SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):After Fireball breaks into Jess's apartment, she battles the mercenary only to learn mid-fight that her target was a floppy disk Jess had on the High Evolutionary and has no idea who Jess even is. Irritated at being unrecognized again, Jess lets it slide as Gerry zaps Fireball long enough for Jess to throw her out through the window onto a taxi cab next to a startled Lindsay McCabe. Once Jess sees Lindsey is OK, and ensures Gerry is secure in his high chair for Lindsey to watch him, she dresses up as Spider-Woman and pursues Fireball.
Chasing Fireball to the Subway, angry at a comment she made about Gerry, Spider-Woman battles her in a confined subway car. Knocking Fireball out the window, the thief passes her objective to her partner, Bruiser, who rampages through a public gathering. Finding it refreshing he knows who she is, Spider-Woman is blindsided by Bruiser tossing a horse at her and he escapes on the 39th Street Ferry. Not willing to wait for the next ferry, Spider-Woman gets a ride by the NYPD Harbor patrol to catch up to Bruiser in Hoboken, NJ. There, Bruiser steals a monster truck and leads Spider-Woman on a chase, crashing into Newark Liberty Airport.
Once inside, Bruiser is knocked out by Lady Bullseye, angered at his tardiness. The two fight, with Spider-Woman jumping onto Lady Bullseye's jetpack and colliding onto the wing of a plane after take off. When Lady Bullseye sees the plane of her commissioner, she fights with Spider-Woman until the latter gets one over on her to kick her off the wing. Using a suit modification, Spider-Woman channels a Venom Blast from her fist to her boot and sends Lady Bullseye falling. Making her way to the lane window, Spider-Woman is angrily panicked to find her brother Michael and realizes he bought Lady Bullseye's services. Inside, Michael sees Jess and tries to tell her he can explain.

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):As Jess gets a call that Luis wants to talk to her from his holding cell, Roger asked to accompany her but was refused as there was no time. At Metro Correctional, Luis explains that the twin swords he and Ray use were forged by brothers in Spain centuries ago, brought to the Americas with Conquistadors, and used to take land from Native Mesoamericans. When those brothers were killed, the blades were kept in their family's possession under guard until "worthy" hands could wield them again. As Spider-Woman acknowledges their motivation, she soon realizes she was called into a trap as Ray breaks into the jail, killing guards to free his brother. As they fight, Ray cuts the bars of numerous jail cells to free prisoners that attack Jess while he frees Luis. However, Ray ignores his brother's request for his sword, as both blades are making him feel like he can defeat Spider-Woman. Disarming him, Jess can sense the mystical bloodlust in the swords and buries it into the wall before suppressing the rest of the riot.
Luis, seeing his brother lost to the madness from the swords, fights and severs his brother's hand to stop him. Battered from stopping the riot, Spider-Woman uses her detachable wings as war fans to fight Luis, who blames her for Ray's madness and aimed to kill her. She parries and stops him, leaving the brothers to stay and be incarcerated for their crimes as she heads home to recover.
At home, Roger talks with Jess, feeling disrespected and unneeded, with her unable to refute him. While saying he'll be available to babysit Gerry if she needed him to do so, Roger takes his bag and leaves, with Jess tearfully only able to say she's sorry as he walks out.

SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Wiki):Returning to her "normal life" after her quest for a cure, and receiving a generous float by her brother after delivering the cure for Rebecca, Jessica settles payment with Big Ronnie for her new and classic suit repairs. Given that Ronnie made the new suit with features made by "Miriam" and Michael, Ronnie obliged a discounted repair of both suits with a beautiful dress, while failing to haggle a new costume for Roger.
As Jess and Roger go out for a fancy dinner in the dress she bought, Jess is sidetracked by new supervillain duo Los Espadas Gemelas de Toledo (Ray & Luis) robbing a bank and chases them through New York.
Attempting a stealth takedown over a dark alley, a modification to her suit by Ronnie almost costs her until another upgraded feature helps subdue and capture Luis, but Ray escapes with the stolen money. Seeing his brother taken by NYPD, Luis overlooks the street swearing revenge on Spider-Woman as he begins planning his brother's escape.
After Roger walks back to his and Jess' apartment to take Gerry from Linda's babysitting, she asked if he proposed to which he answers no given the robbery and chase. Once Jess returns, she is busy looking into the Los Espadas and coming off the high of fighting criminals as herself once more. Jess heads to bed exhausted, oblivious to Roger wanting to talk with the proposal ring he has on the table.

SYNOPSIS (by Seren):After being thrown into Wyndham's array, Jessica has been cured of the illness that has been plaguing her though not before she was able to prevent Octavia from killing her daughter Ophelia. Jess, no longer under Octavia's influence, plays it cool as Octavia disposes of her daughter's body and we learn that Octavia has been killing and re-cloning her daughter in a quest for the perfect child. Now, with Wyndham's cure at her disposal and Wydham himself out of the equation, she can make an entire army of clones to have at her beck and call.
However, Jess hasn't been playing it as cool as she thought, as Octavia reveals that she knew Jess was no longer under her thumb. A battle ensues as Jess tries to prevent Octavia from stepping into the array. As Jess and Octavia duke out their differences, Octavia reactivates Miriam's clones. In the resulting melee, she loses the device used to program them and the clones all run to their death in an effort to save it. Meanwhile, Jess is able to revive the High Evolutionary, who makes it to the console in time to alter his array. Jess is able to push Octavia into it and instead of being cured, Octavia is turned into one of his dinosaur hybrids.
After assuring Jessica that he can get both the array and Octavia fix, The High Evolutionary promises Jessica that she has free access to use it for whoever needs it. He offers to let her come with him back to Wundagore to continue her parents' research, but Jessica declines in favor of returning to her family and making amends with those she had hurt.
After a tearful reunion with Gerry and Roger, Jess heads to Linda's office, where she uses Gerry's adorable face and cookies to make her apologies. Her friends accept the bribe, however Carol isn't there and after a talking to from Rhodey, Jessica seaks her out.
Jess and Carol meet up in a Coffee Shop, where Carol calls Jess out on her behavior. Carol states that she isn't sure she can believe that Jess can change, but she's going to try. Jess promises that she'll try harder and the two hug.
Later, as Jess is putting Gerry to bed, she replaces his dinosaur plushie with a Jeff the Land Shark one. Roger asks what Jess wants to do with her suit, and initially, Jess tosses it (and the dinosaur) into the trash. However, after some compentplation, Jess decides to keep it and pulls it out of the trash, to be Spider-Woman for another day.

SYNOPSIS (by Wiki):After waking up from a nightmare, Jess is guided by a Miriam clone to Octavia and Ophelia, sparring in a dojo room talking about the latter's schoolwork, and Jess's arrival distracts the young girl for Octavia to wound before ending the training. Alone, Octavia recounts her origin as Otto Vermis' child undergoing experimentation, not dissimilar to Jess's childhood. Like Jess, Octavia chooses to have a child and lead a different life with a happier meaning. Finishing her story, Jess is finally brought before the High Evolutionary, who corrects her sardonic comment on the "hundreds of clones" of her mother with an accurate count of 75. He also affirms that Miriam was cloned when she was alive but indeed died by Hydra years earlier.
Wyndham explains to Jess that he owed a debt to Miriam, who came to him since her colleague Miles Warren became unstable, and she needed decoy clones to stave off Hydra. He elaborates that the clones became unstable after she died, conflating loving Jess with hating Hydra, keeping the surplus for a personal workforce with mental inhibitors, and sending one to be the Miriam that would watch over Jess's sleep. Feeling obliged to cure Jess, Gerry, and Rebecca, Wyndham sent Octavia to help Jess acquire the resources to make a cure in an energy array.
However, Jess doesn't trust the procedure, and Octavia uses a sequencer upon hearing Wyndham's code to free the Miriams, who goes into a rage trying to kill everyone present. While Octavia planned to sell the array to Michael Marchand for an untold fortune, much to Ophelia's disgust and anger as she fights to help Wyndham while Jess fights the frenzied clones aiming to kill her. As Octavia backstabs Wyndham, she manipulates Jess with promises of revenge by phrasing Wyndham's involvement as his fault. A mentally-addled Jess agrees with and motions to kill him as Ophelia fights her mother. Still, before she could commit, a group of Miriams attack her and unwittingly send her into the array with their assault.
Now cured, Jess recalls her actions during her sickness and realizes the horrible things she's done to those close to her since she started looking for a cure. As Octavia insults Ophelia as a disappointment for expecting some change in her mother, Ophelia comments on her mother's self-hate with seeing her daughter as her own weakness. Feigning maternal concern, Octavia moves to snap Ophelia's neck, and upon turning to Jess asks if there was a problem, with the hero acting unfazed.
Remember - To Know Her Is To Fear Her! Enjoy! SHOW NOTES:Jess bursts out of the Hulk Tank to take from Octavia Vermis a sample of the Marchand serum, as Octavia states that Jess' mind has been faltering since she began using the serum. Using Jess's need for a cure, and capitalizing on her declining mental state, Octavia proposes a co-op to find her cure, and convinces Jess by promising Hydra agents to beat up. At a previously unknown Hydra warehouse, Jess and Octavia battle Hydra goons inside who hate Octavia (ignorant of Jess) for betraying Hydra, but ultimately get a supply of the Latrodectus Aeternum Spiders. Next they reach the American Museum of Natural History already Venomized to brutally rob a disillusioned Stegron, and take a biological agent he had been developing.
Octavia drops Jess off at the final stop, a Stark Safe House for the Avengers to use, where after getting inside she has to contend with Rhodey who realizes that Carol's warning about Jess was correct.
Upon finding Jess stealing data from a server, Rhodey is furious at Jess for doing what she's doing while the Avengers are out trying to save the world, but Jess still belligerently fights her way to escape in desperation. She tells Rhodey to relay to Carol not come after her before meeting Octavia outside, warning her not to cross her; but Octavia also wants to avoid what can happen to her if she should fail, but is not fearful of Jess. Arriving at a secret volcano lair, they are greeted surprisingly by Octavia's daughter, Ophellia, but also Jess finally meets Herbert Wyndham, the High Evolutionary, surrounded by an army of Miriam Drew clones.
