Ugh, there’s a Wednesday season two plot hole that trashes a major season one character

The first four episodes of Wednesday season two were released last week, so as we eagerly await the last lot to drop, would-be detectives have been picking apart the story for plot holes, easter eggs, and Addams family lore. One plot hole in particular is really gnawing at my brain.

Back in season one, Netflix introduced us to Nevermore’s “first ever Normie teacher”, Marilyn Thornhill. She was Wednesday and Enid’s dorm mom and botanical sciences teacher, who was later outed as the master of the Hyde and the overarching antagonist. Her whole character hinged on being the first Normie teacher to be at the school, so tell me why season two revealed another Normie teacher from decades before.

Spoilers from this point.

In the fourth episode of Wednesday season two, the plot hole was created when our titular characters finds a connection between recent killings and a former Normie teacher called Augustus Stonehearst. He was a teacher at Nevermore decades before Marilyn, but he eventually ended up in an insane asylum after trying to take the abilities of an Outcast. So, how can Marilyn be the first Normie teacher if there was literally one before?

People also clocked the continuity error on Reddit, as one person said: “Thornhill was ‘Nevermore’s first Normie teacher’, but then Augustus Stonehearst taught science, and he was a Normie? It may just be a continuity error or a mistake on my behalf, but I thought it was interesting nevertheless.”

It’s an admittedly silly error, but people on Reddit think there could be a solid reason for the mix-up.

Though Marilyn herself admits to being a Normie in more than one episode, it was actually Larissa Weems (RIP) who introduced her as the “first Normie teacher” to the mayor of Jericho. For that reason, people think that the ever-scheming Weems was trying to rewrite history to gloss over Stonehearst’s lab experiments.

“My only headcannon can be that because of what he did, Weems tried to cover his history up, and so proclaimed Thornhill as the first to try and maintain the peace between Outcasts and normies,” one person suggested.

It kind of makes sense, but it’s still a silly error nonetheless.

Wednesday season two part one is available on Netflix now. For all the latest Netflix news and drops, like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook.
