Unexpected Twist: Shocking Revelation Teases Resurrection of Beloved Character in Season 2

With the confirmation of Wednesday season 2 by Netflix, there is a potential for the return of a deceased character. It is common for shows to subtly foreshadow future seasons or establish plot points, even if they are uncertain about their renewal status. Although this can be disappointing if a show gets canceled, it ultimately enhances the coherence of renewed seasons by providing opportunities to build up and resolve various elements. In the case of Wednesday's season 1 finale, there may be a subtle hint that could easily go unnoticed.

Netflix's Wednesday revolves around a diverse group of individuals, led by the eponymous character Wednesday Adams (played by Jenna Ortega), as she embarks on her first semester at Nevermore Academy. As she navigates her new environment, Wednesday becomes entangled in a quest to unravel a monstrous dilemma plaguing the school, all while grappling with the enigmatic nature of her newfound prophetic visions. Additionally, she must navigate her unconventional family dynamic, with appearances from her mother, father, brother, uncle, and the ever-present butler, Lurch (portrayed by George Burcea). Complicating her detective work is the need to establish a harmonious relationship with the headmaster, Principal Weems (portrayed by Gwendoline Christie).

Lurch's Eyes Are Different In Wednesday's Season 1 Finale

In the final few scenes of Wednesday season 1, eagle-eyed viewers may notice a subtle mystery that could be explored in future seasons. When Lurch drops off Wednesday at school, his eyes appear to be a pale gray or blue color. However, when he brings her home later, his eyes are noticeably darker.

There are several possible explanations for Lurch's eye change on Wednesday. One possibility is that it was simply a continuity error during production. Another explanation could be that the color change is part of a unique tradition or habit of Lurch's in the Adams family, where he swaps out his eyes. This idea makes sense considering Lurch's resemblance to Frankenstein, and it could add an interesting and eerie character trait. However, the shot showing Lurch's shifted eye color also aligns with Wednesday's statement that "not all threads are tied up." This suggests that there may be more to this situation than initially meets the eye.

How Weems Could Have Survived In Wednesday Season 2

In an unexpected turn of events, Principal Weems, who typically clashes with Wednesday and Nevermore's administrator, puts aside their differences to assist the Adams' daughter in her quest to capture the menacing creature that poses a threat to both the town and Nevermore Academy. However, their confrontation with Ms. Thornhill, also known as Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), the mastermind behind the monstrous attacks, takes a tragic turn as Weems loses his life and Wednesday is abducted. Unbeknownst to everyone, Weems's true nature may be more elusive and cunning than initially believed.

Several of the mysteries surrounding Wednesday's events involve Principal Weems, who is revealed to be a shapeshifter with the ability to impersonate other characters. It is plausible that Principal Weems survived the attack from Ms. Thornhill and is now posing as Lars in the car that transported Wednesday home after the semester. However, since Weems may not have a detailed understanding of Lurch's appearance, her portrayal of his eyes might be inaccurate.

What Role Principal Weems Could Have In Wednesday Season 2

If Principal Weems managed to survive her ordeal in season 1 of Wednesday, her continued presence could foreshadow what's in store for season 2. The fact that she has chosen to remain "dead" rather than reveal her survival suggests that she may have lingering suspicions about future threats targeting her students. Operating from the shadows, Weems could potentially serve as a covert operative, returning to the school with new schemes for the students to thwart. Alternatively, she could act as a lookout and alert Wednesday if Tyler (Hunter Doohan) were to reappear on school grounds. Moreover, she might even come to Wednesday and her friends' rescue in times of need.
