Spider-Man, remembering how the Symbiote was unusually weakened when he was earlier attacked with a Sonic Blaster, realizes that it is particularly sensitive to loud noises. He uses the church bells and the noise weakens the Symbiote, and it sloughs off Peter. Back at the Kingpin's headquarters, Smythe discovers why Spider-Man was so willing to trade the dangerous "Promethium X" back to them: as it turns out, "Promethium X" has an extremely short half-life, and in a matter of days it has already decayed into a harmless lump of lead.
