Wednesday Season 2: 10 Shocking Twists & Season 3 Teasers

Top 10 Shocking Twists in Wednesday Season 2 and Plans for Season 3

Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re looking at the most surprising, jaw-dropping reveals from Season 2 of Netflix’s “Wednesday.”

Spoilers ahead!

Wednesday’s Young Stalker

In the “Wednesday” season one finale, Ms. Addams departed Nevermore Academy with a new phone and an anonymous stalker. Fans theorized who it could be, like maybe Xavier Thorpe, her brief love interest, and the person who gave her the cell. Other suspects included a vengeful Laurel Gates, an unknown MorningSong cult member, or even a ghostly Larissa Weems. But it’s unlikely anyone expected the mysterious threats to come from a young student at Nevermore. In Season 2’s second episode, the stalker was revealed to be Agnes DeMille, a red-haired vanisher obsessed with Wednesday. By the end of the season, the little superstan’s wish came true. She’s now a part of Wednesday and Enid’s “pack.”

Gomez Lost His Power

In the series’ portrayal of the Addams Family, most of the kooky clan got a supernatural upgrade. Wednesday, Morticia, and Hester experience psychic visions, while Uncle Fester and Pugsley both have Electrokinesis. But the Addams patriarch was introduced as an outcast without any special abilities. When Morticia finally tells her daughter how she and Gomez are connected to Isaac Night, it’s revealed that Gomez once had Electrokinesis. However, he lost the ability during Isaac’s first attempt to cure his sister, Francoise, of her Hyde condition. It’s a shame he was stripped of his power, but Gomez Addams has always been an outcast through and through. No electricity necessary.

LOIS Isn’t a Person

After former Jericho sheriff Donovan Galpin and his friend, Carl Bradbury, are murdered, Wednesday takes over their investigation into Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. In his cabin, she finds his research, including Outcast obituaries and the name LOIS. Thinking she’s looking for someone named Lois, chief psychiatrist Dr. Fairburn was an early suspect. However, when Wednesday and Uncle go snooping at the hospital, they find that it’s not a staff member or patient, but actually a hidden project led by Normie Augustus Stonehearst. With LOIS, or Long-term Outcast Integration Study, the former physician, and later, patient, set out to replicate Outcast abilities to share with Normies. He had some patients declared deceased, keeping them locked up as ongoing experiments. They’re freed by the intrepid Addams duo, though eventually dispatched by Judi Stonehearst’s hitman.

Judi’s Avian Abilities

When Wednesday goes to visit Tyler at Willow Hill, she meets Dr. Fairburn’s executive assistant, Judi Spannagel. She’s colorful and cheery, quite a contrast to the chief psychiatrist’s reserved, somewhat suspicious demeanor. Wednesday doesn’t even pay her mind, let alone consider she could be her Avian tormentor. In her villain monologue, Judi reveals that she’s the Normie daughter of Augustus Stonehearst, who gained the ability to control birds through his LOIS program. When Galpin and Bradbury got too close to the truth, she sent her crows to eliminate them, and attempted the same with Wednesday Addams. Judi’s story ends in Episode 5, when she’s killed by Isaac Night. However, in the last moments of the season finale, the one-eyed crow was still around, suggesting maybe another Avian is spying on Wednesday…

Dort Founded MorningSong

In season one, we were introduced to Bianca Barclay’s mother, Gabrielle, also a siren. She made an unexpected appearance at the school on Parents’ Day and tried to get her daughter to return to MorningSong. This season, the cult’s compound was raided by the FBI, and Bianca focused on hiding her mom while Gideon is at large. Nevermore Academy’s new principal, Barry Dort, was sus from the start, manipulating Bianca into using her siren song on Morticia and Hester. But it was shocking to discover that he’s not only connected to the Barclays, but he founded MorningSong, and appointed actor/bartender Arnold Hunt, aka Gideon Sterling, to be the charming frontman. Dort eventually fired Gideon, just before he faced his own crumbling downfall.

Alpha Enid

Throughout “Wednesday” season one, teen werewolf Enid Sinclair struggled with being a late bloomer when it came to wolfing out. In the finale, she finally transformed, just in time to save her new bestie. Over the summer, Enid became more confident and joined a pack. She learns in Season 2 that she could be a specific type of werewolf. Ms. Capri, also a werewolf, sees her wolf out on a night with no full moon, a troubling sign that she could be an Alpha. According to the show’s lore, it’s possible an Alpha can’t change back into human form, and becomes so powerful and solitary that they’re hunted by other werewolves. Enid’s quick decision to transform in order to save Wednesday sets up what’s in store for Season 3.

Wednesday Spares Tyler

Since meeting in season one, Wednesday Addams and Tyler Galpin have had an interesting relationship. He even ended up being her first kiss…which then revealed his true nature as a Hyde. The season 2 finale sees his mother and unhinged uncle try to forcibly remove his Hyde power. Instead of killing him, Wednesday cuts him free, which some fans interpret as an act of love. However, letting him go was partially a strategic move, leaving Tyler to handle his mom and allowing Wednesday to save her brother. Either way, he ended the season as a lone Hyde without a master, family, or friends. But Nevermore music teacher and werewolf, Isadora Capri, offered to take him to a community of Hydes.

Slurp’s Real Identity

This season, Pugsley Addams joined his big sister at Nevermore to be among other kids like him. Putting him in a dorm with Eugene Ottinger seemed like a great idea, but being one of the school’s saviors made the Swarmer arrogant and uninterested in befriending his new roommate. After hearing the story of the brilliant Nevermore student who built himself a mechanical heart, Pugsley visits the skull tree, believed to be his final resting place. He accidentally shocks the deceased back to life and keeps the zombie as his friend/pet, Slurp. Multiple casualties later, Slurp has become more recognizably human, enough that Gomez realizes it’s his old roommate and would-be killer, Isaac Night, who has a much bigger role in the season than viewers could’ve predicted.

Ophelia Is Alive

The character Ophelia Frump has been a member of the Addams Family in various interpretations, usually only appearing briefly or in the background. Since we heard about her in the first episode of Season 2, we thought we might get to meet her before the credits rolled in episode 8. Well, that’s sort of what happened in the finale, except she was only shown from the back, likely because it’s a role yet to be cast. But not only was she still alive, she’d been locked away by her mother, Hester. Whether her scrawling “Wednesday Must Die” on the wall was a warning of her niece’s impending doom, or a threat against her life, Ophelia will be a welcome and intriguing addition to season 3.

Thing Origins

Out of all the crazy plot points in “Wednesday” Season 2, it’s safe to say the most shocking twist was the reveal of Thing’s origins. When DaVinci student Isaac Night attempted to use his roommate and friend, Gomez, as an extra dose of electricity for his machine, an axe-wielding Morticia cut off his right hand. The machine explodes, killing him in the process, and the young couple buried him in the grave he dug for Gomez. In all the chaos, Isaac’s right hand was reanimated and became the loyal companion we know as Thing. In the end, the appendage takes Isaac down, tears himself from the body, and rejoins his Addams Family.
