30,000 feet above the Atlantic, Peter Parker and Joy Mercado are flying home after their assignment on the United Kingdom for Now Magazine. Peter is impressed with the photos he took and asks Joy if he has a future in the photojournalism field. Joy doesn't think so, saying that he is unreliable and unprofessional. She then excuses herself to go to the washroom. This frustrates Peter who wonders what he did wrong and follows Joy into the bathroom and demands that she explain herself. She reminds him of the special arrangement he has with Spider-Man, tipping each other off for photo opportunities and splitting the money. She tells him that she thought he was finally taking his job seriously, but sees that he is still using Spider-Man as a crutch. Peter tries to defend himself, but he can't do so and leaves. He realizes that he has been done out by his own cover story and returns to his seat.
