The Biggest Things to Remember from the 'Wednesday' Season 1 Finale
This story was originally published on Nov. 22, 2022. Beware of spoilers below. Netflix has found a new hit in Wednesday, a Tim Burton-directed series based on Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega. The universe of the kooky and spooky Addams family is rich and iconic, but the new show has expanded it into a world of 'outcasts,' or people with supernatural connections and powers. They stand in contrast to the 'normies,' or regular people who populate the town close to Wednesday's boarding school, Nevermore Academy. Season 1 covers Wednesday's first year at Nevermore and a series of mysterious murders in the area. In the final episode, her investigation of the crimes brings about some harsh conclusions. Episode 8 begins with Wednesday confronting townie and alleged normie, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). The young pigtailed goth has been experiencing visions throughout the season which show her glimpses of a person's future and all their dark secrets. When she and Tyler kissed in the previous episode, she saw that he was a 'Hyde'—a type of baddie that seems to be based on the idea of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a scientist who was both a man and a monster. After discovering her love interest is likely the local killer, Wednesday enlists her friends in kidnapping and torturing him, but they balk at the idea. After Wednesday's plans are ruined and she gets expelled from Nevermore, Tyler gives her a speech about his evil machinations. But he's not actually the mastermind behind the killings. The question remains: Who is controlling Tyler? Wednesday visits her bug-loving friend Eugene, who is in the hospital after an attack. He reveals that he saw someone wearing red boots during his assault, which is a major clue for Wednesday: The culprit is Nevermore teacher Marylin Thornhill (Christina Ricci). All through the season, Ms. Thornhill has made a point of buddying up to Wednesday, but it was all a ruse after all. Her real name is Laurel Gates, and she has been planning her revenge against the Addams family for years. When Wednesday confronts Thornhill, she learns that the plant-loving teacher has been using her herbal concoctions to bring out Tyler's Hyde side and told him about his own mother's fate as a Hyde. Then Tyler appears again, and Thornhill says he'll 'do anything' for her. Except it's not really Tyler. It's Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie) using her shape-shifting powers. Throughout the series, Wednesday has butted heads with Weems, who cares deeply about Nevermore's reputation and the safety of her outcast students. After the fake Tyler transforms back to into Weems, she is stabbed with nightshade poison and dies right in front of Wednesday's eyes. The teen is then clapped in the head with a shovel. Thornhill's plan goes far beyond tormenting Wednesday. She wants to resurrect Joseph Crackstone, whose coffin was cursed by Wednesday's magical ancestor Goody Addams. Crackstone was a zealot who hated and feared the outcasts and planned to kill them all. Thornhill is totally for this, of course, and she uses Wednesday's blood to open up his tomb and release him into the world once more. As Wednesday bleeds out, Thornhill brings her big plan into fruition and a haggard Crackstone appears and starts wreaking havoc at Nevermore. Before it's too late, the spirit of Goody Addams appears and heals Wednesday, before sending her off to put Crackstone back in his grave. Wednesday is confronted once again by Tyler's Hyde in the woods, but her roommate Enid (Emma Myers) finally manages to 'wolf out' and transform into a werewolf to protect her bestie. Wednesday gets away and manages to stab Crackstone's resurrected form in the heart with a shard of a special sword, killing him. Thornhill also gets her comeuppance and gets swarmed by Eugene's bees. It's not totally clear if she dies, but Wednesday sure gives her a big kick to the head, blacking her out from the scene. Wednesday then reunites with the rest of her friends, Bianca (Joy Sunday), Xavier (Percy Hynes White), and Enid—whom she finally embraces after rejecting hugs all season. The story finishes up with Wednesday completing her novel on her typewriter with the phrase 'THE END?' She also receives a phone as a gift from Xavier, who competed against Tyler for her affections. As she drives away from Nevermore with Lurch and Thing, Wednesday receives several threatening text messages from an anonymous number on her new phone. Wednesday is very happy to have her first stalker, and fans might be, too—it means there's another mystery for her to return to in season 2.

The event took place at Richard Rodgers Theater on Tuesday. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Madame Tussauds New York is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Broadway hit Hamilton with a wax figure of the musical's creator and original star, Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda's wax figure was unveiled Tuesday at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. The statue is seen in Miranda's Alexander Hamilton costume. "Honestly, this is very strange," the actor and composer said Tuesday, according to Playbill. "It's a full day of head scans and eye scans, there's a lady who has a box full of eyeballs... She's flipping through the eyeballs looking for the one that most closely resembles your eyeball," he said, describing the process. "And I did all of this about a year ago. You pose for it a year in advance, and I've been waiting to see which one she picked. It's very Coraline." Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony. Miranda, 45, is also known for the Broadway musical In the Heights. He and other original Hamilton cast members reunited for a performance at the Tony Awards in June. Leslie Odom, Jr., will reprise his role of Aaron Burr in the musical for a limited time on Broadway beginning in September.
