At the sheriff's office, Perkins walks in to greet the Sheriff to see if he has news for the local paper. Perkins then tells the Sheriff that he has a date with Terry and the Sheriff tells him to watch out for Kester. A local calls the Sheriff and asks if he can arrest the Preacher for disturbing the peace, but he tells them it isn't an arrest able offence. After the meteor hits the Earth, someone calls into the Sheriff's office and tells him their radio won't work and their car won't start. Dr. Jenny Langer introduces Dr. Vance to the Sheriff. Perkins walks into Dutch's cafe and greets Dr. Langer and the Sheriff and is introduced to Dr. Vance. Perkins then tells them about what happened to him and Terry the other night. Mrs. Cooper calls the Sheriff and tells him, her husband is missing. The Sheriff stops by and asks Kester if has seen Mr. Cooper, but Kester and Terry tell him they haven't. Later, Dr. Vance and Dr. Langer go to the Sheriff's office and the Sheriff tells them he just found the remains of Joe Cooper and they tell him there is a fifty foot spider on the loose. The Sheriff shows them some rocks he found near Mr. Cooper and they ask him if they can run some tests on them. Perkins calls the Sheriff and tells him about the attack on Terry. The Sheriff gets a call about a Giant Spider attack in Gleason, Wisconsin. The sheriff calls the National Guard and asks for help. Dr. Vance and Dr. Langer call the Sheriff and tell him to bring the spider towards the black hole. A large group of people gather around Dutch when the Sheriff arrives and the Sheriff orders the people to leave. The Giant Spider then attacks the town, and the Sheriff is left to deal with the wounded and dead when the Giant Spider leaves.
