Jen is invited to the wedding of her high school friend Lulu, while Nikki and Mallory handle Mr. Immortal's divorce settlement... all eight of them.
Tropes:
- Adaptational Sexuality: In the comics, Mr Immortal has had two known relationships, both to women (his first wife Terri, and fellow Great Lakes Avenger Dinah Soar). In the series, one of his exes is a man.
- Alcohol-Induced Bisexuality: Lulu is very impressed by the size of She-Hulk's breasts while drunk, but it doesn't go further than that.
- Alcohol-Induced Stupidity: Downplayed, but Jen gets so smashed during the wedding that she temporarily forgets how to transform into She-Hulk.
- Artistic Licence – Law: While Mr Immortal's claim that he was released from all his marriages by his "deaths" is rightly disregarded by everyone, nobody raises that this means all but one of these marriages are invalid.
- Aside Glance: While looking at the computer at the end of the episode with Mallory, Nikki briefly glances at the camera.
- Bait-and-Switch:
- As Jen is talking with Josh, she suddenly looks panicked and says, "It's happening..." making the viewer think she's about to accidentally turn into She-Hulk... then it cuts to her puking in the bushes.
- After She-Hulk and Titania's fight at the wedding, the camera pans to reveal Lulu in the background, looking at the destruction in disbelief. As Jen tries to explain herself, Lulu slowly approaches her... and reveals she's roaring drunk and suddenly over the moon about She-Hulk being at her wedding.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. She-Hulk and Titania are unaffected by each other's punches, but Titania tripping on the ground breaks the veneers on her teeth and earns her a ticket to the dentist.
- Biting-the-Hand Humor: When Jen announces she's going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding and that this will be a self-contained episode that in no way advances the overarching plot, she turns to the camera and acknowledges that this is an inconvenience given the limited number of episodes left in the season but they're doing it anyway.
- Black Comedy:
- Mr. Immortal's solution to uncomfortable situations? Kill himself of course! Since he has Resurrective Immortality, he can shrug it off.
- Jonathan, the sickly small dog that Jen will walk down the aisle with is mentioned to have needed resuscitation that morning. Clearly, the poor thing is just hanging onto the mortal coil by a thread.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Jen addresses the audience at the beginning of the episode, saying, yes, this is a Wedding Episode, which is inconveniently occurring in the middle of the season, but that's how weddings are: inconvenient. She attends as She-Hulk, and after the bride scolds her for taking attention away, She-Hulk remarks to the viewer that the one time she showed up as She-Hulk, someone found that undesirable.
- Bridezilla: Lulu is obnoxious as the bride-to-be, to put it mildly. Half the staff quits because she mistreats them, which leads to Jen being saddled with cleaning duty.
- Bullying a Dragon: Jen is invited to the wedding and is essentially made into the wedding's gopher. She's sent to get drinks, does one of the groomsman's laundry while they're playing video games, has to be paired off with the bride's dog. A more straight-forward example for the trope happens when Titania drops the pretense and challenges a drunk Jen, who curb-stomps her almost immediately.
- Couch Gag: Once again, the title shot of the show is changed. This time, it's "Just Jen: Attorney at Law", in accordance with Jen's promise not to be She-Hulk at the wedding.
- Curb Stomp Cushion: Compared to their last fight, Titania actually manages to go toe-to-toe with She-Hulk for a bit and even lands a few blows. Jen eventually seizes the upper hand, and Titania (who notices that most of the onlookers have their phones out) tries to get it back, only to trip and fall flat on her face. At that point, she's forced to leave with what little dignity she has left.
- Depraved Bisexual: Mr. Immortal loves getting into relationships, taking shameless advantage of his partners, then killing himself in an effort to avoid any legal consequences. Fortunately, in a world newly acquainted with super heroes, he can no longer get away with this quite so easily. One of his eight still living partners is a man.
- Drowning My Sorrows: Jen is not enjoying the wedding, after being belittled by the Bridezilla, made to do cleanup duty and ironing, and asked to walk down the aisle with a dog. She goes outside to drink and ends up so piss drunk that she vomits in the flowers and has trouble transforming into She-Hulk.
- Epic Fail:
- Jen gets one when she's so drunk she faceplants taking a swing at Titania, then realizes she forgot how to Hulk out.
- Titania charges at She-Hulk but accidentally slips on ice cubes and water. She hits her face on the ground so hard her veneers break, and the water smudges her makeup. Cue Villainous Breakdown.
- Evil Is Petty:
- Titania, once again. She worms her way into Lulu's wedding just so she can get an opportunity to sucker-punch Jen.
- After being floored by She-Hulk and embarrassed, Titania insults the guests and steals the top of the cake on her way out.
- Faking the Dead: Mr. Immortal fakes his death to get out of marriage and even uncomfortable conversations. Not so effective in modern times when everyone has a camera phone.
- Fictional Social Network: She-Hulk has a dedicated page on Intelligencia (a website resembling KiwiFarms, Reddit, and LiveLeak) where Nikki and Mallory discover everything from hateful memes to death threats against Jen.
- Forgot About His Powers: Jennifer gets so drunk she forgets how to transform into She Hulk at the vital time.
- I Have Many Names: When Mallory and Nikki first sit down and speak with Mr. Immortal, he indicates that despite the paperwork identifying him as Craig Hollis, he wants to be called Mr. Immortal. Later, each of his ex-spouses calls him by a different name, since he invented numerous fake identities with each new resurrection, so whether he's really called Craig Hollis is unclear.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: After dealing with Lulu and her other bridesmaids, Jen hits the bar and asks for a heavy pour. Cue a montage of dancing then paying for drinks, repeated several times and Jen becomes increasingly hammered.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: Nikki arranges settlements for all of Mr. Immortal's eight spouses, with one demanding 15 seconds of eye contact and a sincere apology. He finds that condition somewhat onerous, so Nikki bumps it up to 20. The credits show her timing it on her phone as he's sweating bullets.
- Immortality Bisexuality: One of Mr. Immortal's eight ex-spouses is a man.
- In Name Only: Craig Hollis/Mr. Immortal in the comics was a superhero and all that entails: young, fit, dressed in a bright costume, and dedicated to protecting people. This Craig/Mr. Immortal has gray hair, dresses like a civilian, and constantly leaves his partners (some of whom he had children with) by committing suicide (he gets better) just because he doesn't want to have a conversation with them. There's even the implication that "Craig Hollis" isn't his actual name, since each of his former spouses refers to him by a different name.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While Lulu is obnoxious and rude to Jen, she is right that if Jen appears as She-Hulk the attention will unduly shift to her, especially considering it's Lulu's wedding.
- Lampshade Hanging: After Titania attacks Jen, she reminds her how she literally said she wasn’t finished with her in the previous episode.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After Titania sells her way into Lulu's wedding to mess with Jen and then starts a fight with her, she gets what she deserves when the fight causes her to slip on ice cubes and fall flat on the floor, breaking her teeth and humiliating her enough to leave the wedding.
- Marshmallow Hell: A downplayed example, but both times Lulu hugs Jen in She-Hulk form, it involves having her face in Jen's chest. The first time it's played for awkwardness as it's right after she has asked Jen not to hulk out and hog all the attention at the wedding. The second time she's incredibly drunk and just seems impressed with her breasts.
- The Missus and the Ex: All of Mr. Immortal's exes are allied against him during the divorce case, though they do squabble over who gets what share of the settlement. Nikki is able to sort that out.
- Mister Muffykins: The cherry on top of Lulu's spoiled Bridezilla cake is that she makes Jen walk down the aisle with Jonathan, a tiny, big-eared dog with its tongue sticking out, instead of a groomsman. Side comments about Jonathan include that he had to be resuscitated and that he's "leaking".
- Mood Whiplash: The episode is pretty lighthearted, going back and forth between Jen's problems with her Bridezilla friend's wedding and Mallory and Nikki handling a settlement for Mr. Immortal. Then the latter two discover a webpage that's pretty much a hate site for Jen, up to the point of discussing ways to kill her, and the final scene is the mysterious backers of the Wrecking Crew gearing up for a second shot at Jen.
- Mythology Gag:
- "The Intelligencia" was the name of an organization in the Hulk comics formed by a number of Hulk foes seeking to destroy him.
- Baroness Cromwell, Mr Immortal's presumably late first wife, is a reference to the vampire villainess Baroness Blood, whose real name was Lily Cromwell.
- Nice to the Waiter: Inverted. If Lulu's snide comments at Jen didn't already make it clear that she was a terrible person, the staff at her wedding (aside from the DJ) walk out due to her mistreatment.
- No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Titania is willing to sucker-punch Jen because she's petty, but she doesn't try to throw any more punches until Jen turns because she wants to defeat She-Hulk.
- Pet the Dog: After Jen’s fight with Titania, Lulu doesn’t get mad at Jen; instead, she’s just excited to have She-Hulk at her wedding. Since she's clearly drunk, that likely helped.
- Punny Name: Ched is the DJ at Lulu's wedding, calling himself the "In-Ched-ible Hulk". Jen is not amused.
- Resurrective Immortality: Mr. Immortal regenerates every time he suffers a fatal injury. He abuses this by committing suicide every time he wants out of a marriage but doesn't want to have a conversation.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Mr. Immortal defenestrates himself from Mallory's office to get out of her and Nikki castigating him, pancaking a car dozens of stories below before regenerating and walking away. Unfortunately for him, this doesn't solve the problem, and they're now even less willing to cut him some slack.
- Shout-Out:
- The bridesmaids point to the groom and his friends playing Mario Kart (and the guys wrinkled their shirts doing so).
- During the wedding preparations, one of Lulu's bridesmaids mentions Team Edward and Team Jacob.
- Jen asks Titania "Why are you obsessed with me?"
- When Nikki and Mallory click a link on Intelligencia, the login screen that pops up uses Dennis Nedry's "Ah-ah-ah!" tutting sound from Jurassic Park (1993).
- Social Media Is Bad: She-Hulk has caught the eye of an online forum calling itself the Intelligencia. They do everything from create unflattering memes to actively wishing for someone to kill her.
- Spotting the Thread: Jen is suspicious of Titania getting into her (very lapsed) friend's wedding as a plus-one, and further enquiries reveal that there aren't too many plus-one's being handed out for this wedding.
- Stealth Pun: Doubly so when Mr. Immortal jumps out of the window of GLK & H and lands on a car; that car belongs to Higman Security — one more 'h' and it's "Highman" (one who has suddenly become a low man) and they can't even keep their cars secure.
- Sudden Downer Ending: The last scene shows some mysterious figures in a lab analyzing She-Hulk, with one of them preparing an upgraded syringe for extracting her blood (presumably made of more durable material, such as vibranium) and placing it into a radiation-proof box.
- Suicide as Comedy: Mr. Immortal reacts to Mallory and Nikki reaming him by yeeting himself out a window. Since he's immortal, and the only thing he hits on the way down is a car, the situation is played for dark humor.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Faking your death and moving on might have worked in the past but in modern times, it's all too easy for someone with the Internet and/or camera phones to realize their supposedly dead spouse is very much alive and married to someone else.
- Take That!: Intelligencia is a clear one to social media sites crawling with trolls who hate Jen/She-Hulk simply for being a female character.
- Villainous Breakdown: Titania is ready to keep going with Jen, but tripping on a bunch of ice cubes and falling flat on her face, which breaks her veneers and ruins her make-up, proves too much.Titania: My veneers! ... You think this is funny? Are you showing your eleven followers on Instagram? (slaps phone out of smirking onlooker's hand) Where are you going? (shoves waiter as he's getting up) And I'm taking this! (grabs the top layer of the wedding cake and storms out) This wedding sucks!
- Villain Has a Point: Titania has a good point about how everyone is obsessed with Jen since she became She-Hulk, considering Jen didn’t want the name or to be She-Hulk in the first place.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Right: Titania steps out of the wedding after her Villainous Breakdown, stealing the wedding cake's top layer on the way out.
- Vomit Discretion Shot: Jen throws up after drinking too much at the wedding, the act obscured by the camera angle and the small flower bed she vomits into.
- Wedding Episode: The A-plot involves Jen attending her friend's wedding as a bridesmaid. As usual, she lampshades this with the audience.Jen: Yes, it's a self-contained wedding episode. And if you think this is happening at an inconvenient time in the season, you're right, 'cause that's how weddings always are. But I'm gonna look great, so let's go.
- Wedding Smashers: Titania attacks Jen during the wedding. Jen turns into She-Hulk and fights back, and the battle spills onto the dance floor.Ched: (excitedly honks air horn) We got a wedding fight! (plays Electric Boogie by Marcia Griffiths)
- With Friends Like These...: Lulu has a good reason to not want Jen to be in She-Hulk mode during the wedding, but everything else about her conduct is obnoxious. Where the other bridesmaids are paired with groomsmen, Jen has to walk with a dog named Jonathan. The other bridesmaids are no better, making Jen iron the men's shirts.
