Outcast overview
In the series, the term Outcast refers to anyone who has supernatural or paranormal abilities. It is because of their differences that Outcasts refer to regular humans as "Normies" and are often at odds with each other. Nevermore Academy is a school attended almost exclusively by several different species of Outcasts. They are sorted into the different categories listed below:
- Avians – Outcasts that can control birds.
- Cyclopes – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
- DaVincis – Outcasts with telekinetic abilities.
- Faceless – Outcasts who have no eyes, noses, or mouths. Despite having no mouth, they can still eat food.
- Gorgons – Outcasts with snakes instead of hair that cause anyone who looks at them to turn to stone.
- Hydes – Mutated Outcasts who are banned from attending Nevermore Academy. It takes a traumatic event to unleash a person's Hyde form.
- Minotaurs – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
- Psychics – Outcasts who can experience psychic visions. Some psychics are also experts at witchcraft. Two types of psychics exist: Doves have a kinder personality and see positive outcomes from their visions while Ravens have a more cynical personality and have a negative outlook regarding their visions.
- Pyros – Outcasts who possess pyrokinesis (the ability to generate and control fire).
- Shapeshifters – Outcasts who can assume the form of anyone they encounter.
- Sirens – Outcasts whose siren songs can be used to brainwash and control anyone. Their songs will not work on anyone wielding an item made of Corinthian Coral. In addition, they can also turn their legs into a fish tail when submerged underwater.
- Sparks – Outcasts who possess electrokinesis (the ability to generate, store, and control electricity).
- Swarmers – Outcasts that can control arthropods.
- Vampires – Outcasts with extended lifespans that must wear sunglasses when in the sunlight. Though they can drink blood, the vampires can eat other food as well.
- Vanishers – Outcasts who possess the ability to turn themselves invisible.
- Werewolves – Outcasts that assume bipedal wolf-like forms during a full moon and can retract their claws during the day.
- Yetis – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Woe What a Night", that had gone extinct in the 1950s. The "Abominable Snowman" name was considered offensive to them.
Main characters
Wednesday Addams
Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega as a teenager, Karina Varadi as a young girl[3]) is the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams. Wednesday is a Raven; a psychic who can see gloomy visions of past, present and future. She is new to Nevermore Academy after she was expelled from her old school for trying to kill her brother Pugsley's bullies by dropping piranhas in the school pool. She is introduced to her new school and her roommate, Enid Sinclair. Upon her arrival, she tries to run away from Nevermore, but decides to stay to investigate the Hyde monster's murders after she is almost killed by Rowan Laslow and witnesses him being murdered by the Hyde soon after. Shortly after, she wins the Poe Cup race with Enid and finds the Nightshade Library, which she starts to visit often. In one of her visions, it is revealed that Joseph Crackstone tried to burn her ancestor Goody Addams alive. Wednesday also finds a love interest in Tyler Galpin, going with him to the school dance after Thing pretends to be her and asks him out. After her father is arrested for murder, Wednesday and Morticia work together to find that Garrett was not killed by Gomez, but by the nightshade poison he had in his pocket. She notices that Laurel Gates is still alive and witnesses Noble Walker being run over by a car. She attends Mayor Walker's funeral and runs into her uncle Fester afterwards. With his help, she discovers that the monster she was looking for is called a hyde from Nathaniel Faulkner's journal. While she goes on a date with Tyler, the journal is stolen and Thing is stabbed. Wednesday later discovers that Tyler is the Hyde and deduces that his master is Marilyn Thornhill. She confronts Thornhill with Principal Larissa Weems. After Weems is killed, Wednesday is knocked out and taken to Joseph Crackstone's crypt so that Thornhill can use her blood to break the lock which was placed on him by Goody Addams. After escaping from the crypt, she goes to Nevermore and kills Joseph Crackstone.
In season two, Wednesday has been using her gift to track down an elusive serial killer. Her misuse of her gift causes it to go on the fritz and strain her relationship with Morticia. She has a vision of Enid's premature death After being in a coma for two weeks due to being defenestrated by Tyler, she gains Weems as her new spirit guide. The season also confirms that Wednesday is allergic to color. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Wednesday and Thing join Uncle Fester in looking for Enid.
Goody Addams
Goody Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega[3]) is Wednesday's deceased ancestor from the 1600s. She is a witch, psychic and ghost that only Wednesday can see in her visions, which reveal that Goody escaped from the execution of the local town's Outcasts at the hands of Joseph Crackstone, the founder of Jericho, Vermont, whom she later killed, and eventually placed the lock upon Crackstone's crypt with her blood. Goody also founded the Nightshade Society, a secret society that was dedicated to fight for equality between Outcasts and normies but later evolved into more of a social club. Shortly after Marilyn Thornhill drains Wednesday of her blood to resurrect Crackstone and leaves her to die in the crypt, Goody appears to heal her.
Larissa Weems
Larissa Weems (portrayed by Gwendoline Christie as an adult, Oliver Wickha as a young woman[3]) is Nevermore Academy's shapeshifting principal and Morticia's former roommate who introduces Wednesday to her school and roommate, Enid, despite Wednesday's lack of interest. In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number", it is revealed that she turned herself into Rowan after the real Rowan is killed by a hyde. In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", she disguises herself as Tyler to try to trick Marilyn Thornhill into confessing that she's actually Laurel Gates who manipulated Tyler into killing victims as a part of her plan to resurrect Joseph Crackstone, her deceased ancestor from the 1600s, and wipe out the Outcasts from existence. After Weems reveals herself, Thornhill kills Weems by injecting her with nightshade poison.
By season two, Weems is succeeded by Barry Dort. Larissa Weems later returns, briefly, as Wednesday's spirit guide. When Wednesday states that it would be impossible as the Addams family's spirit guides are usually a dead relative, Weems reveals that they are 13th cousins twice removed. She is annoyed when she learns that Dort was made her successor when she didn't have him on her list of possible successors and when he doesn't plan on honoring her sacrifice at the Outcast Day of Remembrance. Morticia soon starts to interact with Weems' spirit guide form when she detects her. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Weems returns to the afterlife.
Dr. Valerie Kinbott
Dr. Valerie Kinbott (portrayed by Riki Lindhome[3]) is Wednesday's Nevermore Academy-appointed therapist from the local town of Jericho. She is killed by the Hyde after Wednesday suspects her of being its master due to seeing her in the forest with Xavier.
Donovan Galpin
Donovan Galpin (portrayed by Jamie McShane as an adult, Ben Wilson as a young man[3]) is Jericho's skeptical sheriff who is suspicious of Wednesday and has a history with Gomez.
In season two, Galpin has resigned from his position and become a private investigator. He was later found dead. Wednesday and Uncle Fester later learn that Judi Spannegel was responsible for the deaths of him and the private investigator Carl Bradbury. Galpin later returns as a hallucination that speaks to Tyler following his escape.
Tyler Galpin
Tyler Galpin (portrayed by Hunter Doohan in human form, motion-captured by Daniel Himschoot in Hyde form[3]) is Sheriff Galpin and Françoise Galpin's son, Isaac Night's nephew, and a barista at a local coffee shop who has a romantic interest in Wednesday. He is later revealed to be a Hyde due to his assumed late mother being one as well. During his attack on Wednesday in the season one finale, Tyler's Hyde form was attacked by Enid's werewolf form until Tyler was non-fatally shot by his father.
In season two, Tyler Galpin was incarcerated in a special cell in Willow Hill as Dr. Rachael Fairburn had brought Laurel Gates in to help control him. Amidst the mass-breakout caused by Uncle Fester, Tyler was freed by Gates. However, he gives her a five-second head start and chases after her. After impaling Gates with his claws, Tyler's Hyde form encountered Wednesday and defenestrated her. By the time the sheriff department arrived to control the mass-breakout situation, their guns couldn't faze Tyler's Hyde form as he got away. After a hallucination of his father, Tyler's Hyde form kills a hitman that Judi Spannagel hired to take out the escaped Willow Hill patients. With help from his mother Françoise, who was actually alive, Morticia had Tyler removed from Jericho as part of a deal. Though Isaac Night has a plan to have their revenge on the Addams family that would involve trying to remove Françoise's Hyde side. After Pugsley is kidnapped, Tyler is strapped to a table by his mother so that his Hyde form can be removed. Thanks to Wednesday's sabotage, Tyler attacks Isaac and fights his mother. With Françoise hanging from the edge, Tyler tries to save her only for Françoise to commit suicide by letting herself fall. At the graves of his parents, Tyler is approached by Isadora Capri who offers to let him join a group of Hydes. He only accepted after hearing that Capri's father was a Hyde.
Xavier Thorpe
Xavier Thorpe (portrayed by Percy Hynes White[3]) is a student at Nevermore with dream psychic and art-animating abilities. He is the ex-boyfriend of Bianca Barclay and former roommate of Rowan Laslow, as well as a member of the Nightshade Society. A talented artist, he has a private studio in an abandoned workshop on campus and often paints his psychic visions on canvas. Soon after Wednesday arrives at Nevermore, Xavier saves her during Rowan's first attempt on her life. He then reveals they had previously met when they were ten years old at his godmother's funeral, where Wednesday saved him from being cremated after he hid in the casket during a game of hide-and-seek. Xavier is consistently supportive of Wednesday and warns her to avoid Tyler, later explaining that Tyler and his friends had assaulted him and destroyed his mural the year before. However, Wednesday suspects Xavier is the Hyde because he always appears in the same places as the monster around the same time, and engineers his arrest. After discovering that Tyler is the true culprit, Wednesday visits Xavier in jail and asks for his help, but he angrily refuses. Xavier is later freed from a police car by Thing and comes to Wednesday's aid during her battle with the resurrected Joseph Crackstone. He shoots an arrow at Crackstone, who redirects it back at him, but Wednesday takes the arrow for him and has him evacuate the other students. After Crackstone and Tyler are defeated, Xavier is released from prison. When Nevermore is closed for the remainder of the semester, Xavier gives Wednesday a cell phone as a gift so they can stay in touch.
In season two, Xavier has left Nevermore Academy and is currently attending Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland after his father Vincent withdrew him from Nevermore due to him being falsely accused of murder. Xavier sent Wednesday a portrait of crows on a tombstone, explaining that it was part of his latest vision.
Enid Sinclair
Enid Sinclair (portrayed by Emma Myers[3]) is Wednesday's colorful werewolf roommate at Nevermore Academy who attempts to become her friend despite Wednesday's lack of interest. She comes from San Francisco, has older brothers, is a fan of the San Jose Sharks, and writes a Nevermore gossip blog. She is also a late bloomer who initially lacks the ability to turn into a werewolf, which is a source of tension between her and her mother. Earlier in the series, Enid teams up with Wednesday to defeat Bianca and win the Poe Cup. She starts a romantic relationship with Ajax Petropolus, although she goes to the school dance with Lucas Walker after Ajax accidentally misses their first date. Later on, Wednesday involves Enid and Tyler into her investigation of the Gates mansion, which almost gets her and Enid killed by the Hyde; this makes Enid furious and causes her to briefly move out of Wednesday's room. At the end of season one, Enid finally transforms into her werewolf form in order for her to defeat Tyler in his Hyde form.
In season two, a prophecy that Wednesday has will depict Enid's death. Enid has her first werewolf transformation without the full moon. Isadora Capri informs Enid about this and claims that she will be turning into an Alpha Werewolf, unable to return to human form and becoming a target for other werewolves. This causes Capri to advise Enid to lock herself up in the werewolf pen for her own safety. When in Wednesday's body, Enid learns the hard way that Wednesday's color allergy is real. In the season two finale, to help Wednesday escape her deathly fate, she decides to transform into a werewolf with the full moon and help her friend. This decision, for the alpha that she is, sentenced her to be forever in her werewolf form. Having previously made a promise to Enid, Wednesday decides to go on a trip with Uncle Fester and Thing to help bring Enid back and possibly to her human form. She was last sighted heading to the Canadian border.
Bianca Barclay
Bianca Barclay (portrayed by Joy Sunday) is a siren who is a queen bee student at Nevermore Academy. One of the school's best students, she is the ex-girlfriend of Xavier Thorpe, who broke up with her after suspecting she had brainwashed him with her siren song, and current leader of the Nightshade Society. Bianca initially competes with Wednesday at every opportunity and bullies her, but later opens up to Wednesday about her insecurities and becomes friendly with her. Later on, it is revealed that Bianca's original name is Brandy Jane and she was once part of a cult called Morning Song with her mother Gabrielle, but escaped after learning its true purpose of scamming money from people and subsequently enrolled in Nevermore. During Parents' Weekend, Gabrielle attempts to blackmail her into returning to Morning Song, but Bianca agrees to help her on condition that she comes back at the end of the school year. Bianca bonds with Lucas Walker after warning him about Morning Song and they give information to Wednesday for her investigation. When Wednesday discovers Tyler is the Hyde, Bianca and the Nightshades assist her in capturing and interrogating him; however, when Wednesday starts torturing him, they back out and alert Principal Weems, which accidentally causes Wednesday to get expelled. When the revived Joseph Crackstone launches an attack on Nevermore, Bianca evacuates the student body using her siren song, before aiding Wednesday in battle. She saves her life by stabbing Crackstone from behind, allowing Wednesday to kill him for good.
In season two, Bianca puts her mother Gabrielle into hiding at the Apple Hollow Inn so that her stepfather Gideon Sterling who runs the Morning Song cult won't find her. She is also used by Barry Dort to brainwash Morticia into bringing Granny Frump to Nevermore Academy in order to provide a donation. When her mother is found in one of the rooms during the sheriff department's raid to find Uncle Fester, Bianca hears about it and uses her powers to make Sheriff Ritchie Santiago forget about it, though Dort finds Gabrielle and makes use of her and Bianca. Dort has Bianca brainwash Granny Frump into donating her money to Nevermore. Bianca is later brought into Dort's office where Gideon is in attendance and watches as he burns him alive after he demanded a higher pay. After Agnes removes the Corinthian Coral pendant from Dort, Bianca brainwashes Dort into confessing to his crimes. Dort then takes Bianca hostage upon the sheriff's department trying to close in, but she is saved by Ajax, who turns Dort to stone as the burnt chandelier falls on his petrified body.
Ajax Petropolus
Ajax Petropolous (portrayed by Georgie Farmer) is a Gorgon at Nevermore Academy who becomes a romantic interest of Enid. He keeps his snake hair underneath his beanie to avoid anyone accidentally getting petrified. Ajax is a member of the Nightshade Society and teammates with Xavier in the Poe Cup.
In season two, Ajax finds that Enid has developed a romantic interest with Bruno, causing Enid to let him down gently during a camping trip. He also helps Bianca in harboring her mother Gabrielle on campus. After Bianca brainwashes Dort into confessing to his crimes causing the sheriff's department to close in, Ajax saves Bianca by turning Dort to stone as the burning chandelier falls onto his petrified body. As Nevermore is closed early again, Ajax and Enid reconcile.
Yoko Tanaka
Yoko Tanaka (portrayed by Naomi J. Ogawa) is a vampire at Nevermore Academy of Japanese descent. She is a member of the Nightshade Society and a close friend of Enid and Divina. Yoko was originally Enid's right hand in the Poe Cup, but was replaced by Wednesday after Bianca sabotaged her by planting garlic bread in her dinner, which caused an allergic reaction that hospitalized her. However, Yoko quickly recovers and is on good terms with Bianca again after the competition. Enid temporarily moves into Yoko's room after an argument with Wednesday. Yoko did not return for the second season.
Marilyn Thornhill
Marilyn Thornhill (portrayed by Christina Ricci) is a human botany teacher at Nevermore Academy. She is later revealed to be a descendant of Joseph Crackstone named Laurel Gates, the mastermind of the murders in Jericho, and master of Tyler Galpin. Using the dismembered body parts of Tyler's victims, she performs a ritual to revive him and they set out to attack Nevermore Academy. After Crackstone is defeated, Laurel returns with a gun and tries to kill Wednesday, but she defeats Laurel with the help of Eugene Ottinger and stomps on her face.
At the start of season two, it was mentioned that Gates is incarcerated. Her old campus house was given to Morticia so that she would have time to decide if she wants to run the academy's fundraiser. When Gates was brought to Willow Hill to cooperate with Dr. Fairburn, she does speak with Tyler whose Hyde form tries to grab her. After seeing Uncle Fester, Gates informs Dr. Fairburn about it. Amidst the prisoner revolt, Gates frees Tyler who gives her 5 seconds to run. His Hyde form catches up to her and he impales her with his claws.
Eugene Ottinger
Eugene Ottinger (portrayed by Moosa Mostafa) is a Swarmer student at Nevermore Academy. He is shown to control bees and has a bee house on Nevermore Academy's property where he raises them. He becomes good friends with Wednesday when she joins his beekeeping club. On Outreach Day, Wednesday defends him from bullies and he covers for her as she looks for information on Joseph Crackstone, though they both get caught. As part of Wednesday's investigation, they decide to stake out a cave suspected to belong to the Hyde. Wednesday postpones their meeting when she goes to the school dance, but Eugene ignores her warning not to go alone and gets mauled by the Hyde, putting him in a coma. Wednesday, blaming herself for the incident, visits him in the hospital and meets his two mothers during Parents' Weekend. After waking up, Eugene gives her the description of a person that he witnessed setting fire to the cave, which helps Wednesday deduce that Marilyn Thornhill is Laurel Gates. He later saves Wednesday by attacking Gates with a swarm of bees, before Wednesday knocks her out.
In season two, Eugene becomes Pugsley's roommate as a favor to Wednesday. His powers have also expanded such that he can now control more types of invertebrates besides bees. After Pugsley was abducted, Isaac Night later used him to deliver a message to Wednesday. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Eugene officially becomes friends with Pugsley and plans to visit his house someday.
Ritchie Santiago
Ritchie Santiago (portrayed by Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo) is the deputy at Jericho's sheriff department who worked under Donovan Galpin.
In season two, Ritchie became the new sheriff after Galpin resigned. Following the death of Professor Orloff, Ritchie intimidates Barry Dort into letting the sheriff's department provide security for Nevermore. She is present when Bianca brainwashes Dort into confessing his crimes. After Dort is turned to stone by Ajax and shattered by a chandelier, Ritchie has forensics pick up Dort's pieces. With Nevermore closed early again in light of the incident and Pugsley being abducted, Ritchie leads the sheriff's department in looking for Pugsley and his abductors. When the sheriff's department arrives at Nevermore upon being summoned by Gomez, Ritchie is among those that witnessed Françoise's suicide by falling to her death.
Thing
Thing (performed by Victor Dorobantu) is a sentient hand who lives with the Addams Family. Morticia dispatches Thing to keep an eye on Wednesday, but she immediately catches Thing spying on her and forces him to do her bidding. Thing assists Wednesday in her investigation of the murders in Jericho, and even steals a dress for her to wear to the school dance. Later on, he is attacked and stabbed with a knife by Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates, but Uncle Fester saves his life.
Season two reveals that Thing used to be the right hand of Isaac Night which was cut off when Morticia was saving Gomez from Isaac's experiment that involved him trying to remove Françoise's Hyde form. As a side effect, Isaac's right hand gained a life of its own. After being snatched by Tyler upon trying to shoot Isaac, Thing is sewn back onto Isaac's right arm making him complete again. During the final battle, the Addamses reached out to Thing, enabling him to defeat Isaac and rip out his mechanical heart. Then he detached himself from Isaac's right arm. Thing later joined Wednesday and Uncle Fester in looking for Enid.
Pugsley Addams
Pugsley Addams (portrayed by Isaac Ordonez) is the younger brother of Wednesday. When Wednesday found her brother locked in a locker, she got revenge on the school's polo team by releasing piranhas into the swimming pool, stating that nobody picks on her brother but her.
In season two, Pugsley has enrolled in Nevermore Academy where he has perfected his Spark ability that he inherited and gains Eugene Ottinger as a roommate. He ends up reviving a mechanical heart corpse into its zombie state. After Isaac Night was restored, he ended up kidnapping Pugsley and planned on using him as a battery to remove Tyler's Hyde form. He was rescued by his family. With Nevermore being closed again, Pugsley officially befriends Eugene.
Gomez Addams
Gomez Addams (portrayed by Luis Guzmán) is the father of Wednesday and Pugsley. He and Morticia are the ones who take Wednesday to Nevermore Academy after Wednesday was expelled for unleashing piranhas on the water polo team that trapped Pugsley in a locker. Gomez also has a history with Donovan Galpin when he was suspected of killing Garrett Gates.
In season two, Gomez and Morticia enroll Pugsley into Nevermore Academy due to his electrokinesis being perfected. Both of them linger when Barry Dort is in need of donors as they make their home away from home in Marilyn Thornhill's old residence. Gomez would later recognize "Slurp" as Isaac Night which he later informs Morticia. During the Nevermore Gala, Gomez was present when Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to his crimes and when Wednesday blackmailed Grandmama Hester Frump into giving a worthy donation to the school. A flashback revealed that Gomez used to have electrokinesis until it was drained in Isaac Night's experiments which Morticia saved him from. Gomez later called the sheriff's department to Nevermore. Following the deaths of Isaac and Françoise Galpin, Gomez and Mortica return home with Pugsley and Lurch while Wednesday, Thing, and Uncle Fester head off to find Enid.
Morticia Addams
Morticia Addams, née Frump (portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the mother of Wednesday and Pugsley and the wife of Gomez. Morticia is also a psychic, albeit a "dove" whose visions are comparatively benign. She and Gomez are the ones who take Wednesday to Nevermore Academy after Wednesday was expelled for unleashing piranhas on the water polo team that trapped Pugsley in a locker.
It was also revealed that Morticia was the roommate of Larissa Weems when she attended Nevermore. Morticia does caution Wednesday not to sneak out of Nevermore Academy, as she had already contacted every one of their relatives to notify her the moment Wednesday "darkens their doorstep." After Gomez was arrested during the Parents' Day event, Morticia helped Wednesday clear his name.
In season two, Morticia and Gomez enroll Pugsley at Nevermore Academy when his electrokinesis has been perfected. Both of them linger around when Barry Dort is in need of donors as they make their home away from home in Marilyn Thornhill's old residence. Morticia is briefly brainwashed by Bianca into having her estranged mother Hester Frump visit Nevermore Academy to provide a major donation. She ends up having her family relationship with Wednesday strained due to her dependence on the book to help with the psychic abilities.
Morticia is also shown to have a history with Françoise Galpin when she turns up alive, and learns how Wednesday freed her from Willow Hill. As part of a deal, Morticia wants Françoise to remove Tyler from Jericho, never to return. Later that night, Morticia is told by Gomez that "Slurp" is really Isaac Night. Sensing Weems' spirit form, Morticia starts to interact with her. During the Nevermore Gala, Morticia spoke with Weems' spirit, who told her of Wednesday's new prophecy regarding the death of an Addams.
She was also present when Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to his crimes, and when Wednesday blackmailed Granny Frump into giving a worthy donation to Nevermore in Gomez's name. A flashback revealed that Morticia saved Gomez from Isaac Night's experiments by slicing off Isaac's right hand, which led to it becoming Thing. Morticia assisted in the rescue of Pugsley.
Following Isaac and Françoise's deaths, Morticia has one final interaction with Weems' spirit. She then returns home with Gomez, Pugsley, and Lurch while Wednesday, Thing, and Uncle Fester head north to find Enid.
Barry Dort
Barry Dort (portrayed by Steve Buscemi) is the Pyro headmaster of Nevermore Academy following the death of Larissa Weems who did not list him on her list of possible successors.
In 2008, Barry Dort encountered a former soap opera actor named Arnold Hunt, who was working as a bartender at the Tiki Tails bar that was frequented by Outcasts and had Gabrielle as one of the siren performers. Dort pitched his idea for an Outcast cult called the Morning Song (after the location of Tiki Tails in Florida) while Arnold became his figurehead.
Upon being sworn in as the new headmaster of Nevermore Academy fifteen years later, Dort is seeking some donations to the Academy and promotes the co-existence of normies and Outcasts. When it came to Morticia, Dort blackmailed Bianca into getting her to bring Grandmama Hester Frump to Nevermore to provide a donation in exchange for not terminating Bianca's scholarship. He also took a precaution to protect himself from siren abilities with an artifact that was made from Corinthian Coral. When it came to the Outcast Day of Remembrance which honors the extinct Outcast species such as Cyclopes, Minotaurs, and Yetis, Dort told Wednesday that he doesn't have plans to honor Weems, much to the dismay of Weems' spirit guide form. Dort later finds where Bianca had hidden Gabrielle and makes use for them as he doesn't hold grudges. Because of Professor Orloff's murder by Isaac Night, Dort was intimidated by Sheriff Ritchie Santiago to have the sheriff's department provide security for the upcoming gala. Using Bianca, Dort brainwashes Grandmama Frump into giving her entire fortune to Nevermore while proposing an extension to Nevermore in her honor dedicated to the training of future morticians. Then he had Bianca in his office by the time her stepfather Arnold in his Gideon Sterling alias arrive. She witnesses Dort burning Arnold alive when he demanded much more money from Dort. Thanks to Agnes DeMille acting on Wednesday's orders during Agnes' dance with Enid, Bianca was able to brainwash Dort into confessing his crimes (revealing that he planned to defraud Nevermore and flee to Venezuela). As the Sheriff's Department converged, Dort took Bianca hostage and accidentally set one of the chandeliers on fire. Ajax saves Bianca by turning Dort to stone and he is shattered by the falling chandelier. Sheriff Santiago had forensics pick up the pieces of Dort. Following the incident, Nevermore was closed early once again.
Isaac Night
Isaac Night (portrayed by Owen Painter) is the brother of Françoise Galpin and the uncle of Tyler Galpin. He started out as a story about a DaVinci boy who made a mechanical heart to replace his own and indulged in mad science. Using a lab built by Augustus Stonehearst, Isaac used Gomez as a battery for an experiment that involved removing Françoise's Hyde form. Morticia saved Gomez by slicing off his right hand which later became Thing. When he died, he was buried in an unmarked grave near a skull tree.
Years later, Pugsley hears about the legend and accidentally brings the boy back to life as a zombie that he names "Slurp". Despite Pugsley and Eugene working to keep him under control, "Slurp" breaks free on many occasions and eats the brains of anyone he encounters, which causes him to regenerate his body. Following an incident during a camping trip, "Slurp" is remanded to Willow Hill. He briefly has Fester Addams as a cellmate. Amidst the mass breakout, "Slurp" kills Dr. Rachael Fairburn and Stonehearst and eats their brains. Judi Spannagel later mentions in a press conference that he, alongside Fester and Tyler, is still at large. During the Day of the Dead festival at Pilgrim World, "Slurp" kills a patron in the "Haunted Hacienda", after which he regains his power of speech and acknowledges Pugsley as a friend. While Pugsley provides a diversion for the Sheriff's Department, "Slurp" comes out the other way as Gomez recognizes him as Isaac Night. Gomez would later tell Morticia that "Slurp" is Isaac.
At the same time, Isaac visits Judi. After killing Judi and reuniting with Françoise, he performs various experiments to keep her alive like trying to purge the Hyde from her at Willow Hill which got disrupted by Wednesday, Enid, and Agnes to giving Françoise a blood transfusion. After Dort's death, Isaac confronts Wednesday in the graveyard and chloroforms her. After reattaching Thing to his right arm and burying Wednesday alive, Isaac proceeds to do an experiment that would remove Tyler's Hyde from him. He fights the Addams family before Thing regains sentience and rips out Isaac's mechanical heart.
Isadora Capri

Capri makes sure that Enid keeps herself locked up in the Lupin cages for her own safety. Following the early closure of Nevermore and the deaths of Françoise Galpin and Isaac Night, Capri approached Tyler at his parents' grave and offered him to join a group of Hydes.

In the second half of the season after realizing she will never replace Enid as Wednesday's best friend, Agnes joins Enid in her dance and uses her invisibility to snatch Barry Dort's Corinthian Coral pendant so that Bianca can brainwash him into admitting his crimes.
