Wednesday Season 2 Finale Explained: Ophelia’s Return, Enid’s Alpha Twist and What’s Next in Season 3

by

The conclusion of Wednesday Season 2 left viewers with significant surprises, mind-blowing disclosures, and numerous uncertainties regarding the future exploits of Wednesday Addams and her companions. Co-creators Al Gough and Miles Millar have verified that these suspenseful moments were strategically orchestrated to pave the way for Wednesday Season 3, which they describe as the “darkest chapter in the Addams family’s history” so far.

Aunt Ophelia’s return changes everything

One significant disclosure unfolds as Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) uncovers that her long-thought-dead Aunt Ophelia Frump is still alive. In the concluding scene, Ophelia is depicted confined within Grandmama Hester’s (Joanna Lumley) basement, scribbling “Wednesday shall meet her demise” on the wall. Gough elucidated that this twist was intentionally designed to surprise viewers at the end of the season, serving as a catalyst for Season 3.

Millar stated, “Ophelia has been absent for quite some time now. This absence has created a void in Morticia’s life and raised numerous unresolved questions. The return of Ophelia is expected to impact this family forcefully, much like an explosion.” Catherine Zeta-Jones, portraying Morticia, disclosed emotional scenes with Ortega as Morticia hands over Ophelia’s journal to Wednesday, symbolizing trust and development in their bond. Ortega expressed, “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have explored this mother-daughter dynamic with someone as exceptional as Catherine.

Enid’s Alpha Werewolf transformation

In the second season, Enid Sinclair (portrayed by Emma Myers) experiences a significant turn of events. By the finale, she metamorphoses into an alpha werewolf, a seldom and dreaded variation. As Myers put it, “Enid struggles to belong…Now she may have to grapple with being a solitary figure once more.” Millar hinted at this becoming a significant issue in Season 3: “Viewers should feel apprehensive for Enid’s wellbeing.

Enid’s choice to change for the sake of saving Wednesday underscores the deep bond between them. According to Millar, “The core essence of the series lies in the strength of female friendships and camaraderie.

Here’s what happened to Tyler and Thing

In the final episode, Tyler Galpin (played by Hunter Doohan) experiences heartache. He discovers that his mother Francoise intends to take away his Hyde powers, leading to an accident where he unintentionally takes her life. As the series concludes, Tyler consents to join a secret group of Hydes led by teacher Isadora Capri (Billie Piper).

It was unveiled as a significant revelation that The Thing was actually created from Isaac Night’s hand originally. Millar expressed their intention to delve into The Thing’s origin story and astonish the audience. In the end, The Thing triumphs over Isaac and decides to stay with the Addams family for good.

As I eagerly anticipate the return of Ophelia, the unfolding destiny of Enid, and the unclear journey that awaits Tyler in Season 3, it seems our days at Nevermore Academy may be filled with even deeper trials. Hinting at the mysteries that lie ahead, Gough poses a thought-provoking question: “Could anything truly last forever within these walls?
