In the dramatic finale of Wednesday Season 2, many fans were left gasping when Enid Sinclair ended up permanently transformed into a werewolf after she heroically saved Wednesday. But did Emma Myers, the actress behind Enid, know this was coming? Not quite. Cinemablend+2Harper’s BAZAAR+2
Enid’s Big Twist – And The Shock Behind It
The show’s final episode reveals that Enid, under extreme pressure, “wolfs out” not just temporarily but in a way that suggests she may never return to her human self. Harper’s BAZAAR+1
When interviewed, Myers admitted she only saw the full weight of the revelation about a week before filming Episode 8 because she didn’t get the script until production for that episode began. So, she was as in the dark as many viewers until the very end. Cinemablend
How Emma Reacted
Even knowing the twist was coming so late, Myers understood it made sense for Enid. She said the character’s core trait is selflessness—Enid would willingly give up her humanity to save people she cares about rather than allow someone she loves to die. Cinemablend
She recalled walking over to Jenna Ortega’s tent (who plays Wednesday) after reading the script and blurting out something like, “What? … Oh, I hope I’m not stuck as a wolf now.” Jenna apparently had already read it and simply replied, “I know.” Cinemablend
Why The Cliffhanger Matters
- Character growth: This marks a clear turning point for Enid. She’s no longer just trying to fit in or hide her werewolf side—she becomes powerful, but at a cost. Harper’s BAZAAR+1
- Friendship stakes: It deepens the bond between Enid and Wednesday even more. Enid’s sacrifice shows what she’s willing to risk for her friend. Harper’s BAZAAR+2Decider+2
- Season 3 tease: With Enid’s fate uncertain and her transformation permanent, viewers are left wondering what shape the next season will take—how Wednesday will try to find her, how Enid herself feels in wolf form, and what dangers await. Cinemablend+2Harper’s BAZAAR+2
Even though Myers was caught off guard, her reaction seems to mirror what many fans felt: shock, but also appreciation that the story went somewhere bold. It’s a cliffhanger that changes the rules for Enid—and for Wednesday going forward.
