There are now only two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law left, and with one of those set to put the spotlight on Daredevil, Marvel Studios doesn't have a lot of time to wrap up all the show's lingering plot threads. We still don't know who "HulkKing" is, for example, while The Abomination's role in this story is similarly difficult to decipher.
Last week's episode suggested he might have fully reformed, but we've seen footage and promo art of Emil Blonsky as Abomination again. Unless those scenes have been cut, there has to be an explanation for how that happens when he's wearing a power inhibitor under threat of being returned to prison.
Could it be that his abominable transformation is down to his villainous nature coming back to the forefront?
One fan certainly believes so. In the Reddit post below, they point out an interesting detail in "The Retreat" showing Jennifer Walters in Emil's wellness retreat. However, it's what we see in the background that grabbed their attention.
"Blonsky's act is just that...he's still most certainly a villain," the user writes. "The beads in his group session room are the same pattern as a coral snake, a quite venomous snake, indicating that he does in fact have nefarious intentions."
It could be a coincidence, a clever Easter Egg, or simply just a misdirect. This is definitely interesting, though, and actor Tim Roth has previously suggested there might be more to Blonsky than meets the eye. It wouldn't make much sense to establish him as a hero in the MCU moving forward, so Abomination betraying Jen in the finale feels borderline inevitable.
We'll see what happens, but his double cross is definitely going to sting. A new episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law arrives on Disney+, so you'll want to check back here tomorrow for our breakdowns.
