After Xavier's arrest, Wednesday kisses Tyler Galpin who she goes on a date with, and during their kiss, Wednesday has a vision of Tyler as Hyde and realizes that he's the Monster. Wednesday and her friends kidnap Tyler and take him to the jungle to torture him and seek a confession. Wednesday gets arrested by the Jericho police for torturing Tyler, but while at the police station, Tyler confirms that he is the real monster.

What is the monster in Wednesday?

The ugly-looking monster who was the reason for the murders of many people in town, Jericho, was revealed to be Hyde. The Hyde was first introduced in episode one of Wednesday when Wednesday Addams was almost killed by her fellow telekinetic classmate Rowan Laslow. However, before Rowan could hurt Wednesday, Hyde shows up and kills Rowan.

Wednesday was left completely perplexed by the monster and began digging into it. In one of the later episodes, Wednesday gets a surprise visit from her Uncle Fester, who explains to her that the monster she is dealing with is called a hyde. Wednesday then sneaks into Nevermore's library and reads a book about outcast communities by Nevermore's founder, Nathaniel Faulkner, that hydes are “artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament.”

As she reads through the book, Wednesday also learns that hydes have a master. Nathaniel further wrote in the book, “Born of mutation, the Hyde lays dormant until unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis,” he also mentioned, “This causes the Hyde to develop an immediate bond with its liberator, who the creature now sees as its master. It becomes the willing instrument of whatever nefarious agenda this new master might propose.”
