Season 2 of Wednesday wastes no time dropping viewers into a fresh mystery. After a brief summer break, Wednesday returns to Nevermore and is immediately targeted by a stalker. The reveal comes early, but the tension it sparks lasts the entire first half of the season.
That stalker is Agnes Deil, a new character who proudly calls herself Wednesday’s number one fan. She’s an outcast with a dangerous skill: the ability to turn invisible. This makes her an excellent snoop, but also an unpredictable and invasive presence in Wednesday’s life.
Agnes’s Obsession With Wednesday
From the moment she appears, Agnes is fixated on getting close to Wednesday, and not in a subtle way. She dresses like her, copies her mannerisms, and inserts herself into situations uninvited. Her methods range from irritating to dangerous.
The most alarming example comes in Episode 2, when she sets up a lethal trap for Enid, intending it as a “clever prank” to get Wednesday’s attention. The stunt nearly fulfills Wednesday’s vision of Enid’s death, a prophecy that has haunted her since the season began.
From Suspect to Unlikely Ally
Initially, Wednesday suspects Agnes might be the murderer responsible for the deaths of Carl Bradberry and Donovan Galpin. But when that theory falls apart, Agnes unexpectedly becomes part of the investigation.
Her invisibility proves helpful, she gains access to Galpin’s phone and gathers information others can’t. This access earns her a place at Wednesday’s side, at least temporarily. But it also deepens the rift between Wednesday and Enid, as Wednesday seems willing to overlook Agnes’s past attempt on Enid’s life if it helps solve the case.
Why Wednesday Keeps Her Close
Morticia warns Wednesday that her tunnel vision on solving the murders could cause her to lose the people she cares about. Agnes embodies that warning. By keeping someone so reckless close, Wednesday risks both the prophecy about Enid and her own judgment.
In her mind, Agnes is a tool, useful for now. But in reality, Agnes’s erratic behavior and willingness to cross lines make her a constant threat. This uneasy alliance could be the very thing that pushes Wednesday’s grim vision toward becoming reality.
Ties to the Bigger Picture
Agnes’s storyline runs parallel to Wednesday’s struggles without her Season 1 spirit guide, Goody Addams. After briefly managing to summon Goody, Wednesday learns she may need a new guide, possibly her aunt Ailia, who shares her psychic abilities.
The loss of Goody means Wednesday is navigating this dangerous year without the steadying presence she once relied on. That absence may explain why she tolerates Agnes longer than she should, treating her recklessness as a necessary evil.
What’s Next for Agnes in Part 2?
Whether Agnes will stay loyal or turn on Wednesday remains an open question. She’s unpredictable enough to switch sides if it serves her obsession. And if Enid’s fate truly hinges on Wednesday’s choices, keeping Agnes close may prove to be the biggest mistake of all.
With Part 2 promising higher stakes and deeper twists, Agnes’s role could shift from chaotic sidekick to key player in the season’s endgame.
