Wednesday - S02E06 - Woe Thyself

Wednesday
Season 2 – Episode 6
Episode title: Woe Thyself
Original release date: September 3, 2025

Tyler and Françoise reunite with Isaac, who is Françoise’s brother. Isaac tells Françoise he can remove her Hyde and save her. Wednesday attempts to regain her psychic abilities by using a charm from the gravestone of former Nevermore professor Rosaline Rotwood, but is interrupted by Enid. Both of them lose consciousness and wake up in their dorm room, having switched bodies. They each struggle to adjust to each other’s personalities. To cure Françoise, Isaac removes the power supply he invented from the mechanism that keeps alive Professor Orloff, a disembodied head, then eats his brain. An invisible Agnes sees him doing this, follows the family to Willow Hill, and warns Enid and Wednesday. As Isaac prepares to cure Françoise, Wednesday, Enid, and Agnes arrive and sabotage the process. Tyler attempts to attack them but is stopped by Wednesday as Enid’s wolf-self. Wednesday and Enid return to Rotwood’s grave where they reveal what they learned about each other, allowing them to return to their own bodies. Weems ominously tells Wednesday that she prevented Enid’s death, but it is now an Addams who will die.

[effervescent, upbeat pop music continues]

[BLACKPINK continue singing in Korean]

[song trails off]

[Enid] Admit it. This is the Wednesday Addams you didn’t know you needed.

[jauntily macabre intro music playing]

[intro trails off]

[dour music playing] I warned you about Tyler coming.

I told you to cancel the remembrance procession.

What’s your part in all of this?

I lured Tyler away from the ceremony.

Wednesday had a plan to control him.

It did not go well.

My plan was unfolding with the precision of a Swiss watch.

Until that second Hyde showed up and smashed the watch.

[Dort] Two Hydes?

You’re dismissed.

The second monster, who the hell’s that?

Francoise Galpin, Tyler’s mother.

She’s been dead for 15 years.

I was at her funeral.

Augustus Stonehurst faked Francoise’s death.

He was experimenting on her and others in the basement of Willow Hill.

His daughter Judi never wanted you to find out.

[Santiago] Judi’s been reported missing.

Wow.

Why am I only hearing about this now?

Francoise and Tyler are gone, with no plans to return to Jericho.

Francoise gave me her word, and I believe her.

[Santiago scoffs] Hmm.

Sounds like our problem solved itself.

I should arrest you right here for aiding and abetting a murderer.

I make no apologies for my actions.

You ordered your deputies to abandon the school so they could save Normies at Pilgrim World.

Leaving Outcasts to fend for themselves? How do you think the press will take that?

[Dort] Luckily, no one got hurt, but in an abundance of caution I am mandating a schoolwide curfew.

Our gala is around the corner. So why don’t we all just take the win?

Wherever there’s murder and mayhem, you’ll always find an Addams.

With corpse bells on.

[jarring music building]

[music swells]

[slow clapping] Bravo, Miss Addams.

You managed to release not one, but two Hydes from the asylum.

I was hoping once Day of the Dead was over, you would sashay back into the afterlife.

I don’t sashay.

Ever.

Are the Galpins still in Jericho?

Now I’m adding bloodhound to my resume?

You’re my spirit guide.

How about some actual guidance?

I can tell you your vision hasn’t changed.

Enid still dies, and you are still responsible.

What do I need to do?

Finally, some positive engagement.

[exhales] Your psychic ability isn’t just inherited.

It’s intricately tied to your familial bonds.

The escalating and unresolved tension with your mother is what’s disrupting your power.

That’s absurd.

The Addams family lineage has always drawn strength from the unity of its members.

Like it or not, you are part of that spiritual heritage.

But that strength demands emotional clarity.

I don’t need to deal with any emotions, and I don’t need to cater to my mother’s maudlin need to insert herself into my life.

Your lack of empathy is what makes you the weak link, spiritually speaking.

I’m the only link that matters.

Leave Tyler and Francoise to the authorities.

Focus on fixing the relationship with your mother.

Miss Addams, who are you talking to?

Professor, did you ever teach Francoise Galpin?

[gulps] She was Francoise Night in those days.

But science didn’t hold her interest, unlike her brother.

Francoise had a brother?

Isaac.

He was the most brilliant DaVinci I’ve ever met.

I owe him my life.

He designed this lifesupport system for me.

You two must have been close.

Ha. Ha!

Isaac didn’t care about people, but he loved to play God.

You said DaVincis loved Augustus Stonehurst.

Was Isaac one of his students?

Stonehurst was his mentor.

He built Isaac that secret lab at Iago Tower.

They were thick as thieves.

Until the night the lab exploded.

What happened to Isaac?

His body was never found.

Some say he ran away, others… that he’s buried under the Skull Tree.

That’s just an urban legend, but you’re welcome to try and dig him up.

[tense, jittery music playing] I’m running a special on the answers for TudorPole’s math quiz.

How much?

Five bucks. Guaranteed A, or your money back.

[music halts] Store’s closed.

Everybody out.

[students grumbling] Your zombie. When’s the last time you saw him?

You know my waterboard is in my closet.

Right next to her skeletons.

[threatening music rises, fades] I saw him at Pilgrim World, okay?

But Slurp’s gone now. For good.

His name is Isaac Night.

Isaac Night?

And how do you know he’s gone?

I might have let him go.

Don’t tell Dad.

I kind of lied to him.

What a bold move for somebody who has no poker face.

You think he knows?

Dig up everything you can find on Isaac Night.

He’s just trying to live his life now that he’s got a second chance.

Your heart is as soft as your skull.

Can your pea brain remember anything else?

He dropped this.

[unsettling music playing] He’s looking for his sister.

[music trails off] Hey.

You sleep well?

I’m really here.

Your father built this place after you were born.

He wanted some place close to keep you safe in case I, uh…

Well, you know.

I remember your funeral like it was yesterday.

Dr. Stonehurst lied to your father.

To everybody.

[metallic rattling] You don’t trust me?

You unleashed your Hyde last night.

That’s something you just don’t recover from overnight.

It… It was because you didn’t have a master.

So you’re my master now?

Mmhmm.

Well, you must be hungry.

[coughing violently] Do you want some, uh, pancakes?

They were always your favorite, right?

I’m not a kid anymore, so stop trying to placate me.

[grunts]

[Tyler groans] Never raise your voice to me again.

Now I’m… I’m going to make you those pancakes.

Sweetie.

You okay?

Yeah. Sorry.

Just didn’t sleep very much.

[sighs] You did just face off with a Hyde.

Yeah. I’m sure that’s it.

[phone chiming, buzzing] Your mom again?

[sighs]

[Enid] She’s been calling a lot recently.

Family drama back home. I’ll call her later.

You know you can talk to me about that stuff.

Some things words can’t fix.

[gentle music playing]

[Capri clears throat] Professor Capri. I was just checking on Enid.

I’m sure Enid’s lips are fine.

You know boys aren’t allowed in the girls’ dorm solo.

Want to tell me what happened last night?

I know. We should have told somebody about the Hyde.

No. Not that. What happened after.

In the music room.

[sighs softly] I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Enid, you transformed into a werewolf.

Without a full moon. I saw you.

[delicate, introspective music playing] Enid, it’s okay.

It… It means you could be an Alpha.

[Enid gasps] Wait. Me?

We don’t know, but look at the facts.

You’re a late bloomer.

The first time you wolfed out was under a blood moon, correct?

Those are all classic signs of a potential Alpha.

They’re the strongest of our kind. Very rare.

If you are one, we have to manage it.

[phone buzzing] But don’t Alphas normally end up alone?

Sorry. One minute. It’s Principal Dort.

We’re implementing a new curfew.

After dinner, everyone’s confined to their rooms.

Anyone fails to comply, barred… from the gala…

Oh, Enid.

Don’t worry.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about Alphas becoming lone wolves, but as long as we get this under control, there’s nothing to worry about.

Okay?

[music growing fearful]

[breathing shakily]

[music trails off] Pull.

[Hester] Wednesday.

What brings you all this way on such a dreadful day?

I need help restoring my psychic ability.

The last time I intervened, your mother burned that spell book.

Yes, but you’re a Raven.

You must know another way.

Pull.

Every now and then, I crank up my psychic sight so I can spy on old enemies.

Just a few flashes of their suffering. Usually brightens my mood.

You stopped using it after what happened to Aunt Ophelia.

Is that what your mother told you?

Doves can be so emotional, always living in the past and wallowing in their feelings.

I made a choice to leave all that behind.

Women like us can’t be burdened by family.

We forge our own path, dig our own grave.

This is one of the Hydes I accidentally released at Willow Hill.

I need to find her.

[suspicious music playing] Have you ever come across the name Rosaline Rotwood?

Professor Rotwood was a legendary Raven.

She taught runes and ancient cryptology during my time at Nevermore.

I was an amateur tomb raider, so I took to that class like a leech to blood.

In fact, your parents are slumming in her old cottage.

She used to hold secret soirées in her seance chamber.

She may have served stale sherry, but her psychic sight was extraordinary.

What does this have to do with my situation?

Rotwood is buried in the Nevermore graveyard.

Her headstone is imbued with her dark energy.

If a Raven recites the inscription etched underneath, you will be granted temporary sight.

Thank you, Grandmama.

I’m the last person to offer advice, and you’re the last person to accept any, but… proceed with caution, my dear.

Pull.

[bird squawks] Aw.

Oh, there you are.

Dort turned dinner into a campus safety TED talk.

Ugh, I had to escape.

Where are you charging off to?

The Nevermore graveyard.

Hello? Curfew!

If you’re not back, the entire dorm is gonna be barred from the gala.

You may have dropped out of the orchestra, but I’ve been rehearsing my dance routine for weeks.

I’m not cowering away in the room while Tyler and his mother are out there.

I’m going to find them.

How exactly?

That’s on a needtoknow basis. After last night, you don’t need to know.

Did it ever occur to you that we’re all just trying our best?

Trying your best means you’re planning on failing and letting me know in advance.

The fact that you can be so arrogant and still make so many bad decisions is staggering.

How was I supposed to know that Tyler’s mother was still alive?

You weren’t! That’s the whole point.

Your arsonistslashfirefighter complex is right there in black and white.

You unleash chaos just so you can stamp it out and then feel superior.

You think you’re powerful now because you finally wolfed out?

[breathing tremulously] You have no idea what I’m capable of.

Now who sounds arrogant?

Have you ever put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see how they felt?

My shoes are filled with broken glass and razor blades.

You’d bleed out after two steps.

[somber, melancholy music playing]

[chilling music builds] Capri’s going housetohouse doing dorm checks?

How long until she gets up here?

That’s barely enough time to make it to the graveyard and back.

I am not missing that gala!

I will literally drag Wednesday back by her braids if I have to!

[dour, foreboding music playing]

[Wednesday] “In the Raven’s shadow, grant me use of your ephemeral sight.”

“Be warned. Should my gaze be broken, a deadly trick I will play.”

[chanting in Latin]

[harrowing music spikes]

[gasp echoing] How dare you enter my chamber uninvited?

I’m a Raven.

One whose wings have been clipped.

My grandmother told me that if I read the inscription on your grave, you would grant me second sight.

[chuckles] Hester.

So desperate for my approval.

But she never had what it took to be a truly great Raven.

She craved a family so badly, she fell head over heels with a huckster.

I sense none of that sentimentality in you.

No. The crack in your monochrome armor is overbearing arrogance.

You positively reek of the stuff.

Tyler and Francoise Galpin.

I need to find them.

There’s no time to waste. A life hangs in the balance.

What are you willing to endure to excavate the truth?

Hold your hand over the flame, and your psychic sight will be temporarily renewed.

But beware.

If you pull your palm from the flame, you will break the Raven’s gaze, and… there will be a price to pay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Enid, faintly] Wednesday, where are you?

[Enid, echoing] Wednesday!

We have to go back!

[Rotwood] There will be a price to pay.

[both exhale] No.

No, no, no, no, no.

[shrieking]

[Wednesday] Enid?

What the hell happened to me?

[morbidly intriguing music playing] Why am I staring at… me?

Because we’ve somehow swapped bodies.

I don’t understand.

We were at the graveyard, and now we’re here, and now it’s morning.

How the hell did that happen?

You broke the Raven’s gaze.

Now it’s playing a dirty trick.

How do we swap back?

You always think you’re the smartest person in the room.

I’ll let you figure that one out.

Wednesday?

Who are you talking to?

Obviously, it’s me. Keep up.

Okay, whatever you did, you need to fix it. Right frickin’ now!

None of this would’ve happened if you’d left me alone.

You’re seriously blaming me?

[Enid whimpers] I feel so cold and uncomfortable.

It’s probably your factory setting.

And I’m warm and clammy.

Werewolves run hot.

We’re hotblooded creatures.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Watching my body contort to your emotional outbursts is making me queasy.

Nobody can see us like this, okay?

We’ll pretend we have a contagious disease, and say we need to be quarantined.

[wry musical flourish] You are not walking out this door.

I’m going back to Rotwood’s grave.

Wednesday?

I’m scared.

You will get your body back.

Promise?

[whimpers]

[Enid] What are we gonna do?

We tell absolutely no one.

This must remain our secret.

You need to stay away from Bruno.

And you must avoid my family at all costs.

Especially my mother.

We got this, right?

I mean, how hard is it to act like Wednesday Addams?

[droll, macabre music playing]

[Bianca] Enid!

Over here. Saved you a seat.

Coming, guys!

[wry, perplexing music playing] Get coffee. Sit alone.

Stay out of trouble.

I’ll be back soon.

Hmm.

Your braids are fire, Elise.

And those shoes are a vibe, Sophia.

Way to go, you little psycho.

I was just delivering your morning coffee like I always do.

You do?

I mean…

Right. Of course.

I haven’t been able to locate Isaac Night’s student files yet.

Who’s Isaac Night?

Pugsley’s zombie.

[gasps] Duh! Right. I’m clearly suffering from extreme caffeine deprivation.

A rainbow furracino with an extra squirt of steak sauce, please.

[quizzical musical flourish]

[dryly] I can tattoo my order on your forehead if that would help.

I thought you were allergic to color.

I mean, I just say that to keep up the whole tragic loner, goth girl aesthetic.

I’ll catch you later. Or never.

[quirky music playing]

[serene notes playing]

[gulps, sighs in satisfaction]

[suspenseful music pulsing] Whoa, whoa. Enid, wait.

It’s me.

[dour music playing] You said you loved it when I surprised you.

Try again and I’ll treat you to some real pain and suffering.

[slurping loudly]

[tense music playing]

[gasps] This is insane!

I was actually allergic to color.

Wednesday.

[shakily] I kinda can’t talk right now.

Oh, dear.

I haven’t seen your skin break out like that since Pugsley colored the inside of your favorite death mask.

Hmm. I have just the remedy.

[dour, uneasy music playing] Wow!

This cream is amazing.

What’s in it?

Beeswax, stinging nettles, and ash.

Ash?

Scraped from the bottom of a crematorium furnace.

One of your grand mama’s beauty secrets.

Although it does give your skin that wonderful corpselike glow.

Well…

Thanks, Mom.

Mom?

That’s new.

Hmm. Something’s different about you today.

I can see it in your eyes.

It’s like your spirit is lighter.

Well, I’m just trying to embrace my inevitable decay with a touch of enthusiasm.

Why didn’t you take your umbra mushroom pills?

You know you run the risk of an allergic reaction if you skip a day.

Oh. Right.

My prescription ran out.

Well, luckily, I stopped by the apothecary and picked up your refill.

This will clear it right up.

Got it. Bye.

Since you’re turning over a dead leaf…

[gasps] Perhaps you’d like to come for family dinner at the cottage tonight?

[chuckling] Oh.

Uh, tonight’s not great for me.

Pugsley’s coming over.

And your father’s up from the city, and you know how much family dinners cool his heart.

I would love to come, Mom.

I mean, Mother.

But I can’t.

Principal Dort just issued a curfew.

Well, I’ve already spoken to him, and he’s given you and Pugsley a pass for tonight.

Isn’t that wonderful?

Lurch will pick you up at 7:00.

Don’t be late.

[cheekily distraught music playing]

[groans]

[stifled screaming]

[grimly determined music playing]

[Weems] Once again, you have wandered into uncharted territory.

Can’t say I didn’t warn you.

Fine.

How do I undo this?

I haven’t the foggiest.

But given my penchant for meticulous research, I did discover that two other Ravens had the audacity to embark on this foolhardy endeavor before you.

What happened to them?

They were both dead within 24 hours.

Bravo, Miss Addams.

It appears you’ll be responsible for Enid’s premature death after all.

As well as your own.

[harrowing music intensifies]

[music trails off]

[forlorn music playing]

[Isaac scoffs] Ready for another one, sweetie?

Mmm.

Good?

Yeah.

Like it?

Better than I remember.

[Francoise chuckles]

[rapping at door] No, it can’t be. It’s impossible.

Francoise…

Is that any way to greet your brother?

You died.

I held you.

In my arms.

Put the gun down.

Do you remember the Fourth of July?

Dad caught you with that Normie kid.

Dylan.

He slapped you so hard.

It was louder than the fireworks.

That was the first time you transformed.

[Francoise sobs softly] I’ve spent my life dreaming of this moment.

Praying that I would see you again.

Tyler, this is your Uncle Isaac.

[Francoise] Mmm.

[chilling music playing] Hello.

Tyler.

Nice to meet you.

[coughs uncontrollably] What’s wrong?

[Francoise breathes heavily] It’s our condition.

Being a Hyde.

I’ve lived longer than most.

[Isaac] I could still help you.

It was always my dream.

To slay the monster inside you.

I only need the right equipment.

Resources.

Dr. Stonehurst stole your diaries.

And he’s built a version of your machine at Willow Hill.

But he perverted it to give our abilities to Normies.

His daughter Judi, she’s carrying on his research.

She’s been hunting me.

Well, Judi… retired.

Permanently.

[Francoise laughing] If that machine exists, I can save you.

[Tyler] You can’t be serious.

You want to go back to Willow Hill? The place we all just escaped from?

[Isaac] Yes, I do.

But, first, I need to visit an old friend… at Nevermore.

[cello cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” playing]

[Wednesday stops playing] Enid?

Why didn’t you tell me you played?

I only do it when I need to think.

Sounds like you’re channeling your inner Wednesday.

You have no idea.

We need to talk about your situation.

My situation?

Denial isn’t going to change it.

And there are added risks for a potential Alpha in their first lunar cycle.

Alpha.

Right.

Better get to the Lupin cages before sundown. Just play it safe.

I know you’re worried about being a lone wolf, but we need to know what we’re dealing with first.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Wednesday] This is Rosaline Rotwood.

[Capri] Professor Orloff said she used to teach in this room back in the day…

And lived in my mother’s cottage.

[Capri] What?

[Wednesday] I mean, Mrs. Addams.

In fact, I promised I would drop by for tea this afternoon.

I’m already running late.

[Capri] Make it quick.

I want you locked in the Lupin cages by sundown.

Mother…

Mrs. Addams?

[fixture clinks] How could my mother read this drivel?

[disembodied voice whispering] Wednesday…

[jarring stinger] Reckless child.

Tell me how I can break this curse.

To reclaim your own flesh you must be willing to die in this borrowed skin.

You have until dawn to unravel the innermost secrets of the life you’ve stepped into.

[Morticia] Enid Sinclair.

What are you doing in here snooping around?

How dare you?

Mrs. Addams.

These books…

Did you write these?

That’s none of your business.

It’s just Wednesday’s never mentioned it.

Well, there are many parts of my life I don’t share with my daughter, and I’d like to keep it that way.

Wednesday put you up to this, didn’t she?

Hmm? Is this another attempt to regain her ability?

Snooping around Rotwood’s musty seance chamber?

You can tell Wednesday we’ll discuss this at dinner tonight.

You can go now.

[Enid] I barely survived a conversation with Mrs. Addams.

She’ll see right through me. You need to come.

You’re going to a support group?

“Some of your parts. We help make you feel whole again.”

If anyone knows what it feels like to not feel whole today, it’s me.

[determined sigh] Well, if I have to go, I need to find some Addams intel.

Wednesday’s novel.

How bad can it be?

[Enid humming] Evelyn. [chuckles] That’s the character who’s based off me, right?

“A trendchasing, rainbowloving, social media addict, whose… tastes in clothes and music are a heinous assault on culture”?

“Despite her Lupin abilities, Evelyn is feeble in both body and mind, requiring… Viper’s pity and protection.”

Is this really how Wednesday feels about me?

[aching, distraught music playing]

[bold, determined music playing] That’s it!

If Wednesday wants a heinous assault… she’s about to get one.

[“Boombayah” by BLACKPINK playing]

♪ BLACKPINK in your area ♪

[BLACKPINK singing in Korean] Hi!

What the hell is going on here?

Looks like Wednesday Addams has finally cracked?

[shrieking]

[Enid] It’s worse than last time!

[restrained seething]

[speaking in Tagalog] Need to hang up now, my love.

[phone bleeps]

[ominous music playing] Enid. Hey.

I was just talking to my mom in the Philippines.

You and your mother are awfully close.

[in Tagalog] “I miss you.”

“I miss our walks along the beach.”

“I miss your sweet lips most of all.”

[in English] Or was that your girlfriend you failed to mention in an act of timehonored, misogynistic deception?

How do you know Tagalog?

I picked it up when I was eight from Datu, my Filipino fencing instructor.

He also taught me how to castrate with a bolo knife.

I was going to tell you, but it’s complicated.

Then let me uncomplicate it. We’re done.

[in Tagalog] Never talk to me again, you duplicitous Lothario.

[in English] Was that clear enough for you?

Enid! Lupin cages, now!

You’re late.

I can’t go. It’s a matter of life or death.

It could be your life or death if you don’t. Come on, come on.

[sighs] Hmm.

[Enid laughs]

[Enid whimpering in video] So worth it.

Why are you on Enid’s side of the room?

It’s none of your business.

What do you want?

As someone who’s spent hours obsessively studying you, I know something’s wrong.

Terribly wrong.

Your Kpop dance in the Link was clearly a cry for help.

I’m guessing it’s PTSD from your coma.

Or maybe even a brain tumor.

I’m fine, Agnes.

There’s no need for concern.

You know I prefer to zig when others zag.

[phone bleeps]

[Enid chuckles] When did you get a phone?

[Enid] Uh…

It’s Enid’s.

She left it behind.

Huh.

No electronics in the Lupin cages.

It’s probably smart.

No one wants their wolfing out pics going viral.

Why would she be in the Lupin cages?

There’s not a full moon.

Capri stuck her in there. Right after she broke up with Bruno.

Dumped that dumb dog like yesterday’s kitty litter.

She broke up with Bruno?

Why?

Tell me right now, you creepy little creeper!

Why do you care about her overheated YA werewolf drama?

If Enid knew you were trying to keep her from dying, then she might have something to howl about.

What do you mean, try to keep her from dying?

Your premonition… of course.

[Enid] Oh…

I can’t believe she would do this to me.

I’m starting to think Enid is the problem.

Your obsession with saving her has caused you to crack.

Oof.

Who can blame you?

Living with a clueless, boycrazy cliché like Enid Sinclair.

It’s enough to put anyone in a straitjacket.

Maybe it’s time to cut her off.

Like a bad finger.

I’m certainly more than ready to be best friends with you.

You don’t know anything about me.

You’re just a sycophantic loser that I use when it’s convenient.

But we’re not friends.

I don’t even like you.

In fact, I wish you would just stay invisible.

Forever!

[door opens]

[breathing unevenly]

[Orloff] As you may have heard, Lisa is no longer in our group.

She’s been reunited with her torso.

We all support her decision.

But remember, we are whole, just the way we are.

[Agnes] Excuse me, I…

Sorry to interrupt.

I know I’m not technically a body part, but… the sign said, “All are welcome.”

And they are.

So please, share whatever’s on your mind.

I thought at Nevermore, I would finally be seen.

[gentle, aching music playing] Have real friends.

But the truth is, I feel more invisible than ever.

We want you to know that we all see you, Agnes.

Make yourself at home.

We have another newbie.

Welcome, Thing.

What would you like to share with the group?

You don’t have any idea where you came from?

When you were found by the Addams family, the only clue to your past was a silver signet ring.

Well, you’re fortunate to have people who care about you.

We may never know who we were attached to.

You can’t see yourself as an appendage, but as a whole person, worthy of love and respect.

We are more than just the sum of our parts.

But sometimes, the parts are greater than the whole.

[Morticia gasps]

[Gomez] Yes!

Bravo, Lurch.

You have outdone yourself.

[Gomez] Mmhmm.

[Enid stifling gag reflex]

[cheeky, eccentric music playing]

[Morticia] Delicious.

[Lurch growls] Mmm.

Ooh, wow.

Yes.

[disgusted yelp] Remind me what this is again?

Darling, don’t you recognize your favorite family dish?

Roadkill pot pie.

[Morticia] Mmhmm.

Of course.

Yum!

What’s in it?

[Gomez] Possum.

Little guy ran out right in front of us.

Lurch backed up over it twice.

Tenderized it. Ooh, yeah.

He also added a little leftover raccoon, which gives that special woodsy flavor you adore.

[weakly] Mmm.

[glass clinking]

[Lurch groans] Now that we’re all here together, it’s time for a serious discussion.

Your father and I have tried to instill our family values in you children.

But we draw the line on lying.

I thought you said lying was an important life skill.

Yes, like in business, politics, jury duty… that’s a big one.

You two have been lying to us.

And I’ll give you one chance to confess.

There’s still a punishment, right?

Of course. Don’t be silly.

I lied to you about Slurp.

I saw him at Pilgrim World, and I let him go.

I’m really sorry, Pop.

So, um… do I get the rack or iron maiden?

We’ll flip for it.

Come on. Let’s go.

Please excuse us.

You ladies enjoy dinner.

Earlier, I caught Enid in Rosaline Rotwood’s secret seance chamber.

Any idea why she was snooping?

None, actually.

Hmm.

I see that bewildered look in your eyes.

It’s the same look I noticed this morning.

[Enid whimpers] And now it makes sense.

Your obsession for getting your ability back has finally made you lose your mind.

What?

But don’t worry.

I will have Lurch make up the guest room.

No, that… that… that really isn’t necessary.

I sense your presence again. Show yourself.

I demand it.

You’re still as insufferably bossy as you were in 10th grade.

Larissa?

Who’s Larissa?

Shh!

Morticia, it’s good to see you.

Oh, I just remembered. I…

Sit down.

I am Wednesday’s new spirit guide.

Wait.

If you’re her guide, why can’t she see you?

[Weems] At your beloved mother’s suggestion, Wednesday attempted to gain temporary second sight at Rosaline Rotwood’s headstone.

That’s why she dispatched Enid to search for answers in Rotwood’s seance chamber.

Except that wasn’t Enid.

It was Wednesday.

Enid?

Is that you in there?

Where’s Wednesday?

Locked in the Lupin cages until the morning.

It’ll be too late.

They only have until dawn to set this right.

We can’t help them, Morticia.

They have to save themselves.

Mrs. Addams, I…

You must free Wednesday and fix this together before dawn.

That’s your only chance.

[grim, distressing music playing]

[wheels buzzing]

[Isaac] I hope I’m not late for the meeting.

Hello, Professor.

[shocked gasp] Don’t you recognize your star student?

It can’t be.

Isaac Night disappeared 30 years ago.

Correction, Professor. I died 30 years ago.

Never underestimate the power of science.

Isn’t that what you told me?

Science has nothing to do with it.

You’re a perversion of nature.

Says the talking head in a jar.

But you’re only alive… because of me.

[chilling music playing] My invention has given you 30 years of borrowed time.

[gears whirring frantically] And now I’ve come to collect.

Isaac! Don’t!

No! Stop!

Isaac!

[energy crackles]

[Orloff straining] Don’t worry, Professor.

I wouldn’t let such a great mind go to waste.

[chilling music intensifies]

[wet crunching, smacking in distance]

[shrieks]

[jarring stinger]

[breathing shakily]

[Isaac chuckles]

[Francoise] Mmm.

What is that?

A power source for the machine at Willow Hill.

Since their whole electrical system was fried.

[bird cawing in distance]

[sinister music playing]

[whispers] Tyler.

Check outside.

[faint thud]

[jolting stinger]

[gasps softly] Okay?

It’s nothing.

Okay.

Seat belts.

Tyler.

Your little creeper told me about your vision of my death.

Thanks for the trust.

I also know that if we don’t switch back by dawn, we’re both going to die.

And I am not checking out looking like this.

[phone buzzing]

[Enid huffs]

[phone bleeps]

[Agnes] Wednesday… I know we currently aren’t friends, but I found them.

I found Tyler Galpin and Isaac Night.

I took a leaf out of your detecting playbook.

I’m currently hiding in their trunk along with a very… very dead body.

At least somebody stayed on task.

Agnes, are you insane? Get the hell out of there!

No.

It’s too late.

Sharing my location with you now.

[phone beeping] They’re headed to Willow Hill.

We need to switch back.

After we save Agnes and take down the Galpins.

[music fades]

[energy humming] I can finally keep that promise I made to you.

[Francoise, fondly] Hmm.

To free you from this horrible curse.

[Isaac] Here.

We have to secure you for the procedure.

Yeah.

You think being a Hyde is a curse?

It’s the most free I’ve ever felt.

[Francoise] That socalled freedom comes at a price.

Every transformation has a human cost.

Until it finally steals your life.

I designed this machine to remove Outcast abilities.

If I can take away your mother’s Hyde side, I can stop her from dying.

[phone bleeps]

[faint clink in distance] Someone else is here.

[Isaac] Uh…

[Agnes gasps] Little snoop is one of Wednesday’s friends.

What do you want me to do with her?

Put her in a cell.

I’ll need a snack once I’m done.

[Agnes straining] This way! The lab is through that door.

[Agnes pants] Ah!

[Isaac hums softly]

[Tyler] Make yourself at home.

We can deal with that Nevermore brat later.

[Isaac] Ready, Francoise?

[machinery humming] Wednesday!

[door opens] Look who showed up.

Don’t forget about me.

[Tyler grunts]

[Wednesday] Leave her alone!

No full moon to save you…

[Tyler grunts]

[panting]

[chains rattling]

[Agnes] Wednesday?

You need to calm down or you’re gonna wolf out.

Too late. Get out!

[flesh distending, bones cracking]

[Wednesday groaning]

[machinery whirring intensifying]

[Isaac sputtering]

[exhales] Wednesday.

[forceful pounding]

[pounding continues]

[heroic music swelling]

[Wednesday snarling] Tyler, no!

Wednesday? Wednesday!

Wednesday, we have to go now!

[uncontrollable whirring]

[heightened, suspenseful music playing] Let’s go!

[Francoise] Go! Gotta get out of here!

[music trails off] Are you okay?

[breathing heavily]

[delicate, emotional music playing] Thank you for saving my life.

I just asked myself, “What would Enid do?”

So you guys did swap bodies. I knew something was up.

You’ve been acting really weird all day.

And you just called her Wednesday back there, so… we’re still friends.

Well, don’t worry. It’s okay. It’s really hard for me too.

But we’ll get used to this whole new look together.

Not if I can help it. Agnes, go back to Nevermore.

Um…

Where are we going?

[grim, imposing music playing] Now what?

Rotwood said we had to unravel the innermost secrets of the lives we stepped into.

[scoffs] Fine.

I’ll go first.

You know what I love about being Wednesday?

Your fearlessness.

Except when it comes to your mom. But… I get it.

[sighs] She can be a lot.

You’re afraid she’ll never accept you for who you truly are.

That your darkness is even too much for her to grasp.

You’ll become the disappointment she’ll never want to speak of.

Just like your aunt.

I can feel it in your bones.

That’s why you push her away.

But maybe she has more to teach you than you think.

[introspective music playing] The best thing about being Enid is your quiet strength.

You think being an Alpha will mean you’ll be alone.

I won’t let that happen.

You need to stop trying so hard for people who don’t deserve it.

Like Bruno, who mistook your kindness for weakness.

It’s not.

It’s your power.

Which I could barely handle for one night.

[chuckles softly]

[emotional music building] I regret ever underestimating you.

[emotional music swells]

[music trails off] Oh my God.

Wednesday!

We’re alive!

I feel so warm and fuzzy!

And I feel as cold as a cadaver.

Which means I’m me and you’re you! Ah!

[jolting stinger] Enid.

Why don’t you go back to the dorm and get changed?

I’ll be right behind you.

Good idea. I could seriously use a bubble bath.

[moody, uneasy music playing] The premonition of Enid’s imminent death is no more.

So why the dour face?

Your actions today have put another life at risk.

Follow me.

[birds cawing]

[Weems] An Addams must die.

The question is… which one?

[moody music intensifying]

[music trails off]

[jauntily macabre outro music playing]
