Eugene is in a coma and his parents are worried about him. Wednesday tells Enid that Eugene is in a coma and she feels guilty for what she did to him.
Enid is not excited to see her family, she is dreading her mother’s judgmental personality because she is yet to wolf out. She and Wednesday hope to get through the weekend and be done with the forced family togetherness. They are not the only ones who find the weekend a bit taxing, Xavier’s dad is a no-show and Bianca’s mom showed up to create more problems. She is threatening Bianca to come back home and help her and swindle people using their powers.
The parents of Wednesday attend a family therapy session with Dr. Kinbott over the weekend. The principal tells them about the issues she has been having with Wednesday and asks them to attend. Morticia is against the idea but Gomez is up for it.
The sheriff drives to town for the session and he is spotted by the coroner who thinks that Gomez is a murderer who got free using underhand methods. Tyler tells him that at least Gomez cares enough to go to therapy with Wednesday and they get into an argument. The sheriff doesn’t want to go for a family therapy session with Tyler and it is causing friction between them. As he leaves the cafe, the sheriff gets a call that the coroner has committed suicide.
Dr Kinbott and the family discuss how they have been coping since Wednesday left for Nevermore. They all agree her absence has been tough on them. Wednesday, however, is not feeling inclined to talk about her emotions she wants to discuss her father’s criminal records.
Garrets Gates was a prominent figure in the community and Wednesday was accused of killing him. Morticia ends the session and refuses to tell Wednesday the truth. Wednesday tells her that she will still get to the bottom of the issue but she drops by the hospital to visit Eugene first.
At the coroner’s office, officers discover a suicide note in which the doctor states that he felt guilty for writing a fake coroner’s report in an old case. The sheriff is pleased to hear that the fake report involves Garrett Gates’ case and thinks he can finally put Gomez behind bars. With the new evidence, he goes to Nevermore and arrests Gomez. ..
Wednesday visits her dad in the holding cell and asks him for an explanation. Her dad tells her that Garret was obsessed with Morticia when they were young. On that fateful night, he attacked Gomez after finding him kissing Morticia and one thing led to another and he accidentally killed him. Wednesday doesn’t believe her dad as she knows all his tell-tale signs when he is lying.
Wednesday is curious about what happened to the family and the sheriff tells her they all died. Wednesday is sad none of the Gates’ family members is around to see it. Wednesday wants to know what could have caused their deaths and why it took so long for justice to be served.
Wednesday confronts her mother and asks her why she sent her to a school that can only allow her to exist in her shadow. Morticia confesses that she accidentally stabbed him while trying to save Gomez. As she narrates the ordeal, Wednesday realizes that maybe Garrett was acting irrationally because he was poisoned.
Gomez and Morticia dig up Garrett’s body and find traces of poison in his system. They are arrested before they can report the poisoning to the authorities. In the holding cell, Gomez and Morticia are reunited with Wednesday, who has a vision that reveals what happened to Garrett. His father gave him nightshade poison to kill the students at Nevermore, but during his fight with Gomez the vial broke and the poison was absorbed into his body. ..
Wednesday and Morticia demand to meet with the mayor after learning he was involved in the cover-up of Gomez’s murder. They threaten to out his participation in the cover-up if he doesn’t drop the charges, and the mayor has no choice but to agree. Gomez is set free and the sheriff apologizes to him.
Morticia asks Wednesday about her visions and assures her that she is always there for her. Wednesday asks her to teach her to control her powers but Morticia tells her only the dead from their bloodline can train her. Wednesday tells her about Goody and Morticia asks her to be careful as Goody was a powerful witch pushed by vengeance. ..
As the family weekend wraps up, Enid finds the strength to tell her mother that she won’t be going to the conversion camps her mom suggested. She stands up for herself and says she will transition in her own time and hopes her mom can accept her even when she doesn’t. Her dad is proud of her and tells her to do as she wishes but his mom is disappointed.
Wednesday confides in Morticia that she is a shapeshifter and that she killed Rowan. Morticia confirms this theory and leaves Wednesday with her old yearbook.
Wednesday threatens to go to the sheriff but the principal stops her and tells her that Rowan’s dad will back her up. She also tells her going to the sheriff will be the end of Nevermore. As they argue they hear a ruckus outside; someone has left a burning message on the school’s lawn. The message reads “Fire will rain.”
The Episode Review
Wednesday’s softer side was evident in her conversation with her brother about their parents’ love for each other. This episode also showed us the connection between the Garret case and the current killings that are happening in town. ..
Enid standing up for herself was a proud moment. Sometimes parents don’t really know what is good for their kids, and Enid did exactly that. ..
Bianca is being threatened by her own mother to do shady business for her stepfather. She is unable to protect herself from her mother and that is sad but hopefully, she will find her freedom.
