Synopsis for "Before Dead No More - Part Four: Change of Heart"
Peter advises Jay to use the normal procedure and not the New U and he follows the advice (Peter's spider sense reacts to Jerry Salters, after the New U cure). Before the surgery Jay asks Peter to go to his house and get an antique family heirloom watch that he wants to give to Jonah, as he got it from his father, so that Jonah can one day give it to his son. Peter takes the Spidey-style ride first, but is forced to stop to save some construction workers.) Peter eventually changes his mind about the New U procedure, but fails to contact his aunt and Jonah and Jay dies.

Synopsis for "King's Ransom"
The Jackal tries to convince Kingpin to ally with him, cloning his dead wife. Fisk, however, unlike the others, does not fall for it and realizes that that woman is just a clone and kills her and then orders his men to kill the Jackal, who in turn gives Rhino the order to kill Kingpin. Spider-Man intervenes during the fight and Kingpin escapes in a helicopter. Fisk thinks he will do everything possible to annihilate the Jackal, for how he dared to outrage his family and that if he can't, Spider-Man will do it for him.
