Synopsis for "The Hobgoblin and the Hostage"
While trying to decode the disk, May Parker dodges her best friend in telling the real truth of dropping out of the student council elections. Meanwhile, at Deacon's Comicbook Shop, an actress was hired to help promote a new Spider-Girl comic book when Hobgoblin crashes the party and mistakes the actress as the real heroine. Spider-Girl gives chase and saves the actress and starts a showdown with Hobgoblin, but a third interrupts forcing Hobgoblin to leave. Spider-Girl hands the Fisk's Disk to Detective Drasco and comes clean to her parents about the truth of crime fighting as the web-slinger. Peter Parker is surprised, but how will he react...
