Synopsis for "Opening Night"

Peter cannot accompany Mary Jane to the theater because Curt Connors has imprisoned himself after turning back into the Lizard, so MJ is accompanied by Carlie. The star of the show Melanie Daniels is an old rival of MJ, who watching the show realizes how much she misses acting; when Electro stops the performance and takes Melanie hostage, in the end it is MJ and Carlie who save her. Kindred discovers that Mysterio has tricked his psychiatrist into believing he is him; Quentin, however, has taken an old alias and so the demon unmasks him, then giving him a script. Spidey manages to convince Dr. Connors not to run away from his fears but to face them, and as Peter agrees to join his class. MJ receives a call from her agent who tells her that thanks to Melanie's rescue, she has returned to fame and has found her a role in a movie. Mary Jane accepts the assignment, unaware that the producer / director is Mysterio. Meanwhile, Miguel O 'Hara seems to be in trouble ...
