Synopsis for "#WhereDidSpideyGo?"
A week has passed, and John Jonah Jameson is on the news being interviewed live about his thoughts on the disappearance of Spider-Man. Yu is eating breakfast while watching this happen live on television. He is interrupted by his father asking if he put anything weird in the laundry, while showing his pink-dyed white shirt. Yu hurries to leave to avoid anymore suspicion. Outside now on the streets of New York, Yu checks his phone reflecting on a social media article of his first heroic act posing as Spider-Man. The article has the question "Where Did Spidey Go?". He comments on how the real Spidey goes through this kind of danger all the time. Yu remembers he plans to return Spider-Man suit, and ask the question in his mind "Where are you Spidey?".
Yu arrives at the Bouldering Gym to see a young woman being cheered by a crowd below as she rock climbs. Yu recalls that the gym trainer mentioned an upcoming competition coming up soon. The competition announcer announces the next competitor. High school champion climber Emma Pearson is announced as she is cheered on while she rock climbs. Yu watches as she displays her skills and techniques first thinking that she is a newbie climber like himself. Yu is attracted to Emma admiring her along with her audience. The rest of the audience congratulate Emma after she climbs to the highest rock. They suggest to having a victory party over Emma's victory. Yu is asked what's wrong by the gym trainer, who tries to persuade him to go congratulate Emma, since they're both classmates. Yu leaves lightly teary as he says its they're both from completely different worlds.
Yu is at his gym locker getting ready to leave thinking about how much of a disconnection between himself and Emma there really is. While leaving Yu is confronted by Emma who wants to talk with him. Emma explains that the gym trainer told her about him and how often he visits the gym. Emma says that she has wanted to talk to him but she hasn't run into him until now. She asks if he is okay since he's been skipping class recently to come to the gym. Yu struggles in his mind, trying to answer and respond back to Emma. He spaces out, and he snaps back to reality after Emma sarcastically asks "hellooo anyone there?". They are interrupted by Emma's gym audience in a car who tell her to hurry up as they want to celebrate and party with her. Emma leaves, "saying (hmph) what a bore". as she leaves Yu behind. Yu realizes what just happened, and pops his head in the bush asking "why does he have to be himself?"
Shortly after a police car hits a van into a building smashing the glass in the process. The three criminals get out arguing over who's fault it was over their unsuccessful heist. Emma exclaims to her group to "hurry up and go!" as the armed robbers get closer to their vehicle. The driver in Emma's vehicle is threatened to get out of the car as the robber points a gun at him. The armed robber holds Emma hostage in the van driving off with her as her friends watch and yell.
Yu witnesses this happen and puts on the Spider-Man suit once again. He stops a taxi driver in his car telling him to follow that van. The driver asks "Isn't it faster if you use your web slingers?". Yu responds, "Does it look like I'd ask you if I could do that!?". Yu tries to pay the man, but realizes he forgot his wallet. The man doesn't want to charge him, as his nephew would scold him he says. Instead he takes a picture with Spidey to send as a text to his nephew. The Man asks if he is strapped in as they follow the van. Emma is visibly seen held a gun point in the back of the armed robbers van.
