History Recap / SheHulkAttorneyAtLawS1E8RibbitAndRipIt

* TakeThat: In the midst of a good-natured argument, Matt mentions that Jennifer caused unnecessary damage to the property and she retorts that it looked like he would take half an hour with any random mook that came along. This is almost a fourth wall break in itself because in his series, despite being explicitly stated as one of the best fighters/martial artists in the world, he takes a LONG time with any henchman that appears, having his physical, mental capacities and fighting skills reduced drastically and suddenly in the middle of the action, just to improve the drama.

** Matt and Jen know each other for about a day before they end up in bed together. This tracks with both characters' reputations in the comics, where both are infamous for having a ''long'' list of romantic conquests and frequently dating other heroes.

* RageBreakingPoint: Josh having secretly recorded Jen and him having sex proves the last straw for her, and she smashes the screen before nearly killing one of the guys responsible.

* ShockwaveClap: During their LetsYouAndHimFight with She-Hulk and Daredevil, She-Hulk gives a powerful clap, and the blast sends Daredevil flying into a parked car.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: While watching Daredevil kick goon ass, She Hulk states that the sight is "really doing it for her".

* TooDumbToLive: Eugene uses jet fuel for his costume's boot rockets against Luke's explicit instructions. He's lucky he "only" got third-degree burns on his legs.

* TookALevelInBadass: Matt was always an impressive gymnast, but in 10 years of superheroics he has become ''nearly'' superhuman in this regard. He is also even faster than before, dodging damn near every attack thrown his way, and his hallway fight is entirely one-sided this time. Also, continuing the trend from Spider-Man, his legal acumen has significantly improved.

* HollywoodLaw: Law licenses in the U.S. are state-level and don't travel across state lines, so unless Matt has passed the California Bar Exam, he can't practice law in Los Angeles. It is possible for states to make exceptions, but you'd think if that happened, the judge would be aware of Matt representing Luke before the start of trial.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: As viewers familiar with his previous MCU appearances know, Matt Murdock only defends people who are genuinely innocent of their charges[[note]]For a given level of innocent. He once defended a man he knew to be guilty so that he could get the man in a situation to question him about Wilson Fisk. So, more like genuinely not guilty by legal standards.[[/note]]. So it's not much of a surprise when it turns out Luke is innocent and Leap-Frog's suit malfunction was a result of him ignoring Luke's instructions on what fuel to use for the jet boots.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Matt tells Jenn he's ... Daredevil. The famous theme music from his show plays... and gets cut off immediately when Jenn doesn't recognize him.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Leap-Frog kidnapping of Luke gave Jen the opportunity to repair her relationship with and agree to be her designer again.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Jen and Matt clearly did, given her general demeanor the following morning.
-->'''Jen:''' This episode already came to a ''very'' satisfying conclusion. ''Trust me''.

* EngineeredPublicConfession: Subverted. When Jen was exposed at the gala by Intelligencia, she had done nothing wrong and was actually a ''victim'' of at least two crimes by Josh: stealing her phone data and filming her having sex without her consent. However, the goal was to get her angry enough to Hulk out in public, thus exposing her as a "monster," despite having a very human reaction to being publicly humiliated in such a manner.

** Among the things Intellgiencia do is claiming she "stole" Hulk's powers.

* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Leapfrog tells Jen the Lily Pad is his "famous secret lair". It even has a ten-foot tall neon sign on the roof that says "LILY PAD".

* {{Mooks}}: Leap-Frog has some mooks working for him, and they are discussed by Jen and Matt right before the two heroes storm the warehouse. Matt distinguishes between "henchmen" (who believe in the cause) and "goons" (who are PunchClockVillains OnlyInItForTheMoney). He calls the bad guys goons while Jen calls them henchgoons.

* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Matt is much less angsty and much more of a wisecracker than he already is here than in his own series.

* EveryoneHasStandards: After Luke says Jen saving him MakesUsEven, she asks if that means he'll make her gala dress. He agrees to it with no problem, even noting "I'm not a monster".

* ExactWords: Luke mentioned, when his suit catches fire, that it was supposed to be "inflammable to 900 degrees." Ironically, "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing. What Luke should have said is the suit was "non-flammable."

* {{Mooks}}: Discussed right before the two heroes storm the warehouse. Matt distinguishes between "henchmen" (who believe in the cause) and "goons" (who are OnlyInItForTheMoney). He calls the bad guys goons while Jen calls them henchgoons.

* {{Mooks}}: Leap-Frog actually has some. Daredevil discusses the differences in PunchClockVillain Mooks (Goons) vs Mooks that actually believe in the boss and/or their cause (Henchmen).

* UnreliableNarrator: Lying and misleading appear to be Eugene's default, but when recapping his injuries, he explains how he was fighting some huge guys (actually just two regular looking dudes about his own size), claimed they were clearly afraid of him (they were baffled by him and easily beat the crap out of him), and talked up how well he was doing (he only landed one hit on them, a fairly ineffective light kick on their toes).

** Their attitudes toward secret identities. Matt keeps his superheroing separate from his personal and work life and only a few know his identity, while Jen's identity as She-Hulk is public.
