| Synopsis
| - On Earth-982, Daemos assaults that world's Spider-Totem, May Parker, Peter's daughter and the hero known as Spider-Girl. Her boyfriend Wes tries to stop him but he's easily taken down. May sees in horror how Peter sacrifices himself with a damaged leg in order to save her and her baby brother Benjy. MJ buys May time so she can escape with Benjy but as she leaves, she bumps into a portal bringing Spider-UK and Last Stand Spider-Man. She asks for their help to save her family but Last Stand Spider-Man says that they only found two Spider-Totems: her and her brother, meaning that Peter was killed by Daemos who taunts her about her looming fate while Mayday replies that she swears to kill him, even if that means she has to break all the values and vows her father taught her. As she departs, Daemos challenges her for the next time they meet.
- As Spidey battles Dr. Minerva, he sees how Kamala is frozen in shock since she still lacks the experience for this kind of situations, so he appeals to her fandom for Carol in order to snap her out of the shock by using the "Slingshot" mannuever he created with Carol. Kamala wants to keep fighting but Spidey tells her that they must focus on retrieving the cocoon. As they approach, one of the thugs complains that he accepted the job because Minerva wasn't an enemy of Spider-Man but takes advantage of the situation so he can modify his Sonic Scanner into a weapon. Spidey and Kamala try to escape with it but Kamala's size makes her an easy target, but as she fights against Minerva, the cocoon starts to hatch.
Meanwhile, as Cindy Moon ponders on her rent status, she is called to assist Natalie Long at the Fact Channel. She reviews the battle between Silk and Electro and considers make her their "exclusive" just like the Bugle did with Spider-Man but she criticizes Silk's outfit as tacky. Just as Natalie gets a report on two crimes, one being Spidey's battle, Cindy escapes to deal with the other situation, determined to become the Fact Channel's exclusive by making herself a new outfit.
The coccoon hatches revealing a seemingly human baby inside, which Kamala takes to keep him safe while Spidey battles against Minerva. The henchmen take down Kamala while she keeps the baby safe but as she confronts them, one of the henchmen turns against the rest, showing moral qualms about attacking someone carrying a baby. The henchman takes off his mask so that he won't scare the baby, and then joins Spidey who explains that Kamala knows everything about the Kree thanks to her knowledge of Carol Danvers, while the henchman is a local, prompting Spidey to ask her if she is indeed working for the Kree Empire since it's rare that she's using local people instead of Kree Soldiers. Minerva insists that her activities are fully sanctioned by the Kree Empire. Spidey fakes a call to Jarvis in Avengers Tower to ask the Kree if they know about Minerva's activities in order to call her bluff, which succeeds, making her escape the site.
At the other robbery site, The Ringer attempts to escape, only to be taken down quickly by Silk, making her first appearance in her new outfit in front of Natalie Long and the cameras of the Fact Channel, saying that it was time for a change.
Spidey and Kamala bring the baby to the hospital so he can be taken care of with his parents, she is worried since they don't know what powers she might have. Spider-Man insists that they love her and that will be a good start. He says he has to leave to make an alert at Avengers Tower about Minerva and compliments to Kamala, seeing a reflection of his past self when he was a teenage superhero dealing with the double life, and encourages her, saying that she'll do fine. Then he confronts the henchman, who swears that he was trying to find legit work but nobody wants to hire a man with a criminal record since juvie, only to be stunned when Spidey recognizes him as Clayton Cole, his first rival, formerly known as Clash, which surprised Clayton. Spidey sees that Clayton really wants to go straight and change his life but no one wants a man with "Supervillain since Fifteen" on its resume, so he gives him a card from Parker Industries, claiming that Parker believes in second chances and to tell him he sent him. He takes it and by the next day he is officially hired into Peter's company. Peter reflects that his company now gives him great power and great responsibility to help depower and reform former villains.
