After Ms. Marvel's death, Black Cat tries to distract Spider-Man, luring Shocker into a trap and capturing him with her. Since it's a quiet night, Peter comes home still depressed. Meanwhile, Doctor Octopus recovers his old tentacles and decides to destroy them, for having helped Spider-Man, given that he has now created a new model. The tentacles, however, manage to escape and take refuge with J. Jonah Jameson, while Queen Goblin resurrects.
