‘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.

The most alluring beauty moments of Wednesday Season 2 come from the Addams matriarch
Here we woe again. At Nevermore Academy, class is back in session. The school break was longer than it usually is, but nothing works like it should in the world of Wednesday Addams. As we'll have it, our favourite chaos crew of Outcasts have come back for more mayhem and mystery, bringing back its returning rotation of characters, amid new additions. For Season 2 of Wednesday, Tim Burton expands his imaginary world, bringing back his seminal cast, of Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guizmán, Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan—so we can all expect bloodletting hours ahead as we binge through the first four episodes of the second season. To bring the full fantasy to life, a few facets have fallen into place. Like the incredible set of Nevermore, the eccentric characters and various types of species, and of course, the brilliant costuming and signature makeovers that have been done to transform the cast into their on-screen characters. Take Enid for example, which sees Myers adopt her signature rainbow-hued palette, but this time with a little more spunk and confidence—a showcase of how she's grown into her own after finally being able to 'wolf out' towards the ending of Season 1. Then there's Bianca high-shine pout, one she definitely carries from the first season, all the way through. Yet it is the matriarchs of the Addams family that have really stolen our attention. There's new face Joanna Lumley who plays Wednesday's grandmother Hester Frump, a mortuary mogul with just the right amount of gothic sass—in part delivered through her wispy, towering updo. Then there is Morticia Addams herself; a divine soul of the shadows, with her sleek, lengthy black tresses, stark dove-like mien and vampy lips. Behold, some of the best beauty looks from Wednesday Season 2 so far. Courtesy of Netflix 1 / 8 The queen of shadows Morticia Addams will reign. Her silky black tresses set against those utterly defined cheekbones casts her in a regality like no other. Courtesy of Netflix 2 / 8 Summer glow-up Post-school break and wolf camp, Enid returns to Nevermore that much more assured. That vivacious personality is going nowhere, and her signature rainbow-streaked blonde mane returns with a little more curls and bounce in them. Between her colourful manicure do and her inner eye corners enlivened with a magenta hue, there's nothing that's stopping her from being Wednesday's ultimate side-kick again. Courtesy of Netflix 3 / 8 A throne of gray The real besties of the show? Wednesday Addams and her grandmother, Hester Frump. Bonding with Wednesday over all things morbid and macabre, she is the very epitome of Outcast wisdom, wearing her years in a wispy, gravity-defying mane—pulled back and sculpted to reveal her own signature lip, a darker matted plum compared to the sharp, vampy lip of her own daughter, Morticia. Courtesy of Netflix 4 / 8 Like mother, like daughter As she watches over her daughter, Morticia takes on the idea of camping out in the woods in style, bringing out her own brand of gothic. Top hat in tow, she pairs her motherly countenance with a pair of braids, much like the one that's become a signature of her daughter's. Courtesy of Netflix 5 / 8 The darkness awaits As for the star of the show? Still allergic to most colours, she defines her eye line with dark shadows and wears a deep purple pout—still a far way from her own mother's defined hue. Courtesy of Netflix 6 / 8 Hypnotic siren Bianca Barclay is still very much in the know when it comes to what goes down at Nevermore, and the siren shows exactly how she can enchant the crowd with her signature blue eyes and high-shine pout. Courtesy of Netflix 7 / 8 Vampy close-up Her sharp vampy lip a stark contrast to her pale mien, it's her dark shadows that really steal the show, with her lengthy, volumised lashes. Courtesy of Netflix 8 / 8 Not quite an Addams Wednesday has some major fans (and stalkers) ever since saving Nevermore, and Agnes wears it on her sleeve with her copycat braids. Yet her micro bangs are an auto tell, as she keeps the rest of her countenance kept minimal and natural.

As promised by the makers, Wednesday season 2 is not wasting any time and giving fans a thrilling story that they have waited for nearly three years. Part 1 of the new season was released on Netflix on August 6. Just four episodes in, the show pulled back the curtains on its first big villain, leaving fans surprised with the twist that they did not see coming. The new villain is none other than Judi Spannegel, played by Heather Matarazzo, the cheerful assistant at Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility, an asylum for Outcasts. Behind her friendly smile and chirpy self, Judy has been secretly controlling a deadly flock of crows. Spoiler Alert Season 2 of Wednesday begins with Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, going in full-on detective mode, trying to solve yet another mystery. This time, she is trying to protect her werewolf best friend and roommate, Enid Sinclair, played by Emma Mayers, who has been threatened by someone. Moreover, a series of strange deaths takes place near the campus of Nevermore Academy, which are caused by the murder of crows. These events led Wednesday to investigate who is behind. Her quest to find the culprit takes her to Willow Hill, where Tyler Galpin, played by Hunter Doohan, the villain and secret metamorphosing Hyde from season 1, is now being kept. She immediately becomes suspicious of the asylum's smiling 'normie" director, Dr. Rachael Fairburn, played by Thandiwe Newton. On her suspicion list is also the new Nevermore music teacher, Isadora Capri, who all has a connection to the asylum. Despite her suspicions, Wednesday herself couldn't have guessed that the person behind the mysterious deaths was Judi. Why Is Judi Spannegel On A Murderous Spree In Wednesday Season 2? In episode four of season 2 of the Netflix show, it is revealed that Judi Spannegel was the mysterious 'avian" who was controlling the murder of crows. And she is not just the assistant at Willow Hill, but also the daughter of its former chief psychiatrist and Nevermore's ex-science teacher, Augustus Stonehurst. He used to run illegal experiments to steal powers from the Outcasts, who are beings with supernatural abilities. While he couldn't gain control of their abilities, Judi did, and she continued with his work. She kept on working in secret beneath the hospital, carrying forward her father's twisted legacy. The episode sees Wednesday and her quirky Uncle Fester, played by Fred Armisen, rescuing all the Outcasts who were being held underground. But things quickly get out of hand. The inmates start rebelling, with Tyler even killing his former controller, Marilyn Thornhill, played by Christina Ricci. Then he goes after Wednesday, throwing her out of a second-story building. Her fate is left uncertain as the screen fades to black. Who Is Heather Matarazzo, Playing Judi Spannegel? Judi Spannegel, the villain in Part 1 of the Wednesday season, is played by actress Heather Matarazzo. This marks her big return to the screen. She is best known for her roles in Welcome to the Dollhouse and The Princess Diaries. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
