ORTEGA DANCES TO BLACKPINK: The Body Swap That Broke The Internet
You thought Wednesday Addams was predictable? Think again! Netflix just dropped a massive spoiler about Season , and it confirms the show is leaning into full, glorious chaos. The sixth episode, “Woe Thyself,” features a direct, brilliant parody of the classic Disney movie, Freaky Friday, when Wednesday Addams and her colorful roommate, Enid Sinclair, are forced to switch bodies!
But the real headline is the star’s jaw-dropping transformation. The episode opens with Jenna Ortega’s normally stone-faced character suddenly “bopping” to BLACKPINK’s “BOOMBAYAH” while applying brightly-colored makeup. The sequence gets even wilder as Wednesday cheerfully dances around Nevermore’s quad, complimenting classmates and greeting everyone with unsettling enthusiasm. It’s revealed that Enid is in Wednesday’s body, and Ortega’s over-the-top, bubbly performance is an instant viral masterpiece!
Insiders claim that even though Tim Burton didn’t direct this specific episode, his signature touch—subversive, darkly comedic twists—is all over this chaotic scene, proving his heavy involvement as an executive producer and director of half the season’s episodes is paying off.
WONDER WOMAN WOLF OUT: The Stakes Get Terrifying
The hilarious body swap stems from a major breach of Nevermore rules. Wednesday was trying to get her powers back at the grave of former teacher and powerful Raven, Lady Gaga’s Rosaline Rotwood. Enid interrupts the ritual—something the spirit explicitly warned Wednesday not to do—and the price is paid immediately: the magical body swap.
The twist allows Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers to deliver their “all-time best performances,” showcasing their range. While Enid (as Wednesday) attends a dinner with the Addams family—a scenario that is predictably hilarious—the situation quickly gets serious at Willow Hill.
Wednesday, who is still trapped in Enid’s body, is forced to confront Tyler and Agnes. Her overwhelming emotions cause her to “wolf out,” or transform into a werewolf, using the metamorphosis to save Enid and Agnes from the villains. This is a massive twist that gives Wednesday an incredible power boost through her best friend’s body! The episode wraps when both girls confess their appreciation for each other, breaking the spell and returning them to their “normal” selves—for now.
ACTRESS ANXIETY: Ortega and Myers Were ‘Terrified’
While the performances look effortless and hilarious on screen, the two lead actresses admitted the body swap was a source of massive stress. In a shared interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Emma Myers revealed she was “so scared” to body swap into the famously stoic Wednesday.
Jenna Ortega felt the exact same pressure, saying the switch was “terrifying” for her as well. She praised Myers for her “so bubbly” portrayal of Enid, noting that playing the colorful werewolf required a surprisingly challenging “lot of physicality,” the opposite of Wednesday’s signature stillness.
Myers and Ortega only learned about the plan a month before filming, according to an interview with Deadline. This lack of prep time forced them to rely heavily on each other, despite being “uncomfortable” portraying each other’s deeply internalized characters in front of one another. This high-stakes, quick turnaround filming schedule is typical of the chaos that makes Netflix shows so addictive.
EMMA MYERS’ HISTORY: She’s The Queen of Body Swaps
The body swap storyline may have been a scramble for Jenna Ortega, but Emma Myers is a seasoned veteran of the genre. After her debut in Wednesday, Myers went on to star in the Netflix comedy Family Switch, which is yet another direct take on the Freaky Friday concept!
In Family Switch, Myers played CC Walker, who switches bodies with her mom, played by Jennifer Garner, while the rest of the family—dad Ed Helms and brother Brady Noon—switch with each other and even the family dog! Myers’ expertise in the subgenre guaranteed the “Wednesday” parody had the right comedic timing.
Ortega stressed the importance of the episode, stating that the unique twist was “really beneficial for these two characters” because it was dedicated to strengthening their relationship. She believes the relationship between Wednesday and Enid is one of the “strongest points of our show.”
FUTURE SHOCK: Enid Becomes An Alpha
The body swap episode doesn’t just offer closure; it introduces a massive new storyline for the next season. The core lesson learned by the duo was about appreciation and vulnerability. Wednesday learned to let her guard down, while Enid gained confidence from being in Wednesday’s “unstoppable” body.
The wolf-out moment was a game-changer. Enid is now confirmed as an Alpha, a transformation that will immediately challenge the dynamics between the roommates and elevate Enid’s status at Nevermore. The stage is set for Wednesday Season to be even more epic and action-packed.
While the showrunners likely won’t repeat the body swap for the main characters, some insiders are hoping for a running gag where Lady Gaga returns to accidentally swap another set of characters in a future season. The possibility of a never-ending body swap chaos is delicious and exactly what this series needs.
THE CLIFFHANGER: Can Wednesday Handle A Powerful, Alpha Enid?
The “Freaky Friday” episode successfully broke the intense emotional walls between Wednesday and Enid, but the resolution immediately sets up a new challenge for Season . Enid is now an Alpha—a powerful, confident werewolf who has learned to appreciate her strength. Wednesday has been “knocked off her feet a bit” by the emotional chaos.
The ultimate question is: Can Wednesday Addams, who thrives on being the most powerful, stoic person in the room, handle having a roommate who is now an equally powerful, confident Alpha?
