Who Is Wednesday's Stalker in Season 2 Part 1?
Contains spoilers for Wednesday season 2, part 1. As Wednesday has been away from our screens for nearly three, we've had a lot of time to consider who Wednesday's stalker could be. Is it Xavier? One of her parents? Or maybe even bestie Enid? Well it's a no to all three, as season two just dropped on Netflix on 6 August and gave us the answer we've been waiting a long time for. ICYMI at the end of season 1 of the Netflix hit, after Wednesday had saved the school and got Tyler locked away, she began to get sent threatening messages on the phone Xavier gave to her as a present. And when she returns to school for another term in season 2, part 1, it's revealed that she's continued to receive threats and stalking messages over the summer. Things continued to ramp up as school began, with her stalker stealing her manuscript, and even kidnapping Enid. Thankfully Wednesday managed to save Enid (and her new werewolf love interest), when the stalker then revealed themselves. So who is it? Here's what you need to know. New student Agnes is revealed to be Wednesday's stalker in episode two, 'The Devil You Woe.' After kidnapping Enid and Bruno, Agnes, who can turn invisible, sets up a series of clues for Wednesday to follow which leads her to clock tower and a set of knives slowing making their way towards a terrified Enid and Bruno. She solves the final clue by figuring out which book was missing from the pile, which was of course The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Within a nano-second Enid and Bruno are saved, and that's when Agnes reveals herself. She tells Wednesday she had done all the stalking acts in order to impress Wednesday and become her friend. However, some fans are theorizing that Agnes may not be the true stalker and is working for a larger character at play. This could work given the stalking threats began before the term started and Agnes wasn't yet at the school (that we know of). Agnes is played by Evie Templeton, a 16-year-old British actress who made her on-screen debut in an episode of Life After Life in 2022. Since then she's starred in a horror movie called Lord of Misrule and voiced the character of Laura in the video game Silent Hill 2. Evie's role in Wednesday was announced last year and executive producer and director Tim Burton has since praised her performance in the series, telling Tudum: 'What Evie brought to it was very, very strong and she comes across like a stalker, but she's also got this deep emotional quality to her, and a vulnerability to her, and a mystery to her, and she's embodying all those different things in one character. I love working with people that surprise you, and she definitely did that. She's got a very, very, very strong presence.' He also revealed Evie will be back for part two of season two and is very much a fixture of Nevermore Academy now. We can't wait to see more of her! Wednesday season 2 part 1 is available on Netflix now.

Who Is Wednesday's Stalker In Season 2?
This article contains spoilers. There's not much that can get passed Wednesday Addams, and season two, part one proves to be no exception. Since the release of the latest season on August 6, we've been transported back into the mystical world of Nevermore Academy's finest. Early in the season, it's clear that someone is stalking Wednesday, though it doesn't take long for her to unravel the mystery. After sending anonymous cryptic letters that detail an unhealthy obsession with her, as well as photographs, the stalker's actions intensify when they kidnap and nearly kill Enid. By the second episode we learn that the stalker is none other than Agnes (Evie Templeton), whose obsession with Wednesday began the previous year at Nevermore Academy after she saved the school from a demon at the end of season one. Following this, Wednesday quickly rises as one of Nevermore's most popular students, due to her exceptional abilities. But if there's one thing she hates more than colour, it's unwanted attention and being put on a pedestal. Agnes is an outcast who has the power to turn invisible. It's this ability that enabled her to trick Enid in the second episode, so much so, that only Wednesday could figure out the cryptic mystery. The answer? A missing book: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells – fitting, given Agnes' talent for going unseen. Once Wednesday uncovers the misplaced book, Agnes eventually releases Enid and Bruno, insisting that it was a harmless joke for Prank Day that she orchestrated in the hopes of impressing Wednesday. Understandably, no one is accepting of Agnes' answer given the extreme harm and danger that the 'prank' put not only Enid in, but also Wednesday and Bruno. Nevertheless, Wednesday decides to befriend her stalker – whether it is to keep her enemy closer is yet to be revealed. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Book Review: Jason Mott's ‘People Like Us' explores the struggles of semi-fame and American identity
How does one follow up writing 'A Hell of a Book' that wins the National Book Award? If you're Jason Mott, you write a sort-of, not-really, by all legal terms fictionalized — according to the forward — autobiographical story about what life is like as a semi-famous writer. Or actually you write two viewpoints: one about a writer running away from his roots that seem to be choking the life out of him and the other about a writer running to help soothe the roots that made him. The first, a middle-aged man who wrote said award-winning novel, is constantly misrecognized because writers, even award winning ones, don't have status like film stars. Sometimes he goes along with it and he agrees with them, for good reason; there is safety in being someone else. The second is a man who can't seem to outrun what it means to be American or a stalker who threatened to kill him, both showing up, often when least expected. This makes man No. 2 run not only from death and America but to seek out purchasing a gun, because his fame isn't able to protect him. This novel, reminiscent of 'The Invisible Man' and the works of Colson Whitehead and Ta-Nehisi Coates, has an inquisitive stance on things like time travel, sea monsters, death of loved ones and guns, and what each can do to a man, especially those who seem to be the referential mouthpiece of what it means to be an American today. One man meanders through Minnesota, offering support to the masses through speaking engagements. The other lands what seems to be a dream job in 'Europeland.' Through old memories, the drudgery of book tours, the never ending 'what's next' endlessly questioning their creativity, both imagine what could be and what could have been. The flipping between the two men's viewpoints of the world and what it can offer is humorous one moment and tugs at the right heartstrings the next. This roller coaster ride filled with quips and wordplay personalizes some of the most tragic moments in America's recent history. The tragedy and pain through this never ending climb to make sense of all that has come before, and all that will come after, is 'like Sisyphus, a man who never misses leg day.' Filled with highlightable quotes and moments that make you stop and look around to see if anyone else is experiencing what you're reading, Mott's 'People Like Us' echoes the pain and mystery of where life leads, the choices it hands us and the hope and desire for change. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. ___ AP book reviews:
