You perfectly knew wherever She-Hulk: Attorney astatine Law was heading with its play finale. But Marvel knew you knew. So what you got alternatively was a person that redefined “fourth wall-breaking,” brought backmost immoderate acquainted faces, and past introduced a brand-new, perchance important 1 to the MCU.

We prime up not close wherever Episode 8 near off, astatine the FLOTY gala, but immoderate clip after, with Jen locked up astatine the DODC. Mallory, Nikki and Pug travel to visit, not to perceive Jen’s thoughts connected however to instrumentality ineligible enactment against Intelligencia, but to sermon her own defence strategy, having violently Hulked retired astatine the event.

Jen agrees to an ankle inhibitor similar the 1 she negotiated for Emil Blonsky, but the harm is already done: She loses her occupation and can’t find different one, truthful she moves retired of her flat and backmost into her puerility bedroom. Then successful a bid for immoderate privacy, she goes to clang astatine Blonsky’s retreat.

Nikki meantime uses a video of Jen twerking astatine assemblage (courtesy of Mama Walters) to curry favour connected the Intelligencia tract and people an invitation from HulkKing himself to a gathering that night. Knowing that that the incels are expecting a “bro,” Nikki coerces Pug into attending the gathering and acting his worst. There, with Nikki offering guidance done his iPhone AirPod, Pug learns that GLK&H lawsuit Todd Phelps is HulkKing.

Just arsenic Todd introduces their impermanent talker for the night, Abomination, Jen roams Blonsky’s retreat ands heads to the barn — which successful information is the tract of the Intelligencia gathering! Blonsky shrinks backmost down and explains to his lawyer that it’s simply a paid speaking gig, but their speech is chopped abbreviated by Todd juicing himself up with immoderate of Jen’s stolen, synthesized humor to “Hulk out” into a big, green, female-hating machine. Things get crazier and crazier arsenic Hulk himself crashes done the barn roof, Titania smashes done a broadside wall, and Blonsky returns to his Abomination form. As a melee ensues, Jen remarks to the camera this frankly doesn’t marque a full batch of sense. “Is this moving for you?,” she asks us, earlier the surface abruptly changes into a facsimile of the Disney+ Marvel hub. She-Hulk past climbs retired of the tile for her ain amusement and swings down into the 1 for the Marvel Assembled series.

She-Hulk strolls the Disney batch and into the accumulation offices for… her show. She finds the writers country and confronts the scribes (real-life caput writer Jessica Gao included), asking, “What benignant of anserine finale is this?” She-Hulk grumbles that the Hulk Todd twist borrowed from “every superhero communicative ever,” past asks, “Why don’t we bash things our ain way?” One sheepish writer explains, “This is the communicative that K.E.V.I.N. wants.”

Jen marches disconnected to conscionable with this K.E.V.I.N. (who if you didn’t person closed-captioning on, you surely assumed was Marvel Studios main Kevin Feige), and aft signing a long-ass NDA and muscling past immoderate guards, enters a cavernous country filled with screens playing Marvel clips. There, she comes look to look with K.E.V.I.N., a “giant A.I. brain” whose sanction stands for “Knowledge Enhanced Visual Interconnectivity Nexus.” (Even Grant Ward has to admit that acronym.)

For fund reasons, She-Hulk shrinks backmost down to being Jen (off-camera, since the VFX squad has moved connected to different projects). She past launches into her “closing argument,” noting that “it is often said that Marvel movies each extremity the aforesaid way,” unleashing “plot and flash” and successful this lawsuit “a full humor happening that is suspiciously adjacent to the Super Soldier Serum.” Jen proposes that K.E.V.I.N. drops the Hulk Todd twist, gets escaped of Bruce (even though K.E.V.I.N. says they were astir to explai—), and shrink backmost down Emil/hold him accountable. Jen past starts rattling disconnected the MCU’s reliance connected “daddy issues” (for Tony, Thor, Loki, Star-Lord….), earlier K.E.V.I.N. announces that the mistake that allowed her wrong has been fixed. “Now get backmost to the show,”  K.E.V.I.N. says. “See you connected the large screen” — though helium claims to conscionable beryllium teasing astir the second part.

Returning to her rejiggered, daytime mentation of the finale, Jen assures Todd that she volition beryllium suing him into oblivion… has Blonsky motion a caller woody that volition nonstop him backmost to the DODC… and welcomes backmost Daredevil/Matt Murdock. Matt successful information winds up staying with the Walterses for a week after, starting disconnected with a household BBQ wherever helium is peppered with questions astir his and Jen’s future, his instrumentality signifier and more. Cousin Bruce past shows up for real, backmost from Sakaar, to present everyone to his son, Skaar (played astatine slightest successful this lawsuit by Wil Deusner aka DC’s Stargirl‘s Joey Zarick).

A mid-credits country past reveals that Blonsky summoned Wong (traveling without Madisynn, alas) to outpouring him from the DODC and hook him up with a country astatine Kamar-Taj.
