Star Evie Templeton has revealed the deeper meaning behind Agnes DeMille’s emotional change of heart in Wednesday season 2, part 2. Agnes has been an interesting character throughout the second season of Wednesday. Her invisibility clearly made her a valuable asset for Wednesday’s (Jenna Ortega) investigation. Yet, she also struggled 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 whole new level. Wednesday didn’t appreciate the mimicry, however, and their confrontation led to the breakthrough Agnes sorely needed. During a scene with Emma Myers’ Enid, Agnes finally decides to embrace her inner “psycho,” letting go of Wednesday’s personality as she takes off her black, braided wig.

During an interview with ScreenRant‘s Grant Hermanns, Templeton described the scene as “truthful” and “important,” discussing how difficult it can be, in this age of social media, to accept your own individuality and maintain your self-worth.

I think that’s a very beautiful moment, and I think it meant a lot that that moment felt right and felt truthful, as well. I think that message of individuality and being yourself and knowing your self-worth is a very important message, especially for teenagers. I think it’s a funny time with social media and trying not to compare yourself with other people, and embracing who you are deep down. I think that’s a really important message, and it was great to play around with that and see what Agnes was like when you take down the walls that she’s put up.

Hopefully, now that she’s finally shed her Wednesday Addams persona, Agnes can become her true self. Her dance scene with Enid was the first step in accepting who she really is, flaunting her invisibility for the world to see rather than hiding behind it.

Wednesday season 3 can dig deeper into Agnes’ personal life and her background. We learned a bit about her family when her father came to pick her up in episode 8, “This Means Woe,” but there’s more to unpack there. Who is she when she’s not copying Wednesday Addams, and how did her childhood change her?

Our Take On Agnes’ Development In Wednesday Season 2

Agnes’ quest for an identity is clearly tied to her Outcast ability. Becoming invisible may be handy when you’re stealing trinkets from your principal or eavesdropping on private conversations, but it can also be lonely, a way to hide your true self from the rest of the world. The way the show incorporated Agnes’ need for validation with her obsession with Wednesday was genuinely compelling, especially within the school setting of Nevermore.

Nevermore is all about being different and celebrating those differences, after all. Now that she’s no longer “hiding in other people’s personalities,” it remains to be seen who Agnes really is. How much we’ll see of Agnes in Wednesday season 3 is still a mystery, though; for now, Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) are off to find Enid.
