Wednesday would never expect his life to be like his parent. He would even bet on it. Guess he spoke too soon when she walk in his view, pooled in red blood and a nervous smile. Emotions over emotions of something he never felt just washed over him...

Tom had been stuck in the parking area, unable to find a place to park. Meanwhile, Tully and Margaret engaged in conversation with the Addams, their son Tully Jr. dressed in a felt elf costume. Margaret beamed proudly as she held her son's shoulders.
"Isn't he adorable? I made this myself," Margaret exclaimed, her eyes shining with maternal pride.
Morticia regarded the costume with her usual poise. "It's charming. What is he -- a lizard?" she inquired with a hint of curiosity.
Wednesday, never one to miss an opportunity for a sardonic comment, followed up with a scoff, clearly mocking the situation. "Of course not, he's the next targeted victim on my list of 'to-kill'," he quipped, his tone dripping in truth. It scared the poor child that he cried on the spot.
Gomez beamed with paternal pride as he watched the family hurriedly retreat from the scene, undoubtedly unnerved by Wednesday's dark humor. "That's my son," he declared proudly, giving Wednesday an affectionate pat on the back.
As families gathered around the stage, the Addams clan snagged a prime spot in the middle row. Gomez even saved a seat, probably for Fester if he showed up. The show kicked off with a group of adorable seven-year-olds singing "We Are The World."
But for Wednesday, it was pure agony. He fought the urge to stab something and settled for glaring at the kids, who started weeping under his gaze. His impatience grew with each note.
When the song finally ended, the audience erupted into enthusiastic applause. Morticia and Gomez joined in politely, but Lurch seemed antsy, shifting in his seat, while Granny looked utterly bored, her eyes half-closed. And there was Wednesday, tapping his foot impatiently, counting down the seconds until he lost it.
"The children are next," Morticia remarked, her tone indicating her anticipation for what was to come. Just in time, Tom came, running with his camera: "Did I miss it?!" Granny quickly usher the man beside him: "No, no dear. They're up now." She took a camera out, but more old-fashioned.
As the performance continued, Fester suddenly appeared, pushing his way through the crowd to join his family. Their faces lit up with joy at his unexpected arrival. "I knew you couldn't stay away, old man," Gomez whispered to Fester with a knowing grin, acknowledging his brother's inevitable return to the fold.
Pugsley and Adriana, clad in their elaborate costumes, are nearing the climax of their scene from "Hamlet." As they engage in their duel, they throw themselves into their roles with all the fervor of little Addams.
Wednesday noticing Tom's enthusiastic expression, his mouth wide open in amazement and expectation for the play, he leans to whisper to Tom, "I would close my mouth when they start." Tom wasn't able to question why when Adriana started her lines.
"How every circumstance conspires against me,
Urging my sluggish vengeance! O, henceforth,
Let my thoughts be blood-soaked or be deemed worthless!
If I must strike you lifeless, I shall!"
Pugsley lands the initial blow, slicing Adriana's arm. Her sleeve tears and blood spurts forth. He screams: "A hit, a palpable one indeed." The audience was baffled when blood started splatting, it looked too real and gruesome. Tom was speechless to say, that did was defiantly not the play he was expecting.
Pugsley and Adriana continue their confrontation, exchanging blows and drawing blood. In a fatal strike, Pugsley slashes Adriana's jugular. She emits terrible gurgling noises as blood spurts out in arterial bursts.
She dramatically stretches her line,
"O, proud death! What grand feast awaits
In thy eternal realm?"
In a final vengeful moment, Adriana hacks at Pugsley's left arm, cutting it off easily like it was nothing, sending a huge gusher of blood out his stump. The blood splattered a concerning amount to the crowds, drenching them. Then the arm drops to the stage and bounces off to Judge Womack's lap.
Adriana clutches her bleeding throat, falling backward as her character has a hard time dying despite the crucial wound. Wednesday bit his lips to hold his laughter as this was what Adriana was talking about, 'her flair.' A horrible act of a character's death.
"Sweet oblivion, open your arms." She gurgles her last words before officially claiming dead.
The audience sits in stunned silence, their jaws hanging open in disbelief as if they've witnessed an oil painting come to life. Each member of the Addams Family springs to their feet as one, erupting into wild applause that reverberates throughout the auditorium.
Gomez's booming voice cuts through the applause, "Bravo!" He claps enthusiastically, his eyes shining with pride.
As the stage lights illuminate, revealing Pugsley and Adriana, they bow deeply, graciously accepting the thunderous applause from their family. Adriana's eyes sparkle with excitement, while Pugsley wears a proud grin on his face.
Fester, known for his exuberance, applauds with unparalleled enthusiasm, his claps echoing through the room.
Wednesday, usually stoic, surprises everyone with his unexpected laughter, which soon joins the chorus of applause. His amusement spreads like wildfire among his family members, who can't help but join in the merriment.
"As a surgeon, is concerning how accurate the amount of blood that have splattered over me," Caught up in the moment, Tom, Adriana's father, remarks with a chuckle, "Great job, sweetheart!"
