Hey, you're probably wondering where Spider-Man is, and I get that but first you have to know the story. Last we talked I had just opened a box belonging to my dad but before you see what happens with that let's see what Doctor Curtis Conners and Otto Octavius are up to at Oscorp. The episode begins with Otto Octavius failing to calibrate the new robotic prosthetic arm correctly. Luckily Curtis manages to do it and they're back on schedule. Just then Norman Osborn comes in and tells them that the arm needs to be completed by October or else he'll have to make some budget cuts and scrap the project. After hearing this Curtis starts working nonstop on it because if the project gets cut, he'll have to go back to his old lab where he barely made any money and won't be able to provide for his wife and son. Meanwhile we see Peter going through his dad's box and find files and documents relating to the murder of Thomas and Mary Parker. Peter up until this point had been told their deaths were an accident but this proves they weren't. Peter argues with Ben about them not telling him and he leaves to go for a walk. Meanwhile Curt is talking about the project and Norman asks Curt if after the project is either cut or over if he wants to work on their main project. Curt asks what the project is, and Norman tells him that animal DNA can be used for a lot of things including giving humans animal traits.
