Who Is Tyler's Mum in Wednesday
Here’s where it gets juicy. Remember Laurel Gates? The sweet, gardening lady who turns out to be a vengeful, monster-controlling psychopath? Well, she and Francine were friends. But not just friends—they were partners in crime.
Francine actually helped Laurel commit the horrific murders that started the whole mess. She didn’t just bake cookies; she baked trouble. We learn this through a series of flashbacks that will make you gasp into your coffee.
The show cleverly uses Francine to explain why Tyler is so messed up. He inherited a monster gene—literally! The Hyde monster inside him is a hereditary curse, passed down from his mother’s side of the family.
The Creepy Part: Francine Was a Hyde, Too
Yep, Tyler’s mum wasn’t just a normal human who gave him bad hair genes. She was a murderous Hyde herself. This means Tyler didn’t become a monster because of bad parenting or teenage angst. It’s in his blood.
The show never shows us Francine’s monster form, but we hear about her rampages. She was so dangerous that her own husband, the Sheriff, had to lock her away. Imagine having to handcuff your wife in your own basement. Awkward family dinners, right?
This explains why Sheriff Galpin is so obsessed with catching Wednesday. He’s terrified that his son will follow in his mother’s footsteps. Spoiler: he does. Big time.
