Synopsis for "Hunted"
Arcade contacts the Vulture and after explaining to him that Kraven is behind the hunt. An angered Toomes declares that he has a moral principle: when he builds a mortal trap, the trap must have a chance of survival. In this case, the chance is a device that allows to destroy the hunter-robots. The more robots are destroyed, the easier it is to destroy others. Thus when Toomes manages to eliminate a hunter, he then earns the respect of the other prisoners. At that point, a hologram of Kraven appears in front of the Arcade, and receives confirmation that the Vulture has fallen into his trap, and the prisoners will now target hunters and kill each other.

Synopsis for "Mother"
Held in a cage, Vermin is afraid and in pain, but above all else does he feels lonely. As he talks to Arcade, he mentions "Slither Man" which helps Arcade understand that Taskmaster was working with the Lizard, and sends out his guards to find them. As a "thank you", Arcade gives Vermin an injection that makes him hurt and replicate. As identical beings painfully emerge from his body, Vermin is no longer alone. He has himself.

• …but that doesn’t make him any less dangerous. Kraven’s biggest hunt has thrown everything upside down and there’s plenty of carrion for the Vulture.Notes
- Bison appearing in the present is a continuity error, he died before Gibbon did back in Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5) #18.
