“From” has consistently intrigued and mystified its audience with its eerie, complex storyline, and episode 3 of season 3 was no exception. This episode delivered plenty of mind-bending twists, from Tabitha’s possible return to the mysterious town to shocking new arrivals that will shake things up for the characters we’ve grown to care about. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just catching up, let’s delve into the secrets and hidden meanings behind the latest episode of From.
Tabitha’s Return to the Mysterious Town
The episode opens with a continuation of Tabitha’s journey, who, after seemingly escaping the cursed town, finds herself in what she believes is the “real” world. As fans may recall from the season 2 finale, she was abruptly transported to Camden, Maine, after being pushed out of the lighthouse by the Boy in White. This cryptic gesture left viewers questioning whether she was truly free or if something much darker was at play.
Tabitha’s Connection to Victor’s Past
One of the most compelling storylines this season involves Tabitha’s exploration of her connection to Victor’s family, particularly his mother, Miranda. As Tabitha delves into her research, she uncovers striking similarities between her experiences and Miranda’s story. Episode 3 intensifies this connection, as Tabitha and Henry stumble upon a “bottle tree” an eerie symbol that has appeared multiple times throughout the series. This tree seems to serve as a gateway, linking the real world and the town in mysterious ways.
As Tabitha and Henry investigate further, disaster strikes in the form of a car accident, cutting their journey short. The appearance of a fallen tree a telltale sign of the town’s sinister presence signals to Tabitha that she may have unwittingly found her way back to the town she fought so hard to escape.
The Fallen Tree: A Symbol of Entrapment
The fallen tree has long been a symbolic marker of those who are trapped in the town. Whenever someone crosses into this otherworldly space, the image of a tree obstructing the road seems to appear. In episode 3, as the ambulance carrying Tabitha and Henry encounters this very obstacle, the implications are clear: Tabitha is not as free as she thought. Her panic is palpable as she realizes that, despite her efforts, she may be right back where she started or perhaps she never left at all.
A Twist in the Narrative
Up until this point, Tabitha has been grappling with whether the world she’s in is real or another elaborate illusion concocted by the town. This uncertainty is mirrored by her growing anxiety as she tries to piece together the puzzle of her connection to Miranda. However, the car crash and subsequent events suggest that the town’s grip on her is stronger than ever.
New Residents of the Town: A Shocking Addition
As if Tabitha’s situation wasn’t dire enough, episode 3 introduces four new residents to the town. Along with Henry, the paramedics transporting them become unwilling participants in the town’s twisted game. This influx of new characters is reminiscent of the busload of newcomers from season 2, adding fresh dynamics to the established group.
Henry and Victor’s Reunion: A Long-Awaited Moment
One of the most heart-wrenching developments in this episode is the reunion between Victor and his father, Henry. Victor, who has been in the town for over 40 years, believed his entire family was dead, and his childlike innocence has made him one of the series’ most tragic characters. The emotional weight of this father-and-son reunion adds a new layer of depth to Victor’s storyline, and it raises questions about what this means for their future.
Will Henry help Victor uncover more of the town’s secrets, or will they be pulled apart by the same forces that have haunted them for decades?
The Foragers and Jade’s Haunting Visions
Meanwhile, another group of characters is dealing with their own harrowing journey. Jade, Kenny, Kristi, and a few others venture out into the cold, snowy wilderness to forage for food. The oppressive atmosphere of the abandoned homestead they find themselves in, complete with creepy mannequins, is enough to unsettle even the bravest of souls.
Jade’s First Vision
It’s here that Jade experiences a disturbing vision, the first of its kind for him. He sees a man with a mangled face hanging from a tree, and while the vision disappears when the others arrive, it leaves a lasting impact on Jade. This marks the beginning of a potentially deeper connection between Jade and the supernatural forces at play in the town.
Kristi’s Tragic Encounter
As if Jade’s vision wasn’t enough, Kristi steps into a bear trap while trying to stop Jade from storming off on his own. The group is forced to work together to free her, and the tension escalates as darkness approaches. Jade’s vision reappears as they struggle to save Kristi, further emphasizing the growing threat that looms over the group.
Fatima’s Dark Transformation: The Horror of Pregnancy
One of the most disturbing plotlines in episode 3 revolves around Fatima’s mysterious pregnancy. Viewers have been watching her deteriorate physically and mentally, and this episode reveals just how dire her situation has become.
The Rotten Crops and Feral Hunger

The Ominous Tarot Reading
Fatima’s storyline takes a chilling turn when Tillie, another resident of the town, offers to perform a Tarot reading for her. Just as the reading is about to begin, a crow smashes through the window, bloodied and cawing. This ominous event suggests that the forces controlling the town are afraid of what the Tarot cards might reveal.
Boyd’s Dangerous Plan
Back in the town, Boyd is determined to take action. He proposes a plan to catch one of the monsters that terrorize the residents, a risky move that not everyone supports. However, Boyd’s frustration with the lack of progress in finding a way out of the town pushes him to take matters into his own hands.
