![]() ![]() It doesn't help that Rowan's ( Calum Ross) inhaler, Eugene's ( Moosa Mostafa) glasses, and Kinbott's necklace are all in his mysterious cabin. Given Xavier's sketchy painting of a slashed Kinbott, Wednesday is almost certain he's the Hyde. Valerie Kinbott, to manipulate students of Nevermore into wreaking havoc on the town that wronged her family. She believes Laurel didn't die in a drowning, but rather came back to Jericho, Vermont with the false identity of Dr. Wednesday then confronts Xavier in his woodsy art studio and accuses him of being the monster that killed Kinbott. Shortly after Wednesday leaves, Kinbott is attacked and murdered by the Hyde. She confronts Kinbott in her office, accusing her of being the vengeful Laurel Gates and unlocking Xavier as the Hyde. Wednesday believes that she has unraveled the mystery when she discovers the roses that Kinbott left by Eugene's bedside are the same variety that were in Laurel Gates' childhood bedroom. Faulkner studied them in order to determine if they were "just mindless killers or conscious of their actions." Weems explains to Wednesday that he died before he was able to answer that question. Heck, Hydes are so dangerous that they were even banned from Nevermore three decades ago. She couldn’t say anything because, if people knew that a Hyde was lurking, Nevermore would be shut down. Wednesday confronts her about withholding information, and Weems admits that she did know that the monster was a Hyde all along. But Weems isn't exactly innocent herself, and this becomes crystal clear by the end of the season. She went to school with Wednesday's parents and knows quite a bit about the Addams family's reputation. Kinbott?Īnd let’s not forget about Principal Weems ( Gwendoline Christie), one of the many people suspicious of Wednesday. Sure, he's been on Wednesday's side from the start, but he's also conveniently been right around the corner whenever the monster strikes. This only increases her suspicions of psychic classmate Xavier Thorpe ( Percy Hynes White), whom she has been skeptical of since day one. Faulkner’s research reveals that Wednesday not only has to track down the killer monster but its master. He quickly identifies the monster in question to be a Hyde, and leads Wednesday to Nathaniel Faulkner’s (Nevermore's founder) diary hidden in a vault in the Nightshades Library at her school. ![]() The arrival of Uncle Fester (perfectly played by Fred Armisen) in the penultimate episode of the family crime series really kicks the story into gear. The entire Gates family is believed to be long dead, with the Gates family line ending after Laurel, Garrett's younger sister, supposedly drowned overseas years ago (or did she?) Before we go down that sinister road, let's first break down the season's most pressing mystery: just what (and who) exactly is the Hyde? The Gates family were descendants of Jericho's outcast-hating founder, Joseph Crackstone ( William Houston). The more the season progresses, the more determined Wednesday is to unfurl the mystery, identify the monster, and - as if she doesn't have enough to deal with - clear her family's name for the murder of Garrett Gates ( Lewis Hayes), a normie who was obsessed with Morticia and once attempted to poison Nevermore's student body while a younger Gomez and Morticia were students at the time. Not too long after moving into Nevermore, Wednesday realizes she has psychic powers and begins to have startling visions of murders and attacks nearby. Wednesday is of course based on The Addams Family, the iconic characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938, though Wednesday, as the title suggests, focuses on our titular teenager.
