The latest episode of From is a little slower paced than previous installments, but it still comes packed with some exciting reveals and interesting tidbits that are likely to push the story forward in the coming weeks. Characters change living arrangements, Donna builds a cairn in the pool for Dale, and Fatima gets a very unsettling discovery from Kristi.
Let's recap some of the biggest reveals from season 3 episode 6.
1. A tale of two bottle trees
There are two bottle trees, maybe even three if the group remembers the one that Henry was referring to back in the real world of Maine. But in the world of Fromville, there are definitely two, and now that Jade has found them, he's constructing a new chart to compare the messages in the bottles in each one. With Ethan's help, Jade's goal is to start puzzling together why the messages mirror each other.
They have identical numbers but different fonts, seemingly written by different people. What do the numbers mean? An address? A year? I thought it was interesting, too, that Jade sees Tom, the bartender who died in season 2, and Tom says something about how the tree might be something that someone just put there, that it might not have meaning at all. With Jade dropping the "quantum event" theory, I'm starting to think From might be sliding toward Dark, and there could be some time travel going on around here. What if Jade from the past or future put the messages in those bottles for his past self?
2. Victor finally retrieves Jasper and Henry finds a surprise
Seeing as Henry and Victor were just reunited for the first time in literal years, Henry isn't keen on letting his son out of his sight. When Victor reveals his plans to venture into the tunnels housing the monsters, Henry is adamant that he'll go with him. Using his little green army men as makeshift breadcrumbs to prevent them from getting lost, Victor takes his father back to the place he previously saw in search of the dummy, Jasper.
They do eventually find Jasper after traveling deeper than they'd like. There's a moment where they even see a few of the monsters and one of them warns Victor that if he keeps coming down there she'll make him stay. More curious is that Victor recognizes a clothing item that once belonged to Miranda! What does that mean? Is it possible Miranda has become a monster? Or that she too went into the tunnels at one point? Just one more From mystery to solve.
3. Shifting residences
Calling this one a "revelation" might be a stretch, but I did find it interesting that this episode established that two characters, Kenny and Randall, will be moving locations.
Kenny realizes that staying in the same house he lived in with his parents is no longer the right fit for him, especially as the Matthews family has made the place their own and Kenny believes his mother would have liked them to have the house. Randall confesses to Marielle that he's lonely out on the bus and she offers him a place at the clinic. Interesting because I remember Boyd offering to switch with Randall before everything went down that night. I guess his injuries have made him reconsider.
4. The implications of Fatima not being pregnant
I admit I didn't see this one coming. I thought Fatima could be giving birth to a new monster but according to the ultrasound (courtesy of the ambulance), she's not pregnant at all.
So why is Fatima suddenly hungering for blood and rotten vegetables? Is it possible that she's turning into a monster? And if so, what does that mean for the whole process of turning into these monsters? Do they get to pick who turns? Is it by random selection? Is it a 1:1, so because they killed one, the monsters turn a person? And it doesn't help that Elgin sees that kimono-wearing ghost lady pop up behind Fatima in the Polaroid photo he takes of her.
5. Tabitha realizes she has more in common with Miranda
Toward the end of the episode, while chatting with Jade at the bar, Tabitha sees some of his drawings of the creepy wards they found spread across the settlement near the lake and log cabins. Tabitha immediately recognizes them and asks Jade if they are near three red stones. We know exactly what stones she's referring to, as Jade has seen them in that area.
Like Miranda, it sounds like Tabitha had dreams about this place when she was a little girl. Miranda and Tabitha aren't the only ones either. In an earlier season, during a flashback, Abby Stevens (Boyd's wife and Ellis' mother) also referred to having dreams as a girl. What does that mean? Could Abby have been "chosen" too? And if so, the fact both she and Miranda are dead does not bode well for Tabitha.
