Plot:Jennifer Walters (Jenny Slate) lays face-down dying on an operating table, doctors surrounding her. Her father Morris (Michael Richards) rushes in but is turned away by nurses. Finally, Dr. John Jameson (Finn Wittrock) makes his calm-and-collected entrance and looks in control.
The camera pans under Jennifer’s face as time stops. She opens her eyes and speaks directly to the camera: “Look, I know this is a lot to throw you into right away. How do you think I feel?! It’s certainly not my most flattering angle! I would tell you my life story but this bullet in my head isn’t doing too good for my memory. So here’s what I’ve got…”
A younger Jen sits with her mom Sheila (Fiona Shaw) in her parents’ home, anticipating news. Finally, her father enters and tells them the results. She’s pregnant! Jen and Sheila look at him with a blank stare. He laughs at his own joke and then says that she passed the Bar Exam. She’s now a lawyer. They all celebrate.
“This was my dream job. That’s a bit nerdy, I know. My dad is one of the top law enforcement officials in New York City so I’d always been around law-and-order. But I knew I wanted to be a public defender and help my common man and woman.”
Jen sits bored out of her mind going through paperwork alongside Mary MacPherran (Phoebe-Waller Bridge), her co-worker and best friend. Jen is trying to get work done but she is too busy holding back laughter as Mary recounts her latest failed date. They are interrupted by Phil Leibovitz (Richard Kind), the head lawyer at their firm. He informs Jen that she has been assigned a new case. The folder reads “Danger Man” and she and Mary exchange puzzled looks.
“It’s still my dream job! I’m just willing to work my way up, that’s all. And, yeah, my dating life hasn’t been great, either.”
Jen sits at a restaurant table with a date (Zach Woods) across from her. An older lady waitress approaches and asks if they’ve left room for dessert - their pecan pie here is delicious. Her date is open to it and suggests they have it. Jen responds by saying that she is allergic to nuts. After a beat, she changes to an attempted sexy voice and says “well...not all nuts” with a devious smile. Instead of being turned on, her straight-laced date becomes immediately blushed with embarrassed with the waitress standing right there. In the awkward silence, Jen turns to the camera with near delight at her clumsiness.
“So that was my life. That was my life until…”
Jen wakes up in a hospital bed with Morris and Mary by her side. They are both happy to see her alert and catches her up on what happened. Her and her mother were attacked on the sidewalk on their way home from dinner. Despite multiple gunshot wounds, Jen received a major blood transfusion and her doctors were able to keep her stable. Jen’s first reaction is to ask where her mom is, which brings Morris to the verge of tears. He shakes his head no and tells her that she is still in a coma.
In the stunned silence, Mary tries to break the tension by saying that - on the bright side - Jen’s surgeon was hot. The silence continues and Mary looks around as if she never said anything. Morris excuses himself from the room, after which Dr. Jameson then enters and Jen turns to the camera: “She wasn’t wrong!”
He says he is glad to see Jen awake. He tells her that she was one of the most serious cases he’s ever faced but they made it. And now for some news: Jen is making exceptional, near unprecedented, progress in her recovery and could be free to go in a couple of days time. When he leaves, Jen has minor freakout - telling her why she didn’t say that her surgeon was John Jameson, one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. Mary excuses herself by saying she doesn’t read the gossip columns as much as Jen does. Jen says she can’t believe she had Dr. John freaking Jameson’s hands inside of her.
When she gets out of the Hospital, her first move is to visit her comatose mother. While no words are spoken between the two, Jen shares a tender moment with her best friend. At the hospital, Dr. Jameson reviews Jen’s medical files and finds that the blood used in the transfusion contained high amounts of gamma radiation - something he must have missed the first time around. He decides to keep this to himself.
At her mother’s burial, Jen’s mind is racing. She is wondering if there was anything she could have done to prevent this. In a mixture of agony and anger, she lets out a scream. By the end of it, she finds herself a foot taller, much more muscular, and with green skin. And, oh yeah, she has outgrown her clothes and must scurry to cover herself up at her own mother’s funeral. Time stands still as the handful of people there turn their heads at Jen, who turns her head to the camera.
“So...here we are.”
After a beat, time resumes and Morris asks “What the fuck?!?”.

She-Hulk - Issue #2

Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Michael Richards .... Morris Walters
Richard Kind .... Phil Leibovitz
Kate Walsh .... Mallory
Plot: At the cemetery, Jennifer (Jenny Slate) stands half-naked in front of her father Morris (Michael Richards), her best friend Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), and a handful of close family members. She is now of Amazonian size with green skin. Unsure of what to do, she hurries to her car. Morris, being the police veteran he is, intructs everyone there to keep this to themselves and they will try to figure out what happened. Adding on to her embarrassment, Jen finds herself unable to fit into the car so then she just starts running away.
By the time she reaches a secluded area, she has transformed back into herself and begins to cry over ruining her mom’s funeral. She calls Mary, who picks her up to take Jen back to her house. Every time Mary tries to ask something, Jen cuts her off and says she doesn’t want to talk about. It’s a one time thing and she is ready to get back to normal life.
The next day, Jen arrives at work for the first time since the attack. Leibovitz (Richard Kind) invites her back with open arms, despite having never liked her in the past. He reminds her of the case she was assigned and asks if she still up for it and she says she is. He tells her it will likely be against Mallory Book. From the other side of the room, Mary goes “oooooooo” before Phil whips his head over in her direction and she gets back to work. Jen looks to the camera...
“Ugh, Mallory Book…” Jen’s narration talks over a framed picture of Mallory (Kate Walsh). “Former Miss America AND a successful lawyer. Seriously, how is that even allowed? The face that never lost a case, they call her. Not to mention one of my biggest “rivals” in the courtroom. But only in the way that New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills are rivals....one side might always win but at least they play each other a lot, right? She’s over there living it up at Goodman, Liever, Kurtzberg & Holliway and here I am with Phil freaking Leibovitz. Why God, WHY?”
Jen gives a fake smile and says she’ll get right on it. Mary hurries to look over her shoulder on the new case. The man is named Daniel Jermaine (Brendan Fraser). A former safety inspector for Roxxon Energy, he accidentally fell into a vat of chemicals. Surprisingly, he didn’t die. Mary perks up, saying this is getting juicy. Instead, Dan emerged from the vat bigger than before and with superhuman strength. Mary asks if it says that he turned green, giving Jen a nudge. He is now suing Roxxon because of the burdens his new powers have put on his life.
“A superhero unhappy with being a superhero? Ok….”
Mary asks if Jen has ever worked on superhuman law and she says that she has not - it is a very occurrence as is. She schedules an appointment to meet with Dan at his home to get to the bottom of his concerns.
Morris has lunch with his daughter, where she apologizes profusely for the incident at mom’s funeral. He says he knows that - whatever it was - was not her fault at all. He tells her that he is going to start looking into the attack on her and her mother as he thinks it might be related to his time as a police officer. She shuts him down and says that he JUST retired. She wants him to enjoy retirement, not get bogged down in stuff like that. She’ll look into it herself - as far as detective skills go, she learned from the best. He smiles and says she’ll do that while he’ll try to figure out what that whole green thing was about.
The next day, Jen goes to the bank to make a deposit during her lunch hour. While in their, a group of masked robbers enter and say they are holding the place up. Jen, finding herself scared shitless and right by the bathroom, slips into the Ladies Room under the assumption that all of the robbers are male. Instead of being in and out, it becomes a prolonged ordeal as police promptly arrive.
Jen, in the bathroom, is freaking out over being late to work. She spots a window and decides that she is going to try to climb out of it. As she does, she stubs her toe, causing her a brief spurt of pain. Before she knows it, she is big and green again and stuck in the window that she is too big for. This commotion causes the robbers to come in and check and be utterly confused by what they are witnessing. She uses her newfound strength to just break the window and turns around to face the robbers - again needing to cover herself up.
The robbers don’t know what to say so they just point their guns at her and tell her to join the other hostages. When they get out there, they find that the hostages have started escaping so they start to shoot at them and Jen. However, Jen’s bullet wound is recovers remarkably fast again. She looks to the camera: “I think this means I have to save the day even though I’ve never even hit a fly before…”
She throws a weak throw at each of the robbers but even her weak punch is stronger than a bodybuilder’s. Both men are knocked out instantly so she picks them up and carries them out to the police, all the while still covering herself up. The police thank her for her efforts and she says no problem. However, beyond the police, she finds that paparazzi and reporters have picked on the situation - causing her to hurry out of there just as she did at the funeral.
One of the paparazzi members, Geoff (Eric Andre), walks away and sends the pictures he took to a contact in his phone named ‘JJJ’. JJJ says this gold, front page stuff. “Bigfootella - like Bigfoot but feminine”. The reporter texts back and says that won’t click. “The She-Hulk, maybe?”. JJJ says he doesn’t know what that means but he likes it.
Later that day, the front page of the Daily Bugle, an online tabloid outlet, heavily features a picture of half-naked green Jen emerging from the bank. “The Savage She-Hulk Spotted in Queens!” it reads.

She-Hulk - Issue #3
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Director: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Kate Walsh .... Mallory
Domenick Lombardozzi .... Dan Jermain / Danger Man
Plot: As Petula Clark’s ‘Downtown’ plays, Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and Jen (Jenny Slate) shop at various high-end clothing stores but in their ‘Big & Tall’ sections. Finally, Jen comes to realization that she should try to find some kind of stretchable clothing that will fit both normal her and green her. Mary corrects her and says ‘She-Hulk’. Jen looks to the camera:
“I really hope that doesn’t stick.”
In Jen’s apartment, Jen and Mary talk about the whole She-Hulk thing, now that they know it wasn’t a one-time occurence. At this point, they only know it can be triggered when Jen is scared or angry so they try to prompt it to test out the powers. When she transforms, they test out her powers - discovering that she has incredible strength (obviously), speed, and stamina.
They discover that she only has some say in when she can transform back to human form. When she does, Mary talks about all the exciting possibilities, mostly ways to move up in society now that she is becoming a celebrity. She even suggests that maybe she take a walk on the wild side, and use this animalistic persona to break some rules. Jen says she wants to keep it simple for now. So how about a little fun?
A montage begins of She-Hulk trying out her powers in public, doing things like saving cats from trees (while accidentally splitting the tree in half). Subsequently, she is becoming a sex symbol in the tabloids. Her and Mary then hit the clubs and party it up while she is in her Hulk form and has an incredible alcohol tolerance. She-Hulk is a big hit with the clubgoers and she ends up meeting a cute guy. She asks Mary if she can leave with him and Mary insists - she can’t remember the last time Jen has a met a guy at the club.
Hungover in her office, Jen is googling the symptoms of alcohol poising. She is starting to do preliminary research into the attack on her and her mom. With no footage or eyewitnesses, the police detectives are having a difficult time coming up with any solid data. Meanwhile, in comes her newest client, Dan Jermain (Domenick Lombardozzi) AKA Danger Man. Dan is hulking in size, with a radiating glow around him from the chemicals, but otherwise a normal guy. He lays out his issues at the moment. Ever since the accident, he has not been able to live a normal life. Everywhere he goes, people stare at him. Or even worse, they look away because they don’t want to stare.
To make matters worse, his insurance doesn’t cover superhuman damages - few do. Not only that, but because of the dangers he now faces as a superhuman, they have canceled his health and life insurances. Not only is his public life different but his life at home has been changed, too. On the verge of tears, he says he wishes he would have just died in the accident so at least his family would have received the life insurance payment. Jen is clearly touched by his story and says that she will work her hardest to get him the money he owed him.
After Dan leaves, Jen receives a call from Mallory Book (Kate Walsh), the attorney for Roxxon in this case. Mallory tells Jen to really think about this case and ask herself if it is worth another losing effort. Someone angry that they gained superpowers? Come on. Mallory mentions recent surveys that have shown a sizable amount of the public who responded that they were envious of superhumans. Hell, Mallory says, Jen herself probably wants to be superhuman. Jen stays mostly silent and says that the case is moving forward whether Mallory likes it or not.
After the phone call, Mary tells Jen that She-Hulk’s night on the town is all over the tabloids. She then asks how the meeting went. She says that she is still struggling with understanding why Dan’s powers are burdensome to him. She admits that the...fine, she’ll say it, “She-Hulk” makes her feel so invigorated and like a new person. Why would you ever want to go back to being vulnerable? Mary says that vulnerability isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It makes one feel human, a part of this world instead of above it.
Jen tells Mary that she doesn’t understand (which prompts Mary to murmur to herself that she wish did). When turns into She-Hulk, she doesn’t feel like regular ol’ Jennifer anymore. She feels like a brand new person - the person she had always aspired to be. It’s as if the old Jennifer is -. She stops mid-sentence as if a lightbulb goes off. Mary looks concerned and tells Jen she better not be thinking of suicide. Jen shakes her head no and says she thinks she figured out the winning path in Dan’s case.

Kate Walsh .... Mallory
Finn Wittrock .... Dr. John Jameson
Eric Andre .... Paparazzi Geoff
Richard Kind .... Phil Leibovitz
Domenick Lombardozzi .... Dan Jermain / Danger Man
Sanaa Lathan .... Lori Jermain
Storm Reid .... Veronica Jermain
Plot: Dan Jermain (Domenick Lombardozzi) sits on a bus home, taking up three seats and prompting those around him to move - afraid they might get contaminated by his radiation. When he gets home from work, he tries to do some normal tasks around the house just to feel normal again. Not longer after, his daughter Veronica (Storm Reid) gets dropped off by her friends. Dan peaks out the window at them and waves but soon realizes that his newfound super sense of hearing can pick up on their conversation. He hears them making fun of what a freak Veronica’s dad has become, while another friend comments that she finds it kind of hot. Veronica hightails it out of there and, when she gets inside, makes a beeline for her room (totally ignoring Dan).
There is an air of silence at the dinner table later that night with Veronica, Dan, and his wife Lori (Sanaa Lathan). Lori asks how the lawyer proceedings are going and Dan says he likes his attorney. Lori grows snippy, saying she didn’t know it was a her and wondering if he meant he “liked her, liked her”. This makes Dan angry and he starts to freak out. Veronica storms off, which she was going to do anyways. Lori tries to calm him down, mentioning how the doctor said he would literally melt if he became too angry.
Later that night, we find that Lori is preparing from bed and Dan enters. When he takes off his shirt, she feels his skin to see if it is anywhere back to normal. She asks if he is going to sleep in here tonight but he says he’ll do the guestroom again. She asks if it was because of the fight earlier but he reminds her of the last time he slept in the same bed as her and almost crushed her in his sleep when he rolled over. They go their separate ways. While in bed, Lori makes a routine nightly phonecall to a friend. She starts to cry, opening up about her insecurities and worries about Dan now that he is superhuman. Not only is she worried for his health but she is also worried that he is going to be more likely to cheat on him with a new fan or go join a superhero team and leave her and Veronica behind.
The next morning, Dan’s family are eating a Saturday morning breakfast when they hear a knock on the door. It is Jen. Dan invites her in and Jen tells them not to be alarmed with what she is about to show them. And she reminds them of lawyer-client privilege and to not tell anyone what she is about to show them. They all agree and before they know it, she has turned into She-Hulk.
Veronica is in shock, telling her dad she didn’t know that he knew THE She-Hulk. Dan says he didn’t either. She reminds them again about lawyer-client privilege before going into an abbreviated version of her backstory and her transformation into She-Hulk. She says that her own personal experience has led to a realization of Dan’s argument.
When the She-Hulk was invented, the old Jennifer Walters ceased to exist. It is kind of like the mythological Phoenix Force. She can tell they’re all starting to get confused so she says to stick with her. It is said that the Phoenix Force can attach itself to a human soul, with that human becoming an entire new entity. And while those are just rumors and hearsay, she and Dan are true examples of this happening. Dan Germain died when Danger Man, a whole new entity, was born. And Dan is not coming back so his family should be compensated for the loss. Dan is starting to catch on and likes Jen’s argument but Lori grows irate and says she can’t handle anymore of this nonsense. She leaves and Veronica follows her.
Dan runs out after her but she is already driving off. He starts to have an angry meltdown, destroying things that surround him. She-Hulk asks what he is doing and he says he is going to get so angry that he will blow himself up - so his family will finally get the payment. She says that is absurd and that they will win this case but he is not having it and pushes her away. At this time, she transforms back to human Jennifer and says that if he is going to do it, he’s taking her with him. He can’t bring himself to hurt somebody else so he calms down and begins to cry. She is stearn and tells him she’s getting him his money.
Mallory Book (Kate Walsh) sits stunned in the courtroom. Jen looks to the camera, smiling:
“$85 million dollar settlement - enough for treatment AND family counseling. Face That Never Lost a Case, my ass.”
Back at her law office, Jen is congratulated by all, including Leibovitz (Richard Kind). Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) pulls Jen aside and tells her she has some thing urgent to show her. She pulls her into her office and opens up the TMZ-esque front page of the Daily Bugle.
Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre) approaches hotshot bachelor Dr. John Jameson (Finn Wittrock) at the airport and asked him his thoughts on the She-Hulk. He says that he finds something about her very attractive and laughingly says for her to call him. Jen sits somewhat speechless while Mary looks at her and says Jen is totally going to sleep with John Jameson, isn’t she?
Jen slowly looks towards the camera with an approving look.

Plot: Dan Jermain (Domenick Lombardozzi) sits on a bus home, taking up three seats and prompting those around him to move - afraid they might get contaminated by his radiation. When he gets home from work, he tries to do some normal tasks around the house just to feel normal again. Not longer after, his daughter Veronica (Storm Reid) gets dropped off by her friends. Dan peaks out the window at them and waves but soon realizes that his newfound super sense of hearing can pick up on their conversation. He hears them making fun of what a freak Veronica’s dad has become, while another friend comments that she finds it kind of hot. Veronica hightails it out of there and, when she gets inside, makes a beeline for her room (totally ignoring Dan).

She-Hulk - Issue #5
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Director: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Michael Richards .... Morris Walters
F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Eric Andre .... Paparazzi Geoff
Richard Kind .... Phil Leibovitz
Plot: While at work, Jen gets a call from the firm’s secretary who says that she has a visitor. She says to send them in. Moments later, in walks Holden Holliway (F. Murray Abraham) and Jen is immediately starstruck. She looks to the camera:
“He puts the Holliway in Goodman, Liever, Kurtzberg & Holliway.”
We soon find out that Holliway, one of the most respected lawyers in New York, wants her to join his firm. She is unsure of what to say, almost in disbelief. This would be an incredible leap forward in her career. He then spills the beans about why he thinks she is the right fit: they are forming a new Superhuman Law branch of their practice and they want her to lead it. She begins to show the patented Jennifer Walters self-doubt says she isn’t sure how versed she is with the superhuman world (after which she looks to the camera and winks) so she don’t know if she’d succeed. He says that he saw firsthand how great she was in the Danger Man trial and that is all she needed to see. She asks if she can mull this over and he says of course.
Afterwards, Leibovitz (Richard Kind) pays her a visit and asks what that was all about. He is also starstruck that Holden Holliway was in his firm. Jen stays tight-lipped, causing Leibovitz to become suspicious and ask if she is thinking about jumping ship. He begins to chew her out and remind her how appreciated she is here - which is only really relevant in the last few days since the Danger Man verdict.
Jen gets a message from her dad, who wants to meet for lunch. She is nervous about this since it is the first time they’ve met since public She-Hulk has become a thing. Morris (Michael Richards) is not too happy with her becoming a celebrity like she is and worries it will ruin her professional ambitions. She uses that to segway into talking about her new job offer. He tells her he thinks she should go for it but tone down the She-Hulk stuff.
Meanwhile, he says that he has done his own research and thinks her transformation might have something to do with gamma-rays, citing past precedents. She is impressed, telling him he sounds like a lawyer himself. He then moves on to his main belief: that the blood transfusion Jen received was contaminated with radiation and that is why she turns green. Jen, knowing Danger Man’s case well, shakes her head in agreement. He then says they should sue her surgeon for malpractice.
With Dr. Jameson’s words about She-Hulk still ringing in her mind, she says that they should not do that. Instead, they should focus on who attacked her and her mom. She asks him if he there are any enemies that he accumulated while working in the force that may have had unfinished business. He says the only one that got away was an underground crime organization that he tried to undercover but they were so well connected that he could never break through. It becomes clear that this case actually broke him and is the reason he retired.
When she leaves, she begins doing research on the dark web to find any clues but is unsuccessful. She gets a message from Mary wanting to go out but she ignores it. She feels guilty about potentially leaving Mary behind at Leibovitz’s firm and doesn’t know how to tell her about her dilemma.
Jen calls Holden Holliway and tells him that she is going to accept his offer. He says that that is great to hear. He is sure that she will become the greatest practitioner in superhuman law in the world. She thanks him for that.
That night, still guilty about not telling Mary, decides to go out for a night of partying on her own as She-Hulk. She spots Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre) following her and pulls her aside. He says that he is just doing her job. However, she is not exactly angry at him. Instead, she needs a favor.

She-Hulk - Issue #6
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal

F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Finn Wittrock .... Dr. John Jameson
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Eric Andre .... Paparazzi Geoff
Kyle Mooney .... Awesome Andy (Voice)
Al Harrington .... Leio
Plot:As Jen (Jenny Slate) packs up her old office, Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) comes in and says that it looks like the news is true. Jen is very apologetic, saying she was afraid to tell Mary she was leaving her with Leibovitz. Mary gives her a hug and says she TOTALLY understands. Jen is relieved to find that there is no hostility between them.
Jen enters GLKH for her day on the job. Holden Holliway (F. Murray Abraham) greets her and gives her a tour of the firm. They run into Mallory Book (Kate Walsh), who acts fake-happy to see Jen there and congratulates her on the new job. Jen is still on a high from beating Mallory in court so she thanks Mallory for thanking her.
Holden tells her they have started a new library just for her that he wants to show her. Jen is surprised by this and is eager to see what it is. They get to the lower level of the firm where a paralegal named Stu Cicero (Himesh Patel) is waiting. He welcomes to “The Basement” - the firm’s new comic book division. Prior to 2002, comics were regulated by the Comics Code Authority - meaning all of those comics can be used as official legal documents. Holden tells her this will be especially important in her role, as these comics have traditionally been an important cultural touchstone in their society as they detail the history of superhumans in their society.
Holden heads back upstairs and Jen gets to know Stu. On a human level, they connect right away as they both share a shy, nerdy type of nature. He tells her that he looks forward to working with her and she says the same. They share a cute shy smile.
When she moves into her new office, Jen is given her first case and finds that it is a doozy. She will be representing a creature by the name of Krakoa. She comes to find out that Krakoa is an island in the Pacific that is actually a living creature. Late last year, an older New York couple vacationed in the Pacific and visited the island. They are subsequently feeling the ill effects of being there and are suing the island’s caretaker Leio (Al Harrington) and the island itself. As she reads this, Jen whips her head at the camera:
“And here I thought the Danger Man case was weird!”
Dr. John Jameson (Finn Wittrock) is on a night out on the town and is followed by Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre), per usual. John is too busy having a good time but Geoff insists and says that it has to do with John’s father. John perks up and goes to talk to Geoff in private. Geoff admits that he lied, although he guesses Triple J is at least a little related to this. Geoff talked to the She-Hulk and she would like to set up a date with him, like he previously mentioned. John is surprised to hear this and, before he can say anything, Geoff points out to John the type of money and views this will bring to the Bugle. After a moment to think about it, John says to do it.
Jen pays a visit to Stu again and asks him if he has any reading material on sentient objects or, even better, islands. He lights up and says he knows just the person to ask.
Moments later, he brings down Awesome Andy (voiced by Kyle Mooney), a huge robot (with a stone block as a head) that was once the lackey for supervillain The Thinker. He has since gained sentience and left the Thinker, joining the firm as an intern (hence his dress shirt and tie). Jen is in disbelief and her and Stu share a laugh, after which Stu insists that they are not laughing at him (just his backstory). In fact, Jen soon finds out that Awesome Andy is quite endearing and willing to help however he can.

Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Kate Walsh .... Mallory
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Kyle Mooney .... Awesome Andy (Voice)
Reid Scott .... Starfox
Al Harrington .... Leio
Plot:Jen (Jenny Slate) is eager to impress her colleagues at GLKH so she stays there all night working on the case. Awesome Andy (Kyle Mooney), who can’t sleep by nature, is there with her, as well is Stu (Himesh Patel). Andy says that the biggest hurdle for people like him is to get others to recognize their newfound rights. Their past existence is such a big hurdle, as everyone views them as that “thing”. Andy then admits a secret that he doesn’t want getting out: he has a crush on Mallory Book. Jen and Stu look at each other, unsure of what to say, not wanting to hurt their friend’s feelings. Stu says that everybody does, so welcome to the club. Jen quickly looks to Stu as if to say “really?”. He says “right, Jen?” and all she can do is agree.
Jen goes to take a restroom break and is surprised to discover that Mallory (Kate Walsh) is also working through the night. She soon discovers that Mallory isn’t as tough as she acts in the courtroom. Mallory is more vulnerable, saying that she always feels like she has to work extra hard (and extra late) to cut her teeth in this career. Jen is surprised to find that she actually she sees eye-to-eye with Mallory on this case. Mallory comments on the oddness of Jen’s case and recommends her to go visit the island to see it firsthand. As Mallory is leaving, Jen looks like she wants to mention something else but she leaves it at that.
Jen loads up on a boat and goes to visit Krakoa, who is temporarily living in the Atlantic. Krakoa is in its island form so Jen pulls her boat up to his shore but is prevented from stepping out by its caretaker Leio (Al Harrington). He tells her that Krakoa is extra cautious against visitors, even a lawyer. Leio, who is also Krakoa’s “translator”, tells her that Krakoa is likely an ancient mutant, who is instantly ostracized by what he is. At least human mutants look like humans!
Krakoa begins to awake and the waters begin to shake, frightening Jen. This turns her into She-Hulk, which makes Krakoa - now standing up in the water, holding Leio like it’s King Kong - becomes agitated and roars at She-Hulk. Leio asks her what is going on and says that she has scared it. It swings at She-Hulk and she tries to fight back but finds fighting on the water near impossible. From the skies, a man comes flying in to save the day and help She-Hulk escape.
When they get to dry land, She-Hulk asks who he is. He introduces himself as Starfox (Reid Scott), a superbeing from the Shi’ar Empire. She is immediately confused but he says not to worry about it. He says that he was scanning Earth and found a superhuman in distress so he figured he would help. She asks if he is from another planet and he confirms. He then offers to take her out for some secluded lunch on an island nearby, to recover from the Krakoa incident.
On the island, they talk a little bit about Starfox’s background and being superbeings. His charm is turned up to 11 and She-Hulk finds that it is working on her. As they are talking, she finds herself transforming back into Jen. She turns away and tells him not to look at her. He laughs at her concerns and says that he is an alien, what does he care about a human’s secret identity? She finds his words reassuring and lets her guard down.
Upon seeing Jen in human form, he comments that now he sees why she couldn’t fight that island. Look at her! She is shocked to hear him say something like that. He says that think about it: the stronger she gets in human form, the green girl will be exponentially stronger. And if she learns how to fight now, the green her will fight so much better. She admits that she has no clue how to fight.
So begins a cheesy training montage with Starfox showing Jen certain fighting techniques and drills to make her more physically fit. She turns into She-Hulk to test out her new powers and finds that they are indeed stronger. She falls to the ground exhausted, even with her high stamina. He picks her up and takes to the shade, where he lays her down on his lap. He says that she really should have joined StarCrossed and he would have found her sooner. She has no clue what that is. He says that it’s a dating app exclusively for superhumans. She is amused to hear this but says she prefers to meet people the old fashioned way. Starfox says he doesn’t think anything they have is old-fashioned and kisses her. She kisses him back and climbs on top of him. She-Hulk looks to the camera:
“Supersex? Check."

On the island, they talk a little bit about Starfox’s background and being superbeings. His charm is turned up to 11 and She-Hulk finds that it is working on her. As they are talking, she finds herself transforming back into Jen. She turns away and tells him not to look at her. He laughs at her concerns and says that he is an alien, what does he care about a human’s secret identity? She finds his words reassuring and lets her guard down.
Upon seeing Jen in human form, he comments that now he sees why she couldn’t fight that island. Look at her! She is shocked to hear him say something like that. He says that think about it: the stronger she gets in human form, the green girl will be exponentially stronger. And if she learns how to fight now, the green her will fight so much better. She admits that she has no clue how to fight.
So begins a cheesy training montage with Starfox showing Jen certain fighting techniques and drills to make her more physically fit. She turns into She-Hulk to test out her new powers and finds that they are indeed stronger. She falls to the ground exhausted, even with her high stamina. He picks her up and takes to the shade, where he lays her down on his lap. He says that she really should have joined StarCrossed and he would have found her sooner. She has no clue what that is. He says that it’s a dating app exclusively for superhumans. She is amused to hear this but says she prefers to meet people the old fashioned way. Starfox says he doesn’t think anything they have is old-fashioned and kisses her. She kisses him back and climbs on top of him. She-Hulk looks to the camera:
“Supersex? Check."
She-Hulk - Issue #8
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Director: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
Phoebe Waller-Bridge .... Mary MacPherran
Steve Howey .... Carl Creed
Michiel Huisman .... The Hood
Plot:After another late night at the office, Jen (Jenny Slate) invites Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) over for some late-night Chinese takeout. Jen tells her all about the Starfox hookup, her new training regime, and the StarCrossed dating app. She then tells her about how she has reached how to a mutual contact of John Jameson’s and hopes to set up a date (as She-Hulk). Mary says she is thrilled for her but Jen says she can tell she is acting. Mary says she just hopes She-Hulk doesn’t change who Jen is. This pisses Jen off, who says she is starting to sound like Jen’s dad. Mary starts to argue back, saying Jen just left her behind and wasn’t even going to tell her. Jen says she thought they made up over that.
Not long after, years-long tensions start being dug up and tears start to roll. Eventually, their argument escalates to the point that Jen’s anger transforms her into She-Hulk. This time, she is really angry and this terrifies Mary, who is afraid Jen will hurt her as She-Hulk. She hurries out, worried for her life. In her apartment, She-Hulk realizes the err in her ways but is still angry at how Mary lashed out on her like that.
On her way to apartment, Mary cries on the subway. A stranger offers her a tissue but she says she’s ok. She asks herself “am I jealous?” and the stranger is super confused and walks away. At her home, she can’t sleep at night so she tosses and turns in her bed. Amidst her unrest, she decides to look up StarCrossed and downloads it. She decides to sign up - as She-Hulk - since she knows Jen inside and out. When it asks for “alignment”, she chooses the devil emoji instead of the angel emoji. She begins swiping left and right before passing out.
The next morning, she wakes up and finds a bunch of notifications on her phone. She opens the StarCrossed app and scrolls through the people she matched with. Most of them are ‘meh’ but she stops on Carl Creel (Steve Howey) - professional wrestler and superhuman baddie. She looks to the camera:
“Just how I like ‘em...a little girthy. Wait, that sounded weird, erase that one.”
She swipes right and starts to message him. He wants to meet up but only at a psychiatric facility, which she finds odd.
“Oh, what the hell. Why not?”
When she goes to the facility, she must request to meet with him from the guards. They meet in supervised room and, despite the setting, hit it off immediately. He explains his backstory: former wrestler, fell in with the wrong crowd, met a guy who knew a guy on the black market who was supplying his associate with superhuman abilities, and here we are. Mary says that sounds very interesting and says she wants to get down to brass tax, how is he in bed?
A few days later, she visits Carl again and gets know him even better. His powers are that he can absorb any material he touches - hences why he is wearing special protective gear here. He’s had a few run-ins with the law but luckily...luckily?...his mental health issues got him here instead of prison. He asks her about being She-Hulk and being surprised that she identifies as bad. She is very coy when talking about this, eager to change the subject.
Mary follows up on something he said earlier and asks if he knows how she can get in contact with the man who supplies superpowers. He says that he will show her but he needs her help in breaking him out of here. This she is very unsure about but he ensures her that it is the right thing to do, and is the only they can truly be together.
Cut to Carl being a free man outside of the facility, with an exhausted Mary by his side. He says he’s fully ready to be Absorbing Man again. Mary asks if that is really his name and Carl, a very literal guy, says it seemed like the obvious choice. She asks about taking him to the man who gave him his powers.
They enter an underground lair where dozens of people are seen hustling, doing various tasks. Carl talks to the “secretary” and asks to see the boss. As they pass through various humans and superhumans doing their various tasks, Carl tells Mary that if she cannot laugh at the boss’s name. Making fun of Absorbing Man was bad enough. She promises to behave, giving the camera devious look.
They enter a dark secluded room and Carl is asked a bunch of questions, presumably about Mary and if she is allowed to be in here. He is reminded that, if she is not, she will not be making it out alive. Carl vouches for her and says she helped out of the institution.
Suddenly, a man (Michiel Huisman) emerges from the shadows with a red hood covering most of his face. He asks if she has come here to be enlightened by The Hood?
She quickly looks to the camera, as if she almost can’t help herself but to make a comment. “Is he not circumsized? Afraid of the big bad wolf?”
She looks back to The Hood and confirms her intentions. She then starts to undergo the initiation process.
As she and Carl leave the Hood’s lair, Carl says he has some unfinished business to attend to. She is upset, thinking they would go back to his apartment to hook up. He promises after he finishes what he started months ago. He doesn’t want to be a failure in his boss’s eyes so he needs to finish the hit. He needs to kill Jennifer Walters.
Mary turns ghost white and looks to the camera nervously.

She-Hulk - Issue #9
Genre: Superhero / Comedy / Legal
Director: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Writer: Chad Taylor
Based on the Marvel Comics characters
Cast:
Jenny Slate .... Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk
F. Murray Abraham .... Holden Holliway
Finn Wittrock .... Dr. John Jameson
Himesh Patel .... Stu Cicero
Eric Andre .... Paparazzi Geoff
Al Harrington .... Leio
Ron Perlman .... J. Jonah Jameson
Plot:After the fight with Mary, Jen (Jenny Slate) goes to work the next day a bit bummed by life. She sees Stu (Himesh Patel), who asks her what is wrong. She tries to make up a story but fails to and starts crying. Obviously, she can’t tell him everything so she remains silent. He goes over to put his arm around her before quickly pulling away. He says that he doesn’t want to be sued for sexual harassment. She tugs on his arm tighter and says that she finds it comforting. After a brief moment of silence, he asks her out on a date later that night.
She is frozen still, unsure of what to say. This causes him to freak out, saying he knew he shouldn’t have pulled the trigger. He wonders aloud if THAT was sexual harassment. Finally, she speaks up and says that she would love to. He asks how does 9pm at a pizza joint near her apartment sound and she says wonderful. He lets out a big sigh of relief and they both laugh.
Upstairs, and in a better mood, she meets with Holden (F. Murray Abraham) who says she has a visitor. Together, they meet with Leio (Al Harrington), Krakoa’s caretaker. Leio apologizes for the incident and says that Krakoa can get that way sometimes. But not with this couple that are suing them. She apologizes, too, and says that when she accepted a job in “superhuman law”, she thought she would be defending good superhumans. Holden shakes his head no and says superhumans are superhumans, good or bad.
Leio argues that Krakoa is neither, he is just trying to exist. Over the years, overtourism and trespassing has taken a toll on him and he is starting to retaliate. There is nothing that Leio can do about it. Jen is starting to be receptive and thanks him for opening up about the island, the trespassing notion should prove to be crucial in their defense argument.
On her way home, Jen sees a building on fire outside the train and a lady trapped in one of the upper level apartments. She kicks into action and exits the train discreetly. She transforms into She-Hulk and goes up top to save the lady. However, they find it tricky finding a way down. She-Hulk ends up telling everyone to clear her landing area as she will jump down. She does so, protecting the lady in the process, and is hailed as a hero.
As she is walking way, she is encountered by Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre) who tells her Club 337, 7 pm on the dot. He’ll be waiting for her.
Jen gets back to her apartment and is freaking out. She doesn’t know whether to cancel with Stu or not. She doesn’t want to blow her one shot at going out with Dr. John Jameson. She convinces herself that there is enough time in between to make both work. She’ll go on a date with John as She-Hulk and with Stu as She-Hulk. She tells the camera that she never thought she’d be in a scenario like this.
She-Hulk goes to Club 337 and there is much hub-bub about her rendezvous with Dr. John Jameson (Finn Wittrock). Unlike her interactions with Stu or even Starfox, she finds him to be a bit more stilted and the conversation more awkward. After the initial rough patch, however, they start to bond over their shared experiences as celebrities. He admits that he is attracted her exotic nature and she says that she is attracted to everything about him, as is every other girl in the country. He asks if that means that she is the lucky one. She smiles and says that he’s the lucky one - he’s on a date with She-Hulk, after all.
After some more drinks, he says willing to adjust his schedule a bit and asks if she wants to go back to his place. She pauses, checks the time to see 8:30 and looks over to the camera:
“Fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. Fuck!”
She shakes her head yes and they leave together.
At his luxurious apartment, they start to make out but he pulls away. He says this doesn’t feel right. Considering how well things were going, She-Hulk is confused. He says that he feels guilty. The only reason he said what he did about her originally was on the insistence of his father, who wanted pageviews for his website. He’s sick of his dad using his celebrity status to exploit him like that but it is too late. The photographers already got the pictures they needed of them at the club (and leaving it). He says he still likes her but he has to take it slow, to clear his conscience.
She-Hulk begins to cry, a first for her in this form. As such, this start initiating a process where she is transforming into Jen. She quickly turns away as she did with Starfox but John is respectful and looks away. He says that he understands her want for keeping her private life separate from her public. Still feeling hurt and used, she says that she is going to go. Still being respectful of Jen’s privacy, he tells her where she can find some spare clothes in his room and says that he really hopes to hear from her again - She-Hulk or whoever this is. Jen doesn’t say anything as she puts on the clothes and heads out.
On the elevator, Jen continues crying. When she leaves the building, she misses that Paparazzi Geoff has been following her. He looks over the pictures he took of this woman leaving John’s apartment.
Jen gets back to her neighborhood and goes to the local pizza joint, hoping that Stu might’ve waited behind. It’s only 9:30, after all. She slumps her shoulders upon the realization that he is not.
She wakes the next day feeling shitty about all that transpired the night before. However, she looks over to her phone to see hundreds of messages, which stuns her. She does a morning stretch before turning on the TV:
The local news is showing a replay of a press conference with media magnate, political pundit, Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson (Ron Perlman). He is proud to announce news exclusively broken by his outlet. His inside sources have discovered that the She-Hulk’s real identity is Jennifer Walters, a local lawyer.

Plot:Jen (Jenny Slate) is holed up in her apartment, unwilling to leave. She can hear the paparazzi making a ruckus outside. She keeps getting calls and messages, especially from Mary, but says that she is definitely not ready to deal with that right now. She gets a knock on the door and is afraid to answer before the person ends up opening the door with a key. It is Morris (Michael Richards).
Without any words being spoken between the two, she gives him a long hug. He says that this was always what he was worried about when she started turning green. He didn’t want to lose her daughter underneath all of that. She admits that she got carried away and that Mary had told her the same thing, she just chose to ignore it. She feels scared and unsure of what to do. He tells her to embrace who she is and do what she does best - go kick some ass in the court of law. She smiles.
Jen walks in slow-motion to her spot in the courthouse with all eyes on her, including Mallory (Kate Walsh) and Holden (F. Murray Abraham). She is unable to read their mood. Krakoa is not there as he cannot fit in the room but Leio (Al Harrington) is since he is being sued, too. The trial goes fairly smoothly, with Jen using the arguments about overtourism and trespassing that Leio had expressed to her. She stands up for the discriminatory behaviors against mutants, and the treatment of Krakoa is no different.
The trial takes a recess and Jen goes outside for some fresh air. However, the paparazzi are all there waiting for her. Subsequently, she meets with Mallory and Holden who tell her that they are proud of the work she is doing out there. She is surprised that they seem non-bothered by the She-Hulk revelation.
As she is leaving the courthouse steps, Absorbing Man (Steve Howey) crash lands on the steps. Jen tries to transform quickly into She-Hulk but Absorbing Man breaks her arm first. She is still able to transform but the broken arm is still in effect, meaning she is weakened. A bunch of other Hood goons arrive and start to team up on her. She is able to fight them off semi-successfully but not totally because of her arm.
Absorbing Man takes advantage of her weakness and begins to pummel her in the fight, absorbing the concrete steps, leaving him with stone hands. He calls for Titania to come help but gets no response. He calls again but still nothing.
Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is in a room nearby, decked out in a full-on purple supervillain outfit and freaking out. She can’t get herself to leave the building and join Carl and Jen. She takes a back emergency exit and hurries heads home.
As Absorbing Man is close to finishing the job, he tells her that she is proving to be more challenging than her mom. He starts to grow more powerful and successfully fighting off police officers and security guards in the area. Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre), there for Jen anyways, starts taking pictures of the fight but Absorbing Man takes a nearby cop car and smashes him with it.
Loud footsteps are heard and she stops for a second. In runs Danger Man (Domenick Lombardozzi), who knocks Absorbing Man off of his feet. When Absorbing Man touches Danger Man, he starts to radiate and is emulate those powers. However, before he can successfully fight back, Starfox (Reid Scott) comes swooping in and starts to fight him with his alien techniques. However, he is still smaller than Absorbing Man so he is not totally successful either. Absorbing Man is worn down but starts to get up before being knocked out by a clubbing blow from a giant robot hand. It is Awesome Andy. She-Hulk smiles and gives him a nod.
A big rumble is then heard but Leio emerges from the courthouse and urges Krakoa to stay in the sea, so as not cause any unneeded damage and bring on more lawsuits. We get a quick cutaway of a sad Krakoa returning to the ocean.
She-Hulk and her ragtag group of friends defeat Absorbing Man and save the surrounding area from incurring any more of his damage. However, the damage he made the foundation of the block is starting to take effect and the courthouse begins to fall apart. She-Hulk and crew are able to hold it together and bring it to a stable standing, saving the day once again. The onlookers nearby start to cheer on the heroes for saving the day. This puts a smile on all of their faces (except for Awesome Andy, who technically has no face).
The court case proceeds the next day in a different building as the courthouse is being repaired. Jen is ready to win the case and walks in as She-Hulk (in her business attire), unashamed. However, the only people there are Holden and Mallory, looking somewhat disappointed. Holden tells her that the other side successfully argued for a mistrial. Jen is angry, which scared Mallory, but Jen is quick to say she’s under control. Holden says that She-Hulk saved the lives of many of New Yorkers yesterday, including jury members. Thus, they argued that this gave you an unfair advantage in persuading them. She’s still mad, saying she also saved the judge and that couple, too, you know? Mallory says rules are rules.
Holden tells her not to take this to harshly. Mallory asks how does it feel to be on the losing side again, jokingly. He wants her to keep being his go-to person for Superhuman Law. However, this jury argument will likely come up again if she continues her escapades as She-Hulk. So he needs her to be Jennifer Walters and give up She-Hulk for awhile. She reminds him of the first time he offered her the job and how he gave her some time to think about it. She asks if she can do that again. He happily agrees. Once Holden leaves, Jen has a favor to ask of Mallory.
A montage begins with Jen narrating over it.
“So...what a crazy few months this has been.”
Jen and Morris put flowers at the grave of Sheila Walters.
“I’ve lost so much…”
While in her apartment, she tries to call Mary but can’t get an answer.
“...But gained a lot along the way.”
Jen apologizes to Stu and asks for a second chance. He says that he wants to take it slow, leaving her feel disappointed as if he is still upset at her. He quickly realizes this and says that is because he hasn’t dated much before and doesn’t want to fuck it up. Because he really thinks she is special. Jennifer Walters, that is.
“Including some nice new friends.”
Danger Man’s daughter Veronica (Storm Reid) is the talk of the school as everyone is checking out and liking her Instagram selfie with She-Hulk.
Jen meets with Leio and gives him the money she has earned from sponsorship deals as She-Hulk. She tells him to use it to pay the expenses that he owes the couple after she cost them the case. He tells her that Krakoa would be happy for her to visit any time she’d like.
“I've always wanted to help people. And now I’ve finally found a place in my life where I can do that professionally and personally.”
Mallory sits dressed up at a fancy restaurant, unsure of what to say. It is revealed that Awesome Andy sits across from, dressed in a giant-sized tuxedo.
“So I think it’s time I make a decision.”
She dials in Holden’s number on her phone and presses to call.

Plot:Jen (Jenny Slate) is holed up in her apartment, unwilling to leave. She can hear the paparazzi making a ruckus outside. She keeps getting calls and messages, especially from Mary, but says that she is definitely not ready to deal with that right now. She gets a knock on the door and is afraid to answer before the person ends up opening the door with a key. It is Morris (Michael Richards).
Without any words being spoken between the two, she gives him a long hug. He says that this was always what he was worried about when she started turning green. He didn’t want to lose her daughter underneath all of that. She admits that she got carried away and that Mary had told her the same thing, she just chose to ignore it. She feels scared and unsure of what to do. He tells her to embrace who she is and do what she does best - go kick some ass in the court of law. She smiles.
Jen walks in slow-motion to her spot in the courthouse with all eyes on her, including Mallory (Kate Walsh) and Holden (F. Murray Abraham). She is unable to read their mood. Krakoa is not there as he cannot fit in the room but Leio (Al Harrington) is since he is being sued, too. The trial goes fairly smoothly, with Jen using the arguments about overtourism and trespassing that Leio had expressed to her. She stands up for the discriminatory behaviors against mutants, and the treatment of Krakoa is no different.
The trial takes a recess and Jen goes outside for some fresh air. However, the paparazzi are all there waiting for her. Subsequently, she meets with Mallory and Holden who tell her that they are proud of the work she is doing out there. She is surprised that they seem non-bothered by the She-Hulk revelation.
As she is leaving the courthouse steps, Absorbing Man (Steve Howey) crash lands on the steps. Jen tries to transform quickly into She-Hulk but Absorbing Man breaks her arm first. She is still able to transform but the broken arm is still in effect, meaning she is weakened. A bunch of other Hood goons arrive and start to team up on her. She is able to fight them off semi-successfully but not totally because of her arm.
Absorbing Man takes advantage of her weakness and begins to pummel her in the fight, absorbing the concrete steps, leaving him with stone hands. He calls for Titania to come help but gets no response. He calls again but still nothing.
Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is in a room nearby, decked out in a full-on purple supervillain outfit and freaking out. She can’t get herself to leave the building and join Carl and Jen. She takes a back emergency exit and hurries heads home.
As Absorbing Man is close to finishing the job, he tells her that she is proving to be more challenging than her mom. He starts to grow more powerful and successfully fighting off police officers and security guards in the area. Paparazzi Geoff (Eric Andre), there for Jen anyways, starts taking pictures of the fight but Absorbing Man takes a nearby cop car and smashes him with it.
Loud footsteps are heard and she stops for a second. In runs Danger Man (Domenick Lombardozzi), who knocks Absorbing Man off of his feet. When Absorbing Man touches Danger Man, he starts to radiate and is emulate those powers. However, before he can successfully fight back, Starfox (Reid Scott) comes swooping in and starts to fight him with his alien techniques. However, he is still smaller than Absorbing Man so he is not totally successful either. Absorbing Man is worn down but starts to get up before being knocked out by a clubbing blow from a giant robot hand. It is Awesome Andy. She-Hulk smiles and gives him a nod.
A big rumble is then heard but Leio emerges from the courthouse and urges Krakoa to stay in the sea, so as not cause any unneeded damage and bring on more lawsuits. We get a quick cutaway of a sad Krakoa returning to the ocean.
She-Hulk and her ragtag group of friends defeat Absorbing Man and save the surrounding area from incurring any more of his damage. However, the damage he made the foundation of the block is starting to take effect and the courthouse begins to fall apart. She-Hulk and crew are able to hold it together and bring it to a stable standing, saving the day once again. The onlookers nearby start to cheer on the heroes for saving the day. This puts a smile on all of their faces (except for Awesome Andy, who technically has no face).
The court case proceeds the next day in a different building as the courthouse is being repaired. Jen is ready to win the case and walks in as She-Hulk (in her business attire), unashamed. However, the only people there are Holden and Mallory, looking somewhat disappointed. Holden tells her that the other side successfully argued for a mistrial. Jen is angry, which scared Mallory, but Jen is quick to say she’s under control. Holden says that She-Hulk saved the lives of many of New Yorkers yesterday, including jury members. Thus, they argued that this gave you an unfair advantage in persuading them. She’s still mad, saying she also saved the judge and that couple, too, you know? Mallory says rules are rules.
Holden tells her not to take this to harshly. Mallory asks how does it feel to be on the losing side again, jokingly. He wants her to keep being his go-to person for Superhuman Law. However, this jury argument will likely come up again if she continues her escapades as She-Hulk. So he needs her to be Jennifer Walters and give up She-Hulk for awhile. She reminds him of the first time he offered her the job and how he gave her some time to think about it. She asks if she can do that again. He happily agrees. Once Holden leaves, Jen has a favor to ask of Mallory.
A montage begins with Jen narrating over it.
“So...what a crazy few months this has been.”
Jen and Morris put flowers at the grave of Sheila Walters.
“I’ve lost so much…”
While in her apartment, she tries to call Mary but can’t get an answer.
“...But gained a lot along the way.”
Jen apologizes to Stu and asks for a second chance. He says that he wants to take it slow, leaving her feel disappointed as if he is still upset at her. He quickly realizes this and says that is because he hasn’t dated much before and doesn’t want to fuck it up. Because he really thinks she is special. Jennifer Walters, that is.
“Including some nice new friends.”
Danger Man’s daughter Veronica (Storm Reid) is the talk of the school as everyone is checking out and liking her Instagram selfie with She-Hulk.
Jen meets with Leio and gives him the money she has earned from sponsorship deals as She-Hulk. She tells him to use it to pay the expenses that he owes the couple after she cost them the case. He tells her that Krakoa would be happy for her to visit any time she’d like.
“I've always wanted to help people. And now I’ve finally found a place in my life where I can do that professionally and personally.”
Mallory sits dressed up at a fancy restaurant, unsure of what to say. It is revealed that Awesome Andy sits across from, dressed in a giant-sized tuxedo.
“So I think it’s time I make a decision.”
She dials in Holden’s number on her phone and presses to call.
