When Eddie Brock is separated from his symbiote, Spider-Man agrees to help retrieve before Brock dies.
Tropes
- Can't Live Without You: Brock has spent so long bonded to the symbiote that he can't live without it.
- Chronic Villainy: Eddie has his symbiote forced off of him. As with many points in various Spider-Man continuities, he proves that he is actually still a decent guy if given the chance. However, as with just about every other example of this happening, it's followed by a situation in which Eddie is forced to become Venom again and forgets everything he learned.
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: At the end of the episode, Naoko tears Spider-Man a new one after he drives off Venom and Carnage. Granted, having her place of business destroyed was terrible, but Carnage was the one who attacked, and he and Venom together were the ones who did all of the damage. The Doc really had no right to claim that Spidey was as bad as them. Even worse since she's dealt with Spidey on a number of occasions already, including several in which he saved both her and Shane, and should thus be aware of.
- Heel–Face Turn: As he's dying, Eddie apologizes for all the harm he's caused. Unfortunately, the symbiote's brief reunion with Spider-Man didn't make it any more sympathetic towards humanity and it goes right back to serving the Synoptic after retaking Eddie.
- Ungrateful Bastard: When Spider-Man saves Eddie by retrieving the symbiote that had been separated from him, Spidey is rewarded with another attempt on his life. Then again, this is Venom talking rather than Eddie, so a bit more justification there.
- Also Spider-Man saves Naoko and her son from Carnage, only for her to blame him for her clinic's destruction and make him feel like trash.
