Forget the crushes and monsters. The most heartwarming thing Wednesday gave us wasn’t some dark mystery or a dramatic kiss. It was Enid and Wednesday, a rainbow wrapped around a thundercloud, showing us that friendship can be the most powerful plot twist of all.
From the very start of Wednesday, it’s obvious the two roommates couldn’t be more different. The lead character, Wednesday (played by Jenna Ortega), is all gloom and sharp stares. Enid is all glitter and pastel claw polish. Their first few scenes together play out like a classic odd-couple setup. But what sneaks up on you is how this clash of personalities slowly melts into something much deeper, something that feels like home.
Why Wednesday & Enid’s Friendship Worked And How It Quietly Redefines Ride-Or-Die Loyalty
This isn’t a friendship built on fixing. Enid (played by Emma Myers) never tries to dim her sparkle to match Wednesday’s shadows. And Wednesday, for all her snark, doesn’t force Enid into the graveyard chic lifestyle. It’s pure coexistence, with love layered into the eye rolls and sarcasm.
Even when they win the Poe Cup, Enid doesn’t pressure Wednesday to celebrate the win “her way.” She just offers. That silent invitation speaks volumes. The show doesn’t shout it, but Wednesday nails a rare kind of emotional maturity here: letting your people be who they are, not who you think they should be.
There’s a scene where Enid says If Wednesday’s new crush “breaks your heart, I’ll nail-gun his.” That line isn’t just hilarious. It’s loyalty in neon claws. Enid might not understand all of Wednesday’s choices, but she’s always on her side, and that kind of ride-or-die energy is worth more than any love triangle.
How A Single Hug Made Wednesday & Enid’s Bond The Real Magic Of The Show
In the season finale, Wednesday does something huge. She hugs Enid. For a girl who flinches at physical touch, that’s no small gesture. It’s not about changing who she is, it’s about choosing to show up for someone she cares about. That moment seals their arc, proving that sometimes the most unexpected people become your safest space.
The writers didn’t just make a fun goth-vs-sunshine dynamic. They crafted a slow-burn bond that hits harder than any villain twist. In a show packed with magic, murder, and mayhem, the real spell was cast between two girls learning how to trust.
So, no matter where you’re from, who you are, or how weird you feel, Wednesday reminds us all that chosen family is real. And if you’re lucky, it might come in the form of someone who howls at the moon while painting your nails.
