Wednesday packs up her spider and runs away after being scolded for using Uncle Fester’s blasting caps instead of her own. Wednesday writes this note to her parents:

DEAR MOTHER AND FATHER, I HATE YOU. LOVE, WEDNESDAY

P.S. DON’T BOTHER LOOKING FOR BE BECAUSE I’M NOT ANYWHERE. GOODBYE. W.

Gomez and Morticia call the Police Department’s Bureau of Missing Persons and get Sgt. Haley. Before Sgt. Haley arrives Fester has found Wednesday hiding in Pugsley’ s room. Morticia decides to use reverse psychology on Wednesday, who promptly runs away for real. She shows up at Haley’s desk at the police station.
