From Pugsley to Plot Holes: 10 Biggest Problems with Wednesday Season 2 Part 2
Netflix’s Wednesday season 2 part 2 has arrived, and a recent review laid out ten specific issues observed in those episodes. Below is a clear, fact-focused summary of those points and the concrete plot or production details that back them up.
- Wednesday’s coma and its short duration
- Gabrielle Barclay’s limited voice
- Morticia’s reduced role in part 2
- Hester Addams and prejudice in the plot
- Enid and Agnes’ dance sequence and viral intent
- Narrative ties between part 1 and part 2
- The Galpin family storyline
- The Enid–Wednesday separation and body-swap episode
10) Pugsley and Wednesday’s screen time
In part 2, Pugsley appears in relatively few scenes. Most of his on-screen moments are with Gomez or with Slurp (the zombie pet who later becomes an antagonist).
9) Enid and Bruno’s cheating subplot
Enid enters a romantic relationship with Bruno in part 2. In episode 7, the plot shows Bruno cheating on Enid with another girl. Later in the same episode, Enid and Bruno briefly reconcile before Enid ends the relationship again.
8) Wednesday’s coma and its short duration
Wednesday is briefly placed in a coma in part 2. The sequence depicting her unconscious state lasts only a short time within the episode, and the larger plot resumes soon after her recovery.
7) Gabrielle Barclay’s limited voice
Gabrielle Barclay is given a storyline involving past abuse by a cult leader and a loss of abilities. In part 2, Gabrielle has relatively few spoken lines and minimal on-screen agency compared with other characters in that subplot.
6) Morticia’s reduced role in part 2
Morticia appears in multiple scenes but several plot beats position her in more comedic or domestic situations. Part 2 also shows Morticia writing erotica in private, and some scenes treat that hobby as a secret from her family.
5) Hester Addams and prejudice in the plot
Hester Addams is depicted expressing disapproval of Gomez because he is a non-powered family member. The storyline includes references to punitive institutions for certain groups of characters within the Nevermore setting.
4) Enid and Agnes’ dance sequence and viral intent
Part 2 includes a choreographed dance between Enid and Agnes that resolves part of their conflict and exposes Principal Dort’s deception. The episode’s producers reused a dance-centered beat similar to the viral dance sequence from season 1.
Season 1’s dance to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” became a viral moment, and the new sequence in part 2 has been compared to that earlier clip. For reference, the season 1 dance clip was widely circulated on YouTube:
Additionally, Netflix’s ranking pages discussed Wednesday’s popularity; more details can be found on Netflix Tudum’s top 10 page.
3) Narrative ties between season 2 part 1 and part 2
Several plot threads set up in part 1 are not developed fully in part 2. For example, Augustus Stoneheart’s capturing of Outcasts (a plot point about transferring abilities) receives limited follow-up in later episodes. Also, a prophesied threat to Enid is resolved relatively quickly after being established in part 1.
2) The Galpin family storyline
Part 2 focuses on Isaac, Francois, and Tyler Galpin. Isaac has a complex relationship with both Francois and Tyler; Francois seeks a cure for Tyler’s condition, and Isaac is shown to have strong attachments to his sister Francois. The episodes present scenes of captivity and experimentation related to Francois’ backstory, but much of her emotional response to that history is shown in brief segments.
1) The separation of Enid and Wednesday
The body-swap episode in part 2 places Wednesday and Enid in each other’s bodies for a significant portion of the episode. That episode centers on their relationship, shows them taking actions to prevent a prophecy about Enid, and includes a final sequence in which Uncle Fester works with Wednesday to find Enid after Enid’s sacrifice to become a werewolf.
Regarding the possibility of a romantic outcome between Wednesday and Enid, showrunners have publicly stated that a romantic pairing is not planned. For the published statement, see this article.
Summary: the ten points above describe concrete plot beats, character screen time, and narrative choices observed in Wednesday season 2 part 2. Each item references on-screen events or publicly available statements and links where applicable.
