Spidey comes to rest on a nearby rooftop and to grab hold of his automatic camera, which he had webbed up there to get shots of his pursuing Screwball. Spidey knows he got really good shots of the confrontation; however, if he gives them to Dexter Bennett, he has a bad feeling that he'll find a way to twist the facts for the next edition of the DB, and make everybody think Spider-Man is some kind of psycho. On the other hand, Bennett has been pretty generous with respect to pictures of Spider-Man; so with that kind of money, he'll finally be able to move out of Aunt May's place. Spidey decides to sell the pictures to Dexter Bennett.

A few minutes later, Peter arrives at the DB, only to find out that he's too late with his pictures. Peter doesn't understand, as he just got back from the whole Spidey-Screwball dust-up. Dexter Bennett explains that, while he stayed for the whole thing, everybody else with a digital camera or cheap cell phone took similar shots and emailed them in. Bennett tells Peter that he has something in mind for Peter; something that is the perfect match for his skill set. As they walk through the bullpen, Bennett explains to Peter that his abilities to take pictures from every height and vantage points make him the perfect candidate to join the paparazzi beat. Having said that, he points to a nearby magazine featuring a handsome-looking guy on the cover and tells Peter that the guy, Bobby Carr, is Hollywood’s newest bad boy and that he's in town all week. Any embarrassing pictures of Carr is worth five figures but the big payday is getting a picture of the mystery girl Carr is dating, which Bennett prices at two million dollars. Stunned, Peter replies that Bennett's offer is more than every photo he's ever taken for J. Jonah Jameson. Having overheard their conversation, Joe "Robbie" Robertson cannot believe what is happening to the newspaper. Robbie knows for a fact that Jameson would never stoop so low, would never turn the Bugle into something like this. He vows to stay strong, to hang in there, because he secretly hopes that Jonah has a plan, that he’s going to find a way to take back the Bugle and set things right.

Speaking of the devil, Jameson is partaking in a Tai Chi class in order to find inner peace and balance. Unfortunately, the instructor probably didn't count on Jameson spotting a large overhead billboard for the DB featuring Spider-Man and advertising itself as New York's best selling paper. When Jameson sees said billboard, it brings out his inner Ninja, and he starts kicking and waving his hands around erratically. His fellow Tai Chi students take off running, scared of Jameson. A police cruiser passes by as this happens, so they pull over and get out of the car to investigate the commotion. Officers Alan O'Neil and Vinnie Gonzales come up to Jonah asking him what is going on. Jonah explodes in O’Neil's face, telling him that he's J. Jonah Jameson and is about to say that he's the publisher of the Daily Bugle, when he realizes that it no longer exists. Vinnie steps in and tells Jonah that he recognizes him and that he used to read his Spider-Man editorials all the time; as far as Vinnie is concerned, Jonah is all right in his book. Having said that, Vinnie and Alan return to their cruiser. Jonah waves goodbye and yells to Vinnie that he's a credit to his uniform. It seems Vinnie's compliment cheered up Jonah. As they reach the police cruiser, O'Neil asks Vinnie if he wants to go grab a beer once their shift is over. Vinnie replies that he has to clean up his apartment, as he might be getting a new roommate in a few days – Peter Parker, DB photographer.

Later that night at the Deep End Club on Bulberry, Bobby Carr makes his entrance to the chorus of a hundred paparazzi flashes. Peter Parker is amongst them but doesn't manage to even take a single shot, as he comes to the realization that it's every man for himself. Realizing that the time has come to go with his strengths, Peter goes around back, takes off his shoes and starts crawling up the side of the building. He soon reaches a row of windows and finds one unlocked. He climbs through and enters the club. Having been there before with Harry Osborn, Lily Hollister and Carlie Cooper, Peter heads to the back of the club, where there's a special area for bigwigs. He then sits and wait (he's up on the second level, looking down). Bobby Carr and his entourage grab the finest private booth and soon start sipping back Martinis and other drinks. At one point throughout the evening, one of the waitresses approaches Carr and asks if she can get an autograph for her mother, who’s a fan of him. Carr loses it and smacks her drink tray out of her hands. Witnessing this happening, Peter starts taking pictures, alerting Carr and his entourage of his presence. Carr instructs his bodyguards to catch him and grab his camera. However, as the two bodyguards make their way up the stairs to the second floor, Peter uses his amazing acrobatic abilities and eludes the two of them on his way down. Peter exits the private area and runs into Lily Hollister, who is there with Harry. Peter is so taken aback by her beauty, he forgets all about being chased by Carr's bodyguards. Next thing you know, a large fist smashes into his head, causing him to fall to the floor. Having observed what happened, Harry Osborn comes to Peter's rescue; that is, until Peter reveals that he's on assignment for the DB – taking some celebrity photos. When Harry realizes that Peter has become a paparazzi, he is so shocked that he decides to not help Peter after all, and tells the club manager that he doesn't know him. Carr's bodyguards pick Peter off the ground, head outside, and thrown him into the dumpster. They also toss his camera to the ground and it breaks apart on impact. Fortunately for Peter, his memory card is still intact. As he walks away, he revels in the fact that with the money he’s going to get for his pictures, he'll be able to purchase a new camera and finish paying Harry back for the money he was loaned.

Unbeknownst to Peter, as he leaves, a pair of eyes appears on the graffiti-covered brick wall and seconds later, a woman emerges from the wall, going from being a flat two-dimensional character to a full fledge three-dimensional being. She peeks around the corner of the building and sees a fuming Bobby Car leaving the club and getting into a waiting limousine. The club manage apologizes profusely for what happened but Bobby Carr is not in the mood for apologies. Bobby complains that nobody "gets" him. Overhearing Carr's comment, the woman feels sorry for him, and sympathizes with him, because she's the only one that can understand, the only one who sees him for what he really is.

Meanwhile at the DB, Dexter Bennett is absolutely delighted with the pictures Peter managed to take of Bobby Carr. Bennett makes good on his promise to give Peter loads of cash for such picture. While Bennett races off to stop the press so they can change the front page to expose Bobby Carr for the phony he really is, Peter hangs back to talk with Joe "Robbie" Robertson, who asks Pete if Bennett reminds him of anyone. Peter admits that Bennett does sound a lot like Jonah used to. Robbie finishes Peter's sentence and adds that Jonah used to act like that when he'd go after Spider-Man. Peter argues that celebrities are different; as public figures, they go looking for fame and attention, whereas Spider-Man hides behind a mask and desires anonymity. Robbie asks Peter if he has an arrangement with Bobby Carr like the one he has with Spider-Man to take his pictures. Peter tells Robbie that when either Spidey and him start making millions of dollars selling ourselves as product, he'll be the first to agree with him, but right now, he has a job to do. Having said that, he races off to take more paparazzi pictures.

A short time later at the Parker home in Forest Hills, Queens, Peter is in the midst of packing up his stuff, as he's soon moving into the City (with Officer Vinnie Gonzales). Aunt May tells Peter she's glad he's getting his life back on track; however, she's not sure if she likes his new job, as a paparazzi. She asks if that's really what he wants to do with his life. Peter tells Aunt May she's beginning to sound like Robbie Robertson and goes on saying that it's a victimless crime, where the celebrities get the good-slash-bad attention that keeps them in the public eye, the public gets the product they obviously want and nobody gets hurt in the process.

Elsewhere, the two-to-three-dimensional woman introduced earlier walks up to a newsstand and tells the owner that she wants to buy every single copy of the morning's DB, which features a life-size photograph of Bobby Carr on the cover. She heads back home and pins the front page to a wall already covered by hundreds of pictures of Carr. She then merges into the wall, her face close to that of Bobby Carr, as if read to kiss him: "We're so good for each other, Bobby. We're so good on paper".

To be continued.
