Pterodax have taken hostages on top of a construction site being run by Oscorp, but Spider-Man shows up and is able to defeat them, although Harry, watching from the ground, is injured in the process.

Synopsis: At the board meeting of a generic company, a group of mercenaries armed with jetpacks and high-tech suits calling themselves Pterodax burst in, intending on breaking into the company's vault and selling the diamonds within. Elsewhere, Peter, Harry, and Mary Jane are using binoculars to spy on people making out, but Harry makes excuses and leaves, thinking that Peter and Mary Jane should get together. They start flirting when Peter spots Pterodax and heads off to be Spider-Man. He manages to fairly easily defeat most of Pterodax but their leader, Sergei, throws one of the company members out a hole in the wall, and while Spider-Man's saving her Pterodax get away. Later, Peter sells photos of the incident to J. Jonah Jameson, and since Jonah undersells him, he tries selling video footage to another media company, Empire One. They don't take it, but Peter runs into a researcher named Indy who he hits it off with, and is able to convince her to take his footage. She manages to get it run on the news. Peter makes her a custom CD to thank her and tells Harry Osborn, but Harry still thinks that Peter and Mary Jane should get together. Mary Jane runs into Peter shortly afterwards and they arrange a date.
