Ten years ago at the Hollister's we see Bill being pretty harsh on Lily for not getting into any honor roll classes. Carlie is over and feels a little awkward.
Today, Menace has defeated Spider-Man. Flying home in a fit of laughter, Menace doesn't care if nobody knows who was the one to defeat Spider-Man. Transforming back into Lily, she calls to get a poll set up for her father's election. Spider-Man's defeat and arrest should swing things into her father's favor. Harry walks in and sees Lily dressed in Menace's outfit.
She tells him everything. She found a hidden door in his closet and found an old journal of his. She begins giving him a hard time about whining so much about his father. Harry thinks her behavior is because she's sick. She continues to tell him she uncovered one of Norman's secret room in the journal. This explains why she kissed Peter after the Thunderbolts attacked, he almost found the secret trigger to open the room. When she had first gone in, she found all of the Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. Knocking over some chemicals, she absorbed them and is now able to transform at will. She explains that she discovered Menace's attacks against her father gave him more public support. She also tells him that she accepts his marriage proposal.
On Election Day, Harry goes to his father's office, grabs a mixture of chemicals, loads it up and takes a glider.
