Jenna Ortega Buried Alive?! Enid’s Shocking Transformation Steals the Spotlight in Wednesday Season 2

The hit supernatural drama Wednesday continues to evolve in unexpected ways. In Season 2 Part 2, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar turn the spotlight on the emotional and psychological growth of beloved characters, particularly Enid Sinclair (played by Emma Myers) and newcomer Agnes (played by Evie Templeton). As relationships shift, roles reverse, and identities are questioned, the show explores what it truly means to sacrifice, belong, and grow beyond labels.

At the center of it all? A powerful act of selflessness from Enid, a renewed bond between her and Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), and a dance sequence that redefined character connections.

Enid’s Shocking Transformation: A Literal Loss of Humanity

Arguably the most defining moment of Wednesday Season 2’s final episode is Enid’s transformation under the full moon—a choice that not only risks her life, but her identity as well. When Wednesday is buried alive by Isaac Night (Owen Painter), it’s Enid who ultimately saves her, embracing her werewolf nature fully in a dramatic act of loyalty.

“Enid sacrifices her humanity, literally,” co-creator Miles Millar said in a post-finale interview. As Isadora Capri (Billie Piper) warns, this transformation may not be reversible. Still, Enid takes the risk.

This decision wasn’t taken lightly. Myers revealed that she only found out about this dramatic twist about a week before filming the finale. “She’s very self-sacrificial,” the actress shared. “She would do anything to save the people that she loves. It shows her true heart, and I’m glad that she’s the one who gets to make that sacrifice.”

The Heart of the Series: Wednesday and Enid’s Tested Friendship

From Season 1, the dynamic between Wednesday and Enid has been one of the most compelling elements of the show. While the two couldn’t be more different—gothic gloom versus pastel optimism—their friendship has evolved into something authentic and emotionally grounded.

In Season 2, that friendship is pushed to its limits. Wednesday begins the season haunted by a vision of Enid’s death, and spends much of her time trying to prevent it. But by the finale, it is Enid who ultimately risks everything to protect Wednesday.

“The crucible of their friendship is tested,” Millar explained. “That’s really the emotional climax of the season.” He also added that Wednesday’s arc this season focuses on learning what it means to truly be a friend—something she’s never had to confront before.

Agnes’ Arrival and the Tension She Introduces

The entrance of Agnes (Evie Templeton) adds an entirely new dynamic to the group. Intelligent, mysterious, and often invisible—literally—Agnes quickly forms a connection with Wednesday, leaving Enid feeling replaced.

Agnes isn’t merely a new student at Nevermore Academy. She brings with her emotional baggage, hidden insecurities, and a desperate need to be seen, especially by Wednesday. Templeton described her character’s arc as someone who is “still trying to be somebody she’s not.”

This friction between Agnes and Enid forms one of the central tensions of the season. But surprisingly, by the time the finale arrives, the characters find common ground in an unexpected way: through dance.

The Gala Dance: A Defining Moment for Enid and Agnes

At the Nevermore gala—meticulously planned by Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday), and Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi)—viewers witness one of the season’s most talked-about scenes: a choreographed duet between Enid and Agnes, set to The Dead Dance, a song written specifically for the show by Lady Gaga.

“Agnes volunteers to dance with Enid during her solo,” Millar revealed, “because she’s spied on Enid while invisible and knows all the moves.”

Despite their earlier animosity, this moment showcases solidarity and mutual respect. According to Millar, “The dance felt like the obvious place to show their alliance. Both actresses are amazing dancers, and we never want to repeat ourselves, so this felt right.”

The scene is both visually stunning and thematically resonant—marking a transition from rivalry to connection.

Behind the Scenes: Choreography, Click Tracks, and Camera Nerves

Filming the dance was not without its challenges. Myers and Templeton weren’t allowed to perform with the actual song playing. Instead, they used a click track—a song with the same beats per minute—to keep time while the final track was added later in editing.

“We didn’t get much rehearsal time,” Myers admitted. “I think we both hated every second of filming it because it’s awkward trying to mimic each other’s moves in front of each other.”

Nevertheless, the final product impressed both creators and cast.

“It looks cool,” Templeton said. “You look really good. I love the creature of the night part. The looks we have at each other—that was special.”

Agnes’ Personal Struggles: Identity, Rejection, and the Shadow of Wednesday

Agnes’ internal journey continues well beyond the gala. Even after her touching moment with Enid, she’s still wrestling with feelings of invisibility—both metaphorical and literal. Her desire to gain Wednesday’s approval, her mimicry of Wednesday’s iconic braided hairstyle, and her self-doubt reflect a deeper sense of inadequacy.

A poignant revelation in the finale involves Agnes’ father, a businessman too preoccupied with his own life to offer emotional support. “That explains a lot,” Templeton said. “Her desperation to be seen and to impress Wednesday—it all comes from that family dynamic.”

Co-creator Alfred Gough echoed this sentiment, saying, “By the end of the season, you get some insight into Agnes and how she feels invisible. It’s a character that people seem to gravitate toward.”

The Body Swap Episode: Comedy Meets Character Study

In one of Season 2’s more humorous detours, a body swap episode created by Lady Gaga’s Rosaline Rotwood forces Wednesday and Enid to walk a mile in each other’s shoes—literally. Ortega and Myers prepared by coaching each other through body language and tone.

“Be as still as possible,” Ortega told Myers. “Move around as much as possible,” Myers responded.

Despite the comic overtones, the episode deepened the understanding between the characters and set the stage for their emotional reunion in the finale.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Enid, Agnes, and Nevermore?

Season 2 ends with many threads still open. Enid’s transformation poses significant questions: Will she return to her human form? Will other werewolves see her as a threat? For Agnes, the path toward self-discovery has only just begun. Her journey to escape Wednesday’s shadow and find her true identity will likely remain central in upcoming episodes.

With creators Millar and Gough expressing interest in exploring Agnes’ family and emotional development further, the future of Wednesday is poised to blend mystery, magic, and deeply personal storytelling.

Conclusion: Sacrifice, Identity, and the Power of Friendship

Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 doesn’t just deliver on thrills and visuals—it delves into who these characters really are. From Enid’s sacrifice to Agnes’ growth, the show continues to explore identity, friendship, and what it means to be truly seen. With Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Evie Templeton anchoring emotionally rich performances, the series proves it’s more than just gothic aesthetics—it’s about heart.

As the Nevermore students pack up for break, one thing is clear: the shadows of Season 2 will stretch well into Season 3.
