In "Turning Point" Featuring the Return of Doctor Octopus!", Betty finds herself caught in a dangerous web when her brother’s gambling debts force her to aid Doctor Octopus in a daring prison break to save him. As Spider-Man intervenes, chaos erupts and tragedy strikes when Blackie Gaxton fatally shoots Betty’s brother during the confrontation. With Gaxton captured and Doc Ock vanished once more, Peter Parker steps in to comfort Betty as she grapples with her loss.
