Star Evie Templeton has revealed the deeper which means behind Agnes DeMille’s emotional change of coronary heart in Wednesday season 2, half 2. Agnes has been an attention-grabbing character all through the second season of Wednesday. Her invisibility clearly made her a worthwhile asset for Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) investigation. But, she additionally struggled together with her sense of self, as she sank deeper and deeper into her obsession with Wednesday.
In Wednesday season 2, episode 7, “Woe Me the Money,” Agnes took her hero worship to a complete new stage. Wednesday did not respect the mimicry, nevertheless, and their confrontation led to the breakthrough Agnes sorely wanted. Throughout a scene with Emma Myers’ Enid, Agnes lastly decides to embrace her internal “psycho,” letting go of Wednesday’s persona as she takes off her black, braided wig.
Throughout an interview with ScreenRant’s Grant Hermanns, Templeton described the scene as “truthful” and “important,” discussing how troublesome it may be, on this age of social media, to just accept your personal individuality and keep your self-worth.
I believe that’s a really stunning second, and I believe it meant so much that that second felt proper and felt truthful, as nicely. I believe that message of individuality and being your self and figuring out your self-worth is a vital message, particularly for youngsters. I believe it’s a humorous time with social media and attempting to not examine your self with different individuals, and embracing who you might be deep down. I believe that’s a extremely essential message, and it was nice to mess around with that and see what Agnes was like whenever you take down the partitions that she’s put up.

Agnes’ quest for an id is clearly tied to her Outcast capacity. Turning into invisible could also be useful whenever you’re stealing trinkets out of your principal or eavesdropping on personal conversations, nevertheless it may also be lonely, a option to cover your true self from the remainder of the world. The best way the present integrated Agnes’ want for validation together with her obsession with Wednesday was genuinely compelling, particularly throughout the faculty setting of Nevermore.
Nevermore is all about being completely different and celebrating these variations, in spite of everything. Now that she’s not “hiding in other people’s personalities,” it stays to be seen who Agnes actually is.
