Ep 4. Morticia Meets Royalty

Morticia Meets Royalty is the fourth episode of the second season of the beloved sitcom, The Addams Family. In this episode, we find the Addamses getting ready for a visit from some very prestigious guests. Morticia's distant relatives, the Duchess of Sylvania and her son, Prince Hugo, are coming for a visit, and the Addamses are determined to make a good impression.

As always, Morticia is calm and collected, despite the pressure of hosting royal guests. She prepares an exquisite table setting and decorates the house with the utmost care, ensuring that everything looks perfect. Meanwhile, Gomez is busy trying to impress the prince with his athletic prowess. Fester is practicing his royal etiquette and manners, while Wednesday and Pugsley are practicing their curtsies.

However, things don't go quite as planned when when the visitors arrive. The Duchess and Prince Hugo turn out to be quite different than Morticia imagined. The Duchess is a bit of a snob and Prince Hugo is quite clumsy and accident-prone. Morticia is initially taken aback by their behavior and demeanor, but quickly regains her composure and welcomes them with warmth and grace.

As the visit progresses, it becomes clear that the Duke and Prince Hugo are not as enamored with the Addamses as Morticia had hoped. They disapprove of their unconventional lifestyle and find their macabre tendencies to be distasteful. Morticia tries her best to charm them, but it becomes increasingly difficult as the Duke and Prince continue to express their discomfort.

Just when it seems that things couldn't possibly get any worse, disaster strikes. During tea, Prince Hugo accidentally knocks over a teapot, spilling hot tea all over the Duchess's lap. Morticia responds with grace and poise, helping to clean up the mess and soothe the Duchess's injured pride. However, the Duke sees this as the last straw and announces that they will be leaving early.

As the Duchess and Prince prepare to depart, Morticia begins to feel defeated and embarrassed. However, she is surprised when the Duchess speaks up, admitting that she has been quite taken with the Addamses all along. She explains that she was brought up in a life of privilege and luxury, but has always been envious of the Addams family's carefree and unconventional lifestyle. She admires Morticia's grace under pressure and Gomez's boundless energy and enthusiasm.

In the end, the Duke and Prince Hugo leave on a positive note, with a newfound respect for the Addams family. Morticia is left feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that she was able to win over even the most difficult of guests. The episode ends on a cheerful note, with the Addamses sitting down to enjoy a celebratory dinner together.
