Summary

  At Christmas, Threnody tours the cancer ward, killing the patients and feeding off their deaths. For dessert, she kills the homeless.

  In Queens, Anna gives gifts to Mary Jane and Peter, whose spider-sense warns him to go to the neighbor's garage. He finds Nate, whose psi-powers have gone amuck in proximity to Morbius, transforming him into a vampire.

  Maddie has gone to Shaw without Selene and heals his facial scar, offering a direct alliance.

  With Spider-Man, Nate follows the trail of death to Threnody, who is visiting her mother's grave in the Bronx. Morbius is there, too, having absorbed Nate's attraction to her. They share a hunger for death. She attacks Spider-Man, while Morbius gets slammed by Nate. Spider-Man chases him, and Threnody apologizes to Nate, who realizes what she has done and leaves her.

  Just then, Maddie confronts her.
