-She-Hulk Attorney at Law Episode 2 Review Contain Some Spoilers-
In the last episode we saw that before a court case, lawyer Jennifer Walters tells the viewers about an incident where she and her cousin Bruce Banner were intercepted by a Sakaaran spaceship, and crashed their car. While attempting to get Banner to safety, Walters was cross-contaminated by his blood, causing her to transform into a Hulk.

Afterwards, Walters was taken to Banner’s secret laboratory in Mexico, where he explained her special genetic condition and offered to help her control her powers. Though she was able to effortlessly handle Banner’s training regimen, she rejected the idea of becoming a superhero and abandoning her normal life.
After coming back to her normal life, she was back in court, where Walters was interrupted by a woman violently bursting through a wall. The woman is identified as superpowered influencer Titania and while trying to save people from getting hurt, Jen had to transform and revealed her newfound powers to everyone.
She is broadcast as a new superhero with people trying to give her different names from chick-Hulk to girl-Hulk and finally settling on She-Hulk. While the world may be hailing the new superhero, she gets fired from her job and no other firm wants to hire an attorney who would bring more focus on herself than the work she will be doing.
Marvel also released a clip from the episode, where she had to attend a family dinner and her recent developments make her feel inferior in front of her cousin Ched, who became a manager at Best Buy. He was also mentioned in the last episode by Bruce when they were talking about the geniuses in their family.

A hilarious train of thought from the dinner comes out about Hawkeye and what happens to his arrows. Does he go back and collects them? That is what asked being asked to Jen and is definitely hilarious. And to comfort Jen, her father tells her that at least she didn’t destroy a city. Ahem.
Meanwhile, Jen wallows in her sadness and dark future as an attorney, she is visited by the head of her organisation that fired her and offer her to work at their new Superhero division. Obviously out of choices, she immediately takes up the offer but is disappointed to find out that her powers are the sole reason to get her the job.
Moreover, the first case assigned to her is of Hulk’s arch enemy who even tried to kill Bruce. Conflicted with whether to take the job or not, she finally visits Emil Blonsky aka the Abomination. His changed appearance and positive outlook on life make her take up the case, as everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves. But it might not be the best decision Jen has made.
Final Thoughts: She-Hulk Attorney at Law Episode 2
The episode runtime excluding the credits was about some 20 minutes and it quickly shows how Jen comes up to work in the Superhero law division at GLK&H. Although, it seems like her new role might be filled with some dangerous personalities, controversies and office politics. She might not have the best time either as Jen Walters or She-Hulk.
By breaking the fourth wall, Jen voices her thoughts about unfair hiring, when someone gets hired due to their status and connections and everyone in the office hates them for that. But this time she is on that side and feels like her abilities as a lawyer are undermined in front of her superpowers.
The episode laid low on any action or face-off between She-Hulk and Titania again. But by the looks of how the episode ended, the next episode will be filled with much more action. Also, to mention the mid-credit scene this week, even superheroes can’t escape their parents making them do all the chores around the house when they visit.
She-Hulk Attorney at Law is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
