The episode opens with Harry and Gustav Fiers talking in a small room at a coffee table about Harry's potential. Harry asks what Gustav's plan is and Gustav tells him he can turn Harry into what Norman Osborn failed to turn himself into. Harry asks if this would give him the power to get revenge on Spider-Man for killing his father and Gustav tells him it will do more. Just then Flint Marco walks into the room and Gustav tells Harry that once he is upgraded he will be working with Flint to kill Spider-Man. Later on we see Peter trying to call Harry and apologize but Harry isn't picking up. He puts on his suit and goes to swing around the city for a bit. Peter sees a robbery happening and goes to stop it. He walks through the jewelry store but can't find the robber until a woman in black suit appears behind him and kicks him into the wall. She tells Peter she has been wanting to run into him. Peter asks who she is but the woman starts to run away with the jewels. Peter chases her through the city and corners her on top of a building. He tells her he just wants to talk but she asks what they have to talk about. Peter goes to take the jewels but she hops over him. Peter tries to web her but sees hes out of webs. Just then a black tentacle comes out of Peter's back and sticks her to the wall. Peter tells her to stop and give up. The woman tells Peter she likes the new darkness he has now but Peter takes the jewels and tells her to get lost.
