Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday Addams has evolved over nearly three years since the show's inception. In the latest development, Wednesday has confronted her psychic powers, which surprisingly have not hindered her as anticipated. Instead, they have led her to confront a kidnapper known as the Kansas City Scalper. Although her powers are becoming problematic, especially as they manifest in emotional ways, Wednesday remains secretive about her struggles. The show is set in Nevermore, Vermont, with hints about its geographical connections to the iconic Addams family mansion in New Jersey.
Wednesday spent her summer getting a grip on those psychic powers, which we were warned would be the death of her but have actually caused her literally zero problems so far. The most interesting possibility they offered - that we would get to watch Wednesday learn to control them - has, evidently, taken place offscreen.
After using these abilities to locate and take down the Kansas City Scalper, she starts to cry black tears when trying to use her superpowers. She does not tell anyone about that, especially not her mom.
In Netflix time, it's been exactly one summer. I look forward to watching the students of Nevermore age in the tradition of the Stranger Things children; the showrunners have said they want seven (!) seasons of this series.
Nevermore is in Vermont - Jericho is a real place there: Who knew?! - but I believe we can confirm that Wednesday must live in the real Addams family mansion (location: Westfield, New Jersey) because to get to Kansas City.
