Aunt Ophelia in Wednesday season 2 may have already been 'unveiled' in part 1
Wednesday season 2, part 1 is currently available to stream on Netflix and Aunt Ophelia may have already made her debut in the new episodes The first part of Wednesday's second season is now available on Netflix, featuring the initial four episodes that follow Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) in the aftermath of losing her psychic abilities. As she delves into a string of mysterious deaths, Wednesday realises that the killer is always one step ahead, seemingly taunting her. Intriguingly, it seems the murderer, who was unveiled at the conclusion of the first four episodes, had managed to obstruct Wednesday's psychic powers. During a heart-to-heart with her mother, Morticia (played by Catherine Zeta Jones), Wednesday learns about her Aunt Ophelia, another family member with psychic abilities, who had spent some time at Willow Hill, reports the Express. READ MORE: Shows and films for Wednesday fans to binge including Jenna Ortega's 'masterpiece' thriller Morticia recounts how their mother, Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), had abandoned Aunt Ophelia in her hour of need. Determined not to repeat history, Morticia insists that Wednesday should abandon her pursuit, which explains her eagerness for Wednesday to let go of the chase. A new theory suggests that Aunt Ophelia might have made an unnoticed appearance in the fourth episode. When Uncle Fester paid a visit to Willow Hill in search of Ophelia years ago, he found that she had already vanished. At the episode's end, Wednesday stumbles upon the Long Term Outcast Integration Study - or LOIS for short - a clandestine programme. All the outcasts reported dead were actually being held captive, their deaths fabricated so they could be used as experimental subjects. Given Aunt Ophelia's potent psychic abilities that she struggled to control, she would have been an ideal candidate for experimentation. When Wednesday interacted with each of the outcasts, one woman with long brunette hair appeared to have a distinct reaction upon seeing her. This woman, who was questioning if Wednesday had come to kill her, seemed to establish a unique bond with Wednesday, who later assisted her in escaping from the facility. All signs point to this woman potentially being Wednesday's Aunt Ophelia and, now that she has regained her freedom, the pair might uncover their family ties. Wednesday season 2 part 1 is currently available on Netflix. Part 2 premieres on September 3.

‘Wednesday' S2: Who Is the Mystery Woman at the End of Part 1?
Wednesday season two part one has finally arrived on Netflix and while it has answered a lot of questions, such as who is Wednesday's stalker, it's also left us with some very pressing queries—namely, who is the mystery woman at the end of part one? During the fourth episode, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) uncovers a secret operation taking part in Willow Hill. It's called LOIS and was set up by one of the former teachers of Nevermore Academy and now run by his daughter Judi Spannegel (Heather Matarazzo). Wednesday, along with the ever reliable Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), head down the basement of Willow Hill, where they discover Judi has been keeping a number of Outcasts prisoners in order to conduct test on them and transfer their powers to Normies. Wednesday and Uncle Fester liberate the prisoners, and there's one woman who intrigues Wednesday and for whom she makes a special effort to escort out. Given the significance of these scenes it's likely this unknown woman is going to be a bigger characters in the next part of season two. But who is she? Here's all the theories we have so far. Throughout the season, Wednesday's Aunt Ophelia is mentioned a lot. She's the sister of Morticia and is a massive point of contention between Wednesday and her mother. As the season progresses we come to understand that Ophelia has been missing for the past 20 years and she shares a lot of similarities to Wednesday, including their shared psychic ability. Morticia frequently points out that just like her aunt, Wednesday is struggling to master her skills and Morticia is worried this could lead to the problems and breakdown that her sister faced. When the sisters were younger Ophelia pushed her psychic abilities too far and produced the same black tears Wednesday does and so her mother Hester (Joanna Lumley) sent her away to Willow Hill. But while the family assumes she is missing, could it be that she's actually been in the basement of Willow Hill all this time? There's a lot of clues to suggest so. Firstly, she's been missing for two decades. Maybe she hasn't been missing at all but in fact been kept prisoner, which is why she's never been seen or communicated with the family. We also know for sure that she was a patient at Willow Hill, with Uncle Fester also confessing to Wednesday Morticia had once asked him to break her out. However, he never did. Given how much emphasis the show has put on Aunt Ophelia as a character, the most likely explanation is she is the one who Wednesday finds and looks after at the end of season two part one. Another person some fans are theorizing the mystery woman is in fact Tyler's mother. During season one we learnt that Tyler (who is also a hyde) is the son of the Detective Galpin and Francoise Galpin, who was an outcast and a hyde. After giving birth to Tyler, Francoise went onto have postpartum depression which led to her hyde being released, and she was then locked up in Willow Hill. We're told that she then died in Willow Hill. However, now fans are theorizing that maybe she's more alive than previously thought. It's a very plausible theory given how much Detective Galpin was investigating LOIS. Perhaps he was suspicious of what happened to his wife all those years ago, and then when he got close to the truth that's why he was killed off by Judi and her crows. The series also puts a lot of emphasis on Tyler rejecting Miss Thornhill as a mother figure, with one of the final scenes between them being when Tyler says to her: 'You're not my mother, you're my master,' and maybe this is to open up the chance to reunite Tyler with his mother. There's also a small possibility that the mystery woman is neither of the characters, and is simply a red herring meant to throw the audience off. However, with everything being so intentionally thought out in Wednesday, we're doubtful she's a character who doesn't hold some significance to the overall plot. Wednesday season 2 part 1 is available on Netflix right now.

‘Wednesday' Season 2 Part 1: Is Wednesday Really Dead?
Contains major spoilers for Wednesday season 2! Wednesday season 2 part 1 has just dropped on Netflix and we may or may not have binged the first four hours in one sitting. And oh my god, we were not prepared for that major cliffhanger of an ending. The new season reunites us with the Addams family, led by Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) as she returns for a second year at outcast school Nevermore Academy. As the term progresses she unmasks her stalker, fights to save Enid's (Emma Myers) life, loses her psychic powers, and investigates a terrible scheme going on at local psychiatric hospital Willow Hill. And as episode four wraps up, we see Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) discover a secret bunker in Willow Hill called LOIS that has housed a number of outcasts believed to be dead, but instead they've actually been experimented on. As Wednesday and Uncle Fester release them, Tyler the Hyde (Hunter Doohan) is also released and goes on a rampage to find Wednesday. The episode ends with Tyler attacking Wednesday and throwing her out of a window, leaving her for dead. Wednesday can survive a lot, but could she be dead? Here's everything we know, ahead of the second drop of episodes in September. As the episode ends, it seems that Wednesday really is close to death. Tyler has left her with significant injuries and quite literally threw her out of a window. She then gives a voiceover essentially confirming her death, where she says: 'I've always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother's words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made things worse. Much worse.' However, the show is literally called Wednesday and has already been renewed for a third season, so from a practical point of view it makes zero sense to kill the character Wednesday off. And there's an ambulance on the way and we know her family has access to all kinds of powers that are likely to put a stop to death. We've also seen Wednesday overcome some pretty serious injuries in the past, so we have no doubt she's likely to make a full recovery. The last time Wednesday was close to death, it was after Wednesday was stabbed by Miss Thornhill (Christina Ricci). However, her spirit guide Goody sacrificed herself at the end of season 1, saving her life. Maybe this is the time for someone from beyond the grave to come and save her? We wouldn't be surprised, though, if we do get an episode told from Wednesday's point of view where she's temporarily exploring the underworld. Either way, we're 98% sure Wednesday is still alive. We'll find out for sure on 3rd September when the second batch of episodes drop.
