They were fighting over her.
(This also feels like a littleHarry Potterredux, no?
Morticia has made some contradictory decisions.
The only good news is that the monster has taken a week off.
(Is EUGENE the monster?
Xaviers dad is totally MIA.
Bianca is able to negotiate for a stay until the end of the school year.
Lets focus on the parent-child relationship that matters to us most.
Tyler uses this opportunity to point out that at least Wednesdays parentscareenough about her togoto therapy!
(Pugsley munches on potpourri.)
Wednesday asks her mother how she honestly believed that Wednesday author ofViper the Teen Detective wouldnt find this out?
Then she goes to visit Eugene in an uncharacteristically sweet and tender scene.
In other sweet and tender news: Morticia puts a rose on Garretts gravestone.
Or at least she puts the stem there.
Hard to think of anything that could dethrone Did my dad kill someone?, but godspeed!
According to Gomez, the Gates family was the oldest and richest in Jericho.
Morticia tried to get help from the police, but they ignored her.
Yeah, that girl is still out there, 100 percent.
Apparently because Gomez confessed, there wont be a trial?
Im not a legal expert, but if were in Jersey, thats … not how that works.
Pugsley believes Wednesday can find a way out of this, so off she goes.
Morticia, supposedly wanting to be alone where no one could find her, went to the Nightshade library.
Wednesday tracks her down easily.
(I would suggest Wednesday adopt a more Tracee Ellis Ross attitude ofliving in her mothers embrace!)
As Morticia remembers it, Garrett seemed barely human: He was foaming at the mouth.
I love this twist-on-the-twist.
The only way to confirm the hunch is to dig up Garretts body.
They kick off the grave and find the proof theyre seeking, but not before the police arrive.
He was dying before he was stabbed.
Of course, our friendly neighborhood mayor was part of the cover-up.
Ansel Gates, he reports, hated outcasts.
And the mayor had to falsify the autopsy report to make it keep the peace.
Morticia sneers that all the mayor really cared about was his reputation.
But men like you have no idea what it feels like not to be believed.
Gomez is released, and he even makes peace with Sheriff Galpin (I dont hold grudges.
Only blood debts.)
Oh, and the only one who can train her is someone from the beyond.
She would be a little bit younger than Gomez and Morticia, right?
OR WHAT IF SHE IS/WAS TYLERS MOM … WOULD THAT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING?!
As she says good-bye to her family, Wednesday allows herself to be hugged and even air-kissed.
As she looks through the old yearbook that night, she realizes that Weems is a shape-shifter.
In any case, Wednesday confronts her principal about this revelation.
