It's a very good episode with lots of great moments including some twists and turns that resembles a sequel launched this year - No spoilers.
It somehow gave me a nostalgic feeling, reminding me of the classic Adam's Family movies with Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston, but with a much more darker tone.

Let's start at the end. Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega are incredible. Anyone who watches this, is going to see that plainly. They've both entered into the realm of Christina Ricci's smile from "Family Values". I spent the entire time in disbelief over just how incredible it was to watch this episode!
Let's talk about the season up to this point. It's been fantastic! The number of setups and payoffs feels as if the story tellers know how to write for streaming services. The twists feel earned but also pulling a thin line between threaded intent and gotcha for the sake of it. Either way, the team is bringing their best this season.
Let's talk about how the rest of the family is finding space in this season. In the last, we pretty much received all of Wednesday. They were wise to give us a dark hero we honestly love. The satire stretches back into its roots in this season, and the likes of Guizman and Jones really give this series engaging adult figures.
Let's return to Ortega and Myers. What they do in this episode is incredible. I was bouncing in my seat. They took each other to a level of acting I never expected but my heart earnestly yearned to experience.
Let's talk about the dialog. It is both humbling and elevating. The lessons they learned from this episode, how they both articulate it as characters, is so pitch perfect my head hurts (in a good way).
Thank you for this show and this episode. This series is quickly becoming my favorite. Thank you for working so hard at elevating it to a masterpiece.

Easily the best episode of the whole series. Yes.
It has its downsides of course but we can truly see the heart of the show interacting and watching their development in a fun way. Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega blew this completely out the water, outstanding performances from both of them. The show thrives when these two get to act around each other, easily the best chemistry here.

This episode is an absolute master-class in acting and should be taught in film schools. The fact that Ortega and Myers are above to not only convincingly, but flawlessly pull off their opposite character personas and yet still have the Wednesday and Enid radiate out from a completely different body speaks volumes to how skilled they truly are.
From Myers's millimetre eyebrow twitching as Wednesday is consumed with rage, to Ortega's insanity as Enid uncontrollably prances throughout Nevermore, I would have never envisioned this before this episode. Putting the ending as an establishing shot was genius, as I went from "This is absolutely ridiculous" to "This is terrible" to "This is a joke" to "This is hilarious" to "This is the best episode of the season" all within an hour. Evie Templeton was absolutely amazing in this episode as well. And yet, the episode was overlaid with darker undertones of Tyler's sub-plot. Is rehabilitation of a Hyde possible? Would Tyler want to be fully human again?

Oh my God, that was hands down the best episode ever! Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega completely stole the show - their acting was absolutely phenomenal, proving once again what incredibly talented actresses they are. The chemistry between them was just off the charts, every scene felt so natural and powerful that it kept me hooked from start to finish. And then we had Lady Gaga, looking absolutely stunning and elevating everything even more. This episode truly had it all: amazing performances, emotional depth, and unforgettable moments. Honestly, we need more episodes like this, because it was perfection from beginning to end!

Season 2 started slowly, and the third and fourth episodes were downright lackluster. This episode is where the season finally finds its footing, delivering the right mix of humor, intrigue, inventiveness and heart. It sets things on the right track for a satisfying final two episodes that redeem the season. The performance of Jenna Ortega in this episode is particularly praiseworthy, displaying wit and charisma while playing against type.

Easily the best episode of the entire show (thus far, anyway). Burton and his team have taken a well-worn plot device - one which has been used many, many times in various movies and TV shows (one quite recently) - and given us the best version of it you will ever see. Until now, the best take on this concept, imho, was a well-known episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Well, "Woe Thyself" now takes the cake. In fact, this plot device should now be permanently put to bed, because it will never be done better than it is here.
As well-done as this episode is by all involved, the lion's share of the greatness of it goes to the AMAZING performances of Jenna and Emma. "Wednesday" fans - like me - basically worship the ground these two walk on and love the everything they do. Well, even their biggest fans - which are legion - will be blown away by their work here. It is literally impossible to overstate the greatness of their performances. If Jenna and Emma aren't both nominated for acting Emmys for this episode, it will basically be a crime against humanity.
I envy all "Wednesday" fans who haven't seen it yet and will experience this episode for the first time. When The Event happens - you'll know it when it does, believe me - "Wednesday" fans everywhere will be bouncing up and down on their couches, clapping their hands and cackling with delight. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Jenna and Emma were given the script for this episode. They were both clearly having an absolute blast.
One more quick note - like many "Wednesday" fans, I have been a little bored with the Slurp story-line. Well, not anymore. Slurp's relevance to the story is revealed and, in true "Wednesday" fashion, it's delightfully weird and creepy.
To anyone who has not watched it yet, stop reading any reviews or articles about it. Stay off any Reddit or Twitter threads about it. Turn off your phone (gasp!), click on your Netflix account, and prepare to be amazed.

What happens to Wednesday and Enid during this episode is a gimmick seen in many movies and TV shows. As always with this premise, it is as good as the actors portraying the characters. Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers are both excellent, taking this great opportunity to vary their usual performance styles.
For me the concept works better in a TV show. We have had one and a half seasons of character consistency, so this makes the change more effective than it would be in a movie with a half-hour establishment.
Although the story remains engaging the above aspect dominates the episode. The focus is on these characters and their relationship, but also the machinations of the antagonistic characters, before plots converge. Arguably it goes on a bit too long and certain characters become less interesting than they were a few episodes ago. However, there is plenty of all round spectacle and entertainment to enjoy.
For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round up.

Ep 6 "Woe Thyself" is the Freaky Friday twist I didn't know I needed. 8.5/10
What starts as a desperate attempt to reclaim psychic powers spirals into a body swap... with Wednesday trapped in Enid's lively form and vice versa. To watch Ortega embody Enid's bounce and Myers home in on Wednesday's stillness is jaw-dropping matched performance... so much in sync I couldn't stop applauding it.
The consequences are more than comedic: Enid's outrage at color brings real drama ("allergic" to brightness), while Wednesday flirts awkwardly with warmth. The episode strengthens their emotional bond, and rewrites premonition stakes.
Then there's the cameo: Lady Gaga herself, drifting in as Rosaline Rotwood's spirit to warn Wednesday about the Raven's Gaze. On paper, it's genius... tying the viral "Bloody Mary" dance craze to the show proper. In practice, it's a 90-second drop-in that sets the swap in motion and then vanishes.
A few logic shortcuts exist - because, series magic - but this installment redeems Part 2's pacing with creativity, character, and genuine laughs. It's weird, warm, and wildly well-played. Exactly the kind of weird Wednesday should be doing.

Isaac has a plan to remove Françoise's Hyde curse by using the LOIS equipment at Willow Hill and save her. But Wednesday has a plan and goes to an old gravestone of a past Nevermore teacher, Rosaline Rotwood.
"Professor Rotwood was a legendary Raven... Her psychic sight was extraordinary. Rotwood is buried in the Nevermore graveyard. Her headstone is imbued with her dark energy. If a Raven recites the inscription etched underneath, you will be granted temporary sight.will be granted temporary site" - Grandmama So if Wednesday can get her psychic sight back, she can find and stop Tyler and his mother. But as Wednesday is about to finish,, Enid, interrupts her and they switch bodies.
"You broke the Raven"s gaze. Now it's playing a dirty trick." - Larissa Weems And they only have until dawn to switch back or they will both die!
Wow! Again, What an Awesome episode! Wednesday and Enid do a "Freaky Friday" and it is nothing short of spectacular. Absolutely brilliant acting! Totally convinced me they changed places. And I love seeing more of Morticia and family. Just an amazing cast and the story is getting better and better.
