Titled Now You See Me, Now You Woe, episode 4 delivers the season’s most shocking twist yet. Wednesday uncovers that the person behind the LOIS program, a sinister psychiatric project experimenting on outcasts, is not Dr. Fairburn, but her own assistant, Judi.

Far from the harmless receptionist she pretended to be, Judi reveals herself as “the Avian,” capable of commanding deadly crows and responsible for Sheriff Galpin’s death.

Meanwhile, Uncle Fester helps Wednesday break into Willow Hill Asylum, where they discover the underground lab. As power cuts during their escape, all the facility’s doors fly open, including Tyler’s.

In a more shocking twist, Tyler kills Thornhill, then violently attacks Wednesday, throwing her out of a tall window in the final scene.
