I am very excited to move just a few blocks down fromone haunted Westfield hometo another.
the call to releaseWednesdayabout three weeksafterHalloween rather than in the spooky season lead-up is an especially mystifying one.
But lets not let these baffling scheduling choices stand between us and our new series.
Wednesdays introduction of piranhas into the pool cuts their swim practice short, to say the least.
Impressive commitment to the bit!
Why didnt they just send her there in the first place?
And why is Wednesday so adamant about not going?
Theyre obsessed with pilgrims, which is honestly hilarious.
As you might expect, people in Jericho arenotvery into the freaks down the street.
But the normies of Jericho have other plans.
(paraphrasing, as is my right as a recapper).
So theyre just going to say it was a bear attack while they find the freaks who did this.
The young blonde is Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), whose preferred aesthetic is Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper.
I did laugh out loud when Enid said some of the vampires had been at Nevermore for decades.
Enid is a werewolf with cute retractable claws.
This is very sweet, IMO, but Wednesday is unmoved.
Like, yes thereareGorgons, but there isnotsame-sex hookuppery?
(Dont fight your destiny, Wednesday!)
She does her damndest to show up Bianca but loses in the end.
An outcast in a school of outcasts.
And then Wednesday is nearly killed by a falling gargoyle.
Youknowits gonna be the tortured artist!
She demands and receives Things undying loyalty and remains hellbent on escape.
I guess we can only have one subversively intelligent blonde, and Enids already claimed the spot?
Whywouldntshe learn the native tongue of Machiavelli?)
On the drive home, another one of Wednesdays visions comes true.
I couldve done without a lingering shot of that drivers broken neck.
Maybe chalk it up again to Netflix wanting to make 55-minute episodes happen when a tight 47 would suffice.
Wednesday plays the cello, but it does not soothe her addled mind.
They devise an escape plan using the Harvest Festival (attendance: mandatory) as a cover.
Tyler also dreams of getting out of this hellhole.
Way to contribute, Tyler!
Yetagainwe have a bunch of bullies, this time with baseball bats.
Its getting a little tired, if you ask me.
so he has no choice but to murder.
Hes the one who tried to assassinate her via falling gargoyle, like aLooney Tunestyle anvil.
(My first guess: Do we think it could be Principal Larissa Weems?)
