Deadnaming and misgendering are of course serious concerns regarding trans folk. However, discussion of fictional portrayals is more challenging, particularly when discussing a narrative work spanning a transition. The show introduces Susie Putnam in Season One, using and answering to feminine pronouns. Roz, Harvey and Sabrina - as well as Ms. Wardwell, Principal Hawthorne and the odious football bullies, all know her as a her, and as Susie.

References to episodes before the character took on masculine pronouns and the name Theo ought for clarity name the character as Susie Putnam, as credited, and she/her, as used by the characters. Reserve masculine pronouns and Theo Putnam for events and appearances that occur as and after the character assumes them.

Lachlan Watson is a nonbinary actor, and uses they/them. Naturally, they should be referred to as such.
