Plot
Alistair Smythe sent out a rebuilt Black Widow Spider Slayer, along with a new Tarantula Spider Slayer, to attack Spider-Man and bring him back to Smythe, which they successfully do. Smythe then told J. Jonah Jameson that he had Spider-Man and persuaded Jameson to come to where he was keeping Spider-Man but, when Jameson arrived, had Jameson restrained as well. Smythe attached a bomb between Spider-Man and Jameson which he had set to explode in one hour. The Tarantula Spider Slayer took Spider-Man and Jameson to the roof of a building somewhere in New York and then joins up with the Black Widow Spider Slayer to capture Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson. Smythe was kidnapping these people because he held them responsible for his father's apparent death in the last episode. (The Spider Slayer)

Spider-Man, who was still attached to Jameson, saved Flash from the Black Widow Spider Slayer and then managed to separate himself from Jameson but was still attached to the bomb. Spider-Man then managed to defeat the Black Widow and, elsewhere, Eddie Brock was given a job as a journalist. Just after he got the job, the Tarantula Spider Slayer crashed through the wall of the building and kidnapped Eddie. Spider-Man came in and defeated the Tarantula but Eddie was fired from his job as his employer thought that he was too dangerous employ.

Meanwhile, Smythe sent his final Spider Slayer, the Scorpion (not to be confused with the super villain of the same name) to Oscorp to kidnap Norman Osborn. Soon after, he revived the other two Spider Slayers, remotely, and sent them to aid the Scorpion Spider Slayer and they combined to become a mega Spider Slayer. Spider-Man arrived at Oscorp and managed to separate himself from the bomb Smythe attached to him earlier. Norman was trying to escape the mega Spider Slayer in his car but was stopped by it on the George Washington Bridge. Spider-Man arrived on the bridge and used the bomb to destroy the Spider Slayer and save Osborn from the subsequent explosion. The Kingpin told Smythe that he must continue to work for him until he eliminates Spider-Man for good.

Peter returned to his Aunt May's house and was busy sewing up his costume (which was torn in the battle) when he remembered that his Aunt May had set him up on a blind date with a niece of one of her friends. Peter was not really interested with the idea of the date but soon changed his mind when he opened the front door to see Mary Jane Watson who told him, "Tiger, you just won the jackpot".
