'Wednesday' Season 2 Cliffhanger Highlights The Show's Best Feature And Worst Habit
"Wednesday Season 2's unique structure gave us not one but two mysteries, reveals, and epic cliffhangers. In Part 1, we learned the secrets of Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital, including the true motivation of eager deputy Judi Stonehearst. By the end of Part 1, a number of residents of Willow Hill were on the loose, including Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), the Hyde who haunted Season 1, and his Hyde mother."
"The Season 2 finale reveals that Wednesday freed Francoise Galpin (Frances O'Connor), the mother of Tyler Galpin and wife of the late Jericho sheriff Donovan Galpin. But before she was Francoise Galpin, she was Francoise Night, a student at Nevermore along with her brother Isaac (Owen Painter.) Isaac eventually appears, too, but in the strangest of ways: he turns out to be the true identity of Pugsley's "pet" zombie Slurp, who appears more and more like himself with every victim he claims."
"Apparently, back when Morticia and Gomez went to Nevermore, Isaac was Gomez's roommate. Back then, Gomez had the same electrifying powers as his brother and future son, and mad scientist Isaac used him as a power source for a massive machine aimed at ridding Francoise of her powers forever. Morticia stopped the scheme, resulting in Isaac dying and Gomez losing his powers forever. This is also where Thing comes from: Isaac's right hand lived on as an adopted Addams. ("Thing" is an anagram of "Night.)"
Part 1 exposed Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital secrets and the motives of deputy Judi Stonehearst. Several Willow Hill residents escaped, including Tyler Galpin and his Hyde mother. Part 2 refocuses on the Hydes and traces their origin to Isaac Night, which reduces Wednesday's centrality by making her more of a spectator. The finale shows Wednesday freeing Francoise Galpin, formerly Francoise Night, and reveals Isaac Night as the true identity of Pugsley’s zombie Slurp. Isaac had been Gomez’s Nevermore roommate and used Gomez as a power source; Morticia stopped the machine, Isaac died, and Gomez lost his powers. Isaac’s right hand survives as Thing.
