Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWednesday's typewriter doesn't have the English QWERTY layout, but the German QWERTZ. 1) the "Y" and "Z" keys are swapped from their places on English keyboards, since "Z" is more often used in German than in English; 2) Unique German characters are seen, namely eszett (a double S that looks like a Greek beta) and U-umlaut; 3) the shifted characters on the number keys are notably different that English typewriters of the era. It's age is also apparent: there's no "1" key, which was substituted for a lowercase "L" since they looked the same on paper. It wasn't until the advent of computers that a distinction was needed between "l" and "1". A German typewriter goes quite well with Wednesday's perfect mastery of German, as heard in Friend or Woe (2022) when she tried to dissuade German tourists from taking the 'authentic' fudge.
- GoofsOne of the photographs that falls out of the music box is of Wednesday, Enid and Tyler in Tyler's car on their way to the Gates' home. There isn't enough time for the photo to be taken, developed and then placed in the home before they got there.

Featured review
The weakest episode by far, ruined by Fred Armisen
This episode carries along the narrative quite well, but the inclusion of Fred Armisen just absolutely ruins the experience and atmosphere.
His consistently high pitched, over-acted voice pulls me out of the experience, and reminds me of a poorly thought out Saturday Night Live sketch. I'm honestly surprised they let Fred take on this role, it's just that bad. The constant "inside jokes", bad puns, and tongue-in-cheek dark comments create a much different vibe than the rest of the cast provides.
The entire episode I was waiting patiently for the moment he left the screen, and I could continue watching the show in relative peace.
