Re: Did they forget Trish know how to fight?

I honestly don't remember much of the scenes that you're referring to. But, yeah, I definitely expected her to offer to help/demand in - it's well within her character, kind of happened before and seemed to be the whole reason why she started taking lessons in the first place.

The way I envision it, Jessica would flat-out refuse (also well within the character), and then maybe the attack that you're referring to would happen, Trish would be startled and wouldn't know what to do - reminding us all that a few months martial art training doesn't make you into a superhero - and Jessica would have a particularly stron argument as to why Trish should shut up and let others handle this - which does actually finally shut Trish up.

so eah, maybe they did actually forget. Or they just resigned from addressing it, like many other issues, so that they can fit it all into eight episodes and tell each other that they focused on the main story.
