Wednesday season 2 part 1 ended with a lot of questions and Netflix fans think Tyler’s parentage will be key to part 2.
*Warning – This article contains spoilers for Wednesday season 2 part 1.*
Netflix viewers are buzzing with theories, convinced they’ve “cracked the code” on the true identity of the prisoner that Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) liberated from Willow Hill in the finale of season 2 part 1. This follows rampant speculation that the mysterious prisoner could be none other than Wednesday’s long-lost Aunt Ophelia, especially after Morticia Addams’ (Catherine Zeta-Jones) emotional confession about her sister earlier in the season.
However, sharp-eyed fans of Wednesday have a different theory about the woman’s identity, and it all ties back to Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan).
To fully grasp this intriguing fan theory, we first need to acknowledge that the finale of Wednesday season 2 part 1 left us with a slew of unanswered questions…
What do fans think really happened at the end of Wednesday season 2 part 1?
In the closing scenes of season 2 part 1, we witness Hyler morph into the Hyde and kill his master Ms Thornhill/Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), before lunging at Wednesday and ominously halting in front of her, reports the Mirror.
We then see Wednesday hurled violently from the window of Willow Hill onto the concrete below, as she narrates: “I’ve always dreamed of looking death in the face. But in my final moments, all I hear is my mother’s words ringing in my ears. Maybe I have made everything worse… much worse.”
While viewers assume that Tyler shoved Wednesday from the window while in his Hyde state, some fans have suggested there’s a specific reason we never witnessed the actual incident.
One fan theorized: “Tyler did NOT push Wednesday idc to obvious! They didn’t show it for a reason, watch it be revealed when they find him that it was someone else!!”
Another fan concurred: “I feel like Tyler pushing her is gonna be a huge red herring.”
Who do Wednesday fans think the freed prisoner really is?
Numerous fans suspect that the released prisoner who questions Wednesday “What kind of angel are you?” is actually her vanished Aunt Ophelia.
Nevertheless, many of the L. O.I. S inmates at Willow Hill that Wednesday assisted in liberating had previously been declared deceased.
Another outcast confined to Willow Hill was none other than… Tyler’s deceased mother Francoise Galpin.
Francoise’s Hyde emerged when she conceived Tyler and her transformations eventually resulted in her imprisonment at Willow Hill.
We’ve been informed she perished at some point later, with her demise having a devastating impact on Tyler and his father Sheriff Donovan Galpin. But did she really die?
On Reddit, one fan speculated: “I’m guessing Tyler’s mom is the woman who asked, ‘What kind of angel are you’ to Wednesday and she’ll be able to get through to Tyler. He even tells Thornhill she’s not his real mother. So Tyler might be neutralised that way.”
However, it’s also possible that Francoise, driven to madness by her years of imprisonment, transformed into her darker alter ego and pushed Wednesday from the window to shield her son Tyler. What a shocking twist that would be.
What do fans think this means for Wednesday and Tyler in season 2 part 2?
If Tyler pushing Wednesday from the window was merely a misdirection, supporters believe this could pave the way for a reunion between the duo and a path to redemption for Tyler.
“From best enemies to lovers ever,” one posted, while another agreed: “He def still has feelings for her.”
A third chimed in: “My theory is tyler wasn’t the one who pushed wednesday out of the window a) they didn’t show it happening b) ehh I lowkey still ship them even tho I know they’re doomed.”
Who is the mysterious woman in the cell and did Tyler actually shove Wednesday out of that window? We’ll need to keep tuning in to discover the truth.
Wednesday season 2 part 1 is available to stream on Netflix. Part 2 is coming to Netflix on September 3.
