The Retreat

The Retreat is the seventh episode of the first season of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
==Synopsis==
Jen visits Blonsky's wellness retreat, meets new friends and gets in touch with her inner She-Hulk.
==Plot==
Jennifer Walters steps out of the shower and gets a text from Josh Miller. She reads it then gets ready for the new day. Miller then arrives at her house. She leaves for a date. She spends the next couple days texting and going out with him. On one occasion, she realizes she didn't kiss him and quickly steps back out only to find he was gone. They then go to a drive-in movie. She wakes up on Friday after sleeping with Miller and texts Miller, but doesn't get a response.
At GLK&H Los Angeles Office, Nikki Ramos tells Walters not to let Intelligencia gets to her. She assures Ramos that it won't. However, what is getting to her is the fact that Miller hasn't texted her back. On Saturday, she does yoga and watches television while repeatedly checking her phone for a text. On Sunday, she gets a call from Emil Blonsky's parole officer, telling Walters that Blonsky's monitor went off. He asks she could meet him at the Retreat just in case Blonsky turns into the Abomination.
At the Retreat, the officer has Walters hulk out as they walk in. As it turns out, Blonsky's inhibitor is malfunctioning from an electric fence shock. The officer fixes it and quickly leaves. As Walters walks to her car, Man-Bull and Águila run in fighting. Águila is thrown onto Walters car and destroys it. They apologizes and Man-Bull explains that Blonsky has taught him how to manage his anger. Walters is forced to stay at the Retreat. As Walters and Blonsky walk around, he jokingly tells her she got a text, knowing she has been waiting for one. However, as they walk more, Blonsky realizes that Walter's priorities are other places and lets her walk by herself. Walters then spends time walking around the forest to find service. She finally gets some in a barn.
As she walks into the barn, she finds Blonsky, Man-Bull, Águila, Porcupine, and Saracen in a therapy session. Man-Bull is afraid of matador's and keeps thinking Águila is one. Blonsky talks about vulnerability and tells Porcupine that taking his suit off would help. Suddenly, Wrecker arrives apologizing for being late. Walters asks if Wrecker was "Previously on'd," but then reminds the audience that he attacked her. Walters hulks out and throws Wercker, but is stopped by Blonsky. He has She-Hulk sit and talk about her problems. Wrecker tells her that he has moved on from the Wrecking Crew.
After a little convincing, she talks about Miller and how he hasn't texted her back. The interested men ask her what the last thing she texted him: "That was fun, I can't stop smiling." That gets a laugh from the group who call her thirsty. She then explains she just texted him again and the group tells her it was a bad idea. She says that Miller isn't interested in She-Hulk and she loves him for it. She goes on to admit that she could turn into everyone's hero anytime she wants to and people love her for it, but it feels like cheating. Then one guy comes along and cares about Walters, not She-Hulk. The men then conclude that they should attack Miller, but are talked down by Blonsky. They tell Walters that she needs to spend more time as herself and not She-Hulk.
The men ask her not to use She-Hulk as a protective shield and to be Walters. She then switches back, which prompts Porcupine to finally take his mask off, but it smells so bad that it gets a groan from the group. They then tell Walters to delete Miller's number to make herself feel better. Walters goes into a steam room and steps out refreshed. When the tow company comes, she thanks them and leaves. Blonsky tells her to come again when she wants, she tells him that she won't until he gets wifi.
Three days earlier, after sleeping with Walters, Miller sits upright and uses his phone to copy all of the information off Walters' phone while also taking a nude picture of Walters. He then texts HulkKing, informing them that he successfully acquired a sample of Walters' blood.
