Daisy failed to reach Jane, Erik, or S.H.I.E.L.D., so she called Oz while Ian misread her praise of Oz as an attraction to body hair. Ian then spotted a news report showing Erik Selvig streaking at Stonehenge, while an unseen young woman used a glowing star chart and vanished.

Peter spent the morning at Midtown High with Ned, who told him about a Shouki no Kami model gifted by Nahida. In chemistry class, Peter met the new exchange student Mona, whose unusual greeting made him crush a beaker.

• Peter freed his locker from a couple by helping Ned wipe hazelnut chocolate off his hand, then gave Ned a soup dumpling.
• Ned invited Peter to build LEGO and revealed that Nahida had given him a Shouki no Kami model, but Peter said he had to work and was saving for an Iron Man model.
• The principal introduced Mona Megistus as a two-month exchange student at Midtown High School.
• Mona chose the seat beside Peter, introduced herself, and called him a little spider, prompting him to crush a glass beaker.

Peter grew suspicious that Mona could predict events through astrology, but she left before he could learn more and warned that a Civil War was about to begin. At Avengers headquarters, the team debated the Sokovia Accords and learned that Natasha would represent them at the signing ceremony in Vienna the next day.

• Peter became distracted by Mona’s hints about the spider, broken test tubes, and a mop in the girls’ restroom, then accidentally shattered Flash’s chemistry equipment.

• Mona predicted that the fires of Civil War were about to ignite, then left before Peter could get her phone number.
• Tony, Steve, Natasha, Sam, Wanda, and Vision argued over the Sokovia Accords, with Steve opposing signing because it would surrender the Avengers’ freedom to choose.

Mona left Midtown High School and returned to her storefront, where a boy in a broad hat arrived to take her somewhere at the Traveler’s request. At the Sokovia Accords conference in Vienna, a bomb exploded, but a girl rescued T’Chaka and Shouki no Kami stopped the blast from causing greater damage; T’Challa then discovered the mech’s pilot was not Tony Stark.

• Shouki no Kami appeared and was revealed to have thrown the truck into the air before it detonated; when T’Challa thanked its pilot, the voice inside insulted him instead of answering as Tony Stark.

Shouki no Kami stopped a bombing at the Sokovia Accords signing ceremony, and Mona accepted King T’Chaka’s invitation and brooch before joining Natasha.

• Malekith’s infiltrator arrived at the Court of Sinners disguised among the prisoners and found Lin Ze and Paimon in a cell.

The trap revealed an Ice-Blue Monstrous Flower in Jane’s place and Loki disguised as Frigga, leaving the mole stabbed and Malekith caught off guard.

• Lin Ze told Albedo he needed to return to Earth before the Convergence and asked Fischl whether the sealed Immernachtreich could protect something from discovery.
• Fischl assured Lin Ze that only someone with the password and the sovereign's permission could enter the Immernachtreich, then whispered the new password to Paimon.

Daisy and Ian met Coulson to retrieve Erik Selvig, whose device warned that the Convergence was beginning. As Erik and Mona were sent to Cranberry Street by a sudden surge of water, Daisy and Ian were left behind with an awkward moment.
