Wednesday's second season fails to capitalize on Enid and the widely popular fan-favorite romantic pairing.
In the second season of Netflix's most-watched English-language show, Wednesday Addams continues to captivate audiences as the central character. However, contrary to some fan theories, there is no hint or confirmation of a romantic relationship between Wednesday and her best friend, Enid Sinclair.
Their friendship, portrayed as strong and deeply bonded, faces challenges in this season. One such challenge is Wednesday's troubling vision of Enid's death, which underscores her care for Enid but does not lead to romance. Enid's involvement in a love triangle with two male characters further separates her romantic storyline from Wednesday's. The show's creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have explicitly shut down any idea of a romance between the two characters.
Enid's life is in danger in season 2, but she doesn't feature as prominently as she did in season 1. Despite this, her actions, such as treating Ajax poorly out of character, suggest a complex emotional landscape. Enid's jealousy when Agnes arrives on the scene indicates an obsession with Wednesday, adding another layer to their relationship.
The tension between Enid and Wednesday could potentially blossom into something more, but it is unlikely at this stage. The writers have the opportunity to deepen the connection between the two, but it remains to be seen if they will do so.
The show has subtle sapphic vibes, yet the creators seem to be steering fans away from the popular Wenclair (Wednesday and Enid) ship. The Wenclair ship, named after the characters, has drawn a sizable fandom, with over 7700 works written about it on AO3.
In the first part of season 2, currently available on Netflix, Wednesday gives Enid a morbid gift at the start of the school year, suggesting a deeper connection between them. The gift, coming from an encounter with a serial killer and containing real human hair, adds a macabre twist to their friendship.
As the second part of season 2 is set to release on September 3, fans will eagerly await to see how the relationship between Wednesday and Enid evolves, or if the show will steer them away from the Wenclair ship.
Reviews for the first part of season 2 have been positive, with critics praising the show's dark humour, intricate plot, and the evolution of the characters, particularly Wednesday and Enid. Despite the lack of a romantic relationship between the two, their friendship remains the heart of the show, providing a unique and engaging narrative.
