After all the epic Doom action of the previous episodes, this episode is something a little different and more light-hearted.
It features Dr. Bradley Shaw who is dominated by his wife Penny. She is obsessed with Spider-Man and actually manipulated her husband into injecting himself a little bit of Spider-Man's blood mixed with the blood of a spider species called "Nephilia". It turns him into a giant, monstrous spider creature who calls himself "Nephilia". He quickly loses his sanity and, after being furrther manipulated by his wife, goes on a hunt for Spidey.
From all of the characters made up for this series, Nephilia sure has the most intriguing design and with his wife being the manipulative puppet master in the background Nephilia has a very unique motivation.
The best part that is very fitting for Spider-Man is that Spidey actually tries to help Nephilia instead of just defeating him. There's also a great sub-plot with Jameson encouraing his employees to donate blood for a seemingly good cause.
