Plot[]

Jennifer Walters gets fired
News reports surface following the Attack on the Los Angeles Metropolitan Courthouse making She-Hulk a popular name, despite Walters' disliking of it. Walters and Nikki Ramos go to a bar where Dennis Bukowski tells her it's low to use her powers for publicity. Walters argues that only he would think that. The D.A. Boss asks her to return to human form, which causes Walters to feel the effects of her drinking. He then tells her that because she saved the jury, the opposition thinks it swayed their vote and called for a mistrial. He tells Walters he has to let her go.

The Walters have dinner
Walters wakes up in the morning to hear Hulk calling her, asking if she is okay. She goes around Los Angeles looking at job interviews, but all of them decline due to her new found fame. Ramos helps Walters get a new job. However, Walters has moved on and looks at new jobs to start, she then gets a text from her mother. Walters arrives at her parents' house. Ched points out that she had been fired, much to the displeasure of everyone at the table. The family asks her questions about being a superhero, which overwhelms her. Her father disrupts the table to bring Walters into the garage and ask her if she's alright. He ends up telling her that it happened and she needs to move on.

Holden Holliway shows Jennifer Walters around
Walters soon finds herself at a bar when Holden Holliway offers her a job at Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway. She accepts if she could hire her own paralegal. He tells her he doesn't care who her paralegal is and she starts Monday. At her first day, Holliway tells her he wants her to be She-Hulk all the time when she works. She does not like the idea, but rolls with it. Holliway asks her how she feels about it, and she tells him she's "agnostic". Which only gets a chuckle out of him. When she gets to her office, she realizes how big it is. Augustus Pugliese barges in with a welcome basket, introducing himself as "Pug".

Jennifer Walters meets Emil Blonsky
Walters learns her first case, which is the parole of the Abomination. Walters claims she cannot represent him because of the conflict of interest that is his past with Hulk. Holliway notifies her that Blonsky knows about the conflict and signed a waiver. Walters still doesn't want to take the case, but Holliway threatens to fire her. Walters arrives at the prison, only for the guard to tell her no powers. They walk into Blonsky's cell and she sees him locked up in a glass cell. Blonsky greets her and promises that he learned how to transform back into himself and dealt with the hatred he had, shutting it down. He then addresses the elephant in the room. Blonsky claims trying to kill Banner was nothing personal. Walters argued that he went on a rampage, but Blonsky claims that he was tasked by the government and then they pumped him full of the Super Soldier Serum. This sparks Walters' interests. Blonsky offers haiku's to his victims that shows his remorse. Walters tells him that he needs to tell the truth, but Blonsky says he is telling the truth, he just wants to live in peace.

Abomination's fight is leaked
The next morning, Holliway calls, expecting to hear Walters decision. She calls Banner for guidance. Banner tells her that he's okay with it and Blonsky even sent him a haiku a while back and they made up. Walters asks him if he's coming to Los Angeles, but Hulk says he isn't going to come for a while. He then sits back as the Sakaaran Class-Eight Courier Craft that he is on flies away. Walters calls to accept the job, but Holliway tells her to turn on the television. She sees that a video of Abomination at an underground fighting ring has surfaced. Abomination somehow escaped from prison months ago. Walters remarks how that sucks. Earlier, She-Hulk helps her family fix things around the house with her powers.

Trivia[]
- While discussing the Duel of Harlem, Hulk says that he is a "completely different person now, literally" before Jennifer Walters breaks the fourth-wall to sarcastically laugh at it. This is a reference to Edward Norton's recast to Mark Ruffalo after The Incredible Hulk.
- The scene where She-Hulk changes into her human form while being drunk before learning she was fired is a nod to Dan Slott's She-Hulk run, where she does the same thing after being requested to work at GLK&H.
- The sequence A113 appears in the Damage Control Supermax Prison, a reference to the famous Pixar easter egg. This is the fourth appearance of the sequence after The Avengers, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and the WandaVision episode On a Very Special Episode....
- Before meeting with Emil Blonsky, Jennifer Walters asks Lillas if she will be served "fava beans and a nice Chianti". This is a reference to a line spoken by Hannibal Lecter (portrayed by Anthony Hopkins) in The Silence of the Lambs.
- While job-hunting, Jennifer Walters browses on a site suggesting "10 Offbeat Jobs for a Fresh Start". In the related articles section, there is a headline, "Man fights with metal claws in bar brawl", which is believed to be a reference to the Marvel Comics mutant superhero Wolverine.
