SYNOPSIS (courtesy of Rey):
Jessica confronts her father on board a Hydra base and overcome with emotion, Jessica is met with a purely scientific and analytical curiosity. Jonathan appears more amazed at the specimen of Jessica Drew, rather than the fact that his daughter is alive and well…and the emotion from the years that they hadn't been in contact, appears to be alien to him.
It also is confirmed from Jonathan that Hydra had conditioned Jess' brain to punish her whenever she defies Hydra, and to Jess' disappointment, Jonathan admits that he is happy at Hydra.
Jessica soon realises the selfishness of her father, and storms out intent on annihilating the base.
As the base is destroyed at the hands of Spider-Woman, Madam Viper and a deformed (yet alive) General Wyndham call upon the survivors of the Athena Project - super soldiers created by Jonathan and based from the DNA of Jessica Drew.
Meanwhile, Viper attempts to get Jonathan to safety, however it seems that Jonathan finally has some change of heart, and in an act of defiance and surrender, Jonathan refuses to leave. Viper callously shoots him, claiming that two more of his kind can easily take his place.
Back on the main deck, Spider-Woman attacks all Athena Project soldiers, despite some of their protests, however iit proves to be merely a diversion, as the base then explodes into a massive fireball.
Spider-Woman survives and half conscious, she is taken in by one of the arriving SHIELD hellicarriers.
Days later, Nick Fury meets with Jessica and offers an open door at SHIELD, to which she is grateful for the gesture at least.
The west coast looks promising for her, and before she departs from Fury, Jessica offers her services as a private investigator, claiming she's only just getting started.
VENOM BLASTS (things to look out for in episode)!!
