Season 2, Episode 7: Woe me the Money

Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card


This episode opens with a flashback to the formation of the cult sub-plot. Not sure if it’s a B or C plot-line since the A plot-line, much like Wednesday’s premonition switched in part 2 season. So Dort is behind it all and his master to plan was to steal Hester Frump’s fortune and while she herself is not an Addams, she is part of the family and a villain trying to take money from an Addams is basically the plots of both the 90s money, so it tracks.

Wednesday and Her Woefully Wacky Wednesday

Season 2, Episode 6: Woe Thyself 


Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card

There is a lot happening in the episode but that seems par for the course this season, so many plots. And yet despite the many plot points that unfold, one element of this episodes eclipses the rest. 

So first point, I was completely and “woefully” wrong about Tyler. Tyler’s place in the story didn’t end with him and his mother, Francoise, being reunited and leaving town. No, instead, she’s now his new master and unhinged because she’s a hyde. Also being a hyde is killing her, which apparently it just does as general rule of being a hyde.

Season 2, Episode 4: If these Woes Could Talk 

Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card

Preface: This have been gnawing at me, the one-eyed crow is giving the one-eyed turkey from Bob’s Burger’s. Also Wednesday shall go down in history for the one who didn’t close a door, unlike Davinci who shall go down in history as the man who opened a door. 

Episode four serve a large scale crescendo ending in cliffhanger to close out part one of season two. Love them or hate Netflix loves their two part season method. So a lot happens here. 

First some good points…

Wednesday goes to Camp Woe-be-Here

Season 2, Episode 3: Call of the Woe

Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card


As the tile of this episode suggests, this a camp episode. The inclusion of which doesn’t distant the show from the 90s movies, maybe they don’t really want to.  However this episode is the exact same step-up as season one’s episode three where Wednesday uses a school outing as cover to investigate a separate location. As well as the outing  pitting “normies” and outcast against each other, though this one is more organized than the bullies of season one .

Season 2, Episode 2: The Devil you Woe 

Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card

So we got a lot of plots going on. Mostly this episode consists of Wednesday on another creepy murder case which is more necessitated by prophesy rather than Wednesday’s sense of morbid curiosity.  

So Wednesday’s old buddy old Pal disgraced Sheriff Galpin has been murder by a murder of crows, which the Wednesday defiantly remarks on. Also with all the crow imaginary I can’t help but be reminded of another show that Netflix preemptively canceled but I digress.

Season 2, Episode 1: Here We Woe again

Title Card, Netflix Season 2 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Season 2 Title Card

Much like Season 1, Season 2 opens with a preamble, a cold open if you will. Wednesday takes down a cold case serial killer with the use of her psychic powers that she has mostly master aside for some black goth tears. This opening does seem like a misdirect for the trailer but it’s fine and the TSA sun-screen gag was at least amusing, felt akin to Addams’ family humor.

The final episode wraps up the Hyde plot which Wednesday quickly figures out in full off-screen. Tyler’s Palpatine to his Vader is Marilyn Thronhill a.k.a Laurel Gates a.k.a. normal-type botany teacher. Laurel’s revenge plot is to resurrect Crackstone to get revenge on Nevermore for taking his land which he took from Goody Addams’ people and the indigenous population. Thronhill isn’t really motivated by the loss of her family, just a century’s old land dispute.

Season 1, Episode 6: Quid Pro Woe 

Title Card, Netflix 2022 Season 1 series Wednesday
Wednesday’s Title Card


In the previous episode Wednesday is told that only Goody can train her and that she’s a Raven type psychic vision-haver-type-outcast person. Basically they are just making it up because Raven sounds cool and all “Poesque.” I had thought comparing Wednesday to a raven and Morticia to a dove was just poetic but no according to a promo for season two and Goody outright calling Wednesday “The raven in my bloodline” Wednesday is a raven.  So there is more Poe imaginary…. hooray…
