 * 10. City At War, Part 2: The Tablet: The Shocker, having been bailed out of prison by Silvermane, is sent to retrieve the Tablet of Time for the old crime lord. However, Shocker is intercepted by Spider-Man, who had learned about the villain's bail from prison. During their fight at the museum, though, the hero is crushed underneath a dinosaur skeleton, allowing Shocker the chance to escape and leaving Spider-Man to blame. With the museum guards not seeing Shocker at all and believing Spider-Man to be the thief, a $10,000,000 bounty is placed on Spidey's head. Oh, what a world...
 * 11. City At War, Part 3: Rage: As Silvermane prepares to activate the Tablet of Time in order to regress his youth, Tombstone makes his move. Long story short, Silvermane is killed, his empire destroyed, and all that remains is the bitter rivalry between Spider-Man and Tombstone.

 * 13. Temperament (1): Following the events of the most recent gang war and his brutal beating of the Scorpion in the sewers during the last episode, Peter's mood has been on a downward spiral, which hasn't done wonders for his fragile social life. Accompanied by his recent tiredness due to the symbiote secretly taking him out web-slinging while asleep, Peter has also been plagued with strange nightmares involving his red and blue costume fighting against the symbiote. When Mary Jane attempts to reach out to Peter, however, things go awry, and they become estranged from each other.
 * 14. House of God (2): Spider-Man has been cast out. With New York deeming him a public menace due to his recent acts of brutality, Mary Jane on the offs with him, and his social life in turmoil, Spidey is not in the mood to face off against the fanatical followers of Adrian Toomes; the Vulturions. However, when he takes it too far, Spider-Man realizes that it's the symbiote that's been responsible for the recent destruction of his public image, prompting him to try and be rid himself of it.
 * 15. Collapse (3): With Mary Jane still on the recoil following her attack by Spider-Man's black suited doppelgänger, Spidey goes on the hunt for this new threat, only to be met head on by it; Venom, a creature with all of Spider-Man's powers plus the knowledge of his secret identity. Initially losing his first fight with Venom, Peter is brought to the St. Patrick's Cathedral, where he first be rid himself of the symbiote in the first place, where Venom plans to execute him. These plans fall through, though, and now all that's left is a bitter final confrontation between Spider-Man and Venom under the house of God in this epic series finale.
