In my world, in a BETTER world, Weems survives the Nightshade injection.

Maybe its cuz Thornhill/Laurel didn't make it right or diluted it wrong. Maybe its cuz Weems was able to shapeshift her veins/arteries to stop the bloodflow to her heart. Maybe Wednesday was quick enough, vigilant enough, to knock Thornhill aside so not all of the poison had been injected.

However it happens, when Wednesday tells the police/fire department/emts when they arrive that Weems is dead in the greenhouse, rescue finds her barely clinging to life. They immediately rush her to the hospital for treatment and she survives, but remains in a coma.

The Addams make the trek to pick up Wednesday and also to visit Weems in the hospital. Morticia and Gomez were distraught when they heard the news of everything that had happened, but seeing one of their best friends from school in such a condition truly shakes them. And its made even worse when they learn Larissa has no family and no next of kin; no one is coming to see her, no one to be there for her when she recovers, and no one she can turn to.

Obviously they take up that mantel quite immediately.

They move her to a hospital closer to the Addams estate, hiring specialists and the best staff to care for her until she wakes. They visit her offten and Morticia always brings a bouquet of fresh cut rose stems to keep at her bedside.

Its the rose stems Weems recognizes when she finally wakes up some months later. Morticia used to keep several rose bushes on their balcony back in school and she'd know those flowerless thorns anywhere.

Gomez and Morticia arrive just after she awakes, having dropped everything when they got the call. And when they walk into the room, Gomez with relieved tears in his eyes and his megawatt smile, and Morticia holding a single white rose (flower and all), Larissa breaksdown crying, overwhelmed by the rush of love she feels all over again; as if the past few decades never even happened and they're all just young dumb hopelessly romantic teenagers again.

When Weems is fit to be released for in-home care, the Addams insist she reside with them. At first she tries to refuse, but even her stubbornness is no match for the Addams charm (and by the Devil are they persistent!) She stays with them for a while, fitting in seemlessly with the rest of the household routine, and keeps herself up-to-date on the revival of Nevermore (apparently the new headmaster is not well liked by the staff or students, and Wednesday is giving him a wonderfully terrible time (she is secretly proud and very amused by this)).

Long story short, the Addams end up courting their bisexual-disaster high school friend/turned housemate until Weems returns to Nevermore to reclaim her school from the villainous headmaster who tried to take her place.

(Also she needed to give her heart a break bcuz when an Addams goes after something, its all or nothing, and having two of them pursue her was enough to nearly send her back to the grave!)
