"Our episode begins with Wednesday behaving hilariously and suspiciously un-Wednesday-like, boppily dancing in sparkle platforms and a rainbow sweater to the tune of "Boombayah." Enid's voice-over asks us to admit that "this is the Wednesday Addams you didn't know you needed." I don't know if I'd go that far, but before I can argue, we are flashing back 16 hours and 36 minutes earlier to explain how exactly we got here."
"In Principal Dort's office, Wednesday gets to say "I told you so" to Principal Dort and the sheriff; Enid doesn't even get a seat. We learn Judi has "been reported missing" (RIP). No one feels secure in the maternal pact Morticia made with Francoise. The sheriff threatens to arrest Morticia on account of aiding and abetting a murderer, but Gomez points out that these clowns (the cops) abandoned Nevermore to protect Normies at Pilgrim World."
"Spirit Weems pulls Wednesday aside and slow-claps her failure, spelling it out for her charge: Wednesday has to resolve her issues with her mom, or her powers won't come back. Oh, and her visions - which I guess Weems has access to even though Wednesday does not? - still show Enid dying and it being Wednesday's fault. Weems warns Wednesday that her lack of empathy is a WEAKNESS."
Wednesday unexpectedly dances in sparkle platforms and a rainbow sweater to 'Boombayah,' then the timeline flashes back sixteen hours earlier. In Principal Dort's office, Wednesday taunts authorities while Enid is excluded, and the group learns Judi has been reported missing. Morticia faces accusations of aiding a murderer, and Gomez criticizes the police for abandoning Nevermore to protect Normies. Principal Dort obsesses over the Gala and imposes a curfew. Spirit Weems warns that Wednesday must resolve issues with her mother to restore her powers and reveals visions that still show Enid dying and Wednesday bearing blame. Professor Orloff provides background on Francoise's family.
