She-Hulk Bangs Daredevil
Leapfrog is a new hero who shows up to stop robbers. Unfortunately, he has a defective suit and everything goes wrong.
He tells Jen all of this at the law firm, where he believes he should be entitled to compensation. Jen agrees to represent him…until she finds out the suit was made by Luke Jacobson, who made her super-suit. The same Luke Jacobson who made her feel like she was a victim.
Jen heads to her boss to confirm that she will be taking the case. She believes that it is a conflict of interest because her tailor, Jacobson, is also involved. ..
The only solution is to see Jacobson and meet him in person, in order to compromise with him. Jacobson refuses, tearing down her dress he’s been making and deciding they should meet in court. Jacobson is represented by Matt Murdoch, who “who’s this asshole?” Jen says, upon his arrival at the courtroom.
The pair go back and forth about privacy, namely that for superheroes. Matt puts in a really compelling argument, especially as he throws shade at Jen for wanting to be a celebrity and using her powers for her own personal gain. For others who genuinely want to help people, they have big enemies, and seeing Jacobson forced to open up and reveal the identity of said heroes would be catastrophic.
Matt wins the case but just so Jen doesn’t look too weak, it’s revealed – thanks in part to Murdoch’s keen sense of smell – that he’s been using jet fuel in his boosters, which was against instructions. But then on the flip side, it would seem that Female Lawyer of the Year didn’t actually do her due diligence to find out everything about his suit. In doing so, she may have actually found this out without the need to even go to court. Jen basically just jumped on this case before doing her homework, y’know, as lawyers usually do? Anyway, Luke also refuses to go back to making suits for her.
Matt Murdoch buys Jen a drink and decides that She-Hulk should be able to help other people and she has the resources to do that. He also believes that She-Hulk can be a powerful ally in the fight against crime.
Daredevil is fighting someone and Leapfrog phones to point it out. He then sees She-Hulk and starts smashing things up, causing public damage. She picks up a car and throws it at him before using her clap power to knock him down.
Jen immediately takes off his mask and realizes that he is Matt Murdoch. It turns out that Leapfrog has actually kidnapped Luke Jacobson to make him a new suit. Hey, remember last episode when Jen was annoyed that her car was smashed up in the cross-fire from those supers? I wonder if we’ll see the owner of that lovely car she threw across the parking lot make a complaint? ..
The team of She-Hulk, Matt, and Jen head into the Leapfrog warehouse to take Jacobson down. However, they quickly realize that they are not alone in this venture. Jen tells them that she can help them with their stealth plan if they let her join in. Matt agrees and She-Hulk is happy to do whatever she can to help out her friends.
As the goons start attacking, Leapfrog jumps out the window and hurts himself. Luke Jacobson agrees to make Jen’s gala dress and everything is resolved.
Daredevil and Jen have sex.
Jen gets dressed up for the gala, where the truth about She-Hulk is revealed. It is revealed that she is a slut and only looks out for herself. ..
Jen begins to hulk out and cannot control her anger. As she heads outside, after smashing up the gala, armed guards hold guns to her.
The Episode Review
This week’s episode of She-Hulk features Matt Murdoch as Daredevil, and it’s great to see him back on the show. The chapter has some action, which is nice to see. However, even that wasn’t great given Matt told Jen that he’d be going in stealthily… and proceeded to start beating goons up and causing a massive racket.
The biggest problem with Jen’s character is that she’s still deeply flawed and hard to like. Along with being incredibly selfish, she’s also narcicisstic.
Jen’s drinking has been a major issue this season and it’s been a major focus of the show. We’ve seen her drink copious amounts of alcohol, sleep with men on the first date, and take shots before big dates. It’s been a huge focus for the show and it’s something that we want to address.
Jen is a pretty bad lawyer, from the scenes we’ve seen in the courtroom and at work. Whether it be belittling and berating her own client in Mr Immortal, or texting Josh and setting up a dating profile in her office when she’s supposed to be working, we’ve seen absolutely nothing to suggest she’s a competent lawyer, let alone the best. ..
This episode wasn’t the worst of the season, but there were a few fun moments. However, given how low the bar has been set for this show, that’s hardly a compliment. ..
