SYNOPSIS
Wednesday Addams has grown up and found love. So, what’s the problem? The young man, Lucas Beineke, is from Ohio, and his parents are coming to dinner to meet the family. Two different worlds are about to collide. Like any parents faced with a child in terrible trouble, Gomez and Morticia wonder, “Where did we go wrong?”
Wednesday begs her parents not to cancel the dinner and exhorts the entire family to act as ‘normal’ as possible when Lucas and his parents arrive. After what is a less-than-normal meal, Wednesday quiets the table for Lucas’ surprise announcement. But Gomez reminds Wednesday that, before anything else happens, it’s time for the traditional Addams family game, “Full Disclosure”. Wednesday blurts out the news: “Lucas and I are getting married!” Chaos engulfs both families like a tidal wave, and Fester, urges the Family Ancestors to work some magic – whipping up a sudden, terrible storm and trapping the Beinekes with the Addams family for the night.
While the storm rages, Wednesday packs a bag, but Lucas has no appetite for running away and getting married without his parents’ blessing. Once the rains have stopped, Fester heads outside for a couple of hours of moon-bathing, realizing, after observing everyone fighting, the sheer luck of being in a long-distance relationship, with the distant silver orb in the sky that smiles down on him from the heavens. Sitting under the family tree, contemplating the twists and turns of this most unusual night, Gomez realizes the thing he was most resistant to, his baby girl’s growing up, is inevitable, and proper. He sees that she’s a young woman in love. And that makes him happy. And a tiny bit sad.
With her father’s blessing, Wednesday offers Lucas one test to prove that he’s The One.
Gomez and Mal, two displaced husbands, realize they have more in common that they would have dared imagine only a few hours earlier.
With all three couples reunited, Fester is emboldened to make his move and launches himself to the moon.
It’s been a night of darkness. Everything’s changed. And the new, extended family understands: The unknown may be frightening, the darkness overwhelming, but if we don’t run from it, we may see our mysterious, miraculous lives finally illuminated. If we move toward the darkness, we might find love and acceptance.
For when it is dark enough, we can see the stars.
