\n\tSPOILER ALERT:\u00a0This story contains spoilers for Season 2 of \u201cWednesday<\/a>,\u201d now streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter more than a few near-death experiences, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) came out of Season 2 triumphant \u2014 mostly.<\/p>\n

\n\tBy the finale of Season 2, Wednesday had identified her newest foes to be Francoise Galpin (Frances O\u2019Connor) and Isaac Night (Owen Painter), the mother and uncle, respectively, of Season 1 monster Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). Like Tyler, Francoise is a Hyde, and Isaac is the fully regenerated version of Slurp, Pugsley\u2019s (Isaac Ordonez) pet zombie from earlier episodes. Together with Tyler, Francoise and Isaac kidnap Pugsley, planning to use his ability to generate electricity to power a machine to save Francoise. Her monstrous transformations are killing her, and the device Isaac invented will take her powers away and give her her health back.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis isn\u2019t Francoise and Isaac\u2019s first attempt at the procedure. Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) reveals to Wednesday and Hester (Joanna Lumley) that Isaac tried to carry out this same experiment as a student at Nevermore, using Gomez (Luis Guzm\u00e1n) as the electricity source. (Before hearing this, Wednesday and Hester both thought Gomez had never had powers.) Morticia, however, disrupted the process by chopping off Isaac\u2019s hand, leading the machine to blow up and kill Isaac. Gomez and Morticia buried him, but kept his disembodied hand, which eventually became Thing (Victor Dorobantu).<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday first tries to save Pugsley from Isaac\u2019s clutches by positioning Thing out of sight, ready to shoot. But Isaac catches Thing\u2019s dart, then reattaches Thing to his arm and buries Wednesday alive. Agnes (Evie Templeton) and Enid (Emma Myers) manage to dig her up, but Enid endangers herself in the process. She has just learned that alpha wolves risk remaining in their wolf form forever when they transform under a full moon, but she has no other choice to keep her friend alive. After \u201cwolfing out\u201d and saving Wednesday, she flees.<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday then infiltrates Isaac and Francoise\u2019s operation. They have bonded Pugsley to their machine and, surprisingly, put Tyler into the other end instead of Francoise. Against his will, they aim to rid Tyler of his powers so that that he doesn\u2019t suffer the same fate at Francoise, who says her condition has progressed too far for her to be saved. Wednesday approaches Tyler with an axe, but instead of killing him, she releases him from the machine. He enters his monster form and battles his mother before she falls to her death from Nevermore\u2019s roof. Wednesday then rescues Pugsley as Gomez and Morticia arrive, but before the family can properly reunite, Isaac snatches Wednesday into his telekinetic grip, choking her. Luckily, the family calls out to Thing, who regains his autonomy and turns against the rest of Isaac\u2019s body, pulling out his heart and saving the Addams family.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe resolution to Season 2 is satisfying, but it still brings up more uncertainties than it answers. Here are the most burning questions we have about what may be coming in \u201cWednesday\u201d Season 3.<\/p>\n

\t\tWhy did Wednesday save Tyler?\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Tyler was strapped to Isaac\u2019s machine, Wednesday had the chance to kill him once and for all. Instead, she freed him. Chaos ensues, with Tyler and Francoise entering their hyde forms and Pugsley still trapped in the machine, so there isn\u2019t time to dwell on her decision. But it\u2019s an interesting one: Before this, Wednesday has shown no capacity to empathize with the circumstances that led Tyler to manipulate her and murder so many others. Yes, she once had a fledgling romance with him, but that was before his lies were revealed, and she\u2019s hated him ever since. So why has she had a change of heart now? And what will the consequences be?<\/p>\n

\t\tWhat will happen to Enid?\t<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter witnessing Enid enter her werewolf form without a full moon present, Miss Capri (Billie Piper) explains to her that she might be an alpha. That makes her incredibly powerful, but overall, it\u2019s scary news. If an alpha wolfs out under a full moon, they get stuck in that form forever and are doomed to be hunted and killed by their fellow werewolves. Enid\u2019s primary fear upon hearing the news is that she\u2019ll be alone forever, but there\u2019s a silver lining in that Wednesday promises to come find her if the worst does happen.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Wednesday is buried alive by Isaac, Enid and Agnes can\u2019t dig up the dirt quickly enough to save her until Enid decides to transform, unable to let her friend die. As a wolf, Enid excavates Wednesday and then sprints off into the night. After saving Pugsley from Isaac, Francoise and Tyler, Wednesday sets off with Fester (Fred Armisen) and Thing to spend her summer searching for Enid. She has a head start: Agnes got photos from wildlife camera that located her near the Canadian border.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut what happens when Wednesday finds Enid? Are we totally sure she\u2019s an alpha? Capri did only say that she \u201cmight\u201d be, and we saw Enid wolf out under a full moon and return to normal in Season 1 \u2014 but maybe that was different since it was her first time. If she is indeed an alpha, is she truly stuck in her wolf form forever? That seems hard to believe, especially with Emma Myers, who plays Enid\u2019s human form, being such a big part of \u201cWednesday.\u201d Maybe there\u2019s some ancient outcast text that Wednesday can consult to undo everything and bring her friend back. <\/p>\n

\t\tWhere is Miss Capri taking Tyler?\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was clear from the moment she was introduced that Miss Capri had a big secret. She didn\u2019t turn out to be involved in any of the wrongdoing at Willow Hill, but Wednesday discovers by snooping in her desk that she does have a past with hydes. She once fell in love with one, and he nearly killed her. But there\u2019s more to the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Season 2 finale, Capri finds Tyler standing at his parents\u2019 grave. With Thornhill (Christina Ricci) and Francoise both dead, he doesn\u2019t have much time left; as Capri told Wednesday earlier in the season, male hydes can\u2019t survive long without a master. But she offers Tyler an alternative to his impending doom, some kind of secret community she can take him to where hydes transcend the need for a master. Suspicions arisen, Tyler asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s in it for you?\u201d Then Capri reveals that her father was a hyde.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhere are these hiding hydes? And how has Capri worked around their condition to keep them alive? Was she lying to Tyler when she said she didn\u2019t want to be his master, or are her motives really altruistic? Even if she is doing a good deed here, is Tyler ready to accept that or will he take advantage of her kindness?<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWednesday\u201d co-creator Alfred Gough said in an interview with Variety<\/a> after the release of Part 1 that \u201csome\u201d of the goodness Tyler showed before he was revealed as the hyde was genuine. So if Capri means what she says, maybe he\u2019ll get the chance to redeem himself and atone for the harm he\u2019s done to Nevermore, Jericho and the Addams family. But he\u2019s also very vulnerable. It wouldn\u2019t be hard for him to turn back onto a dark path.<\/p>\n

\t\tWhat\u2019s going on with Hester and Ophelia?\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWednesday\u201d has been mysterious about the whereabouts of Morticia\u2019s sister, Ophelia, for awhile now. Early in Season 2, Morticia tells Wednesday that Ophelia abused her psychic ability and that it drove her mad. Their mother, Hester, had her committed at Willow Hill, and Wednesday learns from Fester later that she escaped the asylum and hasn\u2019t been seen since.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Season 2 finale, we begin to get some answers. To make up for burning Goody Addams\u2019 (Ortega) spellbook and keeping so many secrets, Morticia gives Wednesday a journal that belonged to Ophelia as a gift. When she flips through it, she has her first psychic vision in a long time: a too-brief glimpse at the back of a blonde woman\u2019s head. She recognizes that it\u2019s Ophelia. But what Wednesday doesn\u2019t see is that Ophelia is sitting in a secret room of Hester\u2019s house, writing the words \u201cWEDNESDAY MUST DIE\u201d on the wall in big red letters.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat\u2019s Ophelia\u2019s beef with Wednesday? Does Hester want Wednesday dead too? If so, why? Hester did seem rather eager to have Wednesday come stay with her for the summer, and is far less touchy-feely about family than Morticia is, so there\u2019s a chance she\u2019s luring her in to kill her. At the same time, she does seem to have some modicum of affection for her granddaughter, and she didn\u2019t reappear in Wednesday\u2019s life until being summoned. Hopefully, Wednesday\u2019s grandmother will do something to protect her from whatever long-lost aunt is cooking up.<\/p>\n

\t\tWho will take over as principal of Nevermore?\t<\/p>\n

\n\tPrincipal Dort (Steve Buscemi) is ousted (and inadvertently killed) for his unethical fundraising tactics in the penultimate episode of Season 2, much to the delight of Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), who witnesses his downfall from beyond the grave as Wednesday\u2019s new spirit guide. \u201cThe board will now look back upon the Weems era with fondness,\u201d she gloats, adding, \u201cNevermore clearly needs a steady hand on the rudder, a leader of impeccable moral character.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWho fits that description is a mystery, though. It would be great to see Weems return for Season 3, but she departed as Wednesday\u2019s spirit guide in the finale and it doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019s coming back to life. Meanwhile, none of the teachers in Season 2 appear to be up for the job. Miss Capri is busy with Tyler, and Professor Orloff (Christopher Lloyd) was killed by Isaac. Perhaps Morticia could run the school, since she spent Season 2 as president of the school\u2019s gala fundraising committee and seems eager for an excuse to stay close to Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut it\u2019s more likely that the job will go to a new character in Season 3. Weems and Dort both led Nevermore with their own views of where outcasts belong in the world and how they should relate to normies, and both made major mistakes (though Dort\u2019s were obviously worse). It\u2019s time for someone with a new, more nuanced perspective.<\/p>\n

\t\tWill Wednesday\u2019s powers come back?\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was compelling to watch Wednesday get to the end of her investigation without her psychic ability to lean on for answers. At the same time, since the time she spent studying Goody Addams\u2019 spellbook took place over summer break (a.k.a. in between Seasons 1 and 2), we haven\u2019t gotten to see much of Wednesday at the height of her powers.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Wednesday\u2019s spirit guide, Weems reminds Wednesday that psychic abilities are ancestral, and that her estrangement from her mother was preventing her from getting her visions back. She and Morticia certainly made progress as they worked together to save Pugsley, with Morticia admitting she\u2019s kept too many secrets and Wednesday empathizing more with her mother\u2019s instinct to protect her. Wednesday is rewarded for that growth with the short vision she has of Ophelia, though she\u2019s a long road from the more detailed visions she used to have.<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, things with Morticia aren\u2019t warm and fuzzy yet, and more questions arise now that Ophelia has come into play. Ophelia is a family member too, so will her deadly hopes for her niece further tamper with Wednesday\u2019s ability? And even if Wednesday does properly master her ability this time, what will that look like? We\u2019ve heard from Morticia that psychic visions can\u2019t always be taken literally, so there will be complex mysteries to solve regardless. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT:\u00a0This story contains spoilers for Season 2 of \u201cWednesday,\u201d now streaming on Netflix.
