Billy hatches a giant spider.

At a father-and-son picnic, Billy re-encounters with his spider "son", Jeff, in a dirty bathroom. Once again, Jeff tries to make Billy love him as a true father does, but Billy remains terrified of all bugs. Mandy tells Jeff he is being too nice, and to get Billy's attention he needs to be meaner. After being coached by Mandy, Jeff finally snaps and ensnares Billy in his spider web, forcing Billy to say he loves him.

When Billy gets under his house's foundation, he encounters again his "son", Jeff the Spider, who has just laid eggs. Jeff tries to make things right with Billy so he can take care of the baby spiders, as he is going to die after the eggs hatch. Naturally terrified of seeing Jeff, Billy runs away and a wild car chase ensues. The eggs hatch, and Grim decides to refill Jeff's hourglass that represents his lifetime so he does not die and can continue to scare Billy.

When Billy's dad gets a promotion at his job, he tells his family they are going to move to another town, starting a dispute between Billy and Mandy over who gets custody of Grim. Grim suggests they settle this in court, and hours later Billy, Mandy and Grim find themselves in the Underworld court, presided by Judge Roy Spleen, and which has Fred Fredburger, an incorrigible dumb character, as a juror.

When General Skarr tries to get rid of a weed in his otherwise perfect garden, he asks Grim to use his scythe to do the job. Billy drives a lawnmower and ruins the garden; also, the scythe's magic accidentally shoots Skarr, transforming him into a plant-like creature. Using his new plant powers, Skarr rebuilds his garden, and tries to exact revenge on Billy by throwing a party, and attacking him. Skarr gets mulched by a helicopter rotor, but he is reborn as a small weed.

When Billy finds his "son" Jeff the Spider lying in his bed with "Spider Pox", he goes to Mandy for help to get rid of the giant spider. While ignoring Billy, the next morning Mandy awakens afflicted by Spider Pox too, developing four additional arms and the ability to produce spider web. Mandy's condition progresses and she completely turns into a giant spider, who captures Billy's parents and Grim. Grim tells Billy that, to cure Mandy, he must use the venom of the spider that infected her. While Billy successfully gives Mandy Jeff's venom, he also carried the virus and infected the people of the city, who have all turned into spiders.

On a rainy day, giant spiders appear in Billy and Mandy's school and start kidnapping the children one by one. Grim presumes this is somehow related to his past, but does not figure it out until he receives a message saying that Velma, the Spider Queen, an old good friend from high school, is responsible for it. Meanwhile, Billy meets with Jeff the Spider, who informs him that he is precisely marrying Velma. After trying to recover a talking carton of chocolate milk from Jeff, Billy and Jeff get into a fight, and Jeff looks angrier than ever before.
