Wednesday - season 1

Wednesday is really weird, but also not, because her desire to be herself and not be molded by her parents to be like them in everything is not so different from many other teenagers. She has a difficult relationship with her mother, feels judged by her. She will also confront her in the fifth episode, asking why was she sent to a place where she can never escape her mother’s shadow. We see that she’s not so different from all the other kids, outcasts or not: Enid, Bianca, Xavier, but also Tyler, they all have teenage problems with parents that can’t understand them or don’t have time for them or just want to use them… 

She has no remorse after she causes a boy injuries, but he was her brother’s bully. We do not actually see her hurting good guys, ever. 

Wednesday strong points is that she really has her own identity and doesn’t care to conform to the others, that she’s confident and independent…

But she also has negative points! She’s not only impulsive and impatient, as Weems says, she’s also reckless, insensitive, manipulative, but also she accuses people as soon as she’s just a small suspicions without waiting for real proof, she puts people in danger, she acts as if she was in charge of the whole investigation and everyone should do as she wants, as if they had to tell her everything, when really, think about it, she was just a 15 year-old girl who had no right to ask questions and who certainly shouldn’t be playing cop! Plus let’s face it, we like her and we love her, but she made a mess from the start, she caused more harm than good. Nobody will care because at the end she’ll win, but she caused more troubles than she has any idea of! 

I did not like their choice for Gomez, sorry but he was not right for the role. Not too keen on Morticia either, though, she’s too modern and cold. I like both actors, but this is not the Gomez I know, he was full of energy, an athlete, always moving and doing things, and a bit of a genius too.

1 - Wednesday’s child is full of woe.

It was nice, much more than a simple introduction as it often happens. We know Wednesday of course, who gets expelled (again) from a high school. It happened because after she found her brother Pugsley locked inside her locker, she went to the guys’ swimming pool where they were practicing water polo and threw piranhas in the water. A guy lost a testicle, and she was accused of attempted murder. This is what his mother was waiting for, and she’s soon brought to the Nevermore Academy, for special kids, we might say. There’s a bit of everything, they all have something different from normal humans. Her roommate Ened is very colorful and very joyful, but also sometimes sad because she’s a werewolves who can’t transform.

Wednesday does not get along with her parents, especially her mother. She feels like they want her to become like them, and she hates the very idea. Nevermore is the school where Morticia and Gomez met and fell in love, they were stars when they attended it. Wednesday is sure she’ll hate it and plans to escape as soon as possible. 

We’re told she’s allergic to colours, which explains her black and white clothes and why the school gave her a special uniform (all the others are blu and black, but hers has no blue). We also see that she has a gift, or something, sometimes when she touches people she can see things, past or future. I mean, she foreesees a man’s death, but with Pugsley she saw the faces of the kids that bullied him.

She’s told the queen of the school is a girl named Bianca, a siren, so she challenges her to a duel (well, sort of) and Bianca wins. Wednesday feels really bad about it.Rowan thanks her (although I’m not see why they think she did it to defend him, after Bianca sort of humiliated him, I think she just didn’t like Bianca’s attitude). 

The principal Larissa Weems was Morticia’s roommate and feels now in charge of making sure she does not escape.  Wednesday also has weekly visits with a therapist, court orders, and the therapist even seems like a good one. She read Wednesday’s books (who gave her her books? They’ve not been published, who has them?) and she read them and it’s really obvious that she wrote about herself, in a way, and her conflicting relationship with her mother. Still, they don’t talk a lot because Wednesday tries to escape, from the second floor window. She does get out, then she enters a cafe to order a coffee with ice… I’m not really sure why, actually, she was so set on having her order, how is that relevant to her being able to escape? She even fixed Tyler’s coffee machine (simply using a screwdriver, and a normal one at that; I might understand if it was a sonic one…), and then she beat up three thugs that didn’t want her there because they don’t like the freaks from Nevermore. Tyler promised he’d drive her out of town if she waited, but then Weems finds her and Tyler’s father the sheriff tells her that her father killed someone and therefore he’ll keep his eyes on her… Wait, what? Gomez wasn’t a murderer! It’s pretty obvious that the sheriff doesn’t like Nevermore with everything going on, even now there’s been three murders that were very gruesome, and it makes him think no normal human could do that, and no normal animal either.

Xavier saves her life when a stone gargoyle almost lends on her head, to repay her from saving his life when he was ten and playing hide and seek he thought it was a smart thing to hide inside a casket moments before it was cremated…

Towards the end, while she’s again trying to escape, again with the help of Tyler, she bumps into Rowan and sees his death, and this time she runs after him to warn him that he’s in danger, but he says it’s the other way around, she’s the one in danger because he has to kill her, because he found her image in a book: basically her mother was a seer, and she saw that that girl would destroy Nevermore, and told him he had to stop her, and now he’s obsessed about it, it was him who pushed the gargoyle on her.

Wednesday can’t really free herself from his power, but then a beast of some kind, a monster attacks him and kills him, but it just looks at her without attacking her.

At the end, her parents call her (it’s the end of the first week, I think) through their crystal ball, since Wednesday doesn’t own a phone. Thinking of everything that happened, she realises that at Nevermore things are really more interesting, and she might like it here for a little longer. 

The scene when she played the cello outside her window, it was visually beautiful. The colours, the window, the weather, it was really good. 

I really like the woman that came to welcome Wednesday to their dormitory, and brought her a black dahlia as a welcome gift, said she felt it was the right flower for her. I thought it was pretty well done, and Wednesday even said thank you.

2. Woe is the loneliest number.

Wednesday told Bianca about the attack before she fainted. Now there’s been searching all around, but Rowan’s body has not been found. She insists she saw a beast kill him, but then Rowan appears and all the school can see him. Still, he stays for a very short time, because the next day he leaves and refuses to talk to her. Wednesday has Thing follow him, which it does, but when ‘Rowan’ enters a restroom and a different-looking man exits, Thing does not follow by nose, it follows by eyes (it doesn’t have neither, but it always acts like it can see, doesn’t it? Otherwise how could it help Wednesday in anything?), and therefore loses him. We as the audience are the only one that can see that man changing into Weems. Now it’s clear. Bianca has no problem telling Wednesday thatshe did not call the ‘normal’ police first, no, she doesn’t trust normal people, she called Weems instead and had her deal with it, so we can guess that Weems took away the body to cover it up.

Wednesday overhears Bianca telling Xavier that Wednesday is not right for him, that she thinks she’s better than everyone, stuff like that. Bianca is competitive and manipulative, Xavier insists on the latter point, and is so sure she’ll win again the Poe tournament that Wednesday decides she’ll join and help Enid win just to beat her. And she does. She also has a vision of something…

In botany class, taught by adorable Ms Thornhill, Wednesday knows everything about it, much like Bianca, which irritates Bianca no end.

Later, Thornhill sees Wednesday in the library searching for something, and Wednesday does not hide what, and instead asks her about Belladonna, but the book she’s looking for is not there. Ms Thornhill tells her she has a gift of being always herself, and to never change. She feels sad that after almost two years at the academy, some teacher still don’t even say hello to her because she’s different, she’s one of the ‘normals’, which sucks because she can never fit in, too normal for the outcasts and too weird for the normals. I love her, she’s my favourite so far from the first moment I saw her.

Wednesday finds a symbol in the book page that Rowan gave her, the one where a drawing of herself depitcts her as the one who will destroy the school. It’s the symbol of an old students society called Belladonna, she starts investigating and finds a secret entrance behind Edgar Allan Poe’s statue that leads to a hidden library where she finds the book she was looking for, the one Rowan took the page from, and puts it in her bag, but she’s immediately captured.

3. Friend or woe.

The plot intensifies :lol:

Wednesday wataken by the Belladonna club, thoght closed for years, ever since a guy died (during the time Gomez and Morticia were at school I think). It is still going on, with all the elite students: Bianca, Xavier and others. Xavier proposes to let her in, Bianca doesn’t like it, but it’s Wednesday herself that doesn’t want to join their group.

When Wednesday shows Xavier the page torn from that book , he knows about it. In the book she finds the other page of the picture showing a man. Xavier knows who he is, Crackston (or something like that) the man who founded Gericho something lilke 400 years ago. 

There’s an outing, all students will go into town for a ceremony, a big statue of Crackston, and they’ll have the chance to visit Pilgrim World… At first it seemed a terrible thing to her, but now she wants to go to learn more about him. She also sees the girl from her vision, she calls her(the one that looks like her, but not in black). 

She helps Eugene against the town’s three bullies, then she keeps looking. She looks for the old place the Pilgrim used, and asks Tyler about its location. Xavier is jealous.

She finds te place, and since Thing insists, she starts touching things to see if she has a vision, and to her surprise she does. She sees her ancestor, Goodie Addams I think, being condemned as a witch by Crackston and the other virtuous townspeople. He locked her inside the building with a lot of other people,  and sets it on fire. The others are all chained to the floor, and her mother pleads for her to save herself. So she does. That was Crackston hating the outcasts and killing them off. Now Wednesday hates that new statue, and has Thing set it on fire. Of course Weems blames her.

Wednesday sends Enid where Ajax is, to spend their day in town, and she flirts all the time, but he doesn’t get it until she explains, bursting really, so he ‘asks her out’. He’s a Gorgon but she said she’s not afraid, after all it’s only temporary, but when he takes a shower, he accidentally looks at himself in the mirror and is petrified, meaning that Enid waits and waits and he never comes…

Wednesday sees the ‘monster’, and runs to follow his trail, and can see that after a while the beast footprints become human. 

 

4. Woe what a night.

There’s going to be a ball at the Nevermore school, one of those things where the girls ask the boys.

Wednesday is suspicious of Xavier and sneaks into his private studio to see that he kept painting the monster over and over. She finds him more interesting now. To hide the fact that she was spying and also to know him better since he might be the slayer, she asks him to the ball. We finally see him smile - he’s always brooding - but it’s really difficult for her to find and spit out the words :lol:

Enid asks the mayor’s son: they both want to make someone jealous, but they find they have fun together, because Enid likes kung fu movies and other ‘boy’ stuff. Some other girl ask Ajax, he did not explain to her why he didn’t meet her the other night as planned.

Wednesday meets Tyler in town andhe looks annoyed that she’s going with Xavier; she asks him why and he says that he doesn’t understand her, he thought she liked her… she doesn’t know how to react, and tells him that she has a lot going on, other priorities…

She goes back to Xavier’s study to find his dna, and she finds where he dubbed his blood after he was hurt: we know he can make his art ‘come out’ of the painting, and now he says that it hurt him. Usually he can control his power, but he says that he’s been dreaming of this thing for weeks now and can’t get it out of his head any other way. She interrogates him, he insists he is not a murderer. Now he understands why she asked him, he feels hurt and tells her to get out.

Now she has no date, and Eugene suggests going together, but she’s got a better idea. Since Eugene knows the cave that Xavier painted, she wants to go there together and explore.

Without her knowing, Thing writes a message to Tyler and brings it to him, so Tyler appears at her door the night of the ball as she’s about to go exploring with Eugene. She changes plans now and goes to the ball, ,wearing a beautiful black dress that Thing stole for her (I think). 

She tells Eugene that they’ll go together the next day, but Eugene goes anyway. He sees a man, a figure setting fire to the cave, and he runs away, but is found by the beast…

Xavier tells Wednesday that Tyler destroyed his murales, his mosaico the year before, and Tyler has no justification for this. They talk, they dance…

Wednesday even has a nice talk, a peaceful one with Bianca. She just left Xavier: the idiot asked her to use  her siren power to make him forget Wednesday, and of course Bianca got upset. Especially since he left her because he thought she was manipulated him… she also tells Wednesday that she also wasn’t sure of his feelings, if they were genuine or influenced somehow by her power. 

The mayor’s son’s plan was to ruin the night for everyone, but he was changing his mind after getting to know Enid (adorable Enid) and when his two friends arrive he tries to say that maybe they shouldn’t do it, but he doesn’t want to lose face and they go on with it, flooding the entire hall and everyone in it in what looks like blood, only it’s not thick at all; Wednesday tastes it and says it’s just colour, not blood.

Everybody runs, Weems screams, poor Thornhill was having such a nice night, the ball was a success and then it was ruined…

I don’t know how, Wednesday suddenly has a vision of Eugene in danger and she leaves right away to run looking for him. She runs and she calls, he calls back and she gets at his side, but he’s been hurt already. Thornhill appears to ask if he’s dead…

(Weems tells Thornhill that in her days, the boy she asked turned her down for another girl: Morticia)

5. You reap what you woe.

We hear that Eugene is not dead, just in a coma. When Wednesday will go see him at the hospital, she’ll meet his two moms. They say he was really happy to have her as a friend.

It’s  parents weekend, and not many kids are happy about that :lol: not that we know of at least: 

—Xavier’s dad couldn’t make it, again, he’s always too busy doing his things, being famous, to have time for his son.

—Bianca’s mother, unfortunately, came and is now here… Bianca looks terrified of seeing her there. They talk, and it appears her mom is in some kind of cult, and she uses her siren powers a lot, but now they’re weaving so she wants Bianca to use her own, powerful power. Bianca actually has another name, but she doesn’t like that, she wants to be Bianca and live her life free of her mother’s plots… her mom doesn’t really ask, though, she demands, and at the end Bianca tells her she’ll help her one last time, but only after the school year, and then she wants to have nothing more to do with then, ever again.

—Enid’s mother doesn’t seem able to accept her daughter as she is, she kept asking if she’s a full wolf now, and then she suggests lycanthropy summer camps to bring out the wolf… Enid bears it all with patience, but at the end tells her that she won’t go to any summer camp, she’ll make it on her own time.

Her father never speaks, but when he does, at least he has the right words, and tells her he’s proud of her.

—Wednesday… well: she confronts her mother for sending her to a school where she’ll never have a chance, because in her time Morticia was really popular and good in everything, and it’s a competition Wednesday can’t win.

Pugsley missed her.

The sheriff arrests Gomez: he’s been convinced of his guilt for years, and now he thinks he has proof in a note left by the coroner after he shot himself (yeah, what’s up with that? did he really kill himself? It feels really suspicious, he seemed glad that he was days from retirement and already planning trips with his wife…).

Gomez admits it, and he tells Wednesday that this Garrett guy was obsessed with Morticia, wouldn’t leave her alone, and that night he got crazy angry when he saw them together, and he attacked Gomez, who got beaten up a bit until he managed to get hold of Garrett’s sword and stab him… accidentally, then Garrett fell and Weems saw them.

Wednesday goes to her mom who says that Gomez wants to protect her, because that night Garrett looked out of his mind, inhuman, and in her desperation to stop the fight, she got hold of the sword, not Gomez…

Now Wednesday digs up the body, just enough to take a finger. It’s all blue, showing clear signs of belladonna poisoning, so Wednesday and Morticia confront the mayor. Wednesday saw it in a vision: Garrett’s father giving him a phial of poison, to kill everyone at Nevermore. He tu it in his shirt pocket, and it got smashed while they were fighting, poisoning him. The mayor knew about this, so now they force him to release Gomez. 

Wednesday then confronts Weems after seeing her picture in the school year book: she didn’t just make impressions, she turned into the other person, she’s a shapeshifter and she knows that Rowan is dead. Weems admits that Rowan’s family know it too, and they agree with her that it’s better to put a lid on the whole thing. Rowan was going crazy, he had already tried to kill Wednesday twice, this way at least he was stopped…

The sheriff told Wednesday that Garrett was not the only life lost: his mother took her own life, his father drunk himself to death or something, and the sister got sent away oversea and drowned or something… but that was far away, he can’t have seen the body, maybe this sister is still around seeking vengeance for her brother… or maybe full of hate for the outcasts like her father… although that’s not right, the beast has killed whoever, not just students at Nevermore. 

6. Quid pro woe.

Enid lures Wednesday out at Crackston’s cript, where she finds a surprise party for her birthday!! There’s a cake with Death on it, and there’s Xavier and Ajax… and who knows who else.

She finds in there the same words that were written in fire in front of the school. 

She keeps investigating, still suspecting Xavier, but also following every possible lead. After what Morticia told her, she tries to contact Goody Addams so that she may teach her how to control her powers,  but Goody tells her that sh’s a raven, she can’t be taught, or something like that. Goody shows her a place and tells her to find it. Xavier had a drawing of that same place, it’s Garrett Gates’ house. 

I’m not sure why, but the mayor is looking into Laure Gates’ files, and he goes looking at the house. Wednesday follows him and hides in his car when he goes to meet the sheriff to talk about the case. Before being mayor, he was the sheriff. But he can’t talk about anything because he’s run over by a car, under the eyes of both the sheriff and Wednesday. 

She tricks both Tyler and Enid into going with her, and they find that Laurel’s room appears to be lived in, with no dust and fresh flowers, and there’s the car that almost killed the mayor, and there’s also jars containing the pieces that were cut from the various victims. And there’s also the beast, that hurts Tyler and tries to kill Enid and Wednesday.

When they get back, Enid is very angry at her, because she used her to get out past Weems’ restrictions, not caring if she put her in danger, lying to her, generally not being a friend.

She leaves, saying she’ll be staying with a friend for a while.

We see that someone entered the hospital to kill the mayor for good.

7. If you don’t woe me by now.

The mayor is dead, they’re at the funeral. Wednesday sees a figure running and goes after him, and it’s Fester! Her uncle Fester, and for him she does smile! He’s wanted by the police, so she hides him at Eugene’s place, and forbids him to eat Eugene’s bees, since Eugene loves them.

After seeing a drawing of the beast, Fester knows it’s a Hyde. Weems already knew about the beast being a Hyde, but didn’t say anything to protect the school. Wednesday reacts as if she’s offended that an adult didn’t share all her knowledge about the murders with her fifteen year old student… (only now 16).

Sigh… really, Wednesday?

She spies on Xavier and sees him meet the therapist Kimbot, and thinks they’re doing it together, she thinks Kimbot is Laurel Gates, and that she’s using Xavier, luring out the Hyde with hipnosis or something and controlling it, or unleashing it… and she tells her this, she appears in her office when she shouldn’t, tells her she knows that she’s Laurel and guilty of the beast’s killings… and Kimbot tells her she’s really unwell and should be in an asylum or something, and even calls Weems to tell her this, when she hears noise and opening the door she’s attacked by the Hyde. She’s dead.

After hearing this, Wednesday says that she’s had enough now, and she leads the sheriff to Xavier’s study, where she finds stuff from Rowan, Eugene and Kimbot (at first I thought she planted it to put an end to it, but I think later she says that Tyler planted it) so the sheriff arrests him. 

Enid wanted to change room permanently and go stay with Yoko, and Wednesday never showed any sign that she’d like her to come back, but now she is back, with all her part of the room all colourful again, all pinks and purples, and Wednesday tells her there’s no need for any tape to separate their zones anymore. She says that they go well together after all, and that since she left the room has been ransacked and Think has been almost killed (Wednesday even cried a little, she found Thing stabbed to the wall and ran to Fester as fast as she could, and they saved it) so she’d better be back. 

Earlier on, Wednesday had accepted a date with Tyler, and he arranged for her a picnic in Crackston cript, and to scare her with a horror movie he made her watch Legally Blonde  :lol:

Then they almost kissed before the sheriff interrupted them, looking for Fester.

Now Wednesday goes to Tyler, thinking he’s the only one she can trust, and kisses him first, and while she’s kissing him she has a vision, and she sees that he’s the beast that attacked the therapist.

She runs away.

8. A murder of woes.

It starts with Wednesday meeting Tyler at the cript, he came because apparently Thing delivered a message from her. Now Wednesday tells him that she knows it’s him, that he’s the hyde, but he keeps denying it. She didn’t come alone, though. She has Bianca, Ajax, Kent, Divina? And one other girl I don’t know, as back up, and also because Bianca can use her siren power to make him obey, so she chains him inside Xavier’s studio. She’s very sure that he’s the Hyde because she saw him in that vision, but the other kids think they’ll just have to wait for him to transform… Wednesday though has other ideas, she wants to force him to transform, with ‘light torture’, she calls it: a taser (that she uses) plus a saw and a hammer, and those she’s not allowed to use, the kids are horrified and leave her alone and go to Weems who calls the sheriff. She’s not locked up on one condition: she’s explelled. 

And once again Wednesday is unbelievable, or well, maybe just acting as what she is, a kid: when Weems tells her that she should have come to her and they would have handled it together, Wednesday is resentful that Weems was never cooperative with her and didn’t always tell her the truth… 

She insists with Weems that she did it all alone, and Weems points out that for someone who says she doesn’t have friends or care for anyone, she’s quite protective of them.

We already believed Wednesday because her vision have never been wrong, that I know, but we also know that Tyler is conscious of it all now when he stops Wednesday to tell her “What does it feel like? To lose?” And we realise that if at first he didn’t remember and didn’t know, now he does, and he likes it.

After she’s told that she’s expelled, Wednesday goes to Xavier who is in chains, and tells him that she knows Tyler framed him and that he’s the hyde, because “I saw it in a vision when he kissed me”, really no tact at all this girl, as gentle as a sledgehammer… 

Now she wants his help, to know if he saw anything more about it, but it seems he’s had enough, finally, and he tells her “You ruined my life! I tried being your friend, look where that got me.” And also “every time you get involved, people get hurt. You’re toxic, all you ever do is make things worse” and then, when she shows him once again that old drawing, the one that Rowan thought meant that she’d destroy Nevermore, Xavier tells her that to stop all that she has to leave, that without her that won’t happen… and he was right, you know.

When they say goodbye, Wednesday tells Enid that she always thought having people to care about, friends, was a weakness, that she would have been disappointed sooner or later, but “turns out I’ve been the disappointment”. Enid tells her that Eugene woke up, so she asks Weems to stop at the hospital before getting on the train. Eugene tells her that the person who set fire to the cave, he’s pretty sure that they were wearing red boots. Wednesday thought it was Kimbott, but now she knows better. Kimbott never wore red boots, but Thornhill does. 

Wednesday comes back to face her, and when Tyler walks in I was totally sure that it was Weems, there was never any doubt. She shows herself only after everything is cleared, Thornhill basically confessed: at first she chained Tyler in the cave, then she taught stuff, and made him like dependent on her, and he became like a willing slave. 

I don’t like the next scene, did they really think that she’d come without a fight, that she’d yield gracefully, or something? That’s ridiculous! Was I the only one not surprised that she turned aggressive? She attacked Weems and injected her with Nightshade poison. 

I was sorry to see her die, and it was a stupid death too, she didn’t deserve such a stupid death.

Anyway, of course Thornhill kidnaps her. Eugene calls Enid to tell her everything,and then Thing comes to tell her about Weems and that Thornhill took Wednesday to Crackstone’s crypt… Eugene leaves the hospital because he says he has to help Wednesday, since she’s his only friend.

Thornhill, or Laurel Gates, shares her family’s hatred for the outcasts, but she chose a different path. She chose the supernatural approach, she found Goody’s Book of Shadows, and in it there’s a way to bring back the dead, that’s why she needed specific body parts from the people killed. For this ritual. She has six.

But Crackstone’s body is sealed with blood, and only Goody’s blood can open it… meaning Wednesday’s blood. 

So you see, without Wednesday here, nothing would have happened. Well, there would still be a hyde at her command, but not much else. Crackstone could never come back without her, but now that she’s here, Laurel cuts her palm to open the sarcophagus with her blood. Crackstone comes out, and Wednesday (who freed herself of the chains) stands to challenge him, the silly kid, but he has a staff with magical powers and she can’t move, and he stabs her to death. Goody appears to her, to tell her that Crackstone must be stabbed through his black heart, and that her necklace is a talisman, that it helps conjuring spirits, and “it will allow me to pass through you and heal you” … Goody will disappear forever, but she’ll be alive to save the school from Crackstone. (Btw, Goody is quite the corporeal spirit, she wrenches free the blade, out of Wednesday’s body, and she heals completely.

Enid and Ajax call Bianca, Davina and Kent (the ones in the Nightshade secret club…) to get all the students to safety before the school will burn…, and the three sirens will use their song to get everyone out.

When the sheriff is called to the school because of Eugene’s mom, he leaves Xavier chained in the car. Luckily for him, Thing comes to help him. 

Enid runs to the crypt thinking of her friend, and she transforms on the way for the first time. 

When Tyler intercepts Wednesday and turns into the hyde, and almost kills her, it’s the brave wolf with pink hair on her head that saves her. And Wednesday leaves her to fight alone while she runs towards the school. She almost dies, but the sheriff shoot Tyler. Not to kill, because it’s his son, but to stop him. Just one shot won’t stop him, but it helps Enid. She knocks him out and he turns back human, just like Enid. 

At school, almost everyone’s gone away. Wednesday takes the sword that Morticia used on Garrett (that’s the one, right?) but it breaks against Crackstone’s staff. Xavier tries to help her by throwing an arrow at him, but Crackstone turns it back, and Wednesday takes it for him, in her shoulder, but she just pulls it out, yells at Xavier to get everyone out and then fights him. With her sword broken, and against his powerful staff, she’s losign, but then Bianca stabs him from behind, giving her the chance to stab him through the heart, so he vanishes for good.

Laurel appears, she wants to at least kill Wednesday, but lots of bees appear and attack her, controlled by Eugene, and then Wednesday kicks her out of consciousness. I don’t know if she lives.

Outside the gates, everyone is waiting. Enid appears alone from the woods, all bloody, poor sweet thing, and the first hting she says is to ask about Wednesday, because she doesn’t see her, but then she appears, walking out with Bianca and Eugene. 

Enid runs to hug her, and for once, Wednesday finally stops deluding herself and hugs her back, they are friends.

Lurch comes to take all her stuff. She finishes her book and says her goodbyes. Classes are cancelled for the rest of the semester, and Enid invites her to San Francisco. Xavier gives her a smartphone as a gift, they are friends again because she took an arrow for him. I’m glad he didn’t apologise for what he said before, or stuff like that, because he was right, but after what she did they are friends again. He’ll be happy with a text from time to time.

While Lurch is driving her away, her phone rings with three messages from an unknown number: there’s one picture of her with Tyler at the cafè, and one with Xavier at school when he gave her the phone, and then there’s the words: “I’m watching you”. 

And then another appears, it’s like a gif of her getting stabbed through the head. 

“My very first stalker” she thinks. “Maybe this forced vacation will be more interesting than I imagined. Unlike my novel, not every thread has been tied up, nor every question answered. Secrets are still lurking in the dark corners of Jericho. Were Laurel Gates and Tyler just pawns in a bigger game? Will today’s stalker become tomorrow’s nemesis? I know the suspense is killing you.”

And that’s how it ends, with a scene in which Tyler changes into Hyde while they are taking him into custody. 

Conclusions:

Well, they killed off all the adults but the sheriff, I’m a bit sorry about that, but at least all the kids are ok. I’m not sure if Laurel is dead or alive, but Tyler is definitely alive and from the look of things he might even be free, most likely he’s already free. 

Pity, I liked both Laurel and Kimbot more than him.

Since I know they’ve done a second series, that should be out in a matter of months, I hope they’ll stop with the love triangles, but also that they’ll put a bit more students interactions. A bit more Nevermore.
