Prepare yourself for new powers, shocking family secrets, terrifying new villains, and alliances you'll never see coming. We're breaking down the entire story, piece by piece. MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING from this point forward!
Part 1: The Hunt for a Killer and the Omen of the Black Tears
Our story doesn't begin at Nevermore. It kicks off in the most Wednesday way imaginable: with her tied up in a dark, eerie basement surrounded by porcelain dolls. The narrative then rewinds six weeks to show us how she got there.
A New Power, A New Target
We learn that Wednesday has spent her time mastering the psychic abilities passed down from her ancestor, Goody Adams, using the Book of Shadows. Now fully in control of her visions, she sets her sights on a chilling new goal: capturing one of America's most elusive criminals, a man known only as Scalper from Kansas City. He's a truly twisted individual, named for his grim signature of using his victims' hair to craft doll-like figures.
To track him down, Wednesday's methods are as unconventional as ever.
- She sends the ever-loyal Thing to a police station to steal a bowling ball that belonged to Scalper's latest victim.
- By touching the ball, her psychic powers reveal the killer's location in Kansas.
Confrontation and Capture
Wednesday tracks Scalper down and attempts to incapacitate him with a stun device, but he manages to block her attack. Just as the confrontation heats up, she's violently pulled into a vision, and for the first time, we see black tears streaming from her eyes. When she comes to, she's trapped in his basement, the very scene from the opening, with a doll made in her likeness.But Scalper has underestimated her. After he removes her gag, Wednesday calmly tells him she has a creation of her own to show him. She glances at another doll, its eyes snap open, and Thing bursts out from inside, ambushing Scalper and allowing Wednesday to free herself. Subdued, Scalper notices the black tears on her face, and she warns him to keep it a secret before fixing him with a sinister smile and picking up a knife.
Later, back home, a newspaper headline celebrates the capture of Scalper, crediting a "mysterious girl". Wednesday, however, is deeply troubled. She searches Goody's spellbook for answers about the black tears but finds nothing.
Part 2: A Haunting Return to Nevermore Academy
Just as Wednesday is grappling with this new mystery, her mother Morticia arrives to remind her that the new semester at Nevermore is beginning. The entire Addams family is heading back, and this time, Pugsley is enrolled as a student too.New Faces and Old Tensions
The journey to Nevermore is eventful.
- Pugsley proudly demonstrates his newfound electrokinetic ability, the same power as Uncle Fester.
- Morticia and Gomez are thrilled. When Pugsley asks why Gomez doesn't have the power, Morticia wisely states that being an outcast is about the soul, not just abilities
- Wednesday, ever practical, immediately tests Pugsley's aim by ordering him to zap a stop sign, which he does, causing a traffic accident.
Upon arriving at Nevermore, Wednesday's newfound fame is overwhelming. After saving the school from Crackstone, she's become a reluctant celebrity, swarmed by students for photos and autographs. Bianca uses her siren power to disperse the crowd.
We are also introduced to the new headmaster, Barry Dort. He greets Wednesday as the "school's savior" and announces his plan to revive an old tradition: a massive bonfire for the founders, with her as the guest of honor. He criticizes the former headmistress, Larissa Weems, but Wednesday coldly refuses his offer.
A New Stalker and a Murder of Crows
The plot introduces a new, terrifying threat. A private investigator, Carl Bradbury, is secretly taking photos when he's swarmed and killed by dozens of crows. His eyes are pecked out. Back in her dorm, Wednesday is horrified to find that Enid has thrown a party. After Enid shoos her guests away, she gives Wednesday a gift, and Wednesday reciprocates with a doll from Scalper's basement, casually mentioning it's made with real human hair. Enid is understandably awkward about it.The peace is shattered when a crossbow bolt slams into the wall, pinning a photo of Wednesday with Headmaster Dort. A message on it reads, "Welcome back, Wednesday. I'm still watching you". When Wednesday tries to use her powers to identify the stalker, she fails, and Enid notices the black tears again.

Part 3: Nevermore's Dark Legends and a Twisted Prank Day
While Wednesday deals with her stalker, life at Nevermore continues to get stranger. Pugsley is rooming with Eugene in the old Caliban Hall, where Gomez once lived. Ajax, now Enid's boyfriend, has become the freshman advisor.The Boy with the Mechanical Heart
Ajax introduces the freshmen to a chilling Nevermore legend about a boy with a weak heart who built himself a mechanical one. The new heart made him cold and ambitious, and his dangerous inventions eventually led to his demise. Legend says he was buried beneath Skull Tree, where the ticking of his heart can still be heard. This story clearly captivates Pugsley. Later, Pugsley finds Skull Tree on a map and uses his powers to reanimate a dead spider, hinting at what's to come.The Founder's Ceremony and a Fiery Speech
The night of the Founder's Ceremony arrives. Wednesday's new novel manuscript, two years in the making, is stolen from her room. A riddle left in its place reveals the thief plans to burn it in the massive bonfire.- Wednesday races to the bonfire, a giant eagle-shaped structure, to save her work.
- Enid panics, trying to warn everyone that Wednesday is inside as Headmaster Dort uses his powers to light it.
- Wednesday emerges just in time, manuscript in hand, as Dort unveils a portrait in her honor.
As this chaos unfolds, Pugsley sneaks away to Skull Tree and accidentally uses his powers to awaken the boy with the mechanical heart.
When Wednesday returns from the ceremony, Enid grabs her, and Wednesday is overwhelmed by her most terrifying vision yet: she's in a graveyard, standing before a tombstone bearing the name Enid Sinclair. In the vision, Enid blames Wednesday for her death. Wednesday collapses in the real world, black tears streaming down her face.A Vision of Death
Part 4: The Raven's Curse and a Secret Buried at Willow Hill
Wednesday awakens in Rothwood Cottage, where Morticia now resides after being offered a position on Nevermore's charity committee by Dort. Morticia explains the black tears are a sign of mental exhaustion from overusing her powers and demands she give up Goody's spellbook.An Investigation and an Unlikely Alliance
Haunted by her vision, Wednesday discovers the body of the private investigator, Carl Bradbury. At the scene, she meets the new sheriff, Richie Santiago, and spots a hooded figure watching her. She chases him down and unmasks him, revealing Tyler's father, the former sheriff Donovan Galpin.
Galpin reveals he was working with Bradbury on a secret case involving a threat to outcasts. He pleads for Wednesday's help, claiming he only wants to protect people like his son Tyler, who he insists was manipulated by Thornhill. Wednesday scoffs, saying Tyler was always a monster, and refuses to help. Before she leaves, Galpin warns her that "the crows are always watching".
Tragically, Wednesday later finds Donovan Galpin dead in his ransacked home, his eyes also missing. As she stands over his body, a swarm of ravens bursts from his mouth, leaving behind a single, one-eyed bird. When she tries to trigger a vision, she discovers her powers are gone.
The Mysterious "Project Lois"
The investigation leads Wednesday down a rabbit hole.- She learns that a student with invisibility powers, Agnes DeMille, was behind the "stalker" prank and stole Galpin's phone from his house.
- On the phone, she finds voicemails from Bradbury and a photo of a cabin at a place called Pinecrest, near Camp Jericho.
- At the cabin, Wednesday discovers newspaper clippings about outcasts who disappeared from Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital over the last 15 years, all connected to the name "Lois".
Convinced that Goody's book is the only way to restore her powers and save Enid, Wednesday's mission becomes clear.
Part 5: Chaos at Willow Hill and the Return of a Monster
To uncover the truth about "Lois," Wednesday devises a plan to get Uncle Fester inside Willow Hill. He gets himself arrested and admitted as a patient. Inside, he learns that "Lois" isn't a person, but a code. He's eventually caught and thrown into a special cell with a zombie.Meanwhile, Wednesday learns that a former Nevermore teacher named August Stonehurst, who is now a comatose patient at Willow Hill, is the one who forged cremation papers for the missing outcasts.

- Agnes creates a diversion, allowing Wednesday to sneak inside.
- She frees Fester, and they use the code to unlock a maintenance room.
Behind a bookshelf, they find a corridor leading to a secret underground laboratory—the heart of Project Lois. Here, the "dead" outcasts are being held captive. A woman steps forward and introduces herself as Judy, August Stonehurst's daughter. She reveals the project's horrifying purpose: to extract abilities from outcasts and transfer them to normies. Judy herself was the first successful experiment, gaining the power to command birds.
Anarchy and Escape
Just then, all hell breaks loose.- Fester unleashes an electrical pulse that knocks out the power, opening all the cells.
- The captive outcasts turn on Judy.
- Pugsley's zombie pet, "Slurp" (who is actually the boy with the mechanical heart and was brought to Willow Hill earlier), breaks free and frees Marilyn Thornhill.
- Thornhill unchains Tyler, but he immediately turns on her, transforming into the Hyde and killing her as she flees.
In the chaos, Tyler confronts Wednesday and throws her through a window just as the police arrive. He escapes into the woods as Wednesday falls into a coma.
Part 6: A Spiritual Guide, A Body Swap, and a New Vision
In her coma, Wednesday's mind drifts to the "other world," where she is stunned to meet her new spiritual guide: the deceased Larissa Weems. Weems reveals they are distantly related and scolds Wednesday for losing her powers and unleashing Tyler. When Wednesday awakens, her powers are still gone.The Curse of Rosalind Rothwood
Haunted by the vision of Enid's death, Wednesday becomes desperate. Her grandmother, Hester Frump, tells her about a legendary "raven" teacher buried at Nevermore, Rosalind Rothwood. By reciting words on her grave, Wednesday can gain a temporary vision.
She goes to the cemetery, speaks the inscription, and is drawn into a vision where Rosalind's spirit challenges her to endure a magical flame. But just as she places her hand in it, Enid, who followed her, pulls her away. The ritual is broken, and the consequences are immediate: Wednesday and Enid wake up the next morning having swapped bodies.
Rosalind's skeletal remains later reveal the curse can only be broken if the two girls reveal the truths they've been hiding from each other.
Truth and Reconciliation
Forced to live as each other, they learn some hard truths.- Enid, in Wednesday's body, is hurt after reading Wednesday's novel, which describes the character based on her as "weak and tasteless".
- Wednesday, in Enid's body, discovers Enid's new boyfriend Bruno has another girlfriend and ends the relationship for her.
- The ordeal climaxes with Wednesday (as Enid) transforming into a wolf to save their friend Agnes from Tyler, who has resurfaced.

Part 7: The Gala of Deceit and the Fall of a Headmaster
With the body-swap crisis averted, the focus shifts to the sinister Headmaster Dort. A flashback reveals he, not a man named Gideon, is the true founder of the manipulative cult "Morning Song". He brought Bianca's mother, Gabrielle, into the cult and is now using Bianca to secure a massive donation from Wednesday's wealthy grandmother, Hester Frump.Exposing the Truth
At the school's grand gala, Wednesday teams up with Bianca, Enid, and Agnes to expose Dort.- Agnes, using her invisibility, steals the protective amulet that shields Dort from siren powers.
- With Dort vulnerable, Bianca uses her siren song to compel him to confess his crimes in front of everyone.
- When he panics and takes Bianca hostage, Ajax heroically removes his hat and turns Dort to stone, who is then shattered by a falling chandelier.

The season's final act revolves around the mysterious Isaac. Through a séance, the family learns a shocking secret Morticia and Gomez have kept for over 20 years.
The Secret of Isaac Knight
- Isaac Knight was Gomez's best friend and roommate at Nevermore. He is also the zombie "Slurp" Pugsley reanimated, and more importantly, he is Tyler's uncle.

Now, Isaac has returned, fully regenerated, and has kidnapped Pugsley to use him as the new power source.
The Truth About Thing
