I say "spoilers", but there's not a lot that happened in this ish to spoil that we didn't already see coming. Gotta love these drawn-out five-issue storylines eh?
Anyway, Pete and Felicia get injured Billy Connors to the Baxter Building (it is still the Baxter Building, right?), and Reed stabilizes his condition and keeps Pete and Felicia around for observation. Sue mentiones that Ben and Johnny are out fighting a Mole Man monster and Reed figures the spreading violence in the city is linked.
Meanwhile, John Jameson has become Man-Wolf (who is brown instead of white for some reason... Werewolf By Night, anyone?), and he attacks MJ in the apartment. Aunt May bravely splashes hot tea in Wolfie's face and the two women hide in the kitchen until the Avengers security drones arrive and put MW to sleep with trank darts.
While this attack is happening, Spidey sits up in Reeds lab and says that "Something's wrong back home. I - I feel it!" Reed says "You can tell from here? Is this one of your new powers?" Spidey says nothing in response to that (probably realizing how lame and/or redundant most of his new powers are), and runs off to go home. After Black Cat stays a bit longer, she gets impatient and also leaves to help Spidey.
The Lizard meanwhile is down in the sewers and seems to be healed from the injuries he got from the Black Cat (you all have no idea how much it annoyed me to just type that). Lizzy thinks back to earlier that night when he, as Curt Connors, came into Billy's room and injected him with the Lizard formula because "The rock told me to.." The Rock? Either that meteor from part one is indeed the cause of all this, or Curt has to stop taking advice from professional wrestlers-turned movie-actors. That's all the info we get from Curt's flashback though, so we have to wait a little longer to find out what the rock's got cookin'. As Lizzy roars in anger at his predicament and heads back to the Natural History Museum, Vermin hears this and drops the pork tenderloin cop's leg he's eating to investigate.
Spidey arrives at his apartment in time to see an unconscious John Jameson being taken away by security. MJ mentions the strange violent urges she's had as well as May's surprising defense against Man-Wolf. After MJ tends to Peter's shoulder injury from the Lizard's bite, Pete puts on the Iron Spider costume and takes off to find the Lizard without his spider-sense operating correctly. But first -- a visit to the only psychic Spidey trusts right now to help him find the Lizard - an ambiguously youthful-looking Madame Web!
--- to be continued!

I love you Lizzy. In, like, a hetero, across the states, kind of way.
