    Bob has cloned a Venom symbiote from a fragment of the real Venom's tongue but finds his new creation hard to control as it kills anyone he tries to combine it with. He finally has success with an elderly psychiatric patient and decides to begin the next phase of his plan. Perry arrives to take the symbiote to their Arctic base. Back at Four Freedom's Plaza, S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives to take custody of Eddie's Venom suit. One of Reed's alien nano-beings hitches a ride with Nick Fury and starts to talk to him about the symbiote.
