Without a doubt, the act of dropping piranhas into the pool of Nancy Reagan High School in the very first episode, titled "Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woe," is a serious offense. Consequently, it is understandable that Wednesday was expelled as a consequence. Remarkably, Wednesday's parents, Gomez and Morticia Addams, were able to persuade the parents of the affected boy not to press charges, but rather agree to transfer Wednesday to another school and require her to undergo therapy. However, it is undeniable that her actions were undeniably bold and impressive.

What made this scene particularly captivating was the skillful injection of humor throughout the entire incident. The image of Wednesday determinedly approaching her target, only to release comically enormous and ravenous fish into the pool, added an unexpected twist. This scene not only showcased Wednesday's resourcefulness, but also hinted at her underlying ability to empathize with others. Despite her outwardly prickly nature, it becomes clear that she genuinely cares for those in her life, as she takes revenge on her brother's tormentors.

9 Wednesday Beating The Bullies In The Weathervane Cafe

Wednesday, on her first day at Nevermore, sneaks out to the Weathervane Cafe and persuades Tyler to assist her in running away. While waiting for him, a group of young men from the town enter, dressed in pilgrim outfits, and approach Wednesday, attempting to intimidate her. This group belongs to a local historical park called Pilgrim World, which is owned and operated by Mayor Noble Walker. Wednesday cannot resist making sarcastic remarks about their inaccurate portrayal of history. Unbeknownst to her, the leader of the group is Lucas Walker, the mayor's son.

When the group continues to bully her, Wednesday fiercely retaliates. She skillfully incapacitates them with martial arts moves, leaving both them and the audience aware that she is not someone to be underestimated. However, this unexpected conflict unintentionally delays Wednesday's plan to escape. Headmistress Larissa Weems of Nevermore Academy eventually finds her. The consequences of Wednesday's actions become evident, as her defiance, though empowering, ultimately hinders her success in fleeing.

8 Wednesday's Rooftop Cello Performance Of "Paint It Black"

On Wednesday's first day at Nevermore Academy, she faces challenges such as losing a fencing match to Bianca, confiding in Enid about her vulnerabilities, and coping with the death of her classmate, Rowan. Despite these difficult experiences, Wednesday gradually realizes that her mother was right about her growing fondness for Nevermore. However, her extensive time spent in solitude makes her yearning to be a part of a community agonizing. This internal conflict is beautifully expressed through a captivating cello performance of the haunting classic "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones.

Ortega's impeccable performance enhances the authenticity and strengthens the seamless connection between the character and the instrument. As a result, Wednesday's rooftop cello performance serves as a creative outlet to convey her inner thoughts and profound emotions experienced at Nevermore. The combination of music, visuals, and Ortega's nuanced portrayal perfectly captures the complexity of Wednesday's journey and provides valuable insight into her personal growth and development. This scene exemplifies the show's dedication to remaining true to the character's essence while showcasing her innermost thoughts and emotions.

Wednesday fully embraces the unrestricted nature of the event and experiences the satisfaction of being part of a team for the first time.

6 Wednesday's Pilgrim Monologue

Principal Weems instructs Wednesday to work with the other students in town for Outreach Day in season 1, episode 3, titled "Friend Or Woe." Initially, Wednesday's task is to distribute fudge samples to a group of German-speaking tourists. While some may perceive this as a mundane duty, Wednesday views it as an opportunity to address the inaccuracies prevalent in Pilgrim World. She seizes the moment by delivering a flawless speech in German, effectively exposing the fictional premise of Pilgrim World.

Wednesday's strong desire to convey the truth is parallel to her aversion to serving customers. This provides yet another chance for her to showcase her knowledge while simultaneously revealing uncomfortable truths. She never hesitates to encounter trouble through these actions, as flaunting her knowledge and advocating for truth are integral parts of her enigmatic character. As a result, her reputation as a provocateur continues to solidify, garnering both admiration and exasperation. Wednesday never shies away from stirring up controversy, as she lives according to her own set of rules and principles, regardless of the conflicts it may cause with authority.

5 Wednesday Being Protective Over Eugene

During Outreach Day at Pilgrim World, Eugene indulges in an excessive amount of fudge, causing him to vomit over the very bullies who previously harassed Wednesday at The Weathervane Cafe.

Worried, Wednesday hastily rushes into the woods and arrives just in the nick of time to witness the monster claw at Eugene. With quick thinking, she manages to get Eugene to the hospital in time, where he eventually makes a full recovery after a few days in a coma.

4 Wednesday Solving The Murder Of Garret Gates

During Nevermore's chaotic parents' weekend in season 1, episode 5, "You Reap What You Woe," Wednesday finds herself embroiled in a complex murder mystery. Back when Gomez and Morticia attended Nevermore, Gomez faced accusations of murdering a boy named Garrett Gates. This old case resurfaces when the coroner, who was about to retire, is discovered dead. In a note, he confesses to falsifying paperwork in the Garrett Gates case and takes his own life out of guilt. Seeing this as evidence of Gomez's guilt, the sheriff promptly arrests him.

Regrettably, Wednesday's actions inadvertently hinder her attempts to vindicate her father. While snooping around the morgue the night before, she had covered the security camera with black bubblegum. Consequently, Gomez is unjustly imprisoned, leaving Wednesday burdened by guilt and determined to exonerate him. In a moment of triumph, Wednesday and her mother provide evidence that Garrett actually died from self-poisoning.

3 Wednesday Helped Save Thing's Life

Wednesday's second date with Tyler in "If You Don't Woe By Now," proves to be a more relaxed and optimistic experience compared to the dance. However, tragedy strikes when Thing is viciously attacked and stabbed, serving as a chilling warning for Wednesday to stop her relentless snooping. Determined to save Thing, Wednesday takes him to the beekeeping house where her Uncle Fester resides temporarily. Using his unique ability with electricity, Uncle Fester acts as a human AED, but initially fails to revive Thing. In a desperate plea, Wednesday tearfully threatens to kill Thing unless he returns to life. Responding to her emotions, Uncle Fester tries once again, and this time successfully brings Thing back to life. Wednesday quickly tends to the wounded creature, stitching him up, and he soon recovers. Rather than instilling fear or discouraging her, this attack on Thing only strengthens Wednesday's resolve to solve the case. It becomes evident that nothing will deter her from uncovering the secrets that endanger her loved ones.

2 Wednesday's Defeat Of Joseph Crackstone

In season 1, episode 8, titled "A Murder of Woes," Wednesday finally uncovers the truth behind the mysterious happenings in Nevermore. She discovers that her seemingly ordinary teacher, Marilyn Thornhill, is actually Laurel Gates, the sister of Garret Gates, and she is in control of the Hyde. The Gates family are descendants of the Crackstones, and Laurel is determined to carry out their ancestral mission of eliminating outcasts. After Garret's failure, Laurel takes it upon herself to continue the family's sinister work. In a shocking turn of events, Laurel kills Principal Weems and successfully resurrects the long-deceased Joseph Crackstone. Crackstone immediately attacks Wednesday, leaving her near death.

As Wednesday lies dying, the spirit of Goody Addams, an original outcast who ultimately killed Crackstone, appears and heals Wednesday's mortal wound. With renewed strength, Wednesday pursues Laurel and the undead Crackstone, determined to put an end to their evil plans. Enid supports her friend by transforming into a werewolf and battling the Hyde, who is revealed to be Tyler.
