lmao, so nsm of all people retained information daredevil told him about long enough to tell his wife. the information was concerning some guy he had never met and has never seemed to recognize throughout this arc. also, killgrave could just take the sheet off. it isn't secured in any way.

Well I mean that is basically how I would react if someone threw a sheet over me.

That's not crazy that's just how you react when somebody throws stuff at you.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

a disoriented kilgrave stumbles off the roof and as the sheet flies off him he commands MJ, Peter and Luke to take a swan dive themselves. All plummet to their deaths.

And when would Peter have asked him? He didn't seem to know who Kilgrave was or what his powers were before they met, and since then he's been mind controlled the whole time.

This one strip introduces more plotholes than it has panels. It's really impressive.

The One True Oden

So Daredevil, who Pete only met last week, just happened to tell him about the secret weakness of Killgrave, and Pete then told it to MJ? It had to be before they ever met Killgrave, Pete has been mind-controlled since then.

"Hey if you ever run into a guy with purple skin and mind control powers, his weakness is these special sheets they store at the Armory in Harlem. Just a fun fact I learned from a new lawyer friend."

Killgrave has two powers:
1) Mind-control voice
2) Removing sheets

The sheet blocks both powers.

Any way you slice it he met Daredevil more than a week ago, but NSM time is weird, as we saw with last storyline taking place over a couple of days and also from May to October.

Actually, that explains everything: since 24 hours pass between each strip, Peter met Kilgrave and got mind controlled by him the next day. In between, he had plenty of time to meet up with Daredevil to ask him Kilgrave's weakness, and then get back to MJ with it.

This also means that those cops stood there for like three days straight waiting for Peter to kill them, and then Kilgrave realized he wasn't going to do it.

I guess it makes some amount of sense that they’d put the special sheet that blocks his powers next to the chemical that causes them.

If you wrap Kilgrave's head into an airtight plastic foil, this blocks his voice-based power by preventing him from vocalizing! His weakness is that he needs air to speak. Now he's going to hibernate, as purple people are wont to do when they can't speak.

They're making this all up on the spot, it could be literally anything ANYTHING. Why would the writer choose a plastic sheet?

because it is a reference to an ancient daredevil comic that no one here has read in which purple man's powers worked in a completely different way

If it seems weirder than normal it's actually a multidecade callback, like the Ronan hibernation thing.

I loving love how this arc started with Killgrave having off-screen, instantly-cleared amnesia and ended with a nonsense solution from an off-screen conversation that (APPARENTLY) references a decades old weakness

astonishing displays of storytelling

Killgrave's weakness is that he is part cat. Really any kind of covering or container on his head is going to cause him to freak out and run around in backwards circles.
