First Aired: July 30th, 2018

Synopsis: Anya and Gwen are making a storm-impact pattern machine for Horizon's open house, which is in a day. The intent is to identify dangerous weather in advance, but as they test it they discover that it can detect the powers of the Spot, a villain that Spider-Man is fighting nearby. As Spider-Man gets trapped in one of Spot's portals they realise that their device should be able to interfere with his powers, but they need him to open more portals. Anya changes into a costume as Spider-Girl, revealing that she never lost her powers from the Spider-Island incident, and is able to defeat Spot and then save Spider-Man. A weakened Spider-Man falls unconscious and forgets about Spider-Girl, and after he's gone Anya tells Gwen that she'd rather not be a superhero given that there are enough of them around. Later, Spider-Man is web-swinging when everything around him goes black before the city fills up with fog. Spider-Man is attacked by a tank and some HYDRA agents, but Captain America appears and tells him to debrief with Black Widow.
