Wednesday's Child is Full of Woe

• The opening scene set the tone for the show as a whole. Wednesday, after discovering Pugsley is being bullied, confronts his bullies while they're in the pool. When they mock her in turn, she stoically says that "The only person who gets to torture my brother is me," holding up two bags of ravenous piranhas, and then dropping them into the pool. As the jocks desperately swim for their lives, one gets cornered by the ladder, the screams start and the blood gushes (all set to “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” by Édith Piaf) Wednesday looks upon her work and... almost smiles.
• The family driving their family car to Nevermore has a scene where a flock of birds fly right into the windshield, which doesn't faze anyone in the car, while the birds simply drop on the street dead.
• Wednesday’s stoic, but clearly disgusted face when her parents are being affectionate to each other in the car.
  Wednesday: You guys are making me nauseous…not in a good way.
• Morticia tells Wednesday that the family of the boy injured in her piranha prank were going to press charges, and asks Wednesday how "attempted murder" would look on her record. Wednesday, completely serious, agrees it would look terrible... because everyone would know she failed to finish the job.
• When Weems brings up how she was once Morticia's roommate at Nevermore, Wednesday applauds her for being able to graduate with her sanity intact.
• Wednesday's introduction to her new roommate, Enid Sinclair, who is completely the opposite of her, gets a few laughs.
  Enid: Are you feeling okay? You look a little pale.
  Gomez: [cheerfully] Wednesday always looks half dead.
• After Wednesday doesn't let Enid hug her, Morticia explains that Wednesday is actually allergic to color:
  Wednesday: I break out into hives and the flesh peels off my bones.
• Ajax tells Enid about hearing her new roommate eats the flesh of her victims, and advises Enid to watch her back. Enid, looking supremely embarassed because Wednesday is right behind her, steps aside to reveal said roommate. Wednesday gives him a Death Glare, and informs him that she prefers filleting her victims and feeding them to her menagerie of pets.
  • Upon seeing her black and white aesthetic, Ajax says that Wednesday looks like a living Instagram filter.
• Gorgons spend too much time getting stoned.
• Wednesday views on modern technology, like social media.
  Wednesday: I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation.
• Wednesday and Morticia's parting is as barbed as you would expect from the Addams family. Wednesday insists she'll never fall in love and have a family like Morticia did. Morticia laments that she's heard girls Wednesday's age often say mean things to break their mother's heart. Wednesday counters that it's a good thing that Morticia doesn't have a heart, causing Morticia to smile and say "Finally, a kind word for your mother."
• Wednesday gets annoyed by Enid playing music and dancing and threatens her to turn it off. Enid uses her werewolf powers to make her (colorfully painted) nails grow longer and sharper, warning Wednesday that "this kitty's got claws." Then Mrs. Thornhill interrupts them and is taken aback by the color contrast between Wednesday and Enid's halves of the room, with the window in the middle of the room even being half rainbow stained-glass and half undecorated and dirty.
  • Before this, Wednesday and Enid get into a little argument, with Wednesday insulting Enid's blog, saying that she has seen serial killer diaries with better punctuation.
• Wednesday says that after Enid has smothered her with hospitality, she hopes to return the favor...while Enid is sleeping. Also, Enid's smiling then changes to a worried "Wait, what?" look.
• Why does Wednesday like the black dahlia flower? It’s named after her favorite unsolved murder.
• Xavier introduces himself to Wednesday saying that she probably doesn't recognize him as he has matured a bit since they last met. When she asked what happened, he replies with "puberty, I guess", only for Wednesday to clarify that she was asking what happened when they first met.
• Wednesday was able to detect Thing’s presence because she could smell his hand lotion.
• When Wednesday is talking to her psychiatrist, she gets some great zingers, like mentioning the last one took a six-month sabbatical, and mentioning that she sent a Caustic Critic a gift like only an Addams would, namely several primed mouse traps.
• She also has this line that she uses to justify her actions regarding the bully she sicced her piranhas on.
  Wednesday: He lost a testicle. I did the world a favor, people like Dalton shouldn't be allowed to procreate.
• After frightening Tyler, Wednesday is asked if she makes a habit of scaring people, to which she responds that it is more of a hobby.
• Wednesday says that drip coffee is for people who hate themselves and know their lives have no meaning or purpose. Cut back to Tyler, who looks back at a customer who overheard their conversation putting the coffee pot down before walking away.
• Wednesday mentions that she once made a steam powered guillotine when she was ten...because she wanted to decapitate the heads of her dolls more efficiently.
• This exchange when Enid both sees Wednesday playing her cello on the roof and meets Thing who's changing her music sheets for her:
  Enid: How the hell did you get that cello through the window?!
  Wednesday: I had an extra hand.
  [Thing waves to Enid]
  Enid: Whoa. Where's the rest of him?
  Wednesday: It's one of the great Addams Family mysteries.
• While the flashback to her childhood is meant to be sad, there is something funny about the sight of a six year old walking a scorpion down the street on a leash like a dog.
• Thing flips Tyler off for asking if he's a pet. Wednesday explains to Tyler that Thing is sensitive.
• In a Bait-and-Switch Comment, Wednesday recaps her First Day from Hell (hearing a prophecy that she will destroy Nevermore, learning Gomez is an accused murderer, and witnessing a murder) and then says that as much as she hates admitting it, her mother may have been right to say that Wednesday will like it at Nevermore.

Woe Is the Loneliest Number

• When Sheriff Galpin says that his search party were unable to find Rowan’s body in the forest, Wednesday makes a jab at him, saying his search party must have left their seeing-eye dogs at home.
• Wednesday tells the sheriff that her father has never murdered anything except for some of the songs he sings in the shower.
• When Enid dramatically says that she will scratch her eyes out if Bianca wins the Poe Cup, Wednesday pips up that she would pay money to see that.
• Wednesday muses on Rowan being alive.
  Wednesday: ...which leads me to believe I must be losing my mind. It's not nearly as fun as I anticipated.
• Enid invites Wednesday to join her and her team on decorating their canoe for the Poe Cup race. One would think that by now she had learned to watch her phrasing around Wednesday.
  Enid: Care to take a stab at being social?
  Wednesday: I do like stabbing... [beat] The social part, not so much.
• There's also this line from Enid in regards to helping Wednesday get into school spirit.
  Enid: It’s okay, just so long as you're lakeside, cheering us to victory.
  Wednesday: [stoic expression doesn’t change]
  Enid: ...or you can just glare uncomfortably, whatever works for you.
• Principal Weems insists Wednesday pick an extracurricular. Their banter is great, with Weems saying Nevermore students should be well-rounded and Wednesday immediately retorting that she prefers to remain sharp-edged, culminating in Weems handing over a list of clubs with openings, saying she's sure Wednesday will find something that "tickles her fancy." Wednesday grudgingly takes the list, while saying "The last person who tickled me lost a finger." That's already amusing, but now try getting the image of ticklish Wednesday out of your head!
• When she tries out for Bianca's choir, Wednesday utters a note that only dogs can hear, which cracks one of the students' glasses and a glass container all the way up in Weems' office, much to everyone's confusion.
• When scolding Thing for losing Rowan in the bathroom, Wednesday insults him by saying "A lefty wouldn’t have failed me".
• For one thing, Enid and Thing have apparently hit it off and enjoy chatting and giving each other manicures. Then thanks to this friendship Enid prevails on Wednesday to actually apologize to Thing, giving us a great "conversation":
  Wednesday: Yes, I know that I am stubborn, obsessive and single minded. Those are all traits of great writers.
  Thing: [Gesticulating pointedly]
  Wednesday: [annoyed] Yes, and serial killers too. What's your point?
  • Also, funny how Thing has bonded with Enid so quickly, that he chooses to read a magazine on her bed instead of Wednesday's.
• Eugene privately tells Wednesday that he has a thing for werewolf girls, to which Wednesday says any chance of Enid being romantically interested in him is less than 1%.
  Eugene: So I still got a shot?
• When Tyler expects Wednesday to think it is odd for him to be stalking his dad, she tells him that it's not, as she consistently stalks her parents.
• When Wednesday is looking for books in the library, Thornhill stops by, saying she usually finds students coming to the library to make out instead of actually looking for books. Wednesday tells her that she did actually walk in on two vampires fanging, something that she cannot unsee.
• Wednesday considers herself to be as close to her mother as two inmates sentenced to life in the same cell.
• When Wednesday agrees to be co-pilot, Enid is touched that she is willing to do that for her, though Wednesday says she simply wants to beat Bianca so badly that the bitter taste of defeat burns in her throat.
• Just before they go to their boat for the Poe Cup, Wednesday is confused when Enid mentions a team costume. An Answer Cut later, Wednesday steps out of a costume tent, dressed like a black cat and looking miserable as Enid greets her, wearing an identical costume. She asks why Wednesday didn't draw whiskers on her face, and Wednesday replies with Tranquil Fury.
  Wednesday: Ask again and you'll be down to eight lives.
  • What makes this extra hilarious is that Wednesday’s expression brings to mind cats that are displeased by people forcing them to dress up.
  • Also, despite the implied death threat, Enid goes right back to barely restrained glee; it's either a testament to her boundless energy, or Emma Myers on the verge of Corpsing.
• Thing distracts the opposing team by throwing a pebble to get their attention before flipping them off.
• After the Poe Cup is over and it's the victory ceremony, Wednesday looks undeniably stoic next to Enid who's grinning ear-to-ear.
• The final scene in their room shows Enid sleeping and cuddling with the Poe Cup like a teddy bear. It's both hilarious and adorable in equal measure.

Friend Or Woe

• Wednesday's interaction with the Nightshades. She starts by noting the bag over her head to cause maximum disorientation, wrists tied tight enough to cut off circulation, and no idea if she's going to live or die. "It's definitely my kind of party." Then she realizes the Nightshades are really just a shallow clique, with no real power or knowledge befitting a secret society, so she turns down their invitation to pledge, reveals that she's already untied herself, threatens the merman from the previous episode with a matching black eye if he doesn't get out of her way, and on her way out, gives them a pretty sick burn.
  Wednesday: It's amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name.
• Xavier expresses disappointment at having been assigned to work at the Weathervane during Outreach Day, which makes him desperate enough to beg Ajax to trade assignments with him.
• Wednesday agrees to play her cello with the Jericho High School marching band for the Outreach Day at the town square, so long as she gets the chance to be hanged as a witch afterwards.
• Pilgrim World itself. The concept alone sounds like the most boring theme park ever designed, and as Wednesday rightfully points out, is in somewhat poor taste for being a glorification of European colonialism; the reality somehow manages to exaggerate even those expectations so far that it ends up being funny.
  • Wednesday is able to convince a reluctant Enid to trade assignments with her by informing her that Ajax was given the same assignment. The way Enid's face lights up when she hears this, and before Wednesday can even walk away, she agrees and eagerly runs inside Uriah's Heap with a skip in her step.
• Following a lead, Wednesday spends the Nevermore Outreach day at Pilgrim World, a pilgrim theme park. Denied the chance to further her investigation because of the necessity for volunteers to offer samples at "Ye Olde Fudgery," Wednesday gives a startling sales pitch in German to a group of German tourists, detailing how the fudge is made from cacao beans procured from the oppressed indigenous people of the Amazon, the proceeds go to Pilgrim World as a pathetic whitewashing of American history, and fudge won't even be invented for another 258 years. Chastened, the German tourists leave.
  • This isn't even the first time Wednesday has shown absolute disdain for something themed around whitewashing the pilgrim invasions. Keeping that in mind, Pilgrim World should count itself lucky that Wednesday is merely scaring off the tourists.
• Wednesday tells Eugene that he reminds her of Pugsley…but without the desire to strange him in every waking moment.
• When looking on the back of the fake Book of Shadows, Wednesday spots a barcode for Etsy.
  Wednesday: I don’t know who "Etsy" is but I doubt she was an outcast settler.
• Enid and Ajax at being completely creeped out by all the taxidermy made from actual road kill at Uriah’s Heap run by an even creeper manager.
• Ajax not picking up on Enid hinting that she likes him, and wants to go out with him. This leads a frustrated Enid to finally lay it out for him:
  Enid: Ajax! I spent all morning, flirting, hinting, and trying to act cute, while brushing some roadkill just so you’d ask me on a freaking date.
  Ajax: [very surprised] Oh, that’s what you were doing! I kinda wondered why you took so long brushing that opossum tail.
• Afterwards, Enid says dreamily to herself "I can’t believe he asked"... Even though she's the one who actually asked him out.
• Wednesday eventually leaves Pilgrim World, saying she would like to leave with her sanity intact.
• This line which also serves as a Call-Back to the the 90s film:
  Wednesday: I could eat Girl Scouts for breakfast.
• Wednesday tries to prove that her visions can’t just happen by randomly touching anything by first touching a pillar, then a wall, and finally:
  Wednesday: Ah, I bet this will give us some real insight. [holds up a Taco Bell bag in plain view of the camera before pretending to go into her vision trance]
• Wednesday rolls her eyes at Enid being upset that someone sabotaged the celebration and fails to realize it was her. Enid also mentions she didn't get to do her dance because of the fire and Wednesday simply responds: "Modern Tragedy".
• This exchange between Wednesday and Enid right before she goes to meet Ajax — also Heartwarming:
  Enid: Wish me luck!
  Wednesday: If he breaks your heart, I'll nail gun his.
• Ajax, while he's showering for his date with Enid, accidentally turns himself into a stone statue. It's sad because you know he wanted to be there and obviously couldn't, but also darkly funny because of how it not only could've happened to a gorgon, but because you're not sure he survived either.

Woe What a Night

• Wednesday hides in plain sight as a corpse in the freezer. Not only is the coroner completely fooled by her doing nothing but lying very still, when Thing lets her out, she asks for five more minutes.
• The morgue scene's really heavy-handed foreshadowing of the coroner's death.
• Wednesday showing the pictures of the crime scenes to the obviously squeamish Enid who eventually gets so overwhelmed and uncomfortable while Wednesday is explaining things, she completely passes out.
  Wednesday: (to Thing) Fetch the smelling salts. Again.
  • Before this, Enid compares Wednesday's board of crime pictures to Ted Bundy's Pinterest. Wednesday says it's not any less creepy than Enid's stuffed unicorn collection.
• When asked if she was going to Rave’N, Wednesday said that she would rather stick needles in her eyes ...though she would probably do that anyway.
• Wednesday, having to maintain her cover for sneaking into Xavier’s art studio, asks him to go to the dance with her. It takes her several pauses to actually get the words out.
• Upon discovering that Wednesday is going to the Rave’N, Enid is bursting with excitement.
  Enid: Oh, my god, Wednesday Addams is going to Rave’N! My whole world is tilted! You know what you need now?
  Wednesday: [absolutely deadpan] A bullet to the head?
  Enid: A dress!
  Wednesday: I already have one.
  Enid: Not the one you showed up here in. That thing was a fashion emergency not even lightning could resuscitate.
• Enid knows Lucas Walker because she has a nose for gossip, follows him on TikTok... and because Wednesday had beat him and his friends up… twice.
• When Eugene asks Wednesday to put in a good word for him to Enid (as he wants to be the girl’s date to Rave’N), Wednesday goes on a whole speech about how they don't need these cliche rites of passages to validate themselves. Eugene then asks if that means that she is not going to dance either. Wednesday’s eyes shift, realizing her situation before telling Eugene that she is going to the Rave’N with Xavier. The subtle surprise on Wednesday when Eugene asks.
• Eugene recognizes the cave from Xavier’s drawings as he has been there to collect what he calls “horny gypsy moths.”
• Before going into the cave, Wednesday tells Eugene that if he hears her screaming bloody murder, she is probably just enjoying herself being in an enclosed space.
• Later, Wednesday is about to make a suggestion to Eugene that since they don’t have dates to the dance, only for an excited Eugene to blurt outs that they should go together. Wednesday, annoyed, says that was not what she was going to say.
• When Wednesday comes down wearing the dress that Thing brought for her to wear to the Rave'N, we are treated to this funny exchange between her and Tyler.
  Tyler: Wow, you look...
  Wednesday: Unrecognizable, ridiculous, a classic example of female objection for the Male Gaze?
• Apparently, calling a Yeti an “abominable snowman” is offensive.
• Upon seeing Wednesday at the dance wearing her new dress, Ajax says she has finally come out of her cocoon, only for Bianca to scornfully add “like a death’s head moth.”
• Seeing that Lucas has Enid's date to Rave’N, Wednesday says that the guy already has two strikes in her book. When Lucas comes over to talk to her, Wednesday informs him that she has pocket mace on her…the medieval kind.
• Eugene, being all serious staking out of the cave, while reporting everything he sees into his radio, only to briefly be distracted by the sound of a rare club-horned grasshopper.
• While Wednesday is upset about Tyler hiding what he did to Xavier, she doesn’t judge him for his actions, because if it was her, she would have taken the act further.
• Wednesday says that whoever invented high heels must have had a side hustle as a torturer.
• Wednesday keeping the same straight face during her whole dance.
• Wednesday's joy when the blood rain prank starts and then her genuine disappointment when it turns out the "blood" "isn't even pig's blood", it's just red paint.
• After Enid forgives Ajax upon finding out why he missed their date, they talk about how they should maybe take it slow. Cue them full-blown making out immediately after that.

You Reap What You Woe

• The episode begins very dark, with a flash back to 1990 as Gomez is arrested for murdering Garret Gates. As he is led out of the school, he is stopped by Morticia, who tells him that seeing him in cuffs, being led away by the police accused of murder... she's never loved him more.
• Gomez tells Wednesday how much the rest of the family have missed her accusing eyes and youthful sneer.
• Wednesday tells her parents everything that has happened since she came to Nevermore.
  Wednesday: Since you had abandoned me here, I’ve been hunted, haunted, and accused of attempted murder.
  Gomez: [eyes alight with joy] Oh, Nevermore, I love you so!
• Morticia says how Weems would fill the room with her presence like a stately Sequoia tree. Weems responds that if that is the case, then Morticia must be the lumberjack.
• Gomez likes the idea of having a family session with Doctor Kinbott, as he has always been a fan of head-shrinking. Morticia is quick to point out that therapy is not that kind of head shrinking, which disappoints him.
• The family session with Dr. Kinbott has a few funny moments:
  • Pugsley says that he misses being waterboarded by Wednesday.
  • Gomez loudly kissing his wife’s hand repeatedly, leaving Kinbott completely flustered before Wednesday tells her parents to stop.
    • Even funnier, Wednesday is seated between her parents as this is happening.
  • The way Pugsley’s face lights up in awe when Wednesday brings up Gomez being accused of killing Garrett Gates.
• During the session, Pugsley is shown eating a box of candy. When the family is about to leave, he hands it back to Kinbott, who informs him that it is actually potpourri, which she decides to let him have.
  • When Wednesday and Morticia storm off after their fight, Pugsley offers Gomez some. After one bite, Gomez's face lights up before reaching for more.
• Morticia is devastated that Gomez is in jail… because she hates him in orange.
• Wednesday deems Gomez as a good father for many things: giving her a fencing blade at age 5, teaching her how to swim with sharks, and how to flay a rattlesnake (which Gomez says tastes like chicken).
• Enid’s werewolf brothers playing frisbee like actual dogs.
• Wednesday gives Pugsley a set of fishing supplies from their father, including his "favorite bait"... a hand grenade.
• When Pugsley says that he thought he would end up being the first family member to be in prison, Wednesday reveals that she and Lurch had a bet going.
• Seeing Wednesday digging up Garret’s grave makes Morticia reminisce when the girl got her first grave digging kit. She even mentions how Wednesday almost smiled when she got it. Wednesday invites her to help with the digging, but Morticia doesn’t want to spoil her daughter’s fun.
  • When she opens Garrett’s coffin, Wednesday takes a big sniff of his corpse.
• In prison, Gomez and Morticia passionately kiss each other through their cells.
  Wednesday: I’ve seen jackals with more self control than you two.
• After releasing Gomez from jail, the Sheriff apologizes for what happened. Gomez accepts as he does not hold grudges…only blood debts.
• Before saying good-bye to her parents, Wednesday tells her father that she knew he didn’t have what it takes to be a murderer. Gomez says that her saying does sting a bit.
• The young Weems tells the police that she doesn't want to name any names in regards to Garret Gates' murder, before immediately blaming the whole thing on Morticia.

Quid Pro Woe

• The reason Wednesday doesn’t do seances often is because she barely tolerates the living, let alone the dead. Enid says it’s on brand for her, even offering to let her borrow one of her scented candles.
• The surprise birthday party in Crackstone's crypt has a few funny moments, including Thing showing up wearing a party hat, Enid decorating a cake with a grim reaper holding a red balloon.
• When Wednesday is more to the writing on Crackstone's crypt, Ajax pips that they are not going to be eating the cake.
• When Thing crawls onto Wednesday’s shoulder, she says “Careful, that’s my cold shoulder.”
• Wednesday prefers to be vilified on her birthday.
• Enid asked what was going on in the crypt, as Wednesday looked like she was having a seizure. Wednesday says she was not that lucky.
• Gomez and Morticia’s gift for Wednesday’s birthday is a taxidermy kit with dead squirrels, though Wednesday admits that she would rather have live ones.
• This conversation about the Snoods.
  Enid: We can wear them together to class.
  Wednesday: Oh, Enid, this is far too unique to wear to something like class. I suggest we wait for a more special occasion... [Enid smiles] Like a funeral.
  Enid: [disappointed] Oh....
• Wednesday says that she didn’t always hate birthdays, as they meant she was a year closer to death. She adds that her parents always made her birthdays memorable. Cue flashback to young Wednesday's birthday, which included an electric chair and coffin as presents, and a black cake that is decorated with figures of the family with a guillotine that chops off a dolls head, causing it to spew a red liquid. Later, it shows a group of kids watching Wednesday hitting a spider pinata, that is filled with live spiders that immediately scare off the guests.
• During her session with Kinbott, Wednesday mentioned her bonding experience with her mother when they went grave digging.
• Wednesday says that everyday is about her. Her birthday is like everyday, except a bad song and a cake.
• Seeing someone getting hit by a car was actually on Wednesday's bucket list.
• When Enid suggests that she pretends to be wolfing out and get a pass to the Lupin cages so Wednesday can lock her up.
  Wednesday: My deviousness has finally rubbed off on you.
• When Enid suggests wearing their snoods when they sneak out, a flustered Wednesday lies about leaving hers at the fencing, only for Enid to show it to her after Bianca brought it back from the Weathervane.
  Wednesday: Like a monkey’s paw.
• Wednesday lurking outside Tyler’s car window, frightening him when he sees her.
  Wednesday: Let’s get going.
  Tyler: Uh, hi, nice to see you.
  • A few seconds later, Enid gets in the backseat, and is surprised to see Tyler.
  Enid: Wait, he’s our Uber driver?!
  Tyler: Uber Driver? I thought we were going on a date.
  Enid: I thought this was a girl’s night out.
  Wednesday: There’s been a change of plans.
• Tyler inquires about the snoods that Enid and Wednesday are wearing when the three of them are about to go to the old Gates mansion. Wednesday doesn't want to talk about them.
  • Also the fact that Enid actually believed Wednesday called an Uber when she knows that Wednesday doesn't even have a phone.
• Tyler’s shock when Enid is able to pry open the very locked door to the Gates house when he couldn’t. Enid simply says “Werewolf thing.”
• When they discover the Gates altar to Crackstone.
  Enid: Who doesn’t have a spooky built-in altar in their library?
  Wednesday: [shrugs] Ours is in the living room. More seating for year long Dia de Los Muertos.
• When Wednesday suggests splitting up to search the house, Enid points out that this is how every best friend dies in a horror film.
  Enid: This has to be the worst girl’s night out ever.
• To keep the monster from getting into the dumbwaiter, Wednesday uses her snood to tie the opening in place. Enid is upset by this, but Wednesday tells her to stop.

If You Don't Woe Me By Now

• In her monologue during the Mayor's funeral, Wednesday mentions that she used to crash funerals since she was able to read obituaries.
• Fester tells Wednesday that she used to visit Gomez at Nevermore, usually revealing himself by hanging from the ceiling with a dagger clutched between his teeth.
• Fester has been filled in about what has been going on with Wednesday at Nevermore, including the monsters, murders, and mayhem, which he deems as fun.
• Fester tries to eat Eugene's bees, only for Wednesday to tell him not too. When Wednesday leaves him in the bee hut, Fester is about to try again, only for Wednesday to burst back inside to tell him to leave the bees alone.
• Fester recalls encountering Hyde in 83 when he was in the Zurich Institute for the Criminally Insane, which he proudly says is where he got his first of many lobotomies, which he compares to getting a tattoo.
  • Fester reminisces on the Hyde he encountered being a beautiful woman named Olga Malacova. He was the perfect woman in Fester’s eye: Brains, beauty, and a penchant for necrophilia. He recalls meeting her in group electroshock therapy.
• Fester recalls stopping to visit Gomez at his dorm at Nevermore unannounced, when Gomez and Morticia were having a romantic evening.
  Fester: Let’s just say I wasn’t interrupting a pillow fight.
• Wednesday tells Fester that if he is discovered by the authorities, she will collect the reward tied to his capture. Fester commends Wednesday, expecting nothing less from his niece.
• Enid visits their dorm after moving out saying that she forgot. Without missing a beat, Wednesday dryly notes that Enid has used a forgetting something as an excuse to visit three times.
• Wednesday and Enid’s fight in their room about their annoying habits.
  Wednesday: You giggle when you text, which is a 24 hour addiction.
  Enid: Well, at least it’s not a migraine-inducing typewriter hammering into my head.
  Wednesday: When grinding your canines, you growl in your sleep.
  Enid: As opposed to late night cello solos.
  Wednesday: You over-committed to clubs and activities and complain about them non-stop.
  Enid: I’d take that over your obsession with all things creepy and dead.
  Wednesday: You could gas an entire village with the amount of perfume you spritz.
• Thing attacking Fester, and even giving him a wet willy.
• Fester’s ride is a stolen motorcycle for a Door to Door walking, complete with a dalmatian paint job, which he thinks is incognito.
• Wednesday saying she is almost at a half-hug phase to Doctor Kinbott.
• Fester eating ketchup right out of the bottle.
• Fester thinks that Tyler is spying on him, and is about to put him in a Romanian sleeper hold.
• Fester zapping Tyler when he shakes his hand.
• Fester being able to disappear whenever a person of authority comes around.
• Wednesday finds it ironic when Tyler says her family is quite colorful, as Fester is considered the black sheep of the family.
• Wednesday considers accepting a date with Tyler a quid pro quo for almost getting him disemboweled in the previous episode.
• Tyler's "picnic in a crypt" date with Wednesday, complete with a "scary movie:" Legally Blonde. And Wednesday actually seemed to enjoy herself.
  Wednesday: That was torture. Thank you.
  • Given "Perfect Day" by Hoku starts playing before the reveal of what the movie is, for anybody who instantly knows it's Legally Blonde based on the song alone, it's even funnier.
  • Even better is how Wednesday's eyes widen and her pupils shrink in absolute horror when she realizes what she and Tyler will be watching. Legally Blonde freaks her out more than anything else in the entire series.
• Wednesday being brutally honest about what it would be like to date her.
  Wednesday: I will ignore you, stomp on your heart, and always put my needs before you.
• Sheriff Galpin’s exasperated reaction to stumbling upon Wednesday and Tyler’s date.
  Sheriff: I am not even gonna ask what this is, but I never saw the two of you here.
• Wednesday telling Fester to steal a less conspicuous ride next time, though Fester says there’s no fun in that.
• After Festers tells her that she’s his favorite of his brother’s kids, Wednesday instructs him to tell Pugsley this, as it would give him a complex.
• When Enid offers her condolences about Xavier, Wednesday says she’s not sorry about it, since he is a liar and killer.
• The last line of the episode.
  Wednesday: Of course the first boy I kiss would turn out to be a psychotic serial-killing monster. I guess I have a type.

A Murder of Woes

• Enid picking up Wednesday’s creepy taxidermy squirrel, something she admits that she is actually going to miss waking up to.
• Doubles as Heartwarming in terms of Enid’s influence on Wednesday since they became roommates.
  Wednesday: Anytime I get nauseous at the sight of a rainbow or hear a pop song that makes my ears bleed, I’ll think of you.
  Enid: Thanks, I guess.
• Enid telling Thing to keep in touch and send her more makeup tutorials.
• Eugene is happy to hear that Wednesday visited him while he was in his coma, only for Wednesday to quickly tell him not to mention it again.
• Thornhill’s absolute shock when Tyler reveals himself to be Weems.
• Before Thing comes to warn them about Wednesday being in trouble, Enid and Ajax are making out and her claws accidentally come out again instinctively. Her face is priceless.
• Enid being annoyed that she's the only one not in the Nightshade Society when both Ajax and Thing know how to get in, especially when she learns that pretty much the rest of the supporting characters are members and the fact that they even have a secret snap.
• Enid’s ringtone for Eugene is Flight of the Bumblebee.
• Even as a werewolf, Enid still has her pink hair.
• There's something darkly hilarious about Laurel gushing to Joseph Crackstone, only for him to predictably be revealed as a misogynist with his response. It's the first crack in Laurel's smug demeanor.
  Laurel: Never meet your heroes.
