Exeter came from behind to complete a Devon derby double over Plymouth.
Reuben Reid had put Argyle ahead from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time, after visiting captain Danny Coles handled Matt Parsons' cross.
Liam Sercombe's 20-yard deflected shot brought the Grecians level after it looped up over the Plymouth goalkeeper Jake Cole in 69th minute.
Tom Nichols then set up on-loan forward Eliot Richards late on, who scored his third goal in two games.
The Pilgrims now sit three points off the League Two play-off places with seven games left, while Exeter are seven points above the relegation zone.
