Spidermandy is the 21st episode from season 5 of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
Plot[]
A tired and sad Billy arrives home from school, complaining to his parents that he felt like he "spent the whole day with a clamp on his head". Gladys sees that he DOES have a clamp on his head, and wonders if they should tell him, though Harold stops her as there's no fun in that.
Billy gets into bed, only to find Jeff sitting right next to him. After Billy's usual bout of terror towards his son, Jeff explains that he came down with a case of the "Spider-Pox" and decided that it would be best for Billy to take care of him until he gets better, and now that he's here, he'll take a long nap.
After trying to sleep in his parents' bed (Harold yells at him with a megaphone) and his cat's spot on the TV (he throws Billy through the window), Billy decides to sleep outside near the fence. Pud'n looks over and asks why Billy is sleeping on the ground, and he explains his current situation.
Pud'n then wonders since Billy's the spider's father, then wouldn't that make Mandy the spider's mother, as he believes the two are married. This gives Billy an idea, but he pauses to ask Pud'n why he's outside. Pud'n reveals that he was raised by wolves and therefore lives outside.
Billy arrives at Mandy's house at 3 in the morning and asks her to marry him, with a balloon held between his fingers as a "ring". Though Mandy cuts through his nonsense and orders Billy to tell what's going on, so he explains how he needs to marry her so that she'll be Jeff's mom and take care of him in Billy's place until he gets out of his bed.
She then kicks him out of the house and he falls asleep on her yard. The next morning, Mandy wakes up to find that she's covered in bumps and has three new pairs of arms. Billy is much too frightened of her new spider like attributes to help her find Grim, so she webs his mouth shut.
Billy's parents are snared by a web and kidnapped just as Grim walks in the door. He doesn't seem to notice and goes to dig through the refrigerator while Milkshakes is kidnapped as well. Grim is attacked by a giant spider looming overhead. When Billy arrives home, he find Grim, Milkshakes and his parents trapped in a giant spider web. It turns out that Mandy, who has been turned into a spider monster thanks to the virus, has uncontrollably captured everyone in the house. Billy runs in terror and Grim detaches his head so he can follow Billy. Grim explains that the only way to cure Spider Pox is to use venom from the spider that infected Mandy. Billy gets some venom from Jeff's fang to fill up a potion to cure Mandy's spider form, but Mandy enters the room.
Mandy tries to attack Jeff, who is delighted and believes that she's his mother. Billy uses the venom to turn Mandy back to normal. Billy orders Jeff to leave and never return, which he does. Mandy told Billy that he's saved her life and is impressed, Billy again asks Mandy a question of decent emphasis about him, and while he's talking to Mandy, drinks the glass of antidote venom mistaking it for lemonade then he seemingly drops dead. When he wakes up a few days later in his bed, Grim reveals that Billy had the germs for the Spider-Pox on his unwashed hands which gave it to everyone he came in contact with and when opening the door, he finds everyone in Endsville having the Spider-Pox. Billy remarks on the amount of antidote for but Grim says, since he told Jeff to leave, no one could get any of the venom antidote, meaning that everyone else in Endsville is a giant spider, much to Billy's horror.
