** They were employing reverse psychology. Wednesday didn't fit in at any of her other schools, but they ''knew'' she wouldn't. She's a rebellious teen and would think her not fitting in was everyone ''else's'' problem. By sending her to other school's first, it broadened her perspective and enabled her to appreciate Nevermore and the friends she made there.

[[folder: How did Xavier's painting of the Hyde manage to scratch him so deeply?]]
He can make his paintings and drawings move, but they're still made out of whatever he used to create them (pencil, ink, paint, etc.) His pencil drawing of a spider collapsed to dust the moment Wednesday hit it. Assuming the painting he did was either acrylic, watercolor, or oil-based paint, there's no way it could have been sharp enough or firm enough to hurt him when it took a swipe at him. At the most it simply would have left a paint mark on his neck.

** Did he buy it? It might just be a older phone, and since Xavier has a more recent version, he gave the old one to Wednesday. He could have had it wiped, but kept the old number the same, so anyone who knew his old number and saw him give it to Wednesday could have inferred what he did.

* They are religious fanatics, completely devoted to someone who promised that he'd return someday and finish what he started. They probably saw it as a sort of "second coming" that would deliver divine judgment.


Added DiffLines:

* Thornhill is a normie, committing murders through her command of the Hyde. Wednesday and Weems probably don't consider Thornhill a serious threat on her own and expect her to fold when confronted. Weems also prefers to deal with problems discreetly to protect the school's reputation, while Wednesday, as pointed out by Thornhill, tends to overestimate herself.

*He had no reason to believe a living person would be lying around in the morgue, so it was reasonable to assume she was dead.

** She was operating under an alias and very much didn't want to be identified (she killed the mayor as soon as he seemed to figure out her identity). It would be stranger if she ''hadn't'' altered her appearance.

* In-universe JustSoStories? People have always been coming up with "origins" for anything from giraffes to volcanos based on their limited understanding of science or just plain RuleOfCool. In a world that includes gorgons as a fact of life, there's no reason to think they'd be excluded.

** She also has every reason to have a grudge against ''Gomez'' for killing her brother, and it's her actions in killing the coroner that get him arrested for it. Maybe that was the initial plan: frame Gomez, have him arrested and brought to Jericho (he most likely wouldn't have resisted even if police had come to his door with the warrant), and obtain his blood from there. Another Addams descendant falling into her lap in the right timeframe just gave her options.

Why didn't he check Wednesdays pulse to see if she was actually dead all he did was feel her cheek, and says that she's been dead for a while.

* And how did they get the number? Xavier bought the phone. Did he buy it in her name? It is possible she might have turned the phone down, That might have been awkward...

When Wednesday and Weems confront Thornhill they do so alone with no backup and with seemingly zero preparation for if she turns violent. Even if the goal were to not put her on her guard and taking more time to prepare could have given her time to escape why on earth would either of them get close to someone who just confessed to arranging multiple murders or be surprised when she lashes out?

It's revealed that the villains are trying to resurrect Crackstone because he was so effective at killing outcasts in his own time, but while he was alive he only really employed fire and hatred. Even if he's charismatic and good at manipulating people, he knows nothing about the modern world, so how would he be remotely equipped to do the same thing in the modern world? Even if they knew he'd get supernatural powers, why do they think he'd win against an entire school full of supernatural beings?
