==Synopsis==
Jen Walters's world is turned upside down after a freak accident leaves her with superpowers.
==Plot==
Jennifer Walters practices her speech for court and Nikki Ramos tells her it was a very good speech. Walters was handpicked to go against Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway. As she walks out of her office, Walters addresses to the audience that she is a Hulk. She then says that she should bring us up to speed. A few months ago, Bruce Banner and Walters take a road trip. Banner talks about how he made a device that keeps him in Human form.
Walters talks about her theory of Steve Rogers' love life, concluding that he was a virgin. Suddenly, a Sakaaran Class-Eight Courier Craft lands in front of them causing Walters to have to swerve off the road. The car falls down a cliff and turns over. When Walters gets up, she helps Banner who orders her to get away from his blood. When she picks him up, his blood drips into her open wound. This transforms her into a She-Hulk and she runs away.
Walters wakes up in the woods a little later and goes to a bar to wipe off. In the restroom, four women come in and see the blood and dirt. They think a man dumped her and try to fix her up, saying she doesn't need him. Outside, men try to talk to Walters and hook up which angers her. She then lashes out and turns into She-Hulk again only for Hulk to tackle her. She wakes up again in a room. Walters opens the door to find they are at a private island. She walks downstairs to find Smart Hulk in his laboratory. He explains that he spent time there after he experimented on himself. Tony Stark had bought him the island.
Hulk tries to explain that Walters was exposed to lethal gamma radiation in his blood, turning her into a She-Hulk, but her blood also allowed him to heal his damaged arm caused by the Blip. Walters tells him to create a device to suppress the Hulk like he did, but he says he cannot and she can't go back to what she was before. Hulk makes Walters pancakes and informs her she can't go back to her job and she has to avoid stressful situations. He puts Walter in a chamber and sends saws moving towards her. This causes She-Hulk to come out and stop the machine. She then breaks out and throws the door at Hulk. He tries to talk her down, but is amazed, and a little jealous, that she is conscious when she is the Hulk, which he was not able to do for years.
She-Hulk asks how to turn back to herself and Hulk gives her options: being knocked out, a lullaby, other methods. Hulk begins to train her how to stay calm in stressful situations. They try yoga, but She-Hulk doesn't want to. The next day, Hulk wakes her up by air horn for testing and sees she reverts back to Walters in her sleep. They begin their next day which includes balancing and strength testing. She-Hulk throws a rock and is proud of herself, but Hulk throws a rock into space to show her off. He then pushes She-Hulk off a cliff, prompting her to flip him off before jumping back up to their ledge. However, She-Hulk just wants to go back to being a lawyer. Hulk decides to show her the upsides of being a Hulk. They can drink all they want without getting drunk.
The two reminisce and Banner talks about how Stark and him built his bar. The next day, Walters in human form has a hangover. They go to yoga and Walters is too focused on getting back to her life, but Hulk has to remind her that she can't. Walters explains that she holds back her anger everyday. She then packs up and gets in a car to leave. Hulk tells her that she has the life of a superhero now, but Walters tells him she doesn't want to be a superhero. She brings up Banner's life and how he lost everything before she steps on the gas. Hulk tries to stop the car, but he thrown into a pile of rocks. Walters gets out to see if he is okay, he then scolds her prompting Walters to turn into She-Hulk. A fight breaks out and Hulk ends it but causing a sonic wave with a clap. She-Hulk does her clap, but knows it isn't as powerful as Hulk, so she claps many times to cause enough force to incapacitate Hulk for a short time. They then fight some more until they crash into Banner's bar. They stop to fix the bar and Hulk tells her that she could go back to her life. Walters then leaves.
In present day, Walters says that nobody else knows and now she's going to win the case, calling it a lawyer show. As she starts her speech, a powered woman, Titania, charges into the courtroom. Ramos convinces her to turn into She-Hulk, prompting Titania to tiredly ask what she is doing. She-Hulk announces herself as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. She then punches Titania into a wall, knocking her out. She-Hulk turns back into Walters, puts on her heels, and prepares for her closing argument. A drunk Walters in her human form cries about how Rogers was a virgin. Hulk explains that he lost it in 1943 on the USO Tour. Walters then reveals that she wasn't drunk and announces that she proved what Captain America did.
