Wednesday Season 2 Episode 3: Call of the Woe

Stripped of both her psychic ability and Goody's book, Wednesday is forced to do old-fashioned detective work on a school camping trip. A voicemail from a victim leads her to evidence hidden near Camp Jericho, prompting her to join the trip. At camp, the Outcasts win a contest against rival cadets, which allows Wednesday to search Galpin's cabin, where she finds Outcast obituaries from Willow Hill and the name "Lois."

Wednesday later challenges Morticia to a blindfolded duel for the book; she loses but saves her mother from an attack by Slurp, who escapes and nearly kills Gomez before Pugsley's electrical shock stops him.

In the final reveal of the episode, Marilyn (Thornhill) is shown to have been transferred to Willow Hill as a patient. Earlier in the episode, Wednesday and Thing discovered obituaries of former Willow Hill patients, including one for a person named Lois, hidden behind a mirror in Sheriff Galpin's cabin. Wednesday also lost a blindfold duel to Morticia and did not get back Goody's spell book. Additionally, Slurp escaped, killed Ron Kruger, and nearly killed Gomez before Pugsley stopped the creature with an electrical shock; Willow Hill authorities then removed the creature.

This ending confirms that Marilyn Thornhill's story continues in a new context, as a patient at Willow Hill rather than in her previous position. The discovery of the Willow Hill obituaries suggests a connection between the patients and the ongoing mysteries of the season, though the exact nature of that connection is not yet confirmed. Wednesday's situation remains precarious: stripped of her ability and without Goody's book, she does not regain the book through the duel with Morticia.

Several threads remain unresolved: Who is 'Lois,' and what do the Willow Hill obituaries signify? How will Wednesday regain her powers without Goody's book? And what is the connection between the murders and Willow Hill? These questions are left open by the episode's end.
