The Middleman season 1 episode 2, titled "The Accidental Occidental Conception," follows protagonist Wendy Watson, also known as "Dub-Dub," as she navigates her new career as a sidekick to the titular Middleman. In this episode, Wendy and the Middleman are tasked with investigating a string of mysterious pregnancies in a Chinese restaurant chain's female employees. The pregnancies, which seem to have occurred without the women having sexual contact, have caused quite a stir and the Middleman has been called in to get to the bottom of the situation.
As they begin their investigation, Wendy and the Middleman discover that the women have all been impregnated by a supernatural being known as a Silk Spider. The Silk Spider is a creature that can impregnate a woman simply by kissing her on the mouth, and although the pregnancies are not physically harmful to the women, they are causing a great deal of confusion and panic.
Throughout the course of the episode, Wendy and the Middleman must track down the Silk Spider and stop him from impregnating any more women. Their investigation takes them on a wild ride that includes a confrontation with a rival sideshow gang and a visit to a mysterious warehouse filled with strange artifacts and supernatural creatures.
As Wendy and the Middleman work to solve the mystery, they must also confront their own personal demons. Wendy is struggling with self-doubt and a lack of confidence in her abilities as a sidekick, while the Middleman is wrestling with feelings of loneliness and a sense of disconnect from the world around him.
The episode concludes with Wendy and the Middleman successfully defeating the Silk Spider and putting an end to the mysterious pregnancies. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about teamwork, trust, and the importance of standing up for what is right. Ultimately, "The Accidental Occidental Conception" is a thrilling and entertaining installment in The Middleman's first season, showcasing the wit, charm, and action-packed adventure that make the series such a beloved cult classic.
