As a seasoned viewer of the eerie and enthralling world of HBO’s From, I must say that this latest finale has left me utterly bewildered, yet exhilarated by the complex tapestry of intertwining narratives unfolding before our eyes. With each new season, it seems that the creators take us deeper into the labyrinthine mysteries of Fromville, and this time is no exception.
If you found yourself puzzled by the unresolved questions from Season 3, there’s no cause for concern. The season finale, ‘Revelations: Chapter Two’, elegantly wraps up all the loose ends in a satisfying manner while skillfully preserving an intriguing air of mystery for Season 4.
In the final episode, it was left unresolved when Tabitha experienced premonitions about Miranda’s demise, leading her to collapse in distress. This tense ending was particularly annoying since Tabitha was on the verge of reaching Fatima’s prison cell, where she is currently being detained by Elgin.
As I attempted to fell the mysterious bottle tree, a figure in white suddenly appeared, insisting I halt my actions. Intrigued by this unexpected visitor, I humbly requested some explanations. His enigmatic response, subtly hinting at the climactic events yet to unfold, only piqued my curiosity further.
He suggested that you should learn on your own because that’s the only way for you to truly comprehend things. As we delve into the key moments from Season 3 Episode 10, here’s a recap of the five most crucial events, complete with an analysis of the finale. Proceed with caution as there are spoilers ahead!
Boyd “goes medieval” on Elgin
Once they realized Elgin has information about Fatima’s whereabouts, Ellis, Boyd, and Kenny make their way to Colony House. Sara and Donna then join the group on their journey.
At first, they attempt to make him understand by suggesting that what’s persuading Elgin to make Fatima deliver the grotesque child might simply be the Fromville entity playing tricks on them.
However, he maintains his stance that what he’s doing is correct, asserting that the baby serves as their passport back home. If reasoning with him fails, Boyd instead decides to gather several essential items such as a screwdriver and a hammer, making it clear what tools he has in mind.
He tells everyone else to stay downstairs and ominously warns them, “What happens next, that’s on me.” Boyd gives Elgin numerous chances to tell him where Fatima is but he refuses to spill.
As soon as Boyd prepares to strike with the hammer, an eerie flash comes from the haunted Polaroid camera, capturing an image of Boyd and his deceased wife Abby’s house – the very place they were heading towards before encountering the fallen tree.
Elgin attempts to persuade Boyd that a new hint indicates their return home once Fatima delivers a baby, yet Boyd firmly refuses and strikes Elgin’s hand with a hammer instead.
In agony, Elgin cries out, and from among the disfavored characters of Season 3, Officer Acosta enters forcefully, aiming to halt the brutal treatment.
Sliding quietly into the room, Sara draws upon her past events, attempting to connect with Elgin, who may recall her actions from Season 1: the tragic killing of her brother Nathan and the near-fatal encounter with Ethan, both driven by auditory hallucinations.
When she comes to the understanding that this isn’t yielding results, she rises and states, “Boyd is oblivious to how far he needs to push you to reveal information. He’s a decent man, and this environment has drained him of so much. I won’t let it rob his spirit too. I’ve already sacrificed mine.
Sara grabs a screwdriver and pokes out Elgin’s eye. It’s certainly gruesome, but the method is effective – when the others arrive, Sara informs them, “She’s hiding in the root cellar.
Jade cracks the code
After the recollection of Miranda’s demise in my mind, I shared with Jim that it wasn’t just a vision. “It felt like Miranda herself was present, trying to convey a message,” I explained.
In the eighth episode of Season 3, Jim seeks out Jade to express remorse for their argument, confessing that he’s fearful and asking for his assistance.
The three gather, and it’s Jade who proposes an explanation for Tabitha receiving these messages similarly to how Miranda did.
He clarifies that the fundamental principle of thermodynamics is this: energy cannot be produced or eradicated; instead, it transforms from one state into another.
It’s thought by some that our thoughts, recollections, and spirits (if one subscribes to such concepts) are comprised of energy. This energy might persist, linger, or remain in some form.
Tabitha affirms that one of the “anghkooey” children guided her to the underground storage room. In response, Jade remarks, “It seems that whatever Miranda revealed to you, those kids intended for you to discover it.
They choose to venture to the location where she spotted the spectral children, and that’s when Jade begins recounting the dreams he experienced during Season 2 in the tunnels – visions of the “anghkooey” kids lying on cement platforms, as well as the intricate symbol formed by roots.
Hearing this brings a recollection to Tabitha: Victor mentioned earlier that “when children stand on the stones, they imbue their dreams into the roots that form the symbol, making it grow into a tree.” To clarify, he was referring to the Bottle Tree.
In a moment of exasperation, I found myself pondering over the peculiar arrangement of children’s artwork around the tree. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off – if they created this, then the numbers in those bottles must hold some significance. Remarkably, it was Jim who cracked the code, revealing an intriguing mystery that had been hidden in plain sight all along.
On each sheet of paper, you’ll find a sequence of twelve numbers, but two of them have been written in reverse order. Despite having four numerical figures on each sheet, these aren’t dates. Jim suggests that perhaps they could be symbolizing the twelve notes within a musical scale instead.
After combining all the data, Jade determines the melody and chooses to venture to the bottle tree, intending to perform it with her violin. Amazingly, as the White-clad Boy predicted, only through personal experience could they truly comprehend.
The strategy proves effective. Not long after, the children referred to as “anghkooey” make their appearance, revealing their identities. However, before that…
Julie is a story walker
Meanwhile, Julie is still shaken up by her encounter at the ruins. She confides in Ethan, describing her vivid recollection of the time when she, Randall, and Marielle were imprisoned in the dungeon.
She clarifies, “That’s where I believe we were, when we failed to awaken. However, I exited the room and ventured into the passages. I could make out my mother’s voice, and she was conversing with Victor.
She’s discussing the incident from Season 2 when Victor rescued Tabitha from the tunnels, following their house collapse. However, Julie claims it wasn’t a surreal experience – it felt more like she had traveled back in time to that very evening.
As Ethan puts it, I’m more like a time-traveling reader, able to step into the previously unfolded pages of a tale.
Julie is quite enthused by the concept. Perhaps another visit to the ruins could enable her to undo tragic occurrences such as Tian-Chen’s and Thomas’ demises.
However, Ethan clarifies, “It doesn’t function that way. You can certainly explore the chapters, but you’re unable to alter them… Once a tale has been narrated, no one can modify it.
Smiley Creature is back
Once more with Fatima, confined within her prison, she makes an attempt to eliminate the monstrous infant before it’s past hope. However, Kimono Woman intervenes and Fatima finds herself going into labor instead.
Fatima delivers something resembling a fleshier, bloody sack instead of a baby. As this happens, the door to the cellar within the cellar mysteriously opens, and the figure known as Kimono Woman retrieves the sack and descends below.
A few moments pass, and Boyd, Ellis, and Kenny abruptly enter the room. Spotting the ajar cellar door, Boyd instructs Ellis and Kenny to escort Fatima home while he checks it out himself.
However, as he navigates the underground passages, Fatima unexpectedly discloses a startling truth, one that alters their entire understanding. It is now revealed where Fromville’s monstrous creatures have originated.
She stated, “I witnessed them. I observed their actions. The beings active during the night, I’ve seen their true nature. They believed that by sacrificing their offspring, they would achieve immortality.
It turns out, as previously speculated, these beings were indeed once human. What’s more, they traded away their own offspring to secure eternal life.
But what about Smiley Creature, the main monster in From? Didn’t Boyd kill him in Season 2?
After Fatima’s disclosure, I find myself making my way towards an opening in the labyrinthine tunnels, only to be met with a chilling sight – a circle of monstrous figures standing ominously. The Kimono Woman gently places a peculiar artifact on the ground, which immediately starts to throb and swell.
Boyd stands frozen in terror as the enigmatic Grinning Figure reveals itself, swiveling to look directly at him, displaying an enormous, unsettling smile.
It’s clear that Fatima’s argument stands validated, implying that her bizarre actions like consuming blood and spoiled vegetables were indeed part of a process to nurture a monstrous entity within her.
This suggests that the “anghkooey” spirits were once the people’s offspring, which explains why Jade saw them lying on sacrifice altars. Blown away by this realization.
From Season 3 Episode 10 ends with a shocking death
It seems like you thought the story was over at that point? Interestingly, the last sequence in Season 3 Episode 10 hints at the time loop theory, although it’s not a straightforward connection. When the ghost children approach Jade, Tabitha, and Jim, one of them gets down on one knee and says, “Anghkooey,” which might be suggesting something about the cycle of events repeating.
Something stirs within Tabitha, causing her to shed tears. She then utters, “Recall,” a statement that sets off a recollection in Jade.
Anghkooey – that’s remembering,” I express. “We made an attempt to rescue them, for one of them… dear heavens… We’d often serenade them with soothing lullabies.
Tabitha departs, swamped by feelings, yet Jim pursues her to get her talking. It’s uncovered that both Tabitha and Jade have the ability to perceive the kids, and it’s also why multiple versions of those bracelets exist.
She explains, “We’ve encountered this situation before, it’s me and Jade. The reason I empathized with Miranda is that I was in her shoes, and Jade was in Christopher’s. We keep revisiting this because we didn’t succeed the first time around.
From the start, both Jade and I have been present. We made every effort to rescue those kids, to liberate them, as one of them was ours – she was our little girl.
It appears that Jade and Tabitha were not receiving messages from Christopher and Miranda as if they were ghosts… instead, it seems that they had somehow taken over or assumed the identities of Christopher and Miranda. This implies a strange temporal phenomenon, but one that is much more intricate than simply repeating past events.
Just take a look at the shocking final scene. After Tabitha tells Jim she needs some time to think, he heads over to their broken down caravan, only to hear Julie screaming and running through the woods.
In a fluster, she leaps towards him, identifying Jim as her dad despite his altered appearance – longer hair and traces of blood on her visage. She implores Jim to return to town, stating, “It seems that’s when things take a turn… I must alter the narrative.
It’s possible that Julie has found a way to alter her tales during her adventures, and if that’s the case, this one is quite bizarre. Before she could explain further, a new character appeared – a lean man in a yellow suit – who exclaimed, “That was an incredible tune.
Later on, he comments, “Jade indeed plays magnificently,” implying that perhaps her violin performance may have caused some sort of rift in time or space, enabling incidents from a different narrative to seep into our current story (though this is purely conjecture).
Approaching, I find myself facing off against Julie who retreats in fear, with Jim trying to dissuade me. The stranger steps forward, saying, “This didn’t need to unfold this way, you understand?” He continues, “Wisdom often comes at a price. I did try to prepare you for what was coming.
In a tense situation, he grips Jim around the neck. Despite Julie’s attempts to intervene, he shoves her aside before uttering the chilling phrase, “Jim, your wife shouldn’t have dug that hole.” Indeed, the man in the yellow suit is the enigmatic figure on the radio!
Immediately following his statement, he brutally murders Jim in a grisly manner – tearing out his throat. This marks the most shocking conclusion to a From finale thus far.
There’s a significant amount of questions left unanswered, but it’s remarkable that all the different pieces of information seem to be aligning now.
Great news! We’ve received approval for Season 4, so you can look forward to revisiting Follytown again soon.
