Wednesday spoilers follow.
Wednesday's debut season certainly kept viewers on their toes with plenty of twists and turns in this perilous coming-of-age story.
Though season two has yet to be announced the story unfolds in such a way that suggests one is imminent. In fact it's very likely we've already seen its antagonist.
If you're scratching your head wondering who that could possibly be, we don't blame you. It's easy to have missed them, what with the Tyler hyde (Hunter Doohan) tearing out people's innards while Ms Thornhill dismembered their toes and whatnot.
A lot was going on. So much so that, while Wednesday's potential villain wasn't exactly hiding in plain sight, they were shunted to the side to make room for Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) to tirelessly and obsessively work towards unmasking the culprit behind Jericho's monster problem.
Even with that out of the way, there are still many contenders for the No.1 spot as Nevermore villain.
Ms Thornhill (Christina Ricci) may have been attacked by bees and received a literal face-stomping underneath Wednesday's boot but as the old saying goes, no body, no death. This probably means she is still at large, along with Tyler.
We're almost certain he's busted out of his restraints and escaped the law during his transformation into the hyde at the end.
There's also the little matter of Wednesday's first stalker – but all of these are likely to provide a healthy distraction for the real evil to work inconspicuously in the background. After all, it feels more their style.
By 'their' we are talking about a group known as Morning Song, headed by siren Gabrielle (Gracy Goldman).
If that name doesn't ring any bells, not to worry, you'll certainly remember her daughter Bianca (Joy Sunday), Wednesday's nemesis-turned-frenemy at Nevermore.
The two managed to find common ground after a dicey start but old tensions could resurface now that the Morning Song seem to have their hooks in Bianca.
Why does this new alliance between Bianca and her mother's 'cult' (as she dubs them) potentially pose a threat? Well, that has everything to do with power and intent.
Much like mythological sirens, Wednesday's versions are able to manipulate others with their siren song. By Bianca's own admission, they can control people's emotions intentionally (sometimes unintentionally) – an issue that led to the break-up between her and Xavier (Percy Hynes White) ahead of the first episode.
We learn the extent of this during Bianca's conversation with Wednesday. It is then she reveals that she is never sure if people's feelings towards her are true or if they are drawn to having feelings for her because of her siren qualities.
Later, the full effect of what the siren song can do comes to light when the school is under attack from Thornhill (aka Laurel, the main culprit behind the murders).
Bianca and her fellow siren clique remove the amulets which dull their powers and instruct the students to all leave the campus for their own safety. They have no choice but to willingly obey because, you know, siren song.
It is this gift and its strength that her mother wants to use in order to grow her cult.
When Gabrielle appears midway through the season, it's much to Bianca's horrified surprise. It is obvious from her expression that she hadn't anticipated her mother's arrival nor did she want it.
Eventually, we come to learn that Bianca had run away from her home and 'siren-ed' her way into Nevermore, using her powers to coerce the school into giving her a place.
Only scraps of info explain why she was so desperate to escape her mother. What we do know is that it's tied to Morning Song as well as her stepfather Gideon, who seems to be tied into things.
It's pretty hard to take Gabrielle at face value when she insists that Morning Song is "a personal development movement that helps people take control of their lives." Especially not when Bianca is quick to clarify that they are only interested in swindling people out of their money.
This siren manipulation tactic has worked for them thus far but a desperate Gabrielle reveals that her siren song is drying up, recruitment numbers are low and the wrong people are starting to ask questions.
This was pretty much a 'her problem,' until she threatened to expose the truth of how Bianca got into Nevermore unless she returned home to help with the family business. Bianca reluctantly agrees, not wanting to risk being outed. However it could already be too late as Morning Song's influence has already begun to spread to Jericho.
Lucas (Iman Marson) is the first to get tangled up in the siren's clutches when Gabrielle introduces him to the Morning Song self-help app billed to help him refocus his life.
Bianca is quick to warn him off, but it's likely he is not the only person a desperate Gabrielle has tried to recruit during her trip to Jericho for family day at Nevermore. It's also likely that their deception runs much deeper than extortion.
Judging by Sunday's comments, Morning Song's influence is definitely set to expand.
"I think the effect could be very, very wide and vast," she said during an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, when asked how dangerous they could become with Bianca by their side. She went on to say:
"As we see, her mum is mixed all the way up, and is already starting to spread the poison through the town that Bianca's in, very easily.
"Even though her mom's siren song is draining out – if Bianca was part of that, it would be even bigger. So I think [Jericho] have a lot to be afraid of when it comes to Morning Song."
Her fellow cast members also agree that they could be an upcoming threat when asked about season two predictions. The new something for Wednesday to sink her teeth into.
"They're going to touch more on that. It's super-interesting," said Hynes White confidently with Sunday chipping in to say:
"Yeah. It seems like a big bad. A whole town – a community of people."
Just imagine what havoc they could reach with that level of control. Watch out Jericho, something wicked this way comes.
All episodes of Wednesday are available to stream now on Netflix.
