Opening scene

*phone ringing* and a house is shown

"Was that your house?" Enid asked a still pale Wednesday who nodded not saying a word, which made Enid look at her worried

Zooms into the kitchen where we see tara end the call

Many look back at Wednesday surprised at her wearing a pink top and not her usual black and white attire

She walks back over and it shows she's texting her friend amber, 'Mom's out of town again. YOU should come over HERE. Free dinner. Many bing watch options.' 'Have to do better.' 'Unlocked liquor cabinet.' 'SOLD!'

Wednesday suddenly got many looks sent to her from that text, while she suddenly looked away whistling a note

She smiles before taking a breath out of her inhaler when the phone starts ringing again

"Your asthmatic?" Bianca asks while Wednesday mutters a small yes in reply

She ignores it and texts amber, 'fucking landline won't stop ringing' 'Is Wes still bothering you?' As it's still ringing she puts her phone down and picks up the phone, "Hello?"

"Hello, is Christina there?"

"no she's not available may I take a message?"

"Sorry, yeah, I'm a friend from group oh... shit." Tara smiles and asks, "from her shit?"

Seeing the looks she was being given she quickly said, "look I sweared a lot back then sorry"

"Um, just tell her I'm from group. I'm Charlie. She has my number"

"She goes to a group?" There is a drop of silence before he replies, "Look, I shouldn't have... just tell her Charlie called"

"And I will do exactly that Charlie, once you tell me what kinda group we're taking about?"
"AA, NA" she asks while texting amber 'Dude I think this is my moms new bf...' as he chuckles and starts taking again, "well you sound like exactly like she describes you", "my mom talks about me in group" she says disbelievingly

"Sorry I know we're watching something in your past but why this specific conversation?" Xavier asks looking at Wednesday curiously, where she quickly replies a "you'll see". He still looks curious but decides to drop it for now

"Look I don't think I can really talk about that"

"what does she say about me?" Tara asks.

"Well she loves you very much"

"ooh what does she love about me"

"uh okay well she loves that you're creative. You love art and TV and movies".

"Kay well lots of people love movies" he quickly replies by saying, "She says you love scary movies. And that you guys have that in common. She's proud of making a fan out of you", this strikes a chord with Tara as she replies "she is?"

"Why do you sound so surprised?" Eugene asks her as she replies "just didn't sound like something she would say"

"She told me the other day she was wondering... what's your favourite scary movie?" He asks as Tara replies "uhh.. The Babadook. It's an amazing meditation on motherhood and grief"

"The babadook?" Pugsley asks in question as she looks at him and says, "what it's a really good movie"

"Isn't that a little fancy pants?"

"Well, it's elevated horror."

"What's that mean, elevated horror"

"You know, like... scary, but with complex emotional and thematic underpinnings. Not just schlocky cheeseball nonsense with wall to wall jump scares."
