‘Pen15,’ “Vendy Wiccany”
The closest thing Pen15 has to a Halloween episode, “Vendy Wiccany” (Season 2, Episode 3) leans into the early aught’s obsession with all things witchcraft. After witnessing a violent fight between Anna’s parents, Anna (Anna Konkle) and Maya (Maya Erskine) run into the woods, where they find a business card for a realtor named Wendy Viccany. The two quickly decide that Wendy Viccany (or “Vendy Wiccany,” as they call her) is an all-powerful witch that has bestowed their powers upon them, and they set out to transform their lives for the better through spells. Of course, things don’t go as planned for the middle school outcasts, but it’s still pretty fun watching them try to hone their magical abilities.
