Jonah Jameson is taking his wife to the opera, mostly against his will, and at the same opera, Tombstone, Doctor Octopus, and Silvermane are meeting in a private box. When negotiations start breaking down, they each accuse the other of calling the meeting. Hammerhead grabs a gun from some flowers, which a mysterious note told him to check, and tosses it to Tombstone, shouting out loudly that Tombstone's plan worked as a fight erupts. The three villains start fighting, not listening to Tombstone's claims that Hammerhead was working independently, and Hammerhead thinks to himself that he can take over as the Big Man if the three of them take each other out. Frederick Foswell, who is in his Patch disguise as a waiter, calls Robbie, who in turn calls Peter. Peter leaves the restaurant, but apologises to Gwen, not Liz, for doing so.

Later, the Green Goblin meets Tombstone in his office and reveals that thanks to Hammerhead he has a drive with evidence of Tombstone's crimes on it, and that he'll release it later that night - Tombstone will know where. Meanwhile, with Harry Osborn's increasingly erratic behaviour worrying Gwen, she asks Peter to look for him, and as he's heading over to the Osborns' as Spider-Man, he runs into the Green Goblin, who lets him know about the drive before losing him. When Spidey gets close to the Osborns' he sees the Green Goblin enter, and upon going inside sees Norman emerge from a secret entrance, shortly before Harry returns home. Not sure what to make of it, Spider-Man decides not to see Harry immediately and instead calls him and asks to meet him at the Halloween carnival. Shortly afterwards, Norman returns to Oscorp, but while he's copying some files from his computer it gets attacked by the Green Goblin. Shortly afterwards, some pumpkin fireworks announce the Green Goblin's presence at the Halloween carnival, and Spider-Man and Tombstone follow them to the factory where Hammerhead is being held - at which point it's revealed to all be a trap by the Goblin; there was never a drive with evidence.
