Wednesday
Season 2 starts strong, with horror elements and answers to burning questions from Season 1. Agnes DeMille is Wednesday’s stalker, and Barry Dort is the new principal. Despite providing answers, Part 1 leaves us with more questions, including Enid’s fate and Wednesday’s psychic powers.
Is Enid actually going to die?
Enid is alive at the end of Part 1, but faces danger in Part 2 from Hyde Tyler Galpin.
Will Wednesday get her psychic powers back?
Wednesday loses her powers and faces challenges in retrieving them.
Did Wednesday free Ophelia from Willow Hill?
Morticia’s sister Ophelia may not be missing, but part of an asylum study.
Why is Principal Dort so obsessed with Morticia’s mother?
Principal Dort’s fixation on Hester Frump raises questions.
What’s really going on with the Nevermore gala fundraiser?
The fundraiser at Nevermore has hidden motives that need to be revealed in Part 2.
Who was Principal Dort talking to on the phone?
What is Dort up to?
I’m not done with Dort just yet, because that man is ringing all the alarm bells! On top of blackmailing Bianca, Nevermore’s principal has another suspicious moment in episode 4, when Bianca and Ajax (Georgie Farmer) overhear him on the phone in his office telling someone: “I’ve always had your back, you’ve always had mine. So relax. I’ve never been more confident about anything. I have it under control.”
You have what under control, Dort? The school, or some dark secret project? Let’s throw some crazy theories out there. I’ll start. Maybe he’s in cahoots with Judi, and, like her, is a Normie who received Outcast powers through the LOIS program. Maybe he infiltrated the school to find new Outcast test subjects, and the gala is a way to gather them all in one place. I’m onto you, Barry! I might not be correct, but I know something is up!
Where does Bianca’s mother fit into all this?
An interesting subplot of these first four episodes has been the arrival of Bianca’s mother Gabrielle (Gracy Goldman) in Jericho after the Morning Song cult was shut down. As of the end of Part 1, cult leader Gideon Sterling is on the run from the FBI. We don’t have a lot of details on what befell the cult or why Gabrielle fled, but now that she’s stashed away in an old classroom at Nevermore, here’s hoping we get some more information on her plight soon.
What happens when Slurp is fully de-zombified?
Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez) started his time at Nevermore with a bang — or should I say, a zap. The youngest Addams resurrected the corpse of a former Nevermore student and got his own personal zombie in Slurp (Owen Painter).

However, the more Slurp eats (both of Nevermore’s cafeteria mystery meat and human brains), the less zombified he gets, until he’s even able to talk during the big Willow Hill prison break sequence. At the rate he’s going, he’ll be back to human in no time — so what in the world will happen then?
We do know, according to Ajax’s ghost story in episode 1, “The Tale of the Skull Tree,” that Slurp was buried in the exact spot as the protagonist: the boy who invented a mechanical heart for himself and then grew up to become one of Nevermore Academy’s brightest minds — though his ambition led to his death there. Will we learn more when Slurp’s brain completes?
