Wednesday is not just about the Addams family drama. The murder, mess, and mayhem may tie back to their family tree. However, the Netflix series is just as much about friendship, unconditional at that, and the unprecedented sacrifices we all need to talk about.

When Wednesday Addams first walked down the cavernous halls of Nevermore Academy, making it through the year was a task and friendship? Not even an option. But Enid Sinclair became the light in her life that she didn’t know she needed, despite trying her best to keep everyone away from her.

That deadpan charm turned many away. And that’s exactly what she wanted, right? For the world to leave her on her own. But even the perils riding on her coattails were never enough to keep Enid out of her proximity.

If anything, she became the face of sacrifice in the Netflix series, and the second season just doubled down on it.

When Enid went out of her way to save Wednesday in season one

Believe it or not, Enid and Wednesday are alike in more ways than one. In the first season of Wednesday, both were outcasts even within the population of outcasts. While the Addams’ child averted attention by seeking no companionship with her tribe of people, Enid struggled to wolf out, until the final episode. But when she ultimately did, it was to save her best friend from Tyler Galpin, the Hyde’s mighty clasp. If the climax were to happen in the theatres, it wouldn’t be short of whistles and screams.

The moment was crucial to witness Enid’s transformation, both literally and figuratively. It also came with a dawn of realisation for Wednesday that not all fights are meant to be fought alone.

Enid’s selfless sacrifice in the second season

Wednesday may have lied to protect Enid throughout the season after that horrifying vision of her death. Although the latter does not take it well and spends the entire instalment with her wolf pack, her saviour syndrome goes a level above in the final episodes, again, just for her bestie. In Wednesday season two, episode six, Isadora Capri warns Enid that she has indicators of an alpha werewolf, as she had wolfed out late and that too during a blood moon, when she transforms into one without a full moon.

For those unaware of what an alpha werewolf is, they are the mightiest of werewolves who are feared by others. As a result, they are often pushed towards isolation and, at times, chased to death. For someone like Enid, who has urged companionship with the lupine community all the show, this could be destructive indeed, especially now that she has what she wants.

The worst part of it all is that once the transformation takes place, they cannot return to their human form. Despite being aware of the risks, Enid doesn’t flinch to alpha-wolf out in order to save Wednesday Addams in the last episode when Slurp, AKA Isaac Night, tries to bury her alive. It’s the ultimate show of friendship. By the end of season two, Enid easily becomes the best friend we all crave. Luckily for her, the deadpan darling is no less, who would traverse both hell and heaven to track her down.
