Episode 5 of Wednesday starts with questions around how well Wednesday knows her parents. She is trying to figure out what happened the night her dad was accused of killing someone back when he was a student at Nevermore. In a flashback, we see a young Larissa giving a statement to the police blaming Morticia while Gomez is being taken away in handcuffs.
At present time, it is the official parent's weekend at the school and most parents have started arriving to spend the weekend with their children. The Addam family is in attendance and Morticia worries that Wednesday is not looking forward to seeing them. At the assembly, the principal gives an update on Eugene and tells the parents and the students that he is on the mend and is expected to make a full recovery. Enid asks Wednesday if she has gone to see him and she tells her that he is in a coma and she feels guilty for what happened to him.
Enid is also not excited to see her family, she is dreading her mother's judgmental personality because she is yet to wolf out. She and Wednesday hope to get through the weekend and be done with the forced family togetherness. They are not the only ones who find the weekend a bit taxing, Xavier's dad is a no-show and Bianca's mom showed up to create more problems. She is threatening Bianca to come back home and help her and swindle people using their powers. It seems as if the Garret case is linked to the current killings that are happening in town. This episode showed us a softer side to Wednesday, especially while she was talking to her brother about the love their parents have for each other. Enid standing up for herself was also a proud moment, sometimes parents don't really know what is good for their kids. It is up to the child to protect herself from her parents and Enid did exactly that. On the other hand, Bianca is being threatened by her own mother to do shady business for her stepfather. She is unable to protect herself from her mother and that is sad but hopefully, she will find her freedom. The principal calls Wednesday's parents for a meeting and tells them about the issues she has been having with Wednesday. She explains it has been rocky at best and asks them to attend a family therapy session with Dr Kinbott over the weekend. Morticia is against the idea but Gomez is up for it. They drive to town for the session and they are spotted by the sheriff who thinks that Gomez is a murderer who got free using underhand methods. Tyler tells him that at least Gomez cares enough to go to therapy with Wednesday and they get into an argument. The sheriff doesn't want to go for a family therapy session with Tyler and it is causing friction between them. As he leaves the cafe, the sheriff gets a call that the coroner has committed suicide.
