Episode Synopsis:

After learning that Ben Reilly has an antidote for the superpowers, Cat Hardy arranges a meeting with his secretary Janet.

Cat asks Janet to get the antidote to her so she can cure Flint Marko and Dirk Leyden. But they were watching and they follow Janet to Robbie Robertson's place and they capture the recovering Ben Reilly

Silvermane forces Ben to contact the Spider, with Robbie posing as him, and orders the antidote brought to the Alcove bar.

After Dirk Leyden recognizes Ben from the war, Silvermane realizes Ben is the Spider and threatens Cat to make him confess.

To protect Ben, Cat reveals she is the one who betrayed Silvermane. Before Silvermane can kill her, Robbie arrives dressed as the Spider.

Thinking he's The Spider, Megawatt injects Robbie with the cure and electrocutes him, then tries to persuade Flint Marko to help overthrow Silvermane.

Ben regains use of his webbing and fights the two powerful fighters, while Cat tracks down and kills Silvermane.

Sandman turns on Leyden after he attacks Cat. The Spider gets the better of Megawatt and kills him by throwing him into an incoming train.

Ben gives the last antidote dose to Flint Marko, sacrificing his only chance to become human again so Cat and Flint can be together.

In the aftermath of Silvermane’s death, Mayor Morris is reelected, Robbie leaves the Daily Bugle to lead the Harlem Herald, and Ben and Janet renovate their joint office, now called "Reilly and Ruiz Investigations".

Episode Synopsis:

Silvermane is ready to take his fight with Mayor Morris to the streets. He instructs Megawatt and Flint Marko to attack Morris' campaign office and steal his money as Lonnie retrieves Silvermane's confiscated booze from the police.

In an early house in the city Ben drowns his sorrows over Cat's betrayal and beats up a group of dock workers who criticised the aging Spider.

After some encouragement from Robbie to help the other meta humans, Ben prepares doses of the antidote to cure all of them and plans to use it on himself afterwards.

As the Spider struggles against Lincoln and the corrupt police officers due to previously overusing his webbing at the bar fight, Robbie manages to inject the cure in Lincoln through his eye and the two help him evade the police officers.

While Ben recovers from the fight, Lincoln thanks the two for helping him, encourages Robbie to find another way to report outside of the Daily Bugle, and leaves the city with his mother.

Both Silvermane and Morris find out that Tombstone has been cured. They each give orders to bring Ben to them so they can contact The Spider.

Episode Synopsis:

Ogden comes to Ben Reilly's apartment to plead with him to stop Robbie Robertson from publishing his story on Dr. Fabor’s experiments.

He reveals that he served in the war as well, but his mutation has rapidly aged him. When Ben refuses to cooperate, he drugs him to forcibly bring him to Faber's lab.

Dr. Faber reveals that Ogden is her son and she's determined to find a cure for the metahumans to help him. While the blood tests on Ben reveal nothing of note Dr Faber begins examining Ben's organs.

During her operation, Ben has nightmares about the procedures and changes he endured after the spider bite.

After analysing the samples from Ben’s liver Dr. Faber is able to develop a cure and restores Ogden to his true age. She plans to kill Ben so they can cover their tracks, now that Robbie’s article has been published, but Ogden allows him to escape to repay his services.

Meanwhile Silvermane and his men invade the facility to find more metahumans to join their ranks. After seeing other mutated soldiers that Faber failed to save and getting shot at by Ogden, Dirk Leyden kills Faber and Ogden. As the resulting fire blows up the lab, Ben manages to evade notice by Silvermane, Flint, Dirk and Lonnie and escapes the laboratory with Faber’s antidote in his possession.

Episode Synopsis:

After Cat Hardy learns that Ben Reilly is The Spider he takes her on a proper date to Millie's Diner. Ben reveals that he got his powers fifteen years earlier during the final days of World War I.

After discovering German experiments on POWs he was liberating, he was bitten by a mutated half-spider prisoner. From that day on Ben had arachnid DNA.

Armed with an unmissable exclusive story about The Spider’s battle with the electric powered Dirk Leyden, Robbie Robertson reclaims his job at the Daily Bugle.

He and Janet discover every metahuman had been treated by the same physician Dr. Alethea Faber before developing powers.

While Robbie interrogates Dr. Faber and her secretary Ogden, The Spider steals medical files proving Faber tried to cure the metahumans but instead aggravated their conditions, and now they will all die if they keep using their powers.

Meanwhile Flint Marko, now Silvermane's right-hand man, recruits Lonnie Lincoln and together they free Dirk Leyden from prison to join them.

Now armed with his super powered muscle men, Silvermane warns Ben to keep the Spider out of his conflict with Mayor Morris.

Worried for their lives, Ben asks Cat to leave the city with him and she agrees, but her former partner Flint Marko confronts her over hiring the fire powered Addison to kill Silvermane without telling him.

Lincoln informs Cat that Faber believes seeing the Spider could help her find a cure, leading Cat to reveal Ben's secret to Dr Faber and Ogden.

Episode Synopsis:

Cat Hardy confirms Ben Reilly’s suspicion that she hired Addison to kill Silvermane. She reasoned that the club boss wouldn't let her live a happy life with Flint Marko after Silvermane murdered her first fiancé.

But Flint is listening in to their discussion and, seeing them almost kiss, he feels betrayed and decides to return to work for Silvermane.

As his first job Silvermane uses Marko to intimidate Morris into backing off on his campaign ending Prohibition.

Meanwhile Robbie and Janet interview Lonnie Lincoln at the office. After careful investigation they learn the powers he, Addison and Marko have, come from experimentation on them when they were prisoners of war. He doesn't know much detail but directs them to Dr Faber who has been helping them.

Ben and Cat spend the night at his place, where he reveals that his fiance Ruby died from a criminal he caught seeking revenge. They both leave separately after hearing a metahuman is attacking the Diamond District. Both believe it's Flint Marko.

But the metahuman is a criminal with the ability to absorb and release electricity. Ben arrives in his costume as the Spider and eventually defeats him by shutting off the power in the area to prevent him from storing any more electricity. Once defeated, Mayor Morris uses The Spider's victory to boost his reelection campaign.

Later that night, after observing the battle in the Diamond District, Cat returns to Ben's apartment and deduces that he is the Spider. She throws herself out of the window and Ben uses his powers to save her, before she kisses him.
