- TriviaBruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) says he was "literally a different person" when he last fought Emil Blonsky. That fight occurred in The Incredible Hulk (2008), where Banner really was a different person (being played by Edward Norton, whom Ruffalo later succeeded).
- GoofsJen's boss says that they "lost" the case because her actions as She-Hulk caused a mistrial. However, a mistrial is not a loss. A mistrial would merely invalidate the current, ongoing trial and necessitate that they start a new one with a new jury.

- Crazy creditsThe subtitle changes to "Attorney for Hire", to reflect Jennifer's unemployed status in the episode.

Superhuman Law
I read some arguments that Disney should have released the first two episodes of "She-Hulk" last week as the first episode didn't really give a good enough look at what this show was going to be. Of course, it's easy to say in hindsight that it would have been the best thing to do now. However, after having seen the second episode, I definitely agree that they should have released the first two, especially given the short length of the episodes at 30 minutes. This episode definitely set up the show in a better fashion, giving us a real direction for the character and story.
So I'll just get my main issue out of the way first. These episodes are very short, and I especially felt that in this episode. Marvel has called this their first real sitcom, which explains the episode lengths, but they still haven't completely gotten that formula down. These episodes feel very stuffed with story and it was a little overwhelming, so at the time when I felt like I had gotten it down, the episode was over. They need to work with that and I'm sure they will. Other than that, I think this episode was a fun time. I'm starting to like the character of Jennifer Walters, a character with a longstanding history in Marvel Comics. She's quickly coming into her own, shedding the much talked about derivative nature of her character, and creating a space for herself to work. The show is very complimentary towards that character development, showing her off as an ambitious lawyer who wants to prove herself. Taking on a case like she does here may come with certain personal issues, but it's what's best for her career. And the triumphant return of Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky was absolutely brilliant, showing a different light of his character that stays weirdly true to his appearance in "The Incredible Hulk." The ending obviously throws a bit of a wrench in their relationship, but ties in greatly with the rest of the universe and may answer some questions about the connective tissue of Marvel going forward in the upcoming episodes of the show.
"Superhuman Law" still struggles a bit with the length of it all, putting a lot of story in, but shows signs of its great potential. The episode was an overall success, showing more depth to Jennifer as a character and giving us a nice preview of the cameos that we should be looking forward to.
