Ribbit and Rip It

"Ribbit and Rip It" is the eighth episode of the Disney+ streaming television series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and was released October 6, 2022. It was written by Cody Ziglar and directed by Kat Coiro.
==Synopsis==
She-Hulk represents Leap-Frog who was injured due to a malfunction in his custom-made super suit.
==Plot==
Equipped with Leap-Frog's suit, made by Luke Jacobson, Eugene Patilio attempts to stop a robbery but fails miserably. When he tries to fly away and escape, the suit's engine malfunctions and Patilio falls on the ground, with fire burning his leg. Patilio contacts the law firm Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, asking if She-Hulk could help him file a lawsuit agaist Jacobson. She-Hulk is hesitant, since Jacobson was the only tailor who could make her a dress for the Female Lawyer Awards gala, but Holden Holliway insists, since Patilio's father is an important client, and he requested She-Hulk as his lawyer.
She-Hulk meets with Jacobson to settle things outside the court; however, Jacobson is furious that she assumed that he would make a defective suit, and refuses to make a dress for She-Hulk. During the trial, Jacobson is being represented by Matt Murdock who makes an argument against presenting testimonies from Jacobson's other superhero clients, as they require anonymity. Price denies She-Hulk's counterclaims, before Murdock finds out that Patilio used jet fuel for the suit, which was strictly against Jacobson's instructions, thus proving Jacobson's innocence. Walters later meets Murdock in bar, who offers her a peace offering and they have a friendly chat. Murdock says that Walters has potential to help people as both lawyer and She-Hulk, before he abruptly leaves.
Walters later receives a call from Todd Phelps who bought the Vibranium spear from the auction, but the Wakandans demand it back, so he requires She-Hulk's legal help. However, Phelps then starts harassing She-Hulk, prompting her to refuse and leave. Back at her apartment, Walters receives a call from Patilio that he was being attacked by someone. She-Hulk finds Patilio driving at his car, while being attacked by Daredevil and fights him, while Patilio gets away. She-Hulk eventually strikes Daredevil down and unmasks him, discovering that he was actually Matt Murdock. Murdock tells Walters that after losing a trial, Patilio kidnapped Jacobson, so he would make suits for him, so both Walters and Murdock go to rescue him.
Once they make it to Lily Pad, where Patilio was holding Jacobson, and although Daredevil suggests proceeding stealthily, She-Hulk insists a more direct approach. Daredevil breaks into the building and fights Patilio's goons before being joined by She-Hulk. In a subsequent fight, She-Hulk and Daredevil liberate Jacobson and Patilio attempts to run away, only to fall on the ground and injure himself again. Afterwards, Walters and Murdock talk on a roof and Murdock says that he will be returning to New York City soon and suggests going on a dinner once he returns to Los Angeles. Walters instead suggests skipping all that and they go to Walters' apartment, where they have sex.
The next morning, as Daredevil leaves Walters' apartment, Nikki Ramos tells Walters that it was the time to go to Female Lawyer Award, which confuses Walters who thought that it was the end of the episode. She-Hulk and Ramos attend a gala, where She-Hulk, Mallory Book, and more lawyers receive an award. However, the Intelligencia hijacks a broadcast at a gala, exposing Walters' personal information and a video of her having sex with Josh Miller, claiming that She-Hulk does not deserve anyone's admiration for powers she "stole" from the Hulk, and proceed to call her a slur. She-Hulk loses her temper and punches the screen before chasing the Intelligencia members at the gala; however, she gets arrested by the Damage Control agents.

==Trivia==
*An extract from the original opening theme of Daredevil can be heard, when Matt reveals his superhero alias to Jennifer.
*It is revealed in this episode that the Sokovia Accords have been repealed.
*Matt Murdock's new Daredevil suit is shades of reds and yellows, reminiscent of his original comic book suit colours.
*When Matt takes on several of Leapfrog's henchgoons, the scene is reminiscent of the hallway fight scene from the Netflix Daredevil series.
* There are two twists that Jennifer speculates:
** One is a Red Hulk, which Thunderbolt Ross would become.
** Second is her getting "Fridged". "Fridged" is a term coined by comic writer Gail Simone, used to describe how in comics, female characters would be killed solely to move the plot forward, usually to advance the story of a male character.
* When Nikki offers to help Jennifer with her makeup, she sticks the makeup gear between her fingers, similar to Wolverine's claws.
* In the Lilypad, Leapfrog's henchgoons can be seen working on what looks like a Frog Signal, in a likely homage to Batman's Bat Signal. This is a rare occurrence of Marvel referencing their rival, DC Comics, without making fun of them.
*The QR code which appears on a street sign when Jen & Matt arrive at the Lilypad leads to a digital copy of Issue Nine of the 2014 She-Hulk comic run, in which Jennifer defends Steve Rogers in court, with Matt Murdock as prosecutor.
