Spidey faces a drug den while searching for Daredevil. Matt shows up for lunch at Aunt May's and they have a shouting match that comes to blows. Hobgoblin catches a man bugging the Kingpin's building. Lance tells him that the Kingpin is coming back to town. Spidey begins to battle Kingpin only to discover that it's actually Daredevil. The two heroes duel until DD appears to save Spidey's life. DD assures Spidey that they will take the Kingpin down legally. Kingpin is secreted home safely. Kingpin meets the Hobgoblin who provides the true identity of the Rose, but Kingpin already knew.
