While working in an OsCorp laboratory, Max shocks himself by accident and falls into a tank of genetically-engineered electric eels. The next day, Norman dies, and Harry is appointed the new OsCorp CEO. Norman gives Harry a small device he claims contains his life's work. Norman explains his illness is genetic, and Harry is at the age where it first develops. Peter's childhood friend, Harry Osborn, returns to Manhattan to see his terminally-ill father, Norman, CEO of OsCorp. Later, Peter meets with his girlfriend Gwen Stacy at their high school graduation ceremony and, insisting he keep his vow to her late father, ends their relationship. He pursues and apprehends Aleksei Sytsevich and saves Max Dillion's life before a taxi could have hit him. In the present time, Richard's son, Peter, continues to fight crime as Spider-Man. Richard and Mary fight off the man, but the ensuing struggle causes the plane to crash, killing them both, after he uploads the video. Later, he and his wife, Mary, are aboard a private jet hijacked by an assassin sent to kill Richard and his wife. OsCorp scientist Richard Parker records a video message to explain his disappearance.
