Viewers are curious to know why Wednesday sheds black tears in Season 2.
These suspicious tears appeared in Season 2 Episode 1, while she was trapped in a creepy serial killer’s basement. However, things get worrisome when Enid touches her, and she gets a shocking vision. Her best friend is about to die because of her fault. She instantly bleeds black tears out of her eyes and lies on the ground as Enid and Morticia try to wake her up. So, what do the black tears really mean for the titular character?
What do Wednesday’s black tears mean in Season 2?
Wednesday’s black tears aren’t a sign of sorrow but rather an indication that using her extraordinary psychic powers to a high potential is taking a toll on her body.
Before her vision of Enid’s demise, Wednesday had shed black tears, but she immediately wiped them off and also warned Thing not to tell anything about it to her mother, Morticia. Episode 1 witnesses Morticia Addams reveal some details on black tears and warns Wednesday not to dive deeper into Enid’s case. She explains to her that her tears are an indication that she’s exhausting her body to the utmost limits using her powers.
Morticia then moves to the topic of her sister and Wednesday’s aunt, Ophelia, who showed similar signs of psychic burnout. She reveals that Ophelia shed black tears, as she was overwhelmed by her intense powers. Worried about her family’s history repeating, Morticia fears that Wednesday might go on a dangerous path. However, she reassures her mother that she has her powers in control.
Morticia sits there with a book, which has an image of a female screaming with black tears. It’s likely a depiction of the pain that came to this female with intense visions. Despite Wednesday’s reassurance that she has control over her powers, her random seizures make it clear she is struggling more than she admits. The upcoming episode will likely shed some more light on the Addams family history with black tears and how Wednesday deals with her intense powers.
