Trivia
Wednesday'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 dissuaded German tourists from taking the 'authentic' fudge.

Goofs
One 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.

Better than the previous one.

The previous episode has been a lower point, it seems. This episode was quite interesting again. There are a couple of plot holes (the photographs were too recent, no time for being developed, the house was empty too quickly) but in general it was good.

In this episode, Wednesday is at her peak of selfishness and it shows that she is not only an original spirit but a real jerk. I found that a little inconsistent. She had felt guilty about Eugene even when his attack was not her fault (she told him not to go alone) but the she makes the same mistake, but worse, with Tyler and Enid. And she also asked for Xavier help without reciprocating. And of course she did not acknowledged the good intentions of those who made her a party So, I am glad she hopefully does a little grow up in the close future.
