Trivia
Each of the four rowing teams is themed on a different Edgar Allan Poe story. The teams are The Black Cat (black), The Cask of Amontillado (red), The Pit and the Pendulum (violet), and The Gold Bug (yellow).

Goofs
Predatory plants like the Venus Flytrap do not instantly snap shut as depicted, even though they have trigger hairs able to respond within a fraction of a second. This is because detritus falling from the trees above is of no value to a carnivore: instead, the plant will wait until a second hair is triggered up to 20 seconds later, and only then is the trap closed on what should be a living victim. However, this scene takes place in a classroom full of vampires, werewolves, sirens, etc., so some leeway is allowed for fantasy.

Quotes
Wednesday Addams: I act as if I don't care if people dislike me... Deep down... I secretly enjoy it.

Curious

In this episode, the story makes you curious about the mysteries that appear one by one. I really enjoyed the storyline in this episode. Found an answer, but the answer even gives more mystery. So story-wise there is no decline from the previous episode. The jokes that are made are also quite intriguing when watching with good timing.

Overall the visuals look well and good. I like the color grading, the cinematography is also good. There is one shot that feels lacking, namely the moment when the POV camera for our main character, Wednesday, is going down the stairs. It felt forced through an instant and somehow tucked in.
