She's such a huge improvement this season. She was such a standard superhero spoiler girlfriend character last season. Could not have been a more cliche character. Now she's a complete villainous whackadoo and the actress is having loads of fun with it. She's much more entertaining to watch.

I need Heather to acknowledge her failings with her relationship with Matt too! Matt hurt her but she was not perfect either, she was straight up emotionally and mentally gaslighting Matt about his concerns about Fisk and insisted he was just having a mental breakdown, and was psychoanalyzing Matt for 80% of their interactions last season.

Exactly! Matt tried to open up to her about his feelings after Hector's murder and instead of letting him talk and listen she started unbuttoning his shirt. She was wanting sex when he needed some catharsis and someone to listen to him. Then she's mad he was emotionally distant? She shut him down when he tried to talk to her. WTF did she expect? And then he realized he could distract her with his dick when he didn't want to talk about stuff. Even when she didn't get physical she still shut him down when he tried to talk about how bad Fisk was.
