Paralyzed by her venom, Peter is at Ero's mercy. His mysterious Other, that accompanied him in his resurrection, she is totally devoted to his destruction, and plans to use him as a host for her egg-sac, until it bursts giving birth to an army of creatures like her. But his longtime friend Betty Brant provides him with the distraction he needs to recover. Badly wounded, Ero tries to flee, but Peter intends to chase her down and end the menace she represents once and for all.
