I know Overdrive seems done with the villain thing, but now that's two-for-two of Spencer pairing supporting characters with Supervillains/criminals. What's next, Aunt May and the new Martin Li?

Maybe May Osborn? May Toomes?? May Mason???
The possibilities are endless!!
Considering Harry specifically took the the Goblin away so he couldn’t “protect” Norman, I imagine it’s connected to that. The Sins freed and returned thinks seems like set up for a story down the road so it’s entirely possible there’s more at play there.

I find it funny that Overdrive and Carlie are probably symbolized as the first BND villain and the BND love interest hooking up, kinda ironic and I kinda like this pairing, even though I never had a high opinion of Carlie. Overdrive grew on me with Spencer Superior foes.
Why do I find it hard to believe that everyone except Norman had their sins returned? Answer is I do not. I suspect Norman has something up his sleeve to trick Peter. You simply cannot be nice and ( or) trusting when it comes to Norman Osborn. It is like dealing with a crocodile.
Gotta say, the Carlie/Overdrive ship seems like it could be fun.
Norman will eventually revert to form, but seeing him seem so penitent --- and with Peter likely not to believe a single word of it, given their history --- is an interesting turn of events for now.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Welp...Carlie may not be a super-villain, but she's certainly dating one now. Maybe she and her new beau can drive off into the sunset together and out of the comic
But seriously, I thought the issue was pretty decent, particularly when it came to the Norman twist. That being said, the whole Kindred saga has gone well past being ripe. Let's remember that the one phrase that's been constantly brought up about Kindred, by both Spencer and in the comic itself has been, "Who is Kindred is less important than why he's doing this." Except, of course, we already knew why Kindred/Harry is doing this for several issues: because he thinks Peter is a sanctimonious hypocrite, because his dad's an a-hole, and because of One More Day.
What we don't know--and still don't after two years and two back-to-back story arcs--is how Harry turned from a guy who had finally put his life together and put his personal demons behind him--who had his wife back, his kids back, and even his mother back--to suddenly having demonic powers and seemingly being the only one (other than Mephisto) who knows about One More Day. It's like getting a new puzzle box and seeing the compete picture on the cover of the box, only when you open the box, there's scores of pieces missing.
