Best episode in the show!

I'm a big advocator of spectacular spider man and I'm not going to waste time explaining why because this episode proves everything I think about the show.WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD Now the episode starts off with Peter at the hospital but when the drama really starts to boil is when he goes to school and gives his friends an ultimatum either give me money or don't try which sets up the perfect development for the character of flash as he knocks some sense into Peter. Once he does that Peter goes to the bell tower to remove the symbiote but it ties him up and shows him flashbacks of his life when he was once bitten by the spider which shows excellent respect for the spider man movie as many of the scenes are directly pulled from it and we get the true essence of Peter Parker when uncle Ben dishes out everything symbiote and Shows Peter his true self allowing him to get rid of the symbiote. The end of the episode provides a great setup for the next episode with Eddie Brock becoming venom,all in all this encompasses all the things I love about the show and it's one of the best episodes in any TV show ever.

Fantastic emotional beat!

This show is, I would say, fairly action focused, so it comes as a very pleasant surprise when this episode mostly focuses on how Spider-man was developed as an identity and how this shaped Peter Parker. Finally getting some Uncle backstory for this show was very touching, and it worked very well to use all the other moments where we've seen Peter have great friends and family to buoy this moment, and the Flash challenge as well.

I feel Brock's turn was a little rushed beforehand, but this episode does great with Brock and delivers a VERY good line from Brock's developing bad personality into Venom.
