A fire breaks out in the warehouse trapping Mary Jane and Liz; the latter goes into labor. Spidey takes over Harry's battle with the Hobgoblin. Hobgoblin gets away as Spider-Man gets his pals out of the building. Liz and Harry head for the hospital. Spidey's black alien costume escapes from the Baxter Building.
