And that's that! Everyone is now magically happy and okay with things! Scott is suddenly competent, Peggy is OK with Cassie being a hero (even though she brought her down to the court to testify about the truth), and Cassie is perfectly happy with everything now that Scott apologized for his behavior.
.................................................................ever get that feeling that a comic was ended before it's time? Like, the writer wanted to go on longer, but was told to quickly wrap things up? That's this issue in a nutshell!
Apparently Janice keeps her identity as the Beetle a secret so no one knows a single thing about it outside of Scott. Now, how Janice was even able to prosecute the case in the first place is unknown and never explained.
Is she a lawyer when she's not a criminal or something? I'm not familiar with the character outside of this series.
She's Tombstone's daughter. Her father sent her to law school because even with his criminal empire, he knows that the ones who really profit out of the revolving door of supervillainy are the lawyers. Janice wanted to follow in her father's footsteps and become a supervillain. He wouldn't let her join his organization, so she became a lawyer and at one point represented Zemo and Fixer, who were the ones who actually gave her her costume.
What I'm curious about is how she's practicing law in Miami. Did she pass the bar in Florida too?
Well here's the thing. Scott is trying to cover for Cassie's involvement in the breakin at Cross Labs. If he reveals his connection to Janice, it'll somehow break the lie apart and cause Cassie some trouble. Plus, Janice was involved in the breakin to rescue Cassie, so ratting out Janice will have her rat out Cassie.
To be honest, this whole plot is kind of stupid since it depends on Scott being incredibly stupid. I feel like almost none of this series' problems or plot points would have happened if Scott wasn't written as an incompetent idiot.
When was Janice in SHIELD custody? I remember her and the team getting arrested after the fight with Luke Cage and Iron Fist in Superior Foes, but they never got farther than a police van, they hadn't been processed yet.
This could be a civil suit--if she works for a major firm, with branches all over the country, she could have privileges in several states, and could reasonably have been sent down to Miami because of her familiarity with "costume" cases.
