Previously on Spider-Man we saw me take down a ton of villains and such but we also saw a team of men discover an ancient sand spirit which took control of a man named Flint Marco which caused a glass jar full of black goo to fall on the floor. Now on Spider-Man we see Peter Parker swinging through the city as a robbery is taking place. Peter gets there and takes down the robbers fairly easily but just then a van pulls up and several large men jump out of it and attack Peter. Peter has a hard time but manages to trap them all in one huge web. Peter swings back to Aunt May's house and gets dressed for school. Once he gets there he meets up with Harry and Gwen but the three of them are interrupted by Flash Thompson who tries putting Peter in a locker but Peter doges and pushes Flash to the ground which gets the attention of Rand Robinson who tells Flash to get up and stop. Throughout the rest of the episode we see how things are going with Peter's personal life more than his superhero life. We see Harry dealing with his father's death and also having troubles in his relationship with Gwen. The episode ends as we cut to Flint Marco in the middle of the Egyptian desert speaking with this sand spirit who consumes Flint's entire body and becomes physical for the first time in centuries. Flint wakes up in his apartment in New York as he feels himself being overcome by this spirit. He goes to the bathroom and in the mirror all he sees is the sand.
