Synopsis[]
After a productive summer break, Wednesday returns to Nevermore as a grudging campus celebrity – and the target of a dangerous stalker.
Plot[]
Wednesday spent her vacation mastering her psychic ability using Goody's book of spells to do so. She also recounts a time when she was six years old, she gave a presentation on her favorite serial killer, the Kansas City Scalper.
She has Thing retrieve a bowling bowl that was found at the scene of a crime. She uses the bowling ball and obsidian talismanto get a vision and see the killer's identity. In her vision, she saw the bowling ball going down a bowling lane, the word ‘Kansas', a mailbox, a blonde doll, the serial killer cutting the doll's hair, and the van that the killer uses.
Wednesday arrives at the airport and goes through the security checkpoint. After passing through the metal detector, an alarm goes off, signaling that she had metal on her. She removes the brass knuckles she has and places them on a nearby table. When Wednesday didn't respond to a security guard asking if she had any more items on her person, she asked her coworker to use the handheld metal detector, which immediately detected more items. At this, Wednesday removes all contraband from herself and another security guard then requests that her bag be checked, with the x-ray machine revealing Thing inside.
After opening her bag, one of the guards pulls out Thing, and Wednesday explains that she is headed to the Junior Embalmers Convention in Kansas City and that Thing is a prosthetic hand. The guard then tells her that's not the problem and pulls out the sun cream, something that's over 3.4 ounces. After being scolded by the guard, Wednesday shoves Thing back into her backpack and gets on the plane.
At Kansas City, Wednesday approaches a dog-sitter named Chet LaTroy, recognizing him to be the serial killer. However as she tries to put him down with a taser, her powers are triggered and she experiences a vision of dolls; however, unlike the previous year, she also has black tears flowing from her eyes. She regains consciousness in LaTroy's dungeon, tied up at a table, surrounded by the dolls. LaTroy approaches her with the intention of killing and scalping her, but Thing puts him down. After Thing makes her aware of the black tears—which Wednesday belittles as "a psychic glitch", before cleaning them and admonishing Thing not to tell anybody about it, escpecially Morticia. Wednesday then takes a knife and assaults the Kansas City Scalper.
Some time later, Wednesday is in her bedroom at the Addams Mansion, with the front page of the Kansas City Sentinel announcing the Scalper having been scalped and arrested, and her role in submitting him to justice. She checks Goody's spellbook for an explanation of her black tears, but unsuccessfully. Morticia comes in complaining not having been able to spend much time with Wednesday during the summer, asking her about her novel—which Wednesday has no intention to show her—and hurrying her up, as Lurch finishes loading the luggages and they are leaving to Nevermore Academy.
While the family travels to the Academy, it revealed that Wednesday has been reaccepted back into the school while Pugsley has also been enrolled at the Academy, due to inheriting their Uncle Fester's electricity. Challenged by Wednesday who threatens to expel him from the car should he fail, he breaks down a signal of Stop, causing a car crash at an intersection. In the meantime, in the woods around Nevermore, a photographer, who is documenting an illicit affair between a man and a married woman, is assaulted by a storm of crows lead by a one-eyed raven. The birds chase him into his own van and kill him.
The Addams Family arrives at Nevermore where they see students starting a new term. Upon Morticia's desire for Wednesday to take care of Pugsley, she immediately acquaints her brother with her ground rules: no eye contact unless with permission, bullying assistance to be requested through writing, and Thing's reporting to her.
