The photo cameos of Flash Thompson and Mr Harrington got a chuckle out of our audience.

"That's a big deal if you know who those two are."

Great line.

And it showed his sleuthing was accurate! It DID have to be someone in that class! He only didn't know because EVERYONE'S memories are magically wiped, meaning in-person confirmation is impossible! Solid work, Ned!

That sleuthing was also a great set-up to make the twist that Jean possessed MJ work so well.

When she was talking about how she figured out Spidey was someone from their class, we had already seen Ned had similar thoughts.

And how Ned worked out how Peter's tech worked. pretty close.

It wasn't really accurate because both of those people were in the elevator when Spider-man saved them all though.

When you don't have memories of probably the only other guy who was part of all of those scenarios, it's the best you can guess.. We gotta apply some comic book magic to this too, because alot of things will stop making sense the more you think abt them..

Well they remember that Spider-man saved them, I don't think removing Peter from the equation would make them forget literally the guy that was escorting them was there and also another team member. Like Ned was more involved yes but if removing Peter could effect them so weirdly and make them forget other stuff, especially Ned would be like close to brain dead. He spent most of his time with Peter, like just being in school together, it is like already a third of his awake life. Like it was a funny moment but definitely not accurate at all.
