Location from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar
The school's botanical greenhouse — where Ms. Thornhill teaches botany and secretly cultivates the nightshade compounds she uses to control the Hyde.
The greenhouse serves a dual function in the show: it's where Marilyn Thornhill teaches botany (making her one of the more approachable teachers) and where she secretly cultivates the nightshade compounds used to activate and control Tyler's Hyde transformation. The location is both classroom and crime lab. Wednesday visits the greenhouse multiple times during her investigation, initially drawn by Thornhill's apparent helpfulness and later recognizing the botanical evidence connecting the teacher to the Hyde attacks. The plants themselves are clues — specific species with properties that match the chemical compounds found at crime scenes.
A large Victorian greenhouse attached to Nevermore's grounds — glass panels, wrought-iron frame, filled with exotic and dangerous plants. Well-maintained and atmospheric: humid, fragrant, with filtered light coming through the glass. Rows of botanical specimens include both educational displays and Thornhill's private collection of toxic plants. The greenhouse is warm when the rest of Nevermore is cold, inviting in a way that masks its darker purpose.
