Synopsis Spidey searches Hell's Kitchen for Daredevil to confront him about the flubbed midnight meet that kept the web slinger out of a big chapter of the gang war; He doesn't find Matt but ends up facing a drug den full of kids; No one is more surprised than Peter when Matt shows up for lunch at Aunt May's; The pair have a shouting match in the back of a cab that eventually comes to blows; Hobgoblin catches one of Richard's men bugging the Kingpin's building; Lance contacts Peter and tells him that the Kingpin is coming back to town under heavy police protection; Spidey stops the Kingpin's car and begins to battle the mob boss only to discover that it is actually Daredevil dressed in a fat suit; The two heroes duel until DD appears to save Spidey's life from a bullet (a set-up courtesy of a police officer and the Falcon); DD assures Spidey that they will take the Kingpin down but they will do it legally through proper channels; Not only that, but their little fracas has allowed the Kingpin to be secreted home safely by a different route; Kingpin meets the Hobgoblin who provides him a folder with the true identity of the Rose; Kingpin tells the Arranger to dispose of the folder unopened because he already knows who the Rose is and is preparing to take him down.
