00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:18,052
And you want me to cover
348
00:19:18,136 --> 00:19:20,972
so that you can return to the scene
of a crime that didn't happen?
349
00:19:21,055 --> 00:19:22,807
I have beekeeping club this afternoon.
350
00:19:22,891 --> 00:19:24,434
I need you as decoy.
351
00:19:24,517 --> 00:19:26,311
Sorry. Two strikes.
352
00:19:26,811 --> 00:19:28,855
I'm busy and bees totally creep me out.
353
00:19:29,689 --> 00:19:32,817
Why don't you ask Thing?
Wait, you can't because he's mad at you.
354
00:19:32,901 --> 00:19:35,111
Why's he mad? He's the one who screwed up.
355
00:19:35,195 --> 00:19:39,324
All I know is that we spent an hour giving
each other manis, and he really opened up.
356
00:19:39,824 --> 00:19:42,076
He feels like
you don't respect him as a person.
357
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,786
Technically, he's only a hand.
358
00:19:43,870 --> 00:19:46,080
Wednesday! He's your family.
359
00:19:46,956 --> 00:19:49,125
And he would do anything for you.
360
00:19:49,209 --> 00:19:51,544
Go apologize
and I'll reconsider helping you.
361
00:20:04,307 --> 00:20:05,308
[pages rustling]
362
00:20:11,606 --> 00:20:14,817
I snapped at you.
I'll check my tone in the future.
363
00:20:15,401 --> 00:20:17,904
Now chop-chop,
before all our leads turn cold.
364
00:20:24,661 --> 00:20:27,288
What is it that you want?
Hand cream? Nail buffer?
365
00:20:27,372 --> 00:20:28,915
New cuticle scissors?
366
00:20:29,624 --> 00:20:30,667
Consider it done.
367
00:20:33,211 --> 00:20:34,754
[tapping]
368
00:20:37,423 --> 00:20:38,424
[Wednesday sighs]
369
00:20:45,682 --> 00:20:48,935
I know I'm stubborn,
single-minded and obsessive.
370
00:20:49,018 --> 00:20:51,062
But those are all traits of great writers.
371
00:20:53,356 --> 00:20:54,983
Yes. And serial killers.
372
00:20:55,566 --> 00:20:56,693
What's your point?
373
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:00,446
I have nothing to get off my chest,
374
00:21:00,530 --> 00:21:03,116
and I am not submitting
to your emotional blackmail.
375
00:21:03,199 --> 00:21:05,702
[tapping]
376
00:21:08,788 --> 00:21:09,622
Fine.
377
00:21:16,504 --> 00:21:19,340
When Rowan showed me this,
it confirmed my greatest fear.
378
00:21:22,468 --> 00:21:25,054
That I'm going to be responsible
for something terrible.
379
00:21:25,138 --> 00:21:26,973
Not good terrible, like Ivan.
380
00:21:27,056 --> 00:21:27,890
Bad terrible.
381
00:21:28,975 --> 00:21:30,643
And I can't let that happen.
382
00:21:31,602 --> 00:21:33,438
That's why I need to find out the truth.
383
00:21:38,151 --> 00:21:40,528
Breathe a word of this to anyone
and I will end you.
384
00:21:46,951 --> 00:21:47,952
[bees buzzing]
385
00:21:48,953 --> 00:21:50,621
[Wednesday]
If Weems comes sniffing around,
386
00:21:50,705 --> 00:21:53,541
keep your distance,
look grim, and don't say a word.
387
00:21:53,624 --> 00:21:57,003
-Payback is going to be a bitch.
-I'd expect nothing less.
388
00:21:59,005 --> 00:22:01,299
Blab and I will squeeze you
like a honeycomb.
389
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:03,301
Snitches get stung.
390
00:22:03,384 --> 00:22:04,552
It's hive code.
391
00:22:04,635 --> 00:22:07,055
Besides, I should be thanking you.
392
00:22:07,138 --> 00:22:09,974
This is the most girls
I've ever had in the shed.
393
00:22:10,475 --> 00:22:11,476
Other than bees.
394
00:22:11,976 --> 00:22:12,894
Shocking.
395
00:22:14,479 --> 00:22:16,773
I've always had a thing
for werewolf chicks.
396
00:22:17,273 --> 00:22:20,026
The chance that Enid ever becomes
romantically interested in you
397
00:22:20,109 --> 00:22:21,402
is less than 1%.
398
00:22:21,486 --> 00:22:22,987
So I've still got a shot?
399
00:22:23,071 --> 00:22:23,905
Yes!
400
00:22:30,995 --> 00:22:36,042
In ancient times, honey was used to treat
wounds and in sacrificial burial rites.
401
00:22:36,125 --> 00:22:38,461
Cleopatra was rumored to bathe in honey.
402
00:22:38,544 --> 00:22:40,213
Gave her skin a luminous glow.
403
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,548
You ever taken a honey bath?
404
00:22:43,174 --> 00:22:44,384
I just don't wanna get stung.
405
00:22:45,343 --> 00:22:47,470
The key is to remain calm.
406
00:22:47,553 --> 00:22:50,598
Bees detect fear,
but you don't need to worry.
407
00:22:50,681 --> 00:22:54,602
Because I have a very big smoker,
and I handle it like a pro.
408
00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:56,396
Would you like to see it?
409
00:22:57,188 --> 00:22:58,189
[Enid sighs]
410
00:22:58,940 --> 00:23:00,942
[low, mysterious music playing]
411
00:23:05,196 --> 00:23:06,197
[grunt in distance]
412
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,282
[jolting stinger]
413
00:23:12,912 --> 00:23:13,913
[Elvis barks]
414
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,088
Sorry. I didn't want Elvis
to pick up on your scent.
415
00:23:22,171 --> 00:23:24,382
Thanks. How'd you throw them off?
416
00:23:24,924 --> 00:23:25,758
Uh…
417
00:23:27,093 --> 00:23:28,928
-[chuckles wryly]
-Coffee grounds?
418
00:23:30,304 --> 00:23:31,764
Deer-hunting hack.
419
00:23:31,848 --> 00:23:33,933
One of the perks
of being a part-time barista.
420
00:23:34,016 --> 00:23:36,853
I assume your father didn't bring
the bloodhound to play fetch.
421
00:23:36,936 --> 00:23:38,062
He doesn't tell me shit.
422
00:23:39,021 --> 00:23:41,023
You must think
it's weird I'm stalking him.
423
00:23:41,107 --> 00:23:44,318
No, I consistently stalk my parents.
424
00:23:46,195 --> 00:23:49,407
Hey, wait, what really happened
the other night at the festival?
425
00:23:50,491 --> 00:23:52,827
Look, I swear I won't say
anything to my dad.
426
00:23:55,621 --> 00:23:57,039
I thought Rowan was in danger.
427
00:23:57,707 --> 00:23:59,083
Turns out I was wrong.
428
00:23:59,167 --> 00:24:02,462
Then he proceeded to use his telekinesis
to try and choke me to death.
429
00:24:03,045 --> 00:24:05,590
Holy shit. Wh… Why would he do that?
430
00:24:05,673 --> 00:24:09,969
No idea. That's when this monster
came out of the shadows and gutted him.
431
00:24:10,678 --> 00:24:12,513
Whoa. Whoa.
432
00:24:12,597 --> 00:24:14,056
So… So you really saw it?
433
00:24:15,475 --> 00:24:17,894
And it didn't try to kill you?
434
00:24:17,977 --> 00:24:21,522
It actually saved me from Rowan.
That's the part I'm trying to figure out.
435
00:24:22,023 --> 00:24:24,484
I came here to find something
that can prove he was murdered
436
00:24:24,567 --> 00:24:26,027
and that I haven't lost my mind.
437
00:24:26,110 --> 00:24:27,111
Yet.
438
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,492
[ominous music playing]
439
00:24:35,536 --> 00:24:36,746
These are Rowan's.
440
00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:38,748
I knew it was a cover-up.
441
00:24:39,415 --> 00:24:40,500
[eerie whooshing]
442
00:24:40,583 --> 00:24:41,709
[Rowan] What are you talking about?
443
00:24:41,792 --> 00:24:44,045
-So much of my…
-…my new desk, you psychopath!
444
00:24:44,128 --> 00:24:45,004
[Xavier echoing]
445
00:24:45,087 --> 00:24:47,048
-Speaking of that--
-You creep people out!
446
00:24:48,883 --> 00:24:50,510
-You know--
-Unbelievable.
447
00:24:50,593 --> 00:24:51,594
I did.
448
00:24:51,677 --> 00:24:52,762
You're crazy!
449
00:24:54,222 --> 00:24:55,515
[grunts]
450
00:24:58,434 --> 00:24:59,393
You okay?
451
00:25:05,775 --> 00:25:08,110
[Wednesday] I keep seeing
that same purple book.
452
00:25:10,238 --> 00:25:11,489
The cover was darker.
453
00:25:11,572 --> 00:25:14,116
More like a day-old contusion.
Keep looking.
454
00:25:20,331 --> 00:25:25,253
I don't usually find students in here
looking for actual books. [chuckles]
455
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,588
Most sneak in to make out.
456
00:25:27,672 --> 00:25:29,924
I accidentally walked in
on two vampires fanging.
457
00:25:31,175 --> 00:25:32,468
I can't unsee that.
458
00:25:33,219 --> 00:25:35,054
Is there something I can help you find?
459
00:25:38,099 --> 00:25:39,433
Have you seen this before?
460
00:25:39,934 --> 00:25:42,228
It's a watermark
from a book I'm looking for.
461
00:25:42,812 --> 00:25:46,357
I think it's the symbol
to an old student society. Um…
462
00:25:47,692 --> 00:25:48,693
The Nightshades.
463
00:25:48,776 --> 00:25:50,236
Like the deadly flower.
464
00:25:52,029 --> 00:25:52,905
Color me intrigued.
465
00:25:52,989 --> 00:25:55,408
I was told they disbanded years ago.
466
00:25:55,908 --> 00:25:56,993
Any idea why?
467
00:25:57,827 --> 00:25:58,703
Sorry.
468
00:26:04,083 --> 00:26:06,586
I was very impressed
with your answers in class today.
469
00:26:06,669 --> 00:26:09,213
My mother is
a carnivorous plant aficionado.
470
00:26:09,297 --> 00:26:11,257
I assume I get my red thumb from her.
471
00:26:12,341 --> 00:26:14,010
Are you and your mother close?
472
00:26:15,344 --> 00:26:18,431
Like two inmates sentenced to life
on the same cell block.
473
00:26:18,514 --> 00:26:22,768
I know it can't be easy…
showing up mid-semester.
474
00:26:22,852 --> 00:26:26,814
I've been here a year and a half,
and I still feel like an outsider.
475
00:26:26,897 --> 00:26:28,983
Because you're the only normie
on the staff?
476
00:26:30,526 --> 00:26:31,652
Enid told me.
477
00:26:33,404 --> 00:26:36,198
To tell you the truth,
I've never really fit in anywhere.
478
00:26:37,408 --> 00:26:41,203
Too odd for the normies,
not odd enough for the outcasts.
479
00:26:41,954 --> 00:26:43,581
I thought Nevermore would be different,
480
00:26:43,664 --> 00:26:47,627
but there's still a handful of teachers
who will barely acknowledge me.
481
00:26:48,919 --> 00:26:51,505
I act as if I don't care
if people dislike me.
482
00:26:53,924 --> 00:26:54,925
Deep down…
483
00:26:57,470 --> 00:26:58,554
I secretly enjoy it.
484
00:27:01,307 --> 00:27:03,768
-Never lose that, Wednesday.
-Lose what?
485
00:27:04,727 --> 00:27:07,980
[sighs] The ability
to not let others define you.
486
00:27:08,939 --> 00:27:09,815
It's a gift.
487
00:27:11,275 --> 00:27:12,485
Doesn't always feel that way.
488
00:27:14,278 --> 00:27:16,947
The most interesting plants
grow in the shade.
489
00:27:18,282 --> 00:27:20,034
[subdued, emotional music playing]
490
00:27:20,117 --> 00:27:22,370
And if you ever need anyone to talk to,
491
00:27:22,453 --> 00:27:24,872
the door to the conservatory
is always open.
492
00:27:29,043 --> 00:27:31,045
[bell tolling]
493
00:27:50,272 --> 00:27:52,692
That purple book has got to be
around here somewhere.
494
00:27:52,775 --> 00:27:53,901
Start investigating.
495
00:27:54,402 --> 00:27:57,446
[enigmatic, inquisitive music plays]
496
00:28:33,899 --> 00:28:35,568
Rowan's full of surprises.
497
00:28:37,236 --> 00:28:38,237
[two knocks at door]
498
00:28:40,531 --> 00:28:41,532
[Xavier sighs]
499
00:28:42,324 --> 00:28:44,160
[knocking continues]
500
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,999
You're not supposed to be up here.
501
00:28:50,082 --> 00:28:51,667
Good to see you too.
502
00:28:51,751 --> 00:28:54,503
How'd you get past the Housemaster?
Use your siren powers?
503
00:28:54,587 --> 00:28:55,713
Not while wearing this.
504
00:28:56,297 --> 00:28:58,799
Would it kill you
to not think the worst of me for once?
505
00:28:58,883 --> 00:29:01,761
-[Xavier] What do you want, Bianca?
-To see how you're doing.
506
00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:05,097
I'm sorry about Rowan.
I know you guys used to be close.
507
00:29:05,181 --> 00:29:07,516
Since when did you
give a damn about Rowan?
508
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,311
You were the one afraid
he'd do something to Wednesday.
509
00:29:10,394 --> 00:29:13,647
Isn't that why you've been following her
like an eager-eyed puppy?
510
00:29:13,731 --> 00:29:15,357
Or is there something more?
511
00:29:18,652 --> 00:29:21,071
Seriously, what do you see in her?
512
00:29:21,155 --> 00:29:24,867
You have a thing for a tragic goth girls
with funeral-parlor fashion sense?
513
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:27,620
Maybe it's because
she hasn't tried to manipulate me.
514
00:29:27,703 --> 00:29:30,164
I make one mistake,
and you can't forgive me.
515
00:29:30,247 --> 00:29:32,208
She treats you like crap,
you can't get enough.
516
00:29:32,291 --> 00:29:33,584
Why are you fixated on Wednesday?
517
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:36,086
Because she thinks
she's better than everyone else.
518
00:29:37,505 --> 00:29:40,299
I can't wait
to crush Ophelia Hall tomorrow
519
00:29:40,382 --> 00:29:42,802
and watch her werewolf roommate crumble.
520
00:29:43,886 --> 00:29:45,638
It's gonna be
a Poe Cup finale to remember.
521
00:29:45,721 --> 00:29:49,099
-I hate to think what you've got planned.
-My game's already started.
522
00:29:49,683 --> 00:29:50,810
I like to win.
523
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:52,603
Is that so wrong?
524
00:29:53,938 --> 00:29:55,981
And you wonder why I broke up with you.
525
00:29:56,899 --> 00:29:58,734
You used to love my killer instinct.
526
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,990
We were good together, Xavier.
527
00:30:05,574 --> 00:30:06,492
Were we?
528
00:30:07,159 --> 00:30:08,994
Is that just how you wanted me to feel?
529
00:30:12,581 --> 00:30:16,126
Trust me, Wednesday Addams
is not the girl of your dreams.
530
00:30:16,627 --> 00:30:18,712
She's the stuff of your nightmares.
531
00:30:23,509 --> 00:30:24,343
[door opens]
532
00:30:24,426 --> 00:30:26,428
[Enid weeping]
533
00:30:29,473 --> 00:30:30,891
Where have you been?
534
00:30:30,975 --> 00:30:33,060
I'm literally having
a heart attack right now.
535
00:30:33,143 --> 00:30:34,979
-Yoko's in the infirmary!
-What happened?
536
00:30:35,062 --> 00:30:37,064
Garlic bread incident at dinner.
537
00:30:37,147 --> 00:30:39,984
She had a major allergic reaction.
She's out of the Poe Cup.
538
00:30:40,067 --> 00:30:41,193
I don't have a co-pilot.
539
00:30:41,277 --> 00:30:43,195
It wasn't an accident. Bianca's behind it.
540
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:45,197
-How do you know?
-Doesn't matter.
541
00:30:45,281 --> 00:30:47,449
You and I are going to
take her down tomorrow.
542
00:30:48,075 --> 00:30:50,536
Wait. You're joining the Black Cats?
543
00:30:51,787 --> 00:30:53,289
You're willing to do that?
544
00:30:53,789 --> 00:30:54,748
For me?
545
00:30:56,792 --> 00:30:58,878
I want to humiliate Bianca so badly
546
00:30:58,961 --> 00:31:01,380
that the bitter taste of defeat
burns in her throat.
547
00:31:02,256 --> 00:31:05,426
Yeah, but mostly you're doing it
because we're friends, right?
548
00:31:07,761 --> 00:31:09,305
Tell me how she keeps winning.
549
00:31:09,388 --> 00:31:11,015
It's a real brain cramp.
550
00:31:11,098 --> 00:31:14,602
The past two years, no other boat has
made it across and back without sinking.
551
00:31:14,685 --> 00:31:16,020
Sounds like sabotage.
552
00:31:16,103 --> 00:31:17,938
There are no rules in the Poe Cup,
553
00:31:18,022 --> 00:31:21,066
and she is a siren,
which makes her master of the water.
554
00:31:22,818 --> 00:31:25,279
Then we just need
to beat her at her own game.
555
00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:40,210
-We're all set.
-Good. Thing's in position.
556
00:31:40,294 --> 00:31:43,672
-Wanna tell me what you two were up to?
-And spoil the surprise?
557
00:31:43,756 --> 00:31:47,217
Speaking of surprises,
your costume's in the tent.
558
00:31:47,718 --> 00:31:48,886
Costume?
559
00:31:49,929 --> 00:31:52,640
OMG, you look purr-fect!
560
00:31:52,723 --> 00:31:54,850
Only thing, where are your whiskers?
561
00:31:55,601 --> 00:31:58,145
Ask again,
and you'll be down to eight lives.
562
00:31:58,812 --> 00:32:00,522
[rousing fanfare plays]
563
00:32:21,752 --> 00:32:22,753
Focus.
564
00:32:24,964 --> 00:32:26,924
[Bianca] What do we have here?
565
00:32:27,007 --> 00:32:28,425
The runt of the litter.
566
00:32:29,301 --> 00:32:32,596
For the record, I don't believe
I'm better than everyone else.
567
00:32:33,305 --> 00:32:34,848
Just that I'm better than you.
568
00:32:35,432 --> 00:32:39,436
I want to welcome you all
to the Edgar Allan Poe Cup.
569
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,856
This is one of Nevermore's
proudest annual traditions,
570
00:32:42,940 --> 00:32:46,276
dating back 125 years.
571
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:48,946
Each team must row across to Raven Island,
572
00:32:49,029 --> 00:32:51,240
pull a flag from Crackstone's Crypt,
573
00:32:51,323 --> 00:32:53,659
and hustle back
without sinking or being sunk.
574
00:32:54,410 --> 00:32:57,037
First team to cross the finish line
with their flag
575
00:32:57,121 --> 00:32:59,707
wins the cup
and bragging rights for a year,
576
00:32:59,790 --> 00:33:02,209
as well as some special privileges.
577
00:33:02,292 --> 00:33:04,169
Let the Poe Cup begin!
578
00:33:05,295 --> 00:33:06,463
[student] Go! Go! Go!
579
00:33:06,547 --> 00:33:07,923
[all cheering]
580
00:33:08,007 --> 00:33:11,760
-[coxswain 1] Move. Faster!
-[coxswain 2] Come on, ladies. Let's go!
581
00:33:11,844 --> 00:33:13,762
[tense, dramatic music plays]
582
00:33:13,846 --> 00:33:15,681
[cheering]
583
00:33:17,808 --> 00:33:19,268
[Xavier] Oh, excuse us!
584
00:33:44,626 --> 00:33:47,880
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!

-[lever clacks]
-[axe blade rasps]
586

-[rower 1] Come on! Go!
-[rower 2] Come on!
587
00:34:10,569 --> 00:34:11,904
[thud]
588
00:34:12,446 --> 00:34:13,405
[chuckles]
589
00:34:15,741 --> 00:34:18,243
-Turn! Turn!
-Turn!
590
00:34:21,747 --> 00:34:23,248
[rowers panicking]
591
00:34:24,249 --> 00:34:25,250
[all exclaiming]
592
00:34:26,418 --> 00:34:27,753
[coughing, spluttering]
593
00:34:27,836 --> 00:34:29,671
Come on, man. We lost 'cause of you.
594
00:34:29,755 --> 00:34:31,256
[malicious chuckling]
595
00:34:43,018 --> 00:34:44,144
Faster!
596
00:34:48,357 --> 00:34:49,191
Thing.
597
00:34:54,363 --> 00:34:55,364
[projectile whistles]
598
00:35:03,247 --> 00:35:04,581
[low, keening howl]
599
00:35:04,665 --> 00:35:07,000
[tense, dramatic music continues]
600
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:10,045
Let's go. It's over here.
601
00:35:18,804 --> 00:35:21,557
Stay here and make sure
Bianca can't sabotage our boat.
602
00:35:27,104 --> 00:35:29,398
Thing, I need you to distract
a couple of jokers.
603
00:35:42,452 --> 00:35:43,912
-[rower 3] What?
-[rower 4] Come on.
604
00:35:43,996 --> 00:35:45,956
-Go.
-Let's get it.
605
00:35:51,044 --> 00:35:52,045
[canoe cracking]
606
00:35:53,213 --> 00:35:54,673
Let's go, man.
607
00:35:54,756 --> 00:35:55,841
She's right there.
608
00:35:55,924 --> 00:35:56,842
Come on.
609
00:35:57,843 --> 00:35:59,344
[Xavier] Later, Wednesday!
610
00:36:03,974 --> 00:36:05,684
[eerie whooshing, crackling]
611
00:36:07,936 --> 00:36:09,938
[muffled, distorted audio]
612
00:36:22,743 --> 00:36:23,869
You are the key.
613
00:36:26,788 --> 00:36:28,207
Taking a catnap?
614
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,676
[dramatic music continues]
615
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,762
-Come on!
-Hurry up, we have to go!
616
00:36:50,229 --> 00:36:51,521
What's going on?
617
00:36:54,399 --> 00:36:55,400
[Enid crows]
618
00:36:56,568 --> 00:36:58,111
See ya, jokers!
619
00:36:59,363 --> 00:37:00,364
[Xavier] Cheaters!
620
00:37:00,447 --> 00:37:05,077
I just asked myself, "WWWD?"
What Would Wednesday Do?
621
00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:11,250
The final two teams are the Gold Bugs…
622
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:13,627
[cheering, whooping]
623
00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:15,212
…and the Black Cats.
624
00:37:24,221 --> 00:37:25,305
[Enid] Come on.
625
00:37:46,994 --> 00:37:48,287
[Enid panting]
626
00:37:57,796 --> 00:37:59,006
[muffled thud]
627
00:38:14,062 --> 00:38:14,938
[Enid] Gotcha!
628
00:38:21,695 --> 00:38:22,529
[frustrated grunt]
629

[triumphant fanfare plays]
630
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:37,627
Whoo!
631
00:38:39,212 --> 00:38:40,630
[Enid] Yeah, we did it!
632
00:38:42,466 --> 00:38:44,092
OMG, Wednesday, we did it!
633
00:38:44,176 --> 00:38:47,304
This is the greatest moment
of my entire life.
634
00:38:47,804 --> 00:38:50,474
Admit it, you kinda got into
the whole school spirit thing.
635
00:38:54,478 --> 00:38:57,064
You didn't tell me
it was a dark, vengeful spirit.
636
00:39:02,527 --> 00:39:07,366
The first Poe Cup took place in 1897
637
00:39:07,449 --> 00:39:12,037
as a way to not only honor
Nevermore's most famous alumni,
638
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,124
but to celebrate those values
that all outcasts share.
639
00:39:16,208 --> 00:39:21,505
Community, perseverance,
and determination.
640
00:39:21,588 --> 00:39:24,716
And we certainly saw those values
on display today.
641
00:39:27,552 --> 00:39:28,387
Yeah!
642
00:39:29,137 --> 00:39:30,680
[Enid] Whoo!
643
00:39:30,764 --> 00:39:31,640
Yeah!
644
00:39:31,723 --> 00:39:34,768
[Weems] Congratulations to Ophelia Hall!
645
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:36,937
As a former resident,
646
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:41,775
I will be happy to see the cup
back on the mantle after all these years.
647
00:39:52,869 --> 00:39:53,870
[sighs]
648
00:40:05,715 --> 00:40:07,175
[Enid] What are you doing down here?
649
00:40:08,093 --> 00:40:09,261
Hiding.
650
00:40:09,344 --> 00:40:11,930
People keep randomly smiling at me,
it's unsettling.
651
00:40:12,013 --> 00:40:13,432
It's called having your moment.
652
00:40:13,515 --> 00:40:16,101
You took down Bianca Barclay.
Try to enjoy it.
653
00:40:16,601 --> 00:40:18,812
The girls wanna know
if you wanna hang out later.
654
00:40:18,895 --> 00:40:20,856
Oh, come on, it won't kill you.
655
00:40:23,775 --> 00:40:24,943
I'll think about it.
656
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:29,614
Yes!
657
00:40:29,698 --> 00:40:31,491
[Weems] It's good to see you fitting in.
658
00:40:32,576 --> 00:40:33,702
Just like your mother.
659
00:40:34,703 --> 00:40:38,290
My mother and I are two different
people/species/everything.
660
00:40:40,917 --> 00:40:44,379
The last time
Ophelia Hall won the Poe Cup,
661
00:40:44,463 --> 00:40:46,256
your mother captained the team.
662
00:40:48,383 --> 00:40:50,010
I was her co-pilot.
663
00:40:51,887 --> 00:40:54,598
Maybe you two
are more alike than you think.
664
00:40:58,810 --> 00:40:59,728
[Enid] I'm so excited.
665
00:40:59,811 --> 00:41:03,398
[quietly] It was your job to help us win.
She's never lost. Never.
666
00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:07,152
[typewriter keys clacking faintly]
667
00:41:08,653 --> 00:41:11,406
[Wednesday]
Nevermore continues to be an enigma.
668
00:41:11,490 --> 00:41:14,242
A place where the questions
far outweigh the answers.
669
00:41:15,994 --> 00:41:17,579
But sometimes…
670
00:41:18,955 --> 00:41:21,249
the answer is staring you
right in the face.
671
00:41:21,333 --> 00:41:23,793
[chilling music plays]
672
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,763
Don't worry, Edgar Allan.
673
00:41:34,846 --> 00:41:37,057
I see your sanctimonious smirk.
674
00:41:37,891 --> 00:41:39,851
But I will get the last laugh.
675
00:41:41,144 --> 00:41:43,480
Your penchant for riddles was legendary.
676
00:41:44,147 --> 00:41:46,525
And this might be your cleverest yet.
677
00:41:46,608 --> 00:41:48,485
Because it's not a single riddle.
678
00:41:48,568 --> 00:41:51,071
Rather, each line is its own separate one.
679
00:41:51,738 --> 00:41:54,032
"The opposite of moon." Sun.
680
00:41:54,616 --> 00:41:57,536
"A world between ours." Nether.
681
00:41:57,619 --> 00:42:00,080
"Two months before June." April.
682
00:42:00,622 --> 00:42:02,541
"A self-seeding flower." Pansy.
683
00:42:02,624 --> 00:42:03,917
"One more than one." Two.
684
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,379
"Its leaves weep to the ground." Willow.
"It melts in the sun." Ice.
685
00:42:07,462 --> 00:42:09,422
"Its beginning and end never found."
Circle.
686
00:42:09,506 --> 00:42:11,967
"Every rule has one." Exception.
687
00:42:22,686 --> 00:42:24,813
"The answer will give
a sharp cracking sound."
688
00:42:28,692 --> 00:42:30,694
[music builds to climax]
689
00:42:34,739 --> 00:42:36,741
[sharp cracking sound]
690
00:42:41,121 --> 00:42:43,665
[grand music playing]
691
00:43:08,273 --> 00:43:09,774
Secret societies.
692
00:43:09,858 --> 00:43:11,276
Hidden libraries.
693
00:43:12,319 --> 00:43:15,113
My mother staring at me
in a judgmental way.
694
00:43:16,406 --> 00:43:18,867
These are all things I've come to expect.
695
00:43:43,308 --> 00:43:45,310
