Plot:The planet Chandilar, a technologically advanced planet that is part of the Shi’ar Empire. Kallark (Eric Dane) is the well-respected leader of the Imperial Guard, called by his title of “Gladiator”. He gives a tour of its capital to She-Hulk (Jenny Slate), whose green form does not stand out as much with the various alien races of the Shi’ar.
He leads her to the Court of Justice, where Starfox (Reid Scott) sits shackled up awaiting people to arrive at the court. However, Gladiator informs his brother that he will not be facing a public trial. Instead, he will be judged solely by the Living Tribunal - a cosmic arbiter of justice throughout the galaxy. She-Hulk is surprised to hear this and inquires about why Gladiator has decided to shift the trial to here. He tells her that the Living Tribunal can penetrate a being’s memory, and thus access the ultimate truth.
She-Hulk starts to argue with Gladiator, saying that the case was brought to her on Earth and she wants to be the one to fight for it on Earth. He responds that her fighting with Starfox shows that his brother made the wrong choice in choosing his attorney. She-Hulk’s intensity strengthens and she says that the accused crimes have nothing to do with the Sh’iar Empire. She is starting to get on Gladiator’s nerves but their argument is interrupted by a violet-skinned woman entering the court.
She introduces herself as The Living Tribunal (Maggie Q), or at least one of the physical representatives of the cosmic being. She takes the seat at the front of the court and She-Hulk and Gladiator take their seats to hear the verdict. She reads out Starfox’s full name and the crimes that he is being accused of. She says that The Living Tribunal’s first priority is fairness in the name of the law. And because this case was already started on Earth, the trial must occur there. She-Hulk smirks at the camera. Gladiator is furious and follows the Living Tribunal’s representative out of the court. Meanwhile, Starfox turns to She-Hulk and swears that he did not commit any crimes - against the alleged victim not against her. She tells him that she believes him but that she is going to borrow a page from The Living Tribunal’s playbook as she knows someone who might be able to read memories.
Before she has Starfox take her back to Earth, she communicates with Stu (Himesh Patel) and tells him that the case is back on so to start looking in the archives for anything on mind manipulation. Before she hangs up, Stu asks if she’d finally like to go out on that date when this is all over. She says that after the last few weeks she’s had, she’d really like that.
Back on Earth, Mary (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is in her full supervillain gear as Titania. She nervously evades security and breaks into the building that houses GLKH. She has some close calls but is fairly successful at staying out of view of the cameras. She decides to maneuver through the ventilation system like thieves do in the movies, and navigates her way to “The Basement” - where the archives of comics are housed, and thus incriminating evidence against the Hood’s syndicate.
She starts to pick through the files and find the ones that the Hood sent her out for. She is interrupted by the sound of keys hitting the floor. She turns around and finds a dumbfounded Stu looking in shock (although unable to recognize Mary given her costume). She isn’t sure what to do at first and then tells him to let her get what she needs and leave and no one will get hurt. She sees him reach towards something and warns him that any sudden movements and she will have to hurt him as her life is truly on the line here.
However, they both are interrupted by a third person: Walter, the Black Cat (Lou Diamond Phillips). He starts to list off the various rookie mistakes that would’ve gotten Titania caught had he not cut the security feed to aid his own break-in. He’s come here because he knew that she would be here and she has something that belongs to him: the diamond earrings. She laughs this off, saying that he can’t say something that he stole belongs to him. He says he did not steal those, they belonged to his late wife.
Stu, still nervous, slowly moves to tap a button in his pocket and whispers “Jen, The Basement, ASAP”. Titania hears this in the corner of her ear and quickly reacts to punch Stu. Given her super-strength, this sends him ten feet across the room and causes him to hit his head on a cabinet on the way down. A pool of blood starts to gather under his head and she is now in a state of shock. With split-second thinking, she yells “catch!” to Walter as she throws him the earrings. As he catches them, she leg-sweeps him to bring him to the ground, causing his head to ricochet off of the ground on the way down.
With two people that look out of it, she takes the files and makes her exit the way she came in. Meanwhile, Walter starts to wake up and isn’t sure where he is. She-Hulk comes busting through the wall and finds Stu’s body with the pool of blood. She goes over to him and finds that with no pulse. She caresses his body while letting out a scream of anguish. This multitude of emotions means that she has little control over her body, which causes her form to alternate between She-Hulk and Jen. She then sees Walter in his burglar gear, assuming he did it. This solidifies her as She-Hulk as she is so angry that she could kill. With Stu’s blood on her hands (literally, not figuratively), she grabs Walter and holds him up in the air. Suffering from some memory loss, he swears he doesn’t know what happened but her eyes are glazed over in a rage of fury. However, her sadness soon returns, causing her to simply tie Walter up as she contacts the proper authorities - realizing that she cannot be the judge, jury, and executioner.
She holds Stu’s body as EMTs arrive and the police are not far behind, arresting Walter for Stu’s murder. This is cross-cut with Mary arriving at the lair of the Hood (Michiel Huisman) and delivering the documents. She does not look pleased with herself but at least her life has been spared. We end on a side-by-side of both her and Jen’s eyes, both looking in anguish.
