Is Dr Valerie Kinbott the Stalker in Wednesday Season 2?

Dr. Valerie Kinbott was one of the main characters in the first season of Netflix’s hit show Wednesday. As a therapist living in the town of Jericho, she treated Wednesday Addams and other students from Nevermore Academy. However, Wednesday came to suspect Valerie of being involved in the murders that were occurring in Jericho. While Valerie turned out to be innocent, Wednesday’s new stalker in the season 1 finale has fans wondering if Kinbott could return as a villain in season 2.

A Mysterious New Season

The end of Wednesday’s first season set up an eerie new mystery. After unmasking Hyde and his master Laurel Gates, Wednesday receives a text from an unknown number saying they are watching her. This stalker will likely be the main antagonist of season 2.

Little is known about the plot of the upcoming season, which recently began production. Showrunners have hinted that it will expand the supernatural elements and worldbuilding of the show. They’ve also promised more action and horror, with each episode being visually stunning and memorable.

The addition of new characters in season 2 also raises suspicions. Any of them could potentially be the sinister stalker after Wednesday. Until the reveal, fans will be wondering if the stalker is secretly hiding among the new cast.

Is Kinbott Actually Dead?

When Wednesday accused Valerie of being the Hyde’s master, Valerie denied involvement before being gruesomely killed on-screen. This seemed to absolve Valerie of suspicion. However, some fans question if she could still return, theorizing her death was faked.

Valerie had the means and opportunity to be the stalker. As a therapist, she had access to private information about Wednesday and her classmates that could fuel an obsession. Perhaps she staged her own murder to avoid capture.

Some speculate Valerie faked her death before secretly continuing to stalk Wednesday. She could be lurking in season 2, plotting her next move. Valerie seeming to be killed by the Hyde she controlled would be a shocking twist.

Clues Against Valerie

However, there are also strong clues that Valerie is innocent and dead. When Wednesday accused her, Valerie seemed completely confused and disturbed by the allegations rather than acting guilty. Her death was also confirmed by Sheriff Galpin with no reason to suspect a cover-up.

Revealing Valerie as the stalker after her on-screen death would also betray the show’s established rules. Wednesday plays fair by laying clues that point to the true suspects. There’s no precedent of deceased characters returning from the grave.

Using an already cleared character as the stalker could feel cheap and illegitimate. Fans would likely feel tricked rather than impressed by the twist. The stalker being a new or existing living character feels more satisfying.

The Verdict?

While Valerie Kinbott could provide a shocking stalker reveal, the evidence strongly suggests she is truly dead with no villainous involvement. The stalker taking advantage of Valerie being unable to defend herself against accusations also provides extra tragedy to her story.

Wednesday deserves an all-new antagonist with an air of dangerous mystery. Dr. Kinbott returning from death to torment Wednesday would likely create more plot holes than exciting twists. Instead, season 2 should explore fresh horror and characters while giving Valerie’s death meaningful impact. She can rest in peace as Wednesday pursues her new twisted stalker.
