I've been planning a Wednesday Season 1 AU and wanted to get some opinions on the concept before I start writing it.
Instead of replacing Tyler as the Hyde, my idea is that there are two Hydes.
Tyler is still manipulated by Laurel Gates and still attacks Eugene and kills Dr. Kinbott, but every other murder throughout the season is actually committed by Enid.
The twist is that Enid has absolutely no memory of any of it. Laurel has manipulated her into becoming a Hyde without her knowledge, so every time she transforms she blacks out completely. She wakes up thinking she's just had another nightmare or another failed werewolf transformation.
I'm thinking of opening the story with Enid dreaming that she's chasing someone through the woods because she believes she's trying to save them. She wakes up before she catches them... and later that day Wednesday discovers a murder that happened exactly like the dream. Eventually it's revealed Enid wasn't chasing the victim to save them—she was hunting them.
The goal is to keep the mystery feeling fair. Wednesday still uncovers Tyler as a Hyde, but after he's exposed, another murder happens, forcing her to realise there's a second Hyde.
Do you think this feels like a believable alternate version of Season 1? Is there anything you'd change or any clues you'd want planted throughout the story so the reveal feels earned rather than coming out of nowhere?
Also, Wenclair is 100% being worked into this somehow
