00:19:17,072 --> 00:19:18,031
And you want me to cover
348
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:20,951
so that you can return to the scene
of a crime that didn't happen?
349
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:22,786
I have beekeeping club this afternoon.
350
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:24,413
I need you as decoy.
351
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:26,290
Sorry. Two strikes.
352
00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:28,834
I'm busy and bees totally creep me out.
353
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:32,796
Why don't you ask Thing?
Wait, you can't because he's mad at you.
354
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,090
Why's he mad? He's the one who screwed up.
355
00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:39,303
All I know is that we spent an hour giving
each other manis, and he really opened up.
356
00:19:39,803 --> 00:19:42,055
He feels like
you don't respect him as a person.
357
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:43,765
Technically, he's only a hand.
358
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:46,059
Wednesday! He's your family.
359
00:19:46,935 --> 00:19:49,104
And he would do anything for you.
360
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,523
Go apologize
and I'll reconsider helping you.
361
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:05,287
[pages rustling]
362
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:14,796
I snapped at you.
I'll check my tone in the future.
363
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,883
Now chop-chop,
before all our leads turn cold.
364
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,267
What is it that you want?
Hand cream? Nail buffer?
365
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:28,894
New cuticle scissors?
366
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:30,646
Consider it done.
367
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:34,733
[tapping]
368
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,403
[Wednesday sighs]
369
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:48,914
I know I'm stubborn,
single-minded and obsessive.
370
00:20:48,997 --> 00:20:51,041
But those are all traits of great writers.
371
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:54,962
Yes. And serial killers.
372
00:20:55,545 --> 00:20:56,672
What's your point?
373
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:00,425
I have nothing to get off my chest,
374
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:03,095
and I am not submitting
to your emotional blackmail.
375
00:21:03,178 --> 00:21:05,681
[tapping]
376
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:09,601
Fine.
377
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:19,319
When Rowan showed me this,
it confirmed my greatest fear.
378
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:25,033
That I'm going to be responsible
for something terrible.
379
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:26,952
Not good terrible, like Ivan.
380
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:27,869
Bad terrible.
381
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:30,622
And I can't let that happen.
382
00:21:31,581 --> 00:21:33,417
That's why I need to find out the truth.
383
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,507
Breathe a word of this to anyone
and I will end you.
384
00:21:46,930 --> 00:21:47,931
[bees buzzing]
385
00:21:48,932 --> 00:21:50,600
[Wednesday]
If Weems comes sniffing around,
386
00:21:50,684 --> 00:21:53,520
keep your distance,
look grim, and don't say a word.
387
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:56,982
-Payback is going to be a bitch.
-I'd expect nothing less.
388
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:01,278
Blab and I will squeeze you
like a honeycomb.
389
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:03,280
Snitches get stung.
390
00:22:03,363 --> 00:22:04,531
It's hive code.
391
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:07,034
Besides, I should be thanking you.
392
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:09,953
This is the most girls
I've ever had in the shed.
393
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:11,455
Other than bees.
394
00:22:11,955 --> 00:22:12,873
Shocking.
395
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:16,752
I've always had a thing
for werewolf chicks.
396
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:20,005
The chance that Enid ever becomes
romantically interested in you
397
00:22:20,088 --> 00:22:21,381
is less than 1%.
398
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:22,966
So I've still got a shot?
399
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:23,884
Yes!
400
00:22:30,974 --> 00:22:36,021
In ancient times, honey was used to treat
wounds and in sacrificial burial rites.
401
00:22:36,104 --> 00:22:38,440
Cleopatra was rumored to bathe in honey.
402
00:22:38,523 --> 00:22:40,192
Gave her skin a luminous glow.
403
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:42,527
You ever taken a honey bath?
404
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:44,363
I just don't wanna get stung.
405
00:22:45,322 --> 00:22:47,449
The key is to remain calm.
406
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:50,577
Bees detect fear,
but you don't need to worry.
407
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:54,581
Because I have a very big smoker,
and I handle it like a pro.
408
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:56,375
Would you like to see it?
409
00:22:57,167 --> 00:22:58,168
[Enid sighs]
410
00:22:58,919 --> 00:23:00,921
[low, mysterious music playing]
411
00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:06,176
[grunt in distance]
412
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:08,261
[jolting stinger]
413
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:13,892
[Elvis barks]
414
00:23:18,939 --> 00:23:22,067
Sorry. I didn't want Elvis
to pick up on your scent.
415
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:24,361
Thanks. How'd you throw them off?
416
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:25,737
Uh…
417
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:28,907
-[chuckles wryly]
-Coffee grounds?
418
00:23:30,283 --> 00:23:31,743
Deer-hunting hack.
419
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:33,912
One of the perks
of being a part-time barista.
420
00:23:33,995 --> 00:23:36,832
I assume your father didn't bring
the bloodhound to play fetch.
421
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:38,041
He doesn't tell me shit.
422
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,002
You must think
it's weird I'm stalking him.
423
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:44,297
No, I consistently stalk my parents.
424
00:23:46,174 --> 00:23:49,386
Hey, wait, what really happened
the other night at the festival?
425
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:52,806
Look, I swear I won't say
anything to my dad.
426
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,018
I thought Rowan was in danger.
427
00:23:57,686 --> 00:23:59,062
Turns out I was wrong.
428
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:02,441
Then he proceeded to use his telekinesis
to try and choke me to death.
429
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:05,569
Holy shit. Wh… Why would he do that?
430
00:24:05,652 --> 00:24:09,948
No idea. That's when this monster
came out of the shadows and gutted him.
431
00:24:10,657 --> 00:24:12,492
Whoa. Whoa.
432
00:24:12,576 --> 00:24:14,035
So… So you really saw it?
433
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:17,873
And it didn't try to kill you?
434
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:21,501
It actually saved me from Rowan.
That's the part I'm trying to figure out.
435
00:24:22,002 --> 00:24:24,463
I came here to find something
that can prove he was murdered
436
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:26,006
and that I haven't lost my mind.
437
00:24:26,089 --> 00:24:27,090
Yet.
438
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:32,471
[ominous music playing]
439
00:24:35,515 --> 00:24:36,725
These are Rowan's.
440
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:38,727
I knew it was a cover-up.
441
00:24:39,394 --> 00:24:40,479
[eerie whooshing]
442
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:41,688
[Rowan] What are you talking about?
443
00:24:41,771 --> 00:24:44,024
-So much of my…
-…my new desk, you psychopath!
444
00:24:44,107 --> 00:24:44,983
[Xavier echoing]
445
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:47,027
-Speaking of that--
-You creep people out!
446
00:24:48,862 --> 00:24:50,489
-You know--
-Unbelievable.
447
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:51,573
I did.
448
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:52,741
You're crazy!
449
00:24:54,201 --> 00:24:55,494
[grunts]
450
00:24:58,413 --> 00:24:59,372
You okay?
451
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,089
[Wednesday] I keep seeing
that same purple book.
452
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:11,468
The cover was darker.
453
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:14,095
More like a day-old contusion.
Keep looking.
454
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:25,232
I don't usually find students in here
looking for actual books. [chuckles]
455
00:25:25,899 --> 00:25:27,567
Most sneak in to make out.
456
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:29,903
I accidentally walked in
on two vampires fanging.
457
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:32,447
I can't unsee that.
458
00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:35,033
Is there something I can help you find?
459
00:25:38,078 --> 00:25:39,412
Have you seen this before?
460
00:25:39,913 --> 00:25:42,207
It's a watermark
from a book I'm looking for.
461
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:46,336
I think it's the symbol
to an old student society. Um…
462
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:48,672
The Nightshades.
463
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:50,215
Like the deadly flower.
464
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:52,884
Color me intrigued.
465
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:55,387
I was told they disbanded years ago.
466
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:56,972
Any idea why?
467
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:58,682
Sorry.
468
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:06,565
I was very impressed
with your answers in class today.
469
00:26:06,648 --> 00:26:09,192
My mother is
a carnivorous plant aficionado.
470
00:26:09,276 --> 00:26:11,236
I assume I get my red thumb from her.
471
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,989
Are you and your mother close?
472
00:26:15,323 --> 00:26:18,410
Like two inmates sentenced to life
on the same cell block.
473
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:22,747
I know it can't be easy…
showing up mid-semester.
474
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:26,793
I've been here a year and a half,
and I still feel like an outsider.
475
00:26:26,876 --> 00:26:28,962
Because you're the only normie
on the staff?
476
00:26:30,505 --> 00:26:31,631
Enid told me.
477
00:26:33,383 --> 00:26:36,177
To tell you the truth,
I've never really fit in anywhere.
478
00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:41,182
Too odd for the normies,
not odd enough for the outcasts.
479
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:43,560
I thought Nevermore would be different,
480
00:26:43,643 --> 00:26:47,606
but there's still a handful of teachers
who will barely acknowledge me.
481
00:26:48,898 --> 00:26:51,484
I act as if I don't care
if people dislike me.
482
00:26:53,903 --> 00:26:54,904
Deep down…
483
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:58,533
I secretly enjoy it.
484
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:03,747
-Never lose that, Wednesday.
-Lose what?
485
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:07,959
[sighs] The ability
to not let others define you.
486
00:27:08,918 --> 00:27:09,794
It's a gift.
487
00:27:11,254 --> 00:27:12,464
Doesn't always feel that way.
488
00:27:14,257 --> 00:27:16,926
The most interesting plants
grow in the shade.
489
00:27:18,261 --> 00:27:20,013
[subdued, emotional music playing]
490
00:27:20,096 --> 00:27:22,349
And if you ever need anyone to talk to,
491
00:27:22,432 --> 00:27:24,851
the door to the conservatory
is always open.
492
00:27:29,022 --> 00:27:31,024
[bell tolling]
493
00:27:50,251 --> 00:27:52,671
That purple book has got to be
around here somewhere.
494
00:27:52,754 --> 00:27:53,880
Start investigating.
495
00:27:54,381 --> 00:27:57,425
[enigmatic, inquisitive music plays]
496
00:28:33,878 --> 00:28:35,547
Rowan's full of surprises.
497
00:28:37,215 --> 00:28:38,216
[two knocks at door]
498
00:28:40,510 --> 00:28:41,511
[Xavier sighs]
499
00:28:42,303 --> 00:28:44,139
[knocking continues]
500
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,978
You're not supposed to be up here.
501
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:51,646
Good to see you too.
502
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:54,482
How'd you get past the Housemaster?
Use your siren powers?
503
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:55,692
Not while wearing this.
504
00:28:56,276 --> 00:28:58,778
Would it kill you
to not think the worst of me for once?
505
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,740
-[Xavier] What do you want, Bianca?
-To see how you're doing.
506
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:05,076
I'm sorry about Rowan.
I know you guys used to be close.
507
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,495
Since when did you
give a damn about Rowan?
508
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:10,290
You were the one afraid
he'd do something to Wednesday.
509
00:29:10,373 --> 00:29:13,626
Isn't that why you've been following her
like an eager-eyed puppy?
510
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:15,336
Or is there something more?
511
00:29:18,631 --> 00:29:21,050
Seriously, what do you see in her?
512
00:29:21,134 --> 00:29:24,846
You have a thing for a tragic goth girls
with funeral-parlor fashion sense?
513
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:27,599
Maybe it's because
she hasn't tried to manipulate me.
514
00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:30,143
I make one mistake,
and you can't forgive me.
515
00:29:30,226 --> 00:29:32,187
She treats you like crap,
you can't get enough.
516
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:33,563
Why are you fixated on Wednesday?
517
00:29:33,646 --> 00:29:36,065
Because she thinks
she's better than everyone else.
518
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:40,278
I can't wait
to crush Ophelia Hall tomorrow
519
00:29:40,361 --> 00:29:42,781
and watch her werewolf roommate crumble.
520
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:45,617
It's gonna be
a Poe Cup finale to remember.
521
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:49,078
-I hate to think what you've got planned.
-My game's already started.
522
00:29:49,662 --> 00:29:50,789
I like to win.
523
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:52,582
Is that so wrong?
524
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:55,960
And you wonder why I broke up with you.
525
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:58,713
You used to love my killer instinct.
526
00:30:02,258 --> 00:30:04,969
We were good together, Xavier.
527
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:06,471
Were we?
528
00:30:07,138 --> 00:30:08,973
Is that just how you wanted me to feel?
529
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,105
Trust me, Wednesday Addams
is not the girl of your dreams.
530
00:30:16,606 --> 00:30:18,691
She's the stuff of your nightmares.
531
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:24,322
[door opens]
532
00:30:24,405 --> 00:30:26,407
[Enid weeping]
533
00:30:29,452 --> 00:30:30,870
Where have you been?
534
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:33,039
I'm literally having
a heart attack right now.
535
00:30:33,122 --> 00:30:34,958
-Yoko's in the infirmary!
-What happened?
536
00:30:35,041 --> 00:30:37,043
Garlic bread incident at dinner.
537
00:30:37,126 --> 00:30:39,963
She had a major allergic reaction.
She's out of the Poe Cup.
538
00:30:40,046 --> 00:30:41,172
I don't have a co-pilot.
539
00:30:41,256 --> 00:30:43,174
It wasn't an accident. Bianca's behind it.
540
00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:45,176
-How do you know?
-Doesn't matter.
541
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:47,428
You and I are going to
take her down tomorrow.
542
00:30:48,054 --> 00:30:50,515
Wait. You're joining the Black Cats?
543
00:30:51,766 --> 00:30:53,268
You're willing to do that?
544
00:30:53,768 --> 00:30:54,727
For me?
545
00:30:56,771 --> 00:30:58,857
I want to humiliate Bianca so badly
546
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:01,359
that the bitter taste of defeat
burns in her throat.
547
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:05,405
Yeah, but mostly you're doing it
because we're friends, right?
548
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:09,284
Tell me how she keeps winning.
549
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,994
It's a real brain cramp.
550
00:31:11,077 --> 00:31:14,581
The past two years, no other boat has
made it across and back without sinking.
551
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:15,999
Sounds like sabotage.
552
00:31:16,082 --> 00:31:17,917
There are no rules in the Poe Cup,
553
00:31:18,001 --> 00:31:21,045
and she is a siren,
which makes her master of the water.
554
00:31:22,797 --> 00:31:25,258
Then we just need
to beat her at her own game.
555
00:31:37,812 --> 00:31:40,189
-We're all set.
-Good. Thing's in position.
556
00:31:40,273 --> 00:31:43,651
-Wanna tell me what you two were up to?
-And spoil the surprise?
557
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:47,196
Speaking of surprises,
your costume's in the tent.
558
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:48,865
Costume?
559
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,619
OMG, you look purr-fect!
560
00:31:52,702 --> 00:31:54,829
Only thing, where are your whiskers?
561
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,124
Ask again,
and you'll be down to eight lives.
562
00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:00,501
[rousing fanfare plays]
563
00:32:21,731 --> 00:32:22,732
Focus.
564
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:26,903
[Bianca] What do we have here?
565
00:32:26,986 --> 00:32:28,404
The runt of the litter.
566
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,575
For the record, I don't believe
I'm better than everyone else.
567
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:34,827
Just that I'm better than you.
568
00:32:35,411 --> 00:32:39,415
I want to welcome you all
to the Edgar Allan Poe Cup.
569
00:32:39,499 --> 00:32:42,835
This is one of Nevermore's
proudest annual traditions,
570
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:46,255
dating back 125 years.
571
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:48,925
Each team must row across to Raven Island,
572
00:32:49,008 --> 00:32:51,219
pull a flag from Crackstone's Crypt,
573
00:32:51,302 --> 00:32:53,638
and hustle back
without sinking or being sunk.
574
00:32:54,389 --> 00:32:57,016
First team to cross the finish line
with their flag
575
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,686
wins the cup
and bragging rights for a year,
576
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:02,188
as well as some special privileges.
577
00:33:02,271 --> 00:33:04,148
Let the Poe Cup begin!
578
00:33:05,274 --> 00:33:06,442
[student] Go! Go! Go!
579
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:07,902
[all cheering]
580
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:11,739
-[coxswain 1] Move. Faster!
-[coxswain 2] Come on, ladies. Let's go!
581
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,741
[tense, dramatic music plays]
582
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:15,660
[cheering]
583
00:33:17,787 --> 00:33:19,247
[Xavier] Oh, excuse us!
584
00:33:44,605 --> 00:33:47,859
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!

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

-[rower 1] Come on! Go!
-[rower 2] Come on!
587
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:11,883
[thud]
588
00:34:12,425 --> 00:34:13,384
[chuckles]
589
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:18,222
-Turn! Turn!
-Turn!
590
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:23,227
[rowers panicking]
591
00:34:24,228 --> 00:34:25,229
[all exclaiming]
592
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:27,732
[coughing, spluttering]
593
00:34:27,815 --> 00:34:29,650
Come on, man. We lost 'cause of you.
594
00:34:29,734 --> 00:34:31,235
[malicious chuckling]
595
00:34:42,997 --> 00:34:44,123
Faster!
596
00:34:48,336 --> 00:34:49,170
Thing.
597
00:34:54,342 --> 00:34:55,343
[projectile whistles]
598
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:04,560
[low, keening howl]
599
00:35:04,644 --> 00:35:06,979
[tense, dramatic music continues]
600
00:35:08,689 --> 00:35:10,024
Let's go. It's over here.
601
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:21,536
Stay here and make sure
Bianca can't sabotage our boat.
602
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,377
Thing, I need you to distract
a couple of jokers.
603
00:35:42,431 --> 00:35:43,891
-[rower 3] What?
-[rower 4] Come on.
604
00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,935
-Go.
-Let's get it.
605
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:52,024
[canoe cracking]
606
00:35:53,192 --> 00:35:54,652
Let's go, man.
607
00:35:54,735 --> 00:35:55,820
She's right there.
608
00:35:55,903 --> 00:35:56,821
Come on.
609
00:35:57,822 --> 00:35:59,323
[Xavier] Later, Wednesday!
610
00:36:03,953 --> 00:36:05,663
[eerie whooshing, crackling]
611
00:36:07,915 --> 00:36:09,917
[muffled, distorted audio]
612
00:36:22,722 --> 00:36:23,848
You are the key.
613
00:36:26,767 --> 00:36:28,186
Taking a catnap?
614
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:39,655
[dramatic music continues]
615
00:36:39,739 --> 00:36:41,741
-Come on!
-Hurry up, we have to go!
616
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,500
What's going on?
617
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:55,379
[Enid crows]
618
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:58,090
See ya, jokers!
619
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:00,343
[Xavier] Cheaters!
620
00:37:00,426 --> 00:37:05,056
I just asked myself, "WWWD?"
What Would Wednesday Do?
621
00:37:08,392 --> 00:37:11,229
The final two teams are the Gold Bugs…
622
00:37:11,729 --> 00:37:13,606
[cheering, whooping]
623
00:37:13,689 --> 00:37:15,191
…and the Black Cats.
624
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,284
[Enid] Come on.
625
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:48,266
[Enid panting]
626
00:37:57,775 --> 00:37:58,985
[muffled thud]
627
00:38:14,041 --> 00:38:14,917
[Enid] Gotcha!
628
00:38:21,674 --> 00:38:22,508
[frustrated grunt]
629

[triumphant fanfare plays]
630
00:38:36,689 --> 00:38:37,606
Whoo!
631
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:40,609
[Enid] Yeah, we did it!
632
00:38:42,445 --> 00:38:44,071
OMG, Wednesday, we did it!
633
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:47,283
This is the greatest moment
of my entire life.
634
00:38:47,783 --> 00:38:50,453
Admit it, you kinda got into
the whole school spirit thing.
635
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:57,043
You didn't tell me
it was a dark, vengeful spirit.
636
00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:07,345
The first Poe Cup took place in 1897
637
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:12,016
as a way to not only honor
Nevermore's most famous alumni,
638
00:39:12,099 --> 00:39:16,103
but to celebrate those values
that all outcasts share.
639
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:21,484
Community, perseverance,
and determination.
640
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:24,695
And we certainly saw those values
on display today.
641
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:28,366
Yeah!
642
00:39:29,116 --> 00:39:30,659
[Enid] Whoo!
643
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:31,619
Yeah!
644
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:34,747
[Weems] Congratulations to Ophelia Hall!
645
00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:36,916
As a former resident,
646
00:39:36,999 --> 00:39:41,754
I will be happy to see the cup
back on the mantle after all these years.
647
00:39:52,848 --> 00:39:53,849
[sighs]
648
00:40:05,694 --> 00:40:07,154
[Enid] What are you doing down here?
649
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:09,240
Hiding.
650
00:40:09,323 --> 00:40:11,909
People keep randomly smiling at me,
it's unsettling.
651
00:40:11,992 --> 00:40:13,411
It's called having your moment.
652
00:40:13,494 --> 00:40:16,080
You took down Bianca Barclay.
Try to enjoy it.
653
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:18,791
The girls wanna know
if you wanna hang out later.
654
00:40:18,874 --> 00:40:20,835
Oh, come on, it won't kill you.
655
00:40:23,754 --> 00:40:24,922
I'll think about it.
656
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:29,593
Yes!
657
00:40:29,677 --> 00:40:31,470
[Weems] It's good to see you fitting in.
658
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:33,681
Just like your mother.
659
00:40:34,682 --> 00:40:38,269
My mother and I are two different
people/species/everything.
660
00:40:40,896 --> 00:40:44,358
The last time
Ophelia Hall won the Poe Cup,
661
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:46,235
your mother captained the team.
662
00:40:48,362 --> 00:40:49,989
I was her co-pilot.
663
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:54,577
Maybe you two
are more alike than you think.
664
00:40:58,789 --> 00:40:59,707
[Enid] I'm so excited.
665
00:40:59,790 --> 00:41:03,377
[quietly] It was your job to help us win.
She's never lost. Never.
666
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,131
[typewriter keys clacking faintly]
667
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:11,385
[Wednesday]
Nevermore continues to be an enigma.
668
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:14,221
A place where the questions
far outweigh the answers.
669
00:41:15,973 --> 00:41:17,558
But sometimes…
670
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:21,228
the answer is staring you
right in the face.
671
00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:23,772
[chilling music plays]
672
00:41:32,698 --> 00:41:34,742
Don't worry, Edgar Allan.
673
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:37,036
I see your sanctimonious smirk.
674
00:41:37,870 --> 00:41:39,830
But I will get the last laugh.
675
00:41:41,123 --> 00:41:43,459
Your penchant for riddles was legendary.
676
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:46,504
And this might be your cleverest yet.
677
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:48,464
Because it's not a single riddle.
678
00:41:48,547 --> 00:41:51,050
Rather, each line is its own separate one.
679
00:41:51,717 --> 00:41:54,011
"The opposite of moon." Sun.
680
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:57,515
"A world between ours." Nether.
681
00:41:57,598 --> 00:42:00,059
"Two months before June." April.
682
00:42:00,601 --> 00:42:02,520
"A self-seeding flower." Pansy.
683
00:42:02,603 --> 00:42:03,896
"One more than one." Two.
684
00:42:03,979 --> 00:42:07,358
"Its leaves weep to the ground." Willow.
"It melts in the sun." Ice.
685
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:09,401
"Its beginning and end never found."
Circle.
686
00:42:09,485 --> 00:42:11,946
"Every rule has one." Exception.
687
00:42:22,665 --> 00:42:24,792
"The answer will give
a sharp cracking sound."
688
00:42:28,671 --> 00:42:30,673
[music builds to climax]
689
00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:36,720
[sharp cracking sound]
690
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,644
[grand music playing]
691
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:09,753
Secret societies.
692
00:43:09,837 --> 00:43:11,255
Hidden libraries.
693
00:43:12,298 --> 00:43:15,092
My mother staring at me
in a judgmental way.
694
00:43:16,385 --> 00:43:18,846
These are all things I've come to expect.
695
00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:45,289
