Wednesday season 1 created a bit of a problem with Enid's season 1 story, but season 2 has some room to fix it. Wednesday Addams' perky werewolf roommate quickly became a fan favorite within the Netflix series, and her ending was a key moment of celebration within the story. Enid finally "wolfed out" in Wednesday season 1's ending, becoming a fully-fledged werewolf just as her family had wanted. However, the parallels previous episodes made between Endi's story and real-world family dynamics made this character's big transformation a little disted.

Throughout accept her for who she was in Wednesday season 1, but this didn't amount to much since Enid's family got what they wanted in the end anyway.

The Metaphor Behind Enid "Wolfing Out" In Wednesday Season 1 Doesn't Quite Work

Wednesday's Ending Dropped A Meaningful Opportunity To Connect To Audiences

Enid's family wanted to send her to a camp that would make her "better," which is an all too relatable situation for many teens and adults who weren't accepted by their parents. There's a clear parallel here between the werewolf camp and real-world conversion therapy, which dangerously aims to turn gay individuals straight. Enid's decision to accept herself and put her foot down with her parents furthered the impact of this metaphor. However, the fact that Enid ended up "turning" at the end of Wednesday season 1 tossed this meaningful story right out the window.

Enid Learning To Be More Confident Becomes Redundant In Wednesday Season 1's Finale

Wednesday Season 2 Can Backpedal On Enid's Story

The trajectory of Enid's story through most of Wednesday season 1 should have resulted in her learning to make a difference and help Wednesday precisely as she was. She was learning to accept herself and develop confidence, and it seemed as if this would lead to her realizing that she could be a lethal force and protect her friends with only her claws, no need to "wolf out" entirely. The fact that Enid had to become a full wolf like her parents wanted before she could make a real difference made her development completely redundant, but Wednesday season 2 can still set this right.

The trajectory of Enid's story through most of Wednesday season 1 should have resulted in her learning to make a difference and help Wednesday precisely as she was.

Enid was able to "wolf out" when her friends needed her, but it would be more impactful going into Wednesday season 2 if she returned to her more limited abilities as a werewolf. She could have another conversation with her family about what she experienced, in which she would explain that she accepts her form and ability, regardless of what it is. Then, when the next big conflict comes up, Enid should handle it in a way that is uniquely her. Perhaps she will discover a form that is something between a full wolf and her more human form. Regardless, Enid must stand out as precisely who she is on Wednesday, not what others want her to be.

Wednesday season 2 is expected in 2025.
