* On the Nevermore Academy website it's said that the applications are currently closed and while this refers to the fact that the production of Season 2 hasn't started yet it also refers to the fact that Nevermore currently doesn't have a Principal and therefore can't take applications from new students.

* Wednesday says in a promotional video that homicidal maniacs "look just like everybody else." This isn’t just a shout-out to the 1991 movie, it’s a hint that Tyler is the murderer. He is, arguably, the most ordinary looking person in the whole series, with an ordinary job and hobbies - he couldn't blend any more into the background if he tried. This is also TruthInTelevision; if you see pictures of serial killers and homicidal maniacs like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, they just look like everyone else - either so plain that no one notices them, or so attractive that they easily lure victims in with their charm.

** Both, most likely. By that point, Wednesday had done enough damage that Weems would probably outright ''refuse'' to listen at first. So, by the time Wednesday and Eugene convince her to suspect Thornhill, and her and Wednesday travel back to the school, and they come up with a plan to confront Thornhill that won't risk tarnishing the school's reputation any further...
* Goody, or Goodwife, is a title and manner of address in the time period, not a name. Calling someone "Goody Lastname" immediately evokes the Salem Witch Trials for anyone who's read the stories, which feels like a deliberate invocation on the part of the writers, and thus becomes very confusing when Wednesday refers to Goody as if that were her actual first name. Did the writers not understand how it worked? Or is it that ''Wednesday'' hasn't read The Crucible and mistakes Goody for a name, as it seems like a perfectly reasonable name to ''her''?

* Hydes in and of themselves are utterly terrifying, given there's no telling who is one and, like Tyler, they themselves might not even know what they are until it is too late. With that said, the kicker is ''the process'' of one awakening as a Hyde which includes going through an initial trauma that brings the monster out and then someone putting them through continuous torture until the Hyde becomes completely submissive to who is essentially their abuser, all while fully succumbing to their Hyde-half's bloodthirsty and sadistic nature. Needless to say this opens an ugly water tank of worms, and needless to say Uncle Fester was damn right in saying people who use Hydes to do their dirty work are "next level sickos".

* The flowers Thornhill gives to Wednesday have meaning. In flower language, the black Dahlia means "betrayal", while the white Oleander means renewal and destiny. White Oleander is also deadly. In short, Thornhill basically tells Wednesday, "I'm going to betray and kill you to fulfill our destiny to renew status quo." All with two flowers. Impressive, actually.

\n** The most likely answer is that the writers just wanted a MeaningfulName. But in the world of the show, there are a couple of possible answers, from most likely to least;
*** Wednesday, Morticia, and Crackstone used her title as a formality, and everyone else who heard it simply assumed that Goody was her real name.
*** Goody's real name was [[RiddleForTheAges lost to history at some point]], and Wednesday simply never had time to ask about it, and just used the first appropriate name or title she was given.
*** Wednesday, being *Wednesday*, simply didn't care enough to find out her real name, because it wasn't relevant to the case.
*** Goody took it as an actual name at some point after escaping the fire, either as a MeaningfulName, or to [[ThatManIsDead move on from her old life]], or just as an alias to protect herself.

* The sirens are actually not doing well at all during the boat race and would lose even more easily than they do if they didn't resort to cheating. This makes sense, because while they are water creatures, they are not used to ''rowing'' - normally, they just ''swim'', and then their speed comes from their tailfins, not from their arms.

*Laurel refers to her brother having taken a much more violent approach to killing off the outcasts, and dying for it. Considering that we see in the show that the blood of an Addams is needed to awaken their ancestor Joseph Crackstone, and that her brother tried to kill Gomez, that makes their whole feud make even more sense beyond the love triangle over Morticia; he wanted Gomez' blood to awaken Crackstone!
