SYNOPSIS (courtesy of Wiki): Los Angeles, California, and a pair of costumed twins called the Brother Grimm are terrorizing a stage production of Hansel and Gretel and rob the audience of their valuables. Later they terrorize the home of Congressman James T. Wyatt, where they try to blackmail the Congressman out of $50,000. When Wyatt complied, he was locked in a safe to die. Meanwhile, Jessica Drew and her friend Magnus arrive in Los Angeles, where Jessica begins looking for a job and lodgings as well as continuing her search for her father. The two of them end up taking rooms with Priscilla Dolly, an eccentric landlady who has two sons named Jacob and William. With Magnus's help, Jessica finds out that her father is dead, and visits his grave. She gets upset at Magnus, figuring that he manipulated her, like the High Evolutionary and Hydra before him. However, Magnus advises her that he only wishes to help her learn the truth behind her father's death. That night as Spider-Woman, Jessica breaks into police headquarters to learn more about her father's death. Finding the file, she suddenly becomes interested in the loud conversation happening in the next office. Listening in, she overhears James Wyatt giving a statement to the police. Dismissing this as none of her business, Jessica heads home with the file on her father. Reading it with Magnus, Jessica learns that her father worked for a company called Pyro-Technics and that he had ties with the Congressman. As she considers paying the congressman a visit her thoughts are interrupted when she overhears Jacob and William Dolly arguing each other. However, their spat is quickly dispelled by their mother, Priscilla, who wishes things could be like they were before their father die. Later Jessica goes out as Spider-Woman and confronts the Congressman at his office looking for answers. The Senator tries to shoot her, but she disarms him with a venom blast. As she tries to get answers out of him they are interrupted by Brother Grimm who bursts into the room. As it turns out, Wyatt gave Brother Grimm counterfeit money the night before and now he has come to demand more. When Spider-Woman tires to learn who Brother Grimm is, the villain attacks her. While they fight, Congressman Wyatt calls the authorities. Defeating Brother Grimm, Spider-Woman flees the scene when she hears police sirens approaching, leaving Brother Grim for the cops, telling Wyatt that she will be back. When the authorities arrive on the scene, the Congressman fears that Spider-Woman could ruin him if news got out that he was handing out counterfeit money and begins plotting to silence her. Outside, Spider-Woman watches as the officers take Brother Grimm into custody. Deciding that she hit a dead end here, she decides to investigate the only other lead she has, Pyro-Technics, Inc. When the police get Brother Grimm to the station for questioning, he refuses to talk. On her way back to her apartment, Spider-Woman is once more attacked by Brother Grimm. The fact that he is not in police custody and that he has an entirely different demeanor confuses her. She tries to subdue him, but Brother Grimm manages to escape and warns her to stay out of his business in the future. Returning to her apartment, she tells Magnus that she will investigate Pyro-Technics tomorrow. That's when they hear a radio report about Brother Grimm breaking out of jail. To her surprise, his escape happened an hour after her last encounter with him, leaving her to wonder what is going on. VENOM BLASTS (things to look out for in episode)!! Seren's new swag!

Enjoy! 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.

However before she can pull the sword out of the stone, she is confronted by officers of Scotland Yard and is forced to flee. This gives Slapper Struthers, a thief who broke into the museum, a moment alone to pull the sword out himself. In doing so, he is connected through the ages to Morgan le Fay, who chooses him to be her tool in the modern age. She sends the soul of a knight to possess Struthers' body changing him into her warrior, Excalibur. When the police officers hear the commotion, Excalibur attacks them, drawing Spider-Woman back to defend them, but she is knocked out by one of his mystical blasts for long enough to allow him to escape. Exhausted by her encounter, Spider-Woman leaves the scene and returns home to rest. The next day, as Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman attempts to find employment with minimal success. Walking the streets of London she once more believes that people's aversion to her is because experiments conducted on her years ago by the High Evolutionary has made her more than human, and people can sense this on an unconscious level. Eventually, she is drawn into the shop of Charles Magnus, who promises to read her fortune for free. He tells her that he sees a great destiny in store for her in America. At that same moment, Jerry Hunt -- a SHIELD liaison to Scotland Yard -- continues to obsess over the files about Spider-Woman and once more orders her to be brought to him. His colleague, Frank, is concerned about his obsession with this mystery woman and asks why he is so determined to find her. After a moment to think it over, Jerry admits that he has fallen in love with the masked vigilante. Meanwhile, Slapper Struther's is in an Underground station when some force pushes him out onto the tracks. This is Mordan le Fay, who transforms Struthers into Excalibur once. Seeing an approaching subway train as a dragon, he destroys it with a single swing of his enchanted sword. She then orders Excalibur to return to the surface. There he uses his magical abilities to summon a horse so he can carry out his mission for her. By this time, Jessica Drew has returned home to think about what Magnus told her, and contemplates about going to America. Going out for a walk, she sees Excalibur on the rampage and changes into Spider-Woman to try and stop him. She fails to stop Excalibur from making his way to the shop owned by Charles Magus. Setting the building ablaze, Excalibur demands that Magnus turn over a book of spells so that he can give it to his master. However, Magnus refuses to turn over the book as the black arts must not be used ever again. As Spider-Woman recovers from Excalibur's attack, word of her battle reaches Jerry Hunt who rushes to the scene. At that moment, Magnus distracts Excalibur long enough for Spider-Woman to knock his sword out of his hand. She then prevents him from recovering it long that the warrior reverts back to normal. Slapper Struthers is then knocked out by Spider-Woman with a single punch. In the aftermath of the battle, Magnus explains that Morgan le Fay is an old enemy of his, despite the gulf of centuries that separate them. Then, with a wave of his hand, Magnus makes his shop disappear and tells Spider-Woman that their destinies await them in America. By the time Jerry Hunt and the authorities arrive on the scene the only thing they find is the unconscious body of Slapper Struthers. Pinned to his shirt is a note that simply reads "America Spider-Woman". Deducing that Spider-Woman is going to the United States, Jerry decides to put in a request to his superiors at SHIELD so he can follow her there. VENOM BLASTS (things to look out for in episode)!!

He revealed she wasn't one of the New Men as she was told by Hydra's Otto Vermis. In reality, she was a human being. She was Jessica Drew, the daughter of Jonathan and Miriam Drew. They worked with Herbert Wyndham on Wundagore Mountain. Jessica fell victim to radiation poisoning, and her father treated her. Her mother, however, would eventually die. Failing to find a cure for Jessica's condition, Jonathan would leave Wundagore, leaving Wyndham to try and find a cure for the girl's radiation poisoning.

Quickly she pushes Jerry to safety and flees the scene. Back home, she decides to do a better disguise job at disguising herself. To do so she alters her mask and dyes her hair black. Going out as Spider-Woman once more, she would later find Jerry and the authorities trying to stop some crooks who are armed with hi-tech lasers. She recognizes these men as Chauncy and Trevor. two men she encountered with the Thing and later Modred. Jerry is injured in the crossfire prompting Spider-Woman to swoop in and get him to safety. She then turns her attention to the two gunmen and discovers that she is immune to the unique radiation emitted from their weapons.

Spider-Woman grabs Jerry and flies away to a hospital, where she administers a blood transfusion allowing him to recover from his injuries much faster than normal. Not only is he surprised to learn that Spider-Woman saved his life, he is also informed that the captured criminals had stolen metal plates that they thought they could use to create billions in counterfeit money. However, a recent change in currency in the United Kingdom made this plot utterly useless. When they try to explain how Jerry's superior, Nick Fury, responded to all of this they notice that Hunt's mind is miles away as he is still thinking about Spider-Woman.

Deep within their base, Jess is shown footage of Jared at a Morrocan Marketplace, killing innocents and children. All doubt is dispelled for Jess and Fury dives further, allowing Jess to understand how SHIELD know so much about her, and the true origins of her parents’ work. Fury also reveals to Jess what HYDRA were doing to her - studying, experimenting - once they learned of her unique physiology, and why they kept her in stasis in a tank. All too much to bear, Jess lashes out and escapes with Fury calling off the agents to follow her. Time passes and Jess is not seen nor heard from and it is only after two years, that Fury finally gains intel into the whereabouts of Jessica Drew. Discreet and within a London nightclub, Jared finally tracks Jess down - black hair and all - and wreaks his revenge on her. After being captured by SHIELD Jared had been subjected to relentless psychic interrogation, all of which drove him to seek revenge on Jess. His mission to befriend Jess, the interrogation…all of it had resulted in Jared forming a deep hatred towards Jess, but before he can enact his revenge, Jess flees only to run into a group of HYDRA agents led by Taskmaster. In an awesome display of power, Jess incapacitates the 30-odd men, using Taskmaster as the conduit for her venom blasts. She heads back to Jared who is on the verge of blacking out, and abducts him. As Jared awakens, he realises he’s strapped to a plane, hurtling towards General Wyndham. Jess leaves Jared to his fate and as the plane explodes into the building, Jess glides away in full costume.
