After beating the Shocker Peter is given information by the Chameleon as to where Miles is and so Peter goes to save him. Meanwhile Miles is still trapped by Fisk and Green Goblin who takes his mask off and reveals that he is Harry Osborn. Miles tries to get out but it's no use but eventually Miles gets bit by a spider that has been crawling around Oscorp for the past 11 movies and when Miles gets bitten, he nearly breaks out, but Peter shows up to save him. Peter talks with Fisk and then is introduced to the new Green Goblin Harry. Harry tells Peter of how he was injected with the Goblin serum by Norman and that a mere gunshot wound couldn't kill him. Peter realizes the serum has warped his mind but there is no cure, so Peter has to fight Harry. During all this Miles escapes but is cornered by Chameleon who Miles accidentally electrocutes with a new power he obtained from the spider bite. The movie goes on with Peter trying to stop Harry, but Peter is thrown to the ground, and everyone watches as Harry kills Peter without hesitation.
