Peter tries to explain but just then Captain Davis arrives and tells Spider-Man that he can't be working on this case anymore, the state won't allow it now that super villains have gotten involved. Peter tries to tell them that he's needed but they just brush him off and send him home. Peter gets to May's house and tells her he's staying for the weekend before he goes back to Cambridge for the rest of the year. May asks if he'd like to have lunch with her and her friend's niece tomorrow who's coming by to help with the garden. Peter agrees but when he wakes up the next day he gets an alert on his phone: Otto Octavius spotted outside the Galleria. Peter gets there in his suit to find both Otto and Gustav Fiers sitting at a table waiting for the cops to arrive. He tells them there isn't any use in resisting and Otto tells Peter there's something big coming, something he couldn't imagine. Just then Peter is shot in the back and he looks up to see The Vulture and the Chameleon above him. Gustav tells Peter to stay away from their work, or he won't live to regret it.
