Over at the station, the sheriff is still getting calls from someone named Inez Gates who keeps complaining about lights being on. Kinbott, Wednesday isn’t that cold or heartless if she’d devote all this time to visiting her friend. Kinbott arrives with peachy-pink roses, telling Wednesday she’d promised Eugene’s moms that she would look after their son while they went away. Wednesday is still visiting the comatose Eugene, to whom she confesses that her love of birthdays - after all, each birthday brings us closer to death - now feels “trivial.” Dr. I’m sorry to report that I still don’t find this cult all that interesting, though we do get the first line from Bianca that would suggest she has the sass it takes to be a real-deal queen bee: Her mom, she says, is “the ghost of bitchiness future.” When they meet up at the Weathervane later, Lucas says he’s not wearing the bracelet anymore, thanks to Bianca’s counsel. Bianca spots him at work and catches a MorningSong bracelet on his wrist. Lucas has to do community service at Nevermore to make up for the whole Carrie-at-the-Rave’N incident. “I suggest we wait for a more special occasion, like a funeral.” ![]() Well, it’s no squirrel-taxidermy kit, but what can you do? I love that Wednesday has made meaningful, but believably incremental, progress toward possessing social grace: She gently dodges Enid’s idea of wearing their matching snoods together by saying the gift is far too exquisite for something so mundane. The vision also reveals this wrought-iron gate to … somewhere!īack at the dorm, Enid takes responsibility for throwing the party (Wednesday concedes that her subterfuge was impressive) and gifts Wednesday a hand-knit snood. Goody appears to tell Wednesday that the path of a Raven is a “solitary one,” which of course appeals to our pouty little loner, who only has two more episodes to figure out the importance of friendship. No time for birthday cake our girl is having a vision. Wednesday realizes that the full version of the quote burned into the lawn - ”Fire will rain when I rise” - is etched into the crypt’s walls. ![]() A for effort, Xavier.) But everything else about this is great, including the tiny party hat on Thing and the pink balloon on the Grim Reaper on her cake. We have a bit of inexplicable character behavior that really bugs me here: Why on earth would Xavier come to this party? (Later on he tells Wednesday that he showed up at the party as a sort of olive branch, but she still thinks he could be the monster and isn’t speaking to him. Time for a trip to the Crackstone Crypt for the greatest horror of all: a surprise birthday party. Instead of summoning Goody, she’s interrupted by Enid, and then a letter slides under the door written in old-fashioned ransom-note style, with cutout magazine letters. But apparently you can seance solo, which is exactly what Wednesday attempts to do. ![]() I always thought you needed a group to hold a seance and that perhaps Wednesday’s desire to do so would give her no choice but to actually rely on her friends, thus forcing some personal growth.
