Biography[]
Season One[]
Wednesday finds Pugsley locked in his locker and tied up with an apple shoved in his mouth. After she opens the locker, he falls to the ground on his back. After she removes the apple from his mouth and questions him, she begins to untie him. When Wednesday touches his wrists, she throws her head back and stares at the ceiling for a short period of time. After her vision, he asks her if she is okay. She leaves him on the ground, still mostly tied up.
Wednesday then goes to the school's pool and announces that only she is allowed to mess with her brother before dropping piranhas into the pool.
Pugsley is seen sitting in the Addams family car, up front in the passenger seat next to Lurch. He looks less than enthusiastic about his parents' singing. While Lurch was driving, a bunch of birds flew into the car and died, startling him.
After Wednesday is done with her orientation, she meets the family outside wearing her new school uniform. After Morticia tells Pugsley and Gomez to wait in the car, he goes up to Wednesday and hugs her. She tells him that he is weak and will only last two months without her. He tells her that he will miss her too and enters the car.

Pugsley says that he misses having his sister around and confesses that he didn't think he would miss being waterboarded by her as much as he does.
When Gomez is arrested, Pugsley is beside himself with sadness. He sits on the pier of a lake near the campgrounds in Nevermore Academy by himself and stares out to the water. Once his sister arrives, he originally tells her to leave him alone, but when she hands him his fishing gear and sits down, he tells her to stop being nice. She tells her that Gomez packed his favorite bait, grenades, and he asks about what will happen to his father now. He throws a grenade into the water, and it explodes, killing a school of fish and bringing them up to the surface. Pugsley, with tears in his eyes and voice, says that he's going to miss Gomez. He tells Wednesday that she needs to find out the truth and free their father. She tells him that he needs to be strong, then throws a grenade into the water for good measure. When Wednesday asks Pugsley about their mother, he tells Wednesday that Morticia wanted to be alone.

Summer vacation has ended, and Pugsley is joining Wednesday at Nevermore Academy. He's inherited electricity powers, like Uncle Fester, and accepts Wednesday's challenge to hit a stop sign or be ejected from the car. He succeeds and causes a major car crash at the intersection as they leave. Gomez shows Pugsley to the boys' dormitories, excited that his son will be living in his old hall, Caliban Hall. He's rooming with Eugene Ottinger, and Pugsley is eager to learn what it was like being gutted by a hyde. He's thrilled by Eugene's nightmares. Gomez reminds them how the friends they make in Caliban will make them brothers for life. Once Gomez leaves, Pugsley takes an interest in Eugene's bugs, wanting to eat them, which unnerves Eugene. He doesn't want to be Pugsley's friend, having only agreed to be roommates for Wednesday's sake.
Ajax tells his dorm mates the tale of the Skull Tree and the boy with the clockwork heart. Pugsley is lonely at Nevermore and hopes that by finding the tree, he could become popular. He sneaks out to the tree during the Founder's Pyre and accidentally uses his powers as a spark to resurrect the boy with the clockwork heart.
Pugsley chains his new best friend and pet that he names "Slurp" in the Hummers Shack, only sharing the secret with a grossed-out Eugene. They feed him mystery meat sandwiches from the school cafeteria and disagree over keeping Slurp forever. Meanwhile, Pugsley enjoys his first Prank Day by shocking Professor Orloff. His fun is short-lived when Eugene shares the panicked news of Slurp's escape.
Pugsley and Eugene marvel over Slurp's hyper-regeneration and brain growth. They also prepare for Camp Outcast, with Eugene worrying Slurp will get loose again while they're gone. To avoid further escapes, Pugsley smuggles Slurp into camp inside a coffin. He spends his time at camp dodging Gomez, who wants to spend quality time together. After Camp CLAW's defeat, the cadets follow their scout leader into getting revenge on the outcasts. They trip Slurp's firework alarm system and watch in horror as he eats their leader. Pugsley and Eugene run to the tent, but it's too late; the zombie is out. They track him to the showers, and Pugsley zaps Slurp before he can eat Gomez. That night, Pugsley solemnly watches as Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital apprehends Slurp.
Dort punishes Eugene, Pugsley, and Ajax for the Slurp misstep by making them help Bianca stuff invitations for the gala. Ajax stones Professor Orloff so Bianca can escape her duties for a personal matter. Eugene and Pugsley are eager to help, but Bianca sirens them into staying and finishing the invitations.
