Season 1, Episode 9: Black Widow: Femme Fatale or Shy Introvert?

The black widow isn’t a cartoon villain—and she’s not coming for you. She’s an introverted, venomous roommate with incredible silk tech and a wildly misunderstood love life. Dr. Kate Martin separates myth from reality: where widows live, how they hunt, why bites happen, what pesticides change in their world, and why their venom is a research tool, not a morality play.
