In the series' finale Spider-Man tackles not one of his own enemies but the Human Torch villain Wizard who teams up with Medusa using a collar to control her mind. Medusa is an Inhuman, a race of mutated humans with different abilities - Medusa has psychokinetic control over her hair. Certainly not the coolest of abilities but a very unique one nonetheless.
The series finale is pretty underwhelming if you see it as the finale, especially after the Doctor Doom saga and even the Kingpin two-parter, but if you see it as just another episode, it is okay.
The episode features a few weird moments like Spider-Man and Medusa apparently knowing each other and Spidey flirting with Medusa several times. The existience of Betty Brant is not acknowledged in this episode. So after the efforts they took to create continuity for this series in the last episodes let's just hope Peter and Betty had a clean break-up before Spidey apparently started having feelings for Medusa.
Another odd moment is that Wizard openly invites Medusa to talk (they were in a supervillain team together) and the meeting point is... a giant hairspray can. It is a weird and unnecessary detail but hilarious at the same time.
But it defintely is not a weak episode as there's also lots of screentime for the emotional rollercoaster Spidey and Medusa go through.
