Previously on the Disney+ series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) tries to get Nico (Grace Song) and Harry Osborn (Zeno Robinson) acquainted with each other, which fails when Nico finds out about Peter’s secret. Peter fights off Daredevil (Charlie Cox), who breaks into Norman Osborn’s (Colman Domingo) office at night. Daredevil warns him not to protect Norman because he’s not a good guy. At the end of the episode, we saw Dr. Otto Octavius (Hugh Dancy) with a Scorpion suit he made for Mac Gargan (Jonathan Medina).
This next episode starts with Nico being chased by Peter at school. She’s ignoring him after finding out he’s Spider-Man. Pearl Pangan (Cathy Ang) notices Peter and asks what happened to them. He tells her he made a mistake and asks about her and Lonnie (Eugene Byrd). She tells him that Lonnie Lincoln won’t talk to her. After their talk, Peter leaves to go to the lab. Pearl gets a text from Lonnie’s little brother Andre, wanting to talk.
Peter is now in Norman’s office. Norman shows him some files he’s got on Octavius, trying to figure out what he could be doing to make all of this chaos happen. Norman’s computer gets a notification that there could be danger in Harlem, so Peter suits up and leaves.
Next, we see Harry at Nico’s house to apologize. The two grab pizza as Harry asks Nico to forgive Peter. He owns up to the mistake of telling Peter’s secret. The conversation isn’t going anywhere, so Harry takes Nico home. She tells him that she doesn’t drive, so he allows her to test drive his car.
As they drive into town, a woman drives up next to them in a sports car. Nico gets upset when the woman is rude to them. She and Nico decide to race, ignoring Harry’s pleas not to give in to the stranger. A bystander livestreams the two cars as they begin the race. Nico wins when Harry puts the car in “track” mode. The two of them end up making up and decide to restart their new friendship, but Peter will still have to do some making up to Nico.
At the 110th Street Gang’s hideout, Lonnie gets a visitor, who happens to be Pearl. She tells him Andre told her where he was and everything that happened. He pushes her away as she tells him to come back home. Before they can say anything else, Gargan aka Scorpion shows up, breaking into the building. The members start shooting at him, but nothing happens. Lonnie grabs Pearl and they step into a corner. Lonnie tells Pearl to hide and stay there, while he goes and tries to protect Big Donovan (Leilani Barrett). Spider-Man shows up before anything happens to Lonnie and stops Gargan.
After a long fight, Peter puts Gargan into a trap with his webs, until he loses web fluid. As he leaves, he hears something and notices Gargan’s escaping. The two fight again, but this time Gargan gets the upper hand. After knocking a beam from the ceiling, Gargan stabs Peter from behind. Gargan aims to finish Spider-Man off when Something shoots out from the sky. It’s a flying board, controlled by Norman. Norman hits Gargan and tells Peter to climb aboard the glider to escape.
This was overall a good episode. It’s cool to see Nico and Harry getting along. What will happen now after Pearl knows about Lonnie’s situation? And what will he do after this attack on the 110th Street Gang?
