases. In the beginning of season 1 it is quickly revealed that Jeri has an affair with her secretary, Pam. Jeri files for divorce from her wife, Wendy and proposes to Pam. Pam tells her the divorce needs to be finalized before they can move forward. When Jeri learns of Killgrave’s powers she decides to use them to get her wife to sign off on the divorce. Killgrave takes control of Wendy and forces her to kill Jeri. Right at this moment Pam comes looking for her and in the ensuing struggle Pam ends up killing Wendy. Jeri goes to visit Pam in jail but Pam has figured out why Killgrave was at her house and rejects her.
