Wednesday's second season overlooks a significant opportunity by failing to delve into Enid's character and the most popular fan-favorite pairing involving her.
In the captivating world of Netflix's Wednesday, the intricate dynamics of friendships take centre stage, none more so than the relationship between Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair.
Enid, a character more than just a friend or roommate to Wednesday, finds herself at the heart of a complex web this season. However, contrary to popular fan-fic speculation, the show has yet to hint at a romantic evolution between the two characters [1][2][5].
Instead, Enid finds herself ensnared in a new love triangle with Bruno and Ajax, further distancing her from Wednesday [1]. The tension between them is palpable, yet it's their deep friendship that remains the core of their bond.
Wednesday, the protagonist of Netflix's most-watched English-language show, bestows a morbid gift upon Enid at the start of the school year, a token that hints at a deeper connection between them [6]. This gift, originating from an encounter with a serial killer, contains real human hair [7].
The creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have openly expressed their interest in exploring a romantic relationship between Wednesday and Enid, but the season opts to delve into challenges in their friendship rather than evolving it [3][4]. Enid's character arc this season is focused more on her romantic interests and personal struggles, contrasting with Wednesday's investigation and her protective instincts towards Enid [1][2].
Enid's life hangs in the balance this season, forming a major plot point [8]. Her character is less prominent compared to season 1, but her presence is still felt deeply [9]. She even exhibits signs of obsession towards Wednesday, becoming jealous when Agnes arrives on the scene [10].
The sizable fandom for the 'Wenclair' ship (the ship between Wednesday and Enid) finds comfort in acknowledgements of this ship from key people working on the show [11]. Despite this, the writers have yet to give queer fans a chance to see themselves organically represented on a huge platform, a possibility that remains to be seen [12].
As we eagerly await the release of Wednesday season 2 part 2 on September 3, the question of Enid and Wednesday's relationship remains a tantalizing mystery, leaving fans eagerly speculating about what the future holds for this enigmatic duo.
