During Mayor Walker's funeral, Wednesday notices a strange figure and chases it into the forest. It is none other than Uncle Fester, who tells Wednesday that the monster she is investigating is a Hyde. Together they retrieve a library journal that reveals that a Hyde must always have a master. They track down and follow Xavier, whom they see meeting with Dr. Kinbott, Wednesday's therapist, into the forest.
Wednesday finds his dormitory vandalized, the newspaper stolen and The Thing badly injured. The search tends toward Laurel Gates who is alive and well and the Hyde's mistress. Wednesday initially suspects Dr. Kinbott, but she is killed by the Hyde. The police arrive to arrest Xavier, who Wednesday believes to be the creature. Wednesday meets Tyler and kisses him, but suddenly has a vision of him being the Hyde and flees.
