Definitely a loose end, although I'm kind of glad? Alias was quite a contained story, and I was worried they'd wrap JJ up with a neat bow and ignore Jessica until The Defenders, but they're clearly setting up for JJ season two. Which = yay!
So I think we won't see Simpson again until JJ season two, which will focus on IGH or whatever it was called, as Trish looks into Jessica's accident and how she got her powers. Likely, Simpson will be a major antagonist in that series. We see right up until the second before impact of Jessica's accident in season one, so I'm guessing we'll see the accident itself and its immediate fallout. (They could even potentially tie it to DD, if the chemicals that affected Matt in his accident were from IGH). And maybe we'll even get some extra shady stuff about Trish's mother? I mean, adopting Jessica just because she and Trish attend the same school is a pretty major thing to do, especially since Trish says she doesn't know Jessica. And Mama Walker's certainly been shown to work all angles and do things that benefit her whilst spinning them as being charitable towards someone else - she could easily have ulterior motives for adopting Jessica beyond what the show put forth.
I don't know, this is all guesswork, I'm just excited that Netflix is confident enough in JJ to set up the next story - too many studios assume female-led shows/movies won't do well enough to warrant sequels.
(And I like that they set up Simpson as a 'Steve Rogers lookalike gone crazy on super serum', compared to on Agent Carter where Thompson is a 'Steve Rogers lookalike gone asshole on his own glory'.)
