With graduation a week away and Otto in prison, Peter returns to the Bugle, where a paper covers JJJ’s son bringing home a meteorite—unleashing strange black goo. Peter enjoys time with May, now recovered, and Gwen. In prison, Otto allies with Mac Gargan/Scorpion, Adrien Toomes/Vulture, Aleksei Systevich/Rhino, Max Dillon/Electro, and a shadowy final member. One night, Peter encounters Felicia. She apologizes for past anger, reveals she’s leaving for London, and kisses him. Suddenly, Scorpion ambushes and fatally wounds her, forcing Peter to rush her to a hospital where she dies. Soon after, Otto kidnaps May and Gwen, while Rhino and Electro attack the Bugle demanding Peter. Spidey confronts them, leading to a brutal showdown atop the Empire State Building against the assembled villains plus Kraven.

In the post-credits, Norman Osborn is revealed watching it all, turning to a mysterious green serum.
