After an outing at a zoo, Jerry Hunt informs Jessica Drew that they can use SHIELD's computers to try and figure out who killed her father. Jerry agrees to let Jessica consult SHIELD's records, in spite of her friend Magnus's reservations about the idea. Soon they arrive at the SHIELD headquarters in Los Angeles where they search the records. The computer comes up with the answer: Pyrotechnics. That evening there is a meeting among the board of directors at Pyrotechnic. It is here that Senator James Wyatt tells the other members of the board that Spider-Woman must be destroyed due to her recent interference in their operations. As he gives this order, he is unaware that the building is being staked out by both Spider-Woman and Jerry Hunt. When Wyatt leaves the building, Spider-Woman follows after him while Jerry infiltrates the Pyrotechnics building to try and learn what the company is up to.

Spider-Woman follows Wyatt's car to a nearby military base, where she overhears Wyatt talking to one of the commanding officers about an injection of some kind. She decides to leave the scene to follow up with Jerry, believing that she will get caught if she hangs around for too much longer. Meanwhile, Jerry, having successfully broken into the Pyrotechnics building, begins to snoop around. Taking on the guise of a security guard, Jerry manages to take pictures of Pyrotechnic's files and hear a bit more about the company's plans as well before departing back to home base.

July 3rd

Back at the boarding house where Jessica stays with Magnus, the trio compare notes. They deduce that shortly after Jonathan Drew abandoned Jessica and left her in the care of Herbert Wyndham, he traveled to London, then on to America where he would work for Pyrotechnics.
