Vulture rips Peter from his hospital room and during the ensuing fight, explains that the money Spider-Man lost him last issue was to pay for the treatment of his dying grandson. Black Cat intervenes and helps take Vulture down. The old bird is then turned over to the Owl who takes a very dim view of his being robbed blind by Electro and the Vulture. An orderly with a camera delivers a picture of a maskless but bandaged Spider-Man to the Daily Bugle offices, much to Jonah's delight.
