One or two or possibly more?

Hi. Please help me with these.

1. Did he use two hands to shake the other person's hand (or perhaps the other person's hands)?

He came and shook his hands with me.

2. Does the phrase "the expected" denote one thing (perhaps one event) or two or more things (or perhaps two or more events)? Perhaps would you say the context would whether it means one or two or possibly more?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Then one day they were hit by the unexpected.
