This excerpt connects to the theme "Evil can never truly hide itself" because it shows how Hyde continuously plagues Jekyll.

Although Jekyll has taken control of Hyde at this particular moment, he can never do so completely - and that is why Utterson and Enfield can see glimpses of Hyde, even though he is not there for real. Evil cannot be hidden easily.
