Go To


This episode contains examples of:

  • The Bad Guy Wins: Dr. Connors successfully gets Max fired from Horizon and takes over the school. He even has Spider-Man banned from entering school grounds.
  • Death Glare: Gwen and Anya do this together to Miles, suspecting that he knew all along that Peter is Spider-Man. Miles being a Bad Liar to defend himself didn't help things.
  • Dramatic Unmask: After Connors announces to the school board that Spidey's testimony for Max is rendered moot because he's Peter Parker, who works with Max on occasion. Peter is given no choice but to reveal himself to them and his friends. This allows Connors to pin Max for disregarding the student body's safety for his own benefit and finalizes his termination from Horizon.
  • Hate Sink: Dr. Conners officially wanders into this territory. He destroys any hope of Max's name being cleared and exposes Peter as Spider-Man to the school board.
  • Hypocrite: Connors accuses Max this during the hearings. Max refuse to employ people because their rap sheet of committing illicit experiments and research, but he has been frequently tampering with the dangerous V-252.
  • Internal Reveal: At long last, Gwen and Anya found out Peter is Spider-Man.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: His attitude may be uncouth, but Connors has a point that Peter's prescience in Horizon High, as himself and Spider-Man, has attracted a lot of trouble which make Max unfit to run the place as principal. There is also the fact that Max has been messing with the V-252 time and again, despite learning how dangerous it is.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Miles telling Gwen and Anya about Peter stopping Rhino before switching it to Spider-Man has led to Dr. Connors putting two and two together the secret which led to the reveal to them and Max getting fired from Horizon High.
    • Of course it's not directly confirmed if he already knew beforehand.
  • On One Condition: Following the proceedings that got Max fired, the school board decides to keep Peter's identity as Spider-Man a secret and allow him to continue as a student of Horizon High... so long as he's not seen in costume while on school grounds thanks to the danger he represents.
  • Psychotic Smirk: Dr. Connors does this thrice: one when he found out Peter is Spider-Man from eavesdropping Miles' conversation with Gwen and Anya on who is pursuing Rhino; second when Spider-Man unmasks himself to be Peter Parker; and third when he gained the position of intern principal from Max.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: The Head Administrator is willing to keep Spider-Man’s identity a secret and allows Peter to continue attending Horizon so long as he isn’t seen in costume on school grounds.
  • Speak Ill of the Dead: Despite Pete acknowledging Otto Octavius as a hero, Connors reminds everyone of his times as the villainous Doc Ock.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: After having Max ousted from Horizon High, Dr. Connors is given full control of the school.
  • Wham Episode: Spider-Man’s Secret Identity as Peter Parker is finally revealed to Gwen and Anya, as well as to Horizon’s school board. Max is fired from his job and Dr. Connors becomes the new principal of Horizon High.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Gwen and Anya are at first not happy at all with Peter for not trusting them with keeping his Spider-Man identity a secret. Especially since he fought with villains directly by their side.
