[edit] Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The episode begins with Hydro-Man stealing a two million dollar necklace, which was placed on display in a water tank. The guards hit the panic button and Spider-Man appears. He follows Hydro-Man and later Hydro-Man drops Spider-Man in the water tank. When the guards arrive, they think that Spider-Man had stolen the necklace. So, Spider-Man ties up the guards and flees.

Next day, Mary-Jane is with Peter at a restaurant and she gets a call from Hydro-Man, from which she gets very jumpy and goes home. So Peter decided to find out who called her and put on his costume and follow Mary-Jane's cab. Mary-Jane goes to meet Hydro-Man, there he gives her the necklace he stole, but Mary-Jane gives it back saying it's over between them, then she leaves. Later Hydro-Man follow her and shows her his powers and says that he can control all the water around him. Then Mary Jane runs away, so Hydro-Man creates a huge wave to capture her, but she is saved by Spider-Man. Then Spider-Man tries to use his powers and webbing to stop Hydro-Man, but they just go through him since he becomes liquid. Later Spider-Man finds Mary Jane and takes her to safety. She then tells him that she used to date him in high school.

Later Peter creates an antidote to stop Hydro-Man. The next day Hydro-Man kidnaps Mary Jane and takes her to his hideout. There he shows her all the stuff he stole. He tells her that his parents made him enlist in the Navy and later he had an accident which gave him his powers. Then Mary Jane says that she doesn't love him, so Hydro-man says that he will flood the city and gets angry. Just then Spider-Man arrives. Spider-Man comes with a new batch of webbing which freezes Hydro-Man. But while Spider-Man is talking to Mary-Jane, Hydro-man gets free and throws Spider-Man away with his powers and knocks him out. Meanwhile Mary Jane runs away and Hydro-man follows her. She goes inside a paper factory. Spider-Man also goes there when he recovers. Mary Jane drops a huge bundle of paper onto Hydro-Man, which makes Hydro-man weaker because there isn't any water around so that he would become bigger. Mary Jane then drops some solution she finds in the paper factory on him and he starts evaporating. Then she goes up onto the roof and Hyrdo-Man follows. Spider-Man then comes and tells him that it's over and there is no more water to feed him. In anger Hydro-man attacks Spider-Man and he falls all over the roof and evaporates and his remains become hardened.
