Unpopular Opinion: Season 2 handled the Enid and Wednesday dynamic better than people give it credit for
I know a lot of people were disappointed that the writers didn’t make Wenclair official this season, or felt like they were pulled apart too much by their respective subplots, but looking at the bigger picture, Season 2 actually did something incredibly healthy for their dynamic.
Instead of keeping them co-dependent or rushing them into a relationship just for fan service, the writers allowed them to grow as individuals so their friendship could mean more.
Here is why I think Season 2 handled them perfectly:
- Individual Growth: Wednesday actually had to navigate her investigations without constantly using Enid as her emotional sounding board or tech support. It forced Wednesday to experience genuine isolation again, making her realize how much she actually values having Enid in her corner.
- Enid’s Independence: Enid got to step out of Wednesday’s shadow. She had her own agency, her own plots, and proved she isn't just the "bubbly sidekick" who exists to soften Wednesday up.
- Earned Moments: Because they spent time apart, the scenes where they did come together carried way more weight. That mutual respect is the foundation of whatever they become next.
They didn't ruin their dynamic; they gave it room to breathe so it doesn't burn out. The slow burn is agonizing, but it's keeping the core of the show alive.
