Getting the name "Dr. Isaac Delaney" before Sable arrives, Peter asks MJ to check. She reports about a costume party at Empire State University, and sends a photo with 4 people, and says she doesn't know which one is Delaney. Peter goes there, and gets a call from Aunt May, who says that Rio loved the idea of Miles helping out at the shelter. Arriving at the ESU, Peter finds Delaney dressed as the Lizard. The Demons capture Delaney and take him to a building. Peter follows, saving students along the way. Delaney is taken to Martin Li. Peter tries to intervene, but is defeated by Mr. Negative who used an energy blast. Li uses the negative energy to force Delaney to reveal who is working on Devil's Breath, and gets the answer: Morgan Michaels. Li leaves a gun with Delaney, who, unable to control himself, shoots himself in the head. Spider warns Yuri about Michaels, but she says Sable is protecting him, and refuses to say where. MJ informs him that Osborn asked Fisk to build a secret lab, then destroy the records. She thinks Fisk kept the information for blackmail. Peter breaks into Oscorp and accesses Norman's computer, where he finds Project GR-27, which researches the cure for any disease, but which is a failure. Peter discovers that the GR-27 is the Devil's Breath, and that the only sample is with Michaels. MJ says she's looking for information on Michaels, and Peter heads to Central Park. Otto calls Peter, and tells him he's excited to unlock the mind's potential.
