Wednesday Season 1 Episode 7 If You Don’t Woe Me by Now

 Opening: The Pressure Mounts

Episode 7 opens with  Wednesday Addams  more determined than ever to expose the identity of the Hyde monster and its human master. After the traumatic events of the previous episodes and mounting attacks around Nevermore and Jericho, Wednesday is confident that her theories are narrowing in on the truth. However, her methods and unrelenting pursuit of justice are beginning to alienate even those closest to her.

At this point, her relationships with  Enid and  Xavier are in tatters. Enid has moved out of their shared dorm after being hurt by Wednesday’s emotional coldness and inability to connect. Xavier, who was once her ally, is now a primary suspect in her mind. Wednesday, as usual, puts solving the mystery above everything else — even friendship, trust, and empathy.

 The Return of Uncle Fester

In a welcome surprise, Wednesday’ Uncle Fester shows up at Nevermore, bringing his usual chaotic charm and dark humor. Fester’s presence adds some levity to an otherwise intense episode and offers Wednesday a confidante she can truly trust.

Fester shares knowledge about the Hyde from his own experiences, confirming Wednesday’s belief that the creature is controlled by a “master” — someone who unlocks and manipulates the Hyde’s power. This deepens the mystery: the Hyde is not acting alone, and someone very dangerous is orchestrating the murders.

 Xavier Under Fire

Still convinced that  Xavier is the Hyde, Wednesday breaks into his art studio again. She finds disturbing sketches of the Hyde and blood-stained tools, reinforcing her suspicion. Though her evidence is circumstantial, it’s enough for her to go to  Sheriff Galpin and have Xavier arrested.

Xavier, devastated and betrayed, pleads with Wednesday to reconsider, insisting that he’s being framed. He argues that someone is planting evidence to make him look guilty. But Wednesday, hardened by visions and intuition, ignores him. The betrayal irreparably damages their already strained relationship.

 Tyler’s Role – A Romance and a Trap

Meanwhile, Tyler Galpin , the sheriff’s son and Wednesday’s romantic interest, grows closer to her. He is seemingly the only one left who supports her, and they share a tender kiss. Their relationship appears to offer a moment of normalcy and comfort in Wednesday’s otherwise turbulent life.

But the comfort doesn’t last long.

Wednesday soon starts suspecting that Tyler may be the Hyde instead. The theory horrifies her, but the clues start aligning. His reactions to certain topics, his connections to victims, and his inconsistencies start to look suspicious. With Uncle Fester’s help, she devises a plan to find out the truth — a plan that takes a dark and morally questionable turn.

 A Dangerous Interrogation

In one of the most intense and controversial scenes of the series, Wednesday lures Tyler to the  old shed  under the guise of spending time together. Once inside, she and her accomplices restrain him and try to force a confession. She even resorts to  torture tactics , pouring hot water and aggressively interrogating him. But Tyler doesn’t confess. Instead, he acts hurt and confused, pleading with her to stop.

This moment marks a critical turning point. Wednesday, so obsessed with being right and solving the mystery, crosses a major ethical line. Her actions horrify her friends and result in her being arrested and brought to Principal Weems . It’s the first time the school openly reprimands her, and the consequences are severe. Weems tells Wednesday she’s on thin ice and may be expelled.

  The Confession: A Chilling Revelation

After the disastrous interrogation, Tyler meets Wednesday privately and offers her a ride. During the drive, he shocks her with a confession:  he is the Hyde

The confession is cold, calculated, and deeply unsettling. Tyler tells Wednesday he enjoyed the killings and that she was fun to play with while it lasted. This moment flips the series on its head. The sweet, charming Tyler she thought she could trust is actually the monster she’s been hunting all along.

The reveal devastates Wednesday. For the first time, her confidence breaks. She realizes she allowed herself to become vulnerable, and in doing so, let the real killer get dangerously close.

The Mastermind Still Unknown

While Tyler’s true identity is revealed, the identity of his master — the person controlling the Hyde — remains a mystery. Wednesday now suspects  Laurel Gates , a presumed-dead member of the Gates family, may have returned under a new identity. She suspects someone at Nevermore, possibly even  Ms. Thornhil , could be the mastermind.

This sets the stage for the season finale, where Wednesday must uncover who is pulling the strings — and stop them before another murder occurs.

 Closing: A Broken Wednesday

The episode ends with Wednesday more isolated than ever. Her friends have turned their backs on her, her theories have caused chaos, and her heart has been broken by Tyler’s betrayal. Her visions of Goody Addams intensify, warning her that a  final confrontation is coming and she must be ready to face the darkness.

 Conclusion: Betrayal and Revelation

Episode 7 of *Wednesday* is a rollercoaster of betrayal, revelation, and emotional intensity. It pushes Wednesday to her limits and challenges her morally, emotionally, and physically. With the truth about Tyler finally out, only one mystery remains: Who is the real villain behind the Hyde?
