Synopsis: Spider-Man is fighting the Green Goblin's gang in an attempt to find out where he is, but they don't know.

Although Peter initially assumes that Harry is the Green Goblin, Harry says that although he's been tempted, he hasn't taken any Globulin Green for a while, and that he was recently captured by the Goblin. Peter starts to wonder whether maybe his original suspicions were correct, and Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin. After Harry leaves, Peter admits the truth to Gwen - he's not sure how he got together with Liz, and he actually likes her. She admits that the feeling's mutual, but that they should break up with their current partners before anything else. Peter then heads to the Osborns' as Spider-Man, and on confronting Norman about the secret passage he saw the latter exit, it's explained that it's just a wine cellar. Norman also points out that he was seen at Oscorp at the same time that Green Goblin attacked it. A moment later bombs explode on the balcony, and Spider-Man's attacked by the Green Goblin, who leaves after a brief fight. Norman realises that whoever the Green Goblin is, it must be someone with access to Globulin Green, and as it was a secret project, that only leave Donald Menken as a suspect. Unfortunately, Menken's disappeared.
