Just as Beetle prepares to shoot the wounded Spidey and Sable, Sandman attacks allowing Spidey and Sable to regroup. Meanwhile, Jack O’ Lantern plans something he thinks will make the crime bosses take notice. At the Bugle, Robbie discovers certain photos prove Flash is not the Hobgoblin. At Coney Island, Sandman takes a beating from the Syndicate. Spidey won’t let him face them alone and quits Sable’s service. A reluctant Sable follows. Meanwhile, Jack breaks into police headquarters and springs Flash from jail. Hearing of this, Rose and Hobby plan to kill Flash so the authorities will think the Hobgoblin is dead. At Jack’s lair, Hobby attacks, giving Flash the opportunity to escape. Jack stuns Hobby and fl ees. The Syndicate eventually runs from Spidey, Sable, and Sandman. Spidey, concussed by a Rhino blow, momentarily collapses. Sable hires Sandman in Spidey’s place. Dejected, Spidey attempts to swing home, but passes out again on a nearby rooftop. Elsewhere, Flash hits the streets in disguise, not knowing where to go or to whom to turn.
