Now pushing everyone close to him away Peter is ready to focus on nothing but finding Norman and Fisk and putting an end to everything they've been doing. Meanwhile Norman is ready to create his final villain out of his old employee Quinten Beck who quit Oscorp to become a magician. Norman invites Quinten to his house where he has dinner with Norman and Harry where Norman leads Quinten into his secret lab where he uses the same thing to brainwash Quinten that he did to brainwash Otto Octavius and Harry ends up seeing it and tries to stop Norman, but Norman quickly turns from fun, loving, rich dad to eerie, dark, and scary monster and attacks Harry tying him to a table and goes back to turning Quinten into a villain. Eventually Quinten attacks Spider-Man calling himself Mysterio and during the fight he starts showing Peter every bad thing he's ever done as Venom but soon Peter realizes it's all holograms and stops it and takes him down but is then attacked by the Green Goblin, but something is wrong, and the Goblin is different. Peter takes this Goblin's mask off to see its Harry Osborn, to be continued. In the post credits scene, we see underneath a broken bridge a mechanical arm coming out of the rubble.
