Wednesday Season 2 acquired off to a robust begin, upping the horror parts and banishing Season 1’s pesky love triangle.
The season’s first 4 episodes additionally answered a few of our burning questions from the top of Season 1. Who’s Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) stalker? None apart from fangirl Agnes DeMille (Evie Templeton). Who’s Nevermore’s new principal? The spirited Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi). Would Hyde Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) return? Sure, even breaking out of Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital by the top of Season 2, Half 1.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Half 1 evaluation: Does extra macabre means extra enjoyable?
Nevertheless, regardless of gifting all these solutions, Wednesday Season 2, Half 1 nonetheless left us with a number of extra inquiries to ponder. (As any good thriller ought to.) In order we put together for the month-long wait till Half 2, let’s check out the ten largest questions we’ve going into the ultimate episodes of Wednesday Season 2.
Is Enid truly going to die?

Wednesday acquired a horrifying imaginative and prescient of her roommate Enid Sinclair’s (Emma Myers) demise in Wednesday Season 2’s very first episode, and since then we have been ready on pins and needles (a punishment I am certain Wednesday would love inflicting on her enemies) to see if that imaginative and prescient would come true. To date, so good. By the top of Half 1, Enid is alive and kicking.
Nevertheless, issues do not look so good for her heading into Half 2.
Keep in mind, in episode 2, Wednesday visited Tyler within the Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital, the place he vowed that he’d homicide Enid the subsequent time he noticed her. On the time, that menace appeared pretty low-level provided that Tyler was imprisoned in a really safe cell. Nevertheless, on the finish of episode 4, he is managed to flee — and Enid is first on his kill checklist. Issues aren’t trying good for Nevermore’s bubbliest werewolf.
Will Wednesday get her psychic powers again?

After spending an entire summer season honing her psychic talents, Wednesday loses her powers after seeing a imaginative and prescient of Enid’s demise. She believes she will be able to get them again by re-examining Goody’s spellbook, however there’s one large drawback there: Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has burned it.
Will Wednesday take the lack of the ebook as a chance to attempt to discover a psychic to information her? Or will she proceed to push herself and drive herself to insanity, like her Aunt Ophelia? Talking of…
Did Wednesday free Ophelia from Willow Hill?

All season-long, Morticia has talked about her youthful sister Ophelia: How she went mad from her psychic visions, how she was despatched to Willow Hill by their mom, and the way she’s been lacking for 20 years. However what if she wasn’t actually lacking? What if, throughout her time at Willow Hill, she was forcibly introduced into LOIS (Lengthy-term Outcast Integration Examine)? Willow Hill faked all the opposite topics’ deaths, so it stands to cause they’d faux a disappearance too.
With that in thoughts, I am pretty certain that the final LOIS topic Wednesday frees from Willow Hill (performed by Frances O’Connor) is definitely Ophelia. First, she appears to be within the appropriate age vary. Second, Wednesday takes nice pains to separate her from the opposite LOIS topics. She does not attempt to kill LOIS mastermind Judi Stonehurst (Heather Matarazzo) — as a substitute, she sticks by Wednesday’s facet as they attempt to make their escape. Was this asylum escape additionally a twisted household reunion? Solely within the Addams Household.

All through Wednesday Season 2, Half 1, Principal Dort has been on a one-man mission to get Morticia’s mom Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) to donate to Nevermore. And look, I get it. I’ve seen Completely Fabulous, I perceive the fan girling over Lumley. However why on the planet is Dort so hellbent on securing her donation specifically? Is it simply because she’s actually, actually wealthy? Or is there a darker cause why he is concentrating on her?
What’s actually happening with the Nevermore gala fundraiser?

Whereas we’re with regards to Dort and his fundraising ways, why is he so invested on this fundraiser, to the purpose that he blackmails teen siren Bianca Barclay (Pleasure Sunday)? One thing shadier is occurring right here past simply attempting to lift cash for the Nevermore gala, and I’ll want Half 2 to inform us precisely what it’s, stat.
Who was Principal Dort speaking to on the cellphone?

I am not performed with Dort simply but, as a result of that man is ringing all of the alarm bells! On high of blackmailing Bianca, Nevermore’s principal has one other suspicious second in episode 4, when Bianca and Ajax (Georgie Farmer) overhear him on the cellphone in his workplace telling somebody: “I’ve at all times had your again, you’ve got at all times had mine. So loosen up. I’ve by no means been extra assured about something. I’ve it underneath management.”
You might have what underneath management, Dort? The varsity, or some darkish secret venture? Let’s throw some loopy theories on the market. I am going to begin. Possibly he is in cahoots with Judi, and, like her, is a Normie who acquired Outcast powers by way of the LOIS program. Possibly he infiltrated the college to seek out new Outcast take a look at topics, and the gala is a strategy to collect them multi functional place. I am onto you, Barry! I may not be appropriate, however I know one thing is up!
The place does Bianca’s mom match into all this?

An attention-grabbing subplot of those first 4 episodes has been the arrival of Bianca’s mom Gabrielle (Gracy Goldman) in Jericho after the Morning Tune cult was shut down. As of the top of Half 1, cult chief Gideon Sterling is on the run from the FBI. We do not have lots of particulars on what befell the cult or why Gabrielle fled, however now that she’s stashed away in an outdated classroom at Nevermore, this is hoping we get some extra info on her plight quickly.
What occurs when Slurp is absolutely de-zombified?

Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez) began his time at Nevermore with a bang — or ought to I say, a zap. The youngest Addams resurrected the corpse of a former Nevermore pupil and acquired his personal private zombie in Slurp (Owen Painter).
Nevertheless, the extra Slurp eats (each of Nevermore’s cafeteria thriller meat and human brains), the much less zombified he will get, till he is even capable of speak throughout the large Willow Hill jail break sequence. On the fee he is going, he’ll be again to human very quickly — so what on the planet will occur then?
We do know, based on Ajax’s ghost story in episode 1, “The Story of the Cranium Tree,” that Slurp was buried within the actual spot because the protagonist: the boy who invented a mechanical coronary heart for himself after which grew as much as change into considered one of Nevermore Academy’s brightest minds — although his ambition led to his demise there. Will we be taught extra when Slurp’s mind completes?
The place is Woman Gaga in Wednesday Season 2?
Netflix had already introduced that Woman Gaga would solely be showing in Wednesday Season 2, Half 2, however that does not make her absence right here sting any much less. She’ll be taking part in Nevermore instructor Rosaline Rotwood, who by some means is not round for any of the mayhem of the primary half of the season. I am certain she’ll ship come Half 2 although, and perhaps we’ll even be blessed by a Woman Gaga needle drop. (I am pondering “Zombieboy” for a Slurp scene, clearly.)
As reported by Selection, Woman Gaga can even be releasing a brand new tune, titled “Useless Dance,” tied to the discharge of Half 2. New banger incoming! And maybe we’ll get a brand new iconic Wednesday dance scene to associate with it? In any case, Wednesday’s dance in Season 1, initially set to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” discovered viral fame on-line when set to a sped-up model of Woman Gaga’s “Bloody Mary.”
The place the heck is Cousin Itt?
This query harkens again to our Season 1 query round-up, however it bears repeating. To date, Wednesday Season 2 has given the complete Addams Household, together with Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), much more to do. It is also launched new faces in Grandmama Hester and doubtlessly Ophelia.
However one legendary Addams is lacking, and that is Cousin Itt! The place is that this magnificent hairball, and when will he be swooshing onto our screens? If not inside the subsequent few episodes, we will maintain our fingers crossed for him to pop up within the already-announced Season 3. Come on, Wednesday, we want Itt!
Wednesday Season 2 Half 1 is now streaming on Netflix. Half 2 premieres Sept. 3.
