In Oddities season 1 episode 2 titled "The Model Mortician," viewers are taken on an intriguing journey inside an unusual New York City shop that specializes in unique and often creepy items. Obscura Antiques and Oddities is the name of the shop, and it is home to a remarkable array of bizarre and eclectic products.

The episode follows the store's owners, Mike Zohn and Evan Michelson, as they search for and acquire some truly unusual items. These include a collection of taxidermy bats, a globe filled with preserved insects, and a set of porcelain dentures adorned with tiny gold teeth.

Viewers are also introduced to a customer named Rebecca, who is searching for a unique wedding gift for her mortician boyfriend Shane. The couple shares a love for the macabre, and Rebecca believes that a gift from Obscura would be the perfect gesture.

Mike and Evan help Rebecca find the ideal item, settling on a model of a cadaver that has been dissected and placed in individual compartments for display. The model is used by medical students to learn about the human body and is a fitting gift for Shane, who works with the dead on a daily basis.

Throughout the episode, Mike and Evan are also tasked with helping out a woman named Emilee, who is looking to sell a beautiful but eerie Victorian mourning dress. The dress is made from black silk and features intricate lace detailing, but its dark history is what makes it truly unique. It was worn by a deceased woman during her funeral, and Emilee hopes to part with it for a significant sum.

As always, the shop is filled with its usual cast of characters, from a performer who specializes in fire-breathing to a man who collects shrunken heads. The customers who frequent the store are just as fascinating as the items they are hunting for, with their individual stories and reasons for wanting to acquire the oddities on display.

The episode is a fascinating look at a world that most people would never even know existed. It is a tribute to the human fascination with the strange and unusual, and a glimpse into the minds of those who are drawn to it.

Overall, "The Model Mortician" is a perfect representation of what Oddities is all about. It is a show that celebrates the weird and wonderful and shines a light on those who seek out the unique. It is a fascinating journey into the strange and macabre, and a must-watch for anyone with an interest in the bizarre.
