Wednesday Mid-Season Premiere Recap: Unfortunate Son
"In accordance with my Inviolable Rules of Television Health and Medicine, fair Wednesday has emerged with only the tiniest, delicate scratches on her otherwise unmarred face after her harrowing night at Willow Hill - where, to review, she discovered the "LOIS" program was a Dr. Moreau-style prison in which rare Outcasts, whose deaths were faked by Judi's dad, Augustus Stonehearst, were kept and experimented on."
"While comatose, Wednesday has a vision: It's Principal Weems, her spirit guide! Turns out they're 13th cousins (spooky number!). Wednesday is not thrilled, but according to Weems, no one in the afterlife was really signing up for this gig. Weems, apparently gunning for my job, recaps Wednesday's latest exploits and troubles: She's lost her psychic ability, lied to Enid, and, per my previous email, freed the homicidal Tyler from his chains."
Wednesday emerges from a traumatic night at Willow Hill with only delicate scratches while the LOIS program is revealed as a Dr. Moreau-style prison where Outcasts were kept and experimented on. Several Outcasts, including Slurp, Uncle Fester, Tyler, and an unidentified woman, are freed and two staff members, Dr. Fairburn and Thornhill, are killed. Wednesday falls into a coma and experiences a vision of Principal Weems, who identifies as her spirit guide and 13th cousin, and recounts that Wednesday lost her psychic ability after abusing her powers. Judi claims most escaped patients were recaptured, while Fester, Slurp, and Tyler remain at large; a hired killer has been eliminating LOIS patients, though Patient 1938 remains unlocated.
