With the surprise at the end of last week’s episode, where else can the show go from here? Welcome to ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Episode 6 - “Just Jen.”

We open on Jennifer (Tatiana Maslany) getting an invite from a childhood friend to be her bridesmaid. The invite is covered in so much glitter! Nikki asks to see the super suit that Luke Jacobson (Griffin Matthews) made her, but Jen insists she won’t wear it. Instead, she shows off her bridesmaid’s dress.

She turns to the camera, explaining this episode is a “self-contained” wedding episode in the middle of the season. But she is also going to look good in it anyway!

We then cut to the reveal of her at the wedding party, in She-Hulk form. Everyone loves it, but the bride, Lulu (Patti Harrison) asks her not to be all Hulked-out for the reception because it’s her big day. Jen promises and tells the audience that of course, this is the one day she decides not to be Jen.

Moving to Mallory’s (Renée Elise Goldsberry) meeting with her client, Mr. Immortal (David Pasquesi) as they discuss his divorce case. He explains he’s tried marriage “many times” and goes off on the reasons that his marriages never worked.

Mallory asks if he has actually been killing himself instead of divorcing, because he’s immortal and can’t die. They discover that is exactly what he has been doing and as Mallory and Nikki break out into arguments, Immortal just throws himself out the window, but survives the fall. “Well, at least we know how he does it,” Nikki notes.

Jen is at the reception dinner as Lulu walks over and mentions how they haven’t caught up. She asks how her life has been, but then cuts Jen off to ask about her love life. As her friend walks away, Titania (Jameela Jamil) enters and instantly throws everything off.

Everyone thinks Jen’s insane for claiming that Titania is there to ruin things for her, and she runs outside to calm down. As she’s resting, a man named Josh (Trevor Salter) approaches her. As they talk, Lulu steps up and asks Jen to help clean after the waitstaff leaves because of the disrespectful way the bride was treating them.

At the law office, Nikki and Mallory are still dealing with Mr. Immortal and all the situations he killed himself to get out of, including credit card debits and marriages. The ex-wives go after him, claiming that he was lucky not to be in prison.

Back at Lulu’s wedding, Jen is given the shirts of the groomsmen to iron as if she’s now the maid. At the same time, the groomsman she will be paired with at the wedding arrives … and it’s literally a dog. By the look on her face, it’s obvious Jen is not happy.

Mr. Immortal offers to pay off his debits using gold and stocks he’s had hidden for centuries. The spouses argue against that, as they want real retribution for what they’ve all been through. With that, Immortal attempts to leave by jumping out the window, again, but is stopped by Mallory.

Nikki has a solution and offers to make sure the money is spread evenly among the plaintiffs. Mallory asks Immortal if that works for him, and again, he tries to weasel his way out of it, but the two lawyers convince him to take the deal.

Back at the wedding, Jen does what she can to shake off the humiliation of the whole event by getting drunk at the cash only bar. Then she starts doing the one thing you absolutely don’t do, and that’s calling ex’s while drunk.

She’s then approached by Josh, but Jen is absolutely hammered. He asks if she’s a romantic, and she tells him that she just wants to show people that’s she’s doing pretty good. Josh tells her that she’s pretty great herself, after she mentions She-Hulk being amazing. But then she goes outside to vomit and even that is thrown out of control by Titania following her to fight.

Titania taunts Jen by asking why she isn’t turning green, and then says it’s not fun when she isn’t She-Hulk. Jen replies by saying that Titania is obsessed with her, and attempts to Hulk-out, but can’t … at first. Jen focuses and is able to transform, finally fighting back and throwing Titania to the ground.

The two continue to battle in the middle of the wedding, with She-Hulk completely kicking Titania’s butt, and all the wedding guests taking pictures and posting to social media. Lulu enters and stops the fight, but rather than being angry, is also drunk and forgives Jen. Fixing everything in the process!

Back at the office, Mallory and Nikki laugh over the videos of Mr. Immortal online. Mallory reveals to Nikki that she’s both married and has children, but the two stop when they discover a message board called “Intelligencia” dedicated to killing She-Hulk. Mallory tells her not to tell Jen but of course, Nikki calls her on the ride home and leaves a lengthy voicemail.

We then cut to a lab that is monitoring Jen and Josh at the wedding. A mysterious figure in a lab coat is looking at Jen’s vitals on a computer and receives a message from someone named “HulkKing” that reads, “Is the next phase of the plan ready to go?”

We then see the person in the lab coat with the broken syringe that the Wrecking Crew used on She-Hulk in episode 3. The device is replaced with a new one, and then locked in a small suitcase with an atomic waste symbol on the front before the episode ends and the credits begin to roll.

This week, ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ was able to deliver a fun and entertaining “self-contained episode,” which calms the pacing and gives us a chance to relax and enjoy just a little bit of story that may or may not be connected to everything else that is happening in the series.

With some of the other Marvel Disney+ series, those shows were basically movies split into episodes, with the action never really slowing down long enough to allow the viewers to breath. While “She-Hulk” is indeed a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s not on the same action level as, say, ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ or ‘Moon Knight.’ ‘She-Hulk’ definitely has its moments of action, but it relies heavily on its great humor and comedic timing.

While it may have a lack of action, ‘She-Hulk’ still stands on its own in the roster of Marvel TV shows. Its comedy is a huge high point, and demonstrates that the MCU really doesn’t need constant, in your face fight scenes to leave a great impression on the audience. Diversity in TV is important, and frankly, Marvel is killing it!

With this fun “filler” episode, we can only wait to see what comes next!

Can’t wait to see you all then!
