Wednesday Villain Makes Bone-Chilling Season 2 Return
What Happened to Wednesday’s Xavier? His Fate Revealed After Percy Hynes White Accused of Misconduct

Villains are like bad fashion trends—they always come back.
And such is the case for Wednesday season one evil mastermind Ms. Marilyn Thornhill, a.k.a. Laurel Gates, whose psychotic mind was brought to life by Christina Ricci. While Laurel’s fate was left up in the air during the finale—the last fans saw of her, she was incapacitated and covered in bees—season two reveals she is alive, though maybe not well.
As a quick refresher, Ms. Thornhill was an alias used by Laurel as she executed her plan to bring back crazed Pilgrim Joseph Crackstone, all the while acting as master to Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) and his monstrous form, the Hyde.
But after being defeated by Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams in the season one finale, it’s revealed in season two that Laurel was imprisoned before being brought to local Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility, a home for outcasts in need of care—including Tyler.
