At the beginning of the the 3rd season, Victor revealed he was Jonathan Arnold, broadcasting from Berlin, undercover for the Allies. Based on some titles for upcoming episodes on the AMC site and taking "In the WENN Small Hours..." as the template for the season, Mike Waters posted this hilarious look into the World of Future WENN.

So as we launch into the fourth season and hear what may be the death knell of Remember WENN, let's look back at the WENN that never was.

Well, I've got some startling season 3 news. It turns out all the previous spoilers given out by AMC were complete disinformation. There are some eye-popping "radical changes" yet to come in season 3, none of which we've been given a hint of. Until now.

Thanks to my secret contact at AMC, "Raoul," for faxing this to me (good thing I know how to crack a geometric cipher!)

Episode #29 - "Whose Scott Sherwood?"

Questions are raised about Scott Sherwood's loyalties after Mr. Pruitt reveals that Scott has been functioning as a triple, quadruple, and quintuple agent for ultra-secret spy agencies headquartered in Portugal, London, Cairo, Peking, Dublin, Spain, Siberia, and Texas. (Several of the spy agencies turn out to be operated by the U.S. government without its own knowledge). As a ratings booster, Scott talks the judge presiding over his treason trial into moving the court proceedings to the studios of WENN and broadcasting them live.

Episode #30 - "From Pittsburgh With Love"

An overhead lighting fixture falls on Gertie. When she comes to, she believes she's Mata Hari. Wandering into Studio B, where Scott's on the verge of being sentenced to death for treason, Gertie testifies that Scott is none other than America's most courageous and incorruptable secret agent during the Great War. The testimony not only wins Scott an acquittal, but a bourbon and water from the judge himself, and a return to his duties at WENN.

Episode #33 - "The Man from W.E.N.N."

While Betty disappears on a mysterious "business trip," Jeff is visited by a mysterious spy ring code-named "The Blondes." He hastily acts on their request that he transmit secret messages over WENN to help the Allied cause, but becomes disillusioned at how base and mercenary their operation tuns out to be. Finally, he gives them a moving speech on the challenge, the nuance, and the art, of "real" espionage.

Episode #34 - "The Diva That Couldn't Spy"

Jealous over Jeffrey's dashing cloak-and-dagger adventures, Hilary makes overtures to a number of Allied intelligence-gathering operations. She lands a juicy assignment posing as a glamorous movie star pretending to sell "Hollywood secrets" to Axis agents in the U.S., but blows it when she insists on using "Hilary Booth" as her clandestine code name.

Episode #36 - "Eldridge...Tom Eldridge"

As Betty leaves the studio for another enigmatic trip, Mr. Eldridge agrees to allow his speech patterns to be analyzed by British intelligence, who believe that in his vocalizations they've discovered an unbreakable, foolproof code. But he didn't reckon on his examiners being...the Bedrosian granddaughters, who may or may not be working covertly for someone else.

Episode #39 - "Code of Silence"

Mr. Foley, who once successfully transmitted morse code messages to Allied agents during a broadcast of "The Hands of Time," is approached by the War Department, who tell him they like the way he can keep a secret. Poised to send orders to agents over the air through sound effects, Mr. F's first clandestine communique goes haywire when, instead of blowing bubbles in a glass of soda pop, he blows bubbles in a glass of ipecuana -- inadvertently sending the department's top man to Paris, Texas instead of Paris, France.

Episode #40 - "Do You Like My Suitcase?"

Maple agrees to help Eugenia in her work with a shadowy Ukranian independence group known by the acronym NTKK ("Nachai Tebe Kachka Kopne"). With Betty gone on another of her secret trips, Eugenia finds it easy to contact the group to set up Maple's initiation ceremony, by broadcasting so-called "language records" and repeated playings of the "Toreador Song." But she and Maple become suddenly alarmed when C.J., watching them from the booth, is observed talking into his wristwatch.

Episode #43 - "Aloha, Miss Roberts" (Season Finale)

It's early December 1941, and Scott decides to take an abrupt "fishing trip" to Hawaii. He asks Betty to work late and to transcribe an important telephone message for him that night "when the phone rings twice." Betty labors into the night, sending coded messages to her secret contacts through WENN's transmitters, on a frequency modulation via carrier wavelength. Then...Victor suddenly shows up. He explains to Betty he's been globetrotting on a wide range of secret missions, sometimes in the company of a mysterious Hungarian emigre scientist, Dr. Zsa Zsa VaVoom -- who looks exactly like Betty. Victor breaks the news to Betty that he's going to marry Dr. VaVoom, and wants Betty to meet her. But he discovers he can't get Betty and Dr VaVoom to show up in the same room at the same time. A realization strikes him, along with a blunt instrument from behind. Fade to black. The phone rings twice.
