OK my theory is parallel dimensions, fromville is a convergence created with the sacrifice of the children Different worlds, their time zones, buildings etc that attacts each dimensions equivalents ie. Boy in white -vicktor- ethan so not reincarnations as such So when tabbitha touches Victor with the right timing it sparks a memory that isn't hers like a dejavu Kill the boy with sara was to stop the cycle The monsters are creatures that live in the void/ or have come thru in their own converging The trees and certain areas act like a wormhole that needs a trigger
The old man is sustained by the entity known as Fromland to keep the system functioning, serving as a source of nourishment, just like Victor. The only way to escape is either to die in a specific manner or to be granted death by the BIW (who represents or acts on behalf of the greater evil). Boyd will likely need to sacrifice himself to bring the cycle to an end, as suggested by the phrase, "My blood is your blood." Fromland requires a constant source of nourishment to maintain itself. This is the core premise of the show, while elements like the bugs and time travel serve primarily to divert attention from this underlying truth.
I think Acosta's first name will probably Abby. Since she's constantly in conflict with Boyd, not saying she's the same Abby but I think there's something there.
Jade also had a seizure in S1. Most people don't realise because it was so brief. When they were running to colony house, he was so high he slipped and hit his head on a rock and had a small seizure. After that, he had visions/strange experiences. Like Sarah, Ethan, Elgin, Julie, etc.
Come on my guy! They didn’t show Tabitha’s vision in first-person perspective because they’ve never done that in the show before. Clearly it was Miranda’s perspective to me. Really I think simply if Tabby is Eloise don’t you think Victor would’ve recognized her or at least thought something seemed real familiar about her
Glad you guys liked my theory! To add onto It I think there’s a chance the show could end with them showing us Eloise alive somewhere 👀 huge cliff hanger just like last season. I don’t think Eloise is Acosta or anyone who is currently in town. I think they haven’t been mentioning her as much for a reason, she is still out there!
I‘m absolutely sure, that the topic Eloise will not be of question in the last episode, unless the reincarnation theories are true. The last episode will be full of dialogues again, Fatima will miraculously stay undiscovered by Tabitha, Victor and Julie - despite just a few inches between them 🤪, I‘m not even sure whether she will start going into labour. Tabitha won’t know how to interpret her own visions, but they keep discussing it with some major clues found out by Jade. Same as others I think Jim will not leave the town alive, but I guess he won’t die on Sunday. The towns people will discover Elgin‘s secret and deluded mind and won’t be nice about that, but maybe they’re not even going to reach the chamber in time. Whatever is going to happen with the kimono lady will just happen. I got no clue how the Japanese dress fits into the whole frame, only that someone mentioned Hawaii and the Japanese being somehow interlinked. On the other hand, Japan does have a lot of ghost lore, I think. I just thought the dress does not fit into the North Scandinavian lore of the Northern settlers like someone suggested before. If the whole mythology is Northern mythology, why is there an entity from another country. I guess we‘ll never know 🤷♀️
I'm wondering if Eloise actually survived that night that she chased after Miranda. What if she lost track of her mom and ran off somewhere just to end up like Julie at the ruins, locked in a different time, just surviving all alone for years just like Victor did? Victor did say Eloise was the best at hide and seek, and that he could never find her.
I believe that Tabitha is having flashbacks of 2 different reincarnations; the little girl and Miranda! I think she saw the moment each one of them died and now she is back because it's her turn to try to save this group before another massacre!
@@HSK.Lernerit is not the same child actress at all, you can look up the credits in the episode or online, those two child actresses are different people
And the clothing that the little girl is wearing in her "dream" seems to be from a much earlier era than the ones Eloise and Victor wear when they first arrived
I did not check the names, cool down. The girls‘ faces seemed pretty similar to me, so it seems they got me. The clothes were different, but there could have been another reason for it. If you people say it’s two different girls, then I‘ll believe you. I still don’t think she’s Eloise, nor Miranda. She could be sensitive to visions or get toyed with by the town. She was touching Victor before, it’s weird that the vision / possible memory only appears now.
I love you theories but I think the answer to what's in the trap door is obvious. There's a man down there who for three years who pushes a button every 108 minutes to save the world and his name is Desmond...
She's clearly too young too unless she had a really amazing skincare routine irl. Or Victor just aged terribly from all the stress. Edit:replied before I got to the she maybe teleported to the future.
Here's a question, why would the entity have Thomas, who died as an infant, taunt Jim? Jim wouldn't even know what Thomas sounds like. He died as a baby, it is so obviously a mind eff that they just ignore it.
The use of the theme tune, got me thinking. Children asking parents about the future, Ankooey kids must have been told by the parents/Town, when they were sacrificed that they were important and it was necessary maybe even an honour. It also denotes cycles with children growing up and being asking the same questions by thier own kids, lots of generational trauma, the key to unlocking the escape from fromville must be to save the children, either back in time or the current cycle of children. Smiley running: Well the monsters have a game to play, they don't eat the people in From, they feed off the sick and twisted fear that they create. I think they can all run, I just think Smiley needed to in that situation as Miranda was about unlock an escape clue. Maybe 1 Monster guards the tree every night, maybe that's how Boyd catches one next season.......They are creatures of habit as Randall has noticed.
if dying is the trick to getting out of town, It would be so wild if Tabitha goes back to the lighthouse at some point and see's her dead body on the ground. Would give major "Prestige" vibes haha Also I think Jade's violin playing is going to be super important in the finale and maybe helps victor remember. He is shown playing the violin in the trailer at the bottle tree. Melodies and music have been so prominent so far in the show I think that has something to do with the bottle tree puzzle. Maybe the numbers represent notes.
People need to stop saying the creators don't know where they're going, John Griffin said in an interview back in season ONE that they had everything planned 😭
With time traveling involve, i think they’ll do the doctor strange line with the boy in white. Like the boy in white knows the future, but he also learns that if people know what will happen, it won’t happen. So it’s best that they figure out on their own under the boy in white guidance rather than just spoil everything.
Look up block universe and Nikovs self determination theory (I think it's determination) basically, time is just like space and it's impossible to change a past event, any action trying to do that will fail.
@ it’s fictional, time can work however they want. They don’t need to abide any crazy law of physics that some mad scientists came up. I bet none of the writers are even professional physicist nor do they even do any deep research into time and space like a bunch of researchers.
Wanted to share a Theory from r/FromSeries so no credit to me, the original poster is u/ToShareAStory. We know victor is like a child in a grown mans body so what if the same is said about Eloise. The monsters take things from the humans and we see this in the caves as a makeshift bedroom where they found Jasper this season. There were fresh flowers on the table and looking at the scene it could be implied to be a bedroom, a recently used bedroom assuming the flowers arent magic. Henry sees Mirandas scarf in the room and we see a tea set out in front of jasper, like a little girl playing house 😮. The room continues to resemble a bedroom/living area instead of a place monsters dump things from the painting of flowers above furniture, a clock, baby stroller in the corner... There may be a chance Eloise is this girl playing house, and Miranda's scarf as way to remember our feel safer. In the car trunk with Victor's drawings he stored away we can barely see a drawing of a small sad girl surrounded by a bunch of dark smiling figures. Did the monsters take her, maybe why she is in the tunnels. Not sure why they'd do that but not sure about anything else in this show 😂. Theory continues with the possibility of Eloise being alive, or another human at least, with the food our characters found at the lake. Fresh produce that's planted in a specific area around fresh water was definitely weird for the show, especially since all the other food went rotten. Might this have been Eloise's doing, was this her food? Was that "thing" walking outside at night that we haven't seen her looking for the food or seeing what/who took it. Are the statues around the town more people Eloise can play family with, they could be wards too idk. Again this is not my theory so please take a look at the original on Reddit, posted in the last few days, which also includes pictures of things I've decided for evidence.
To add: if she does go out only at night it would make sense they heard the noises at night by the settlement town and why we've never seen her before. It may also connect why that blonde creature told victor if he keeps coming into the tunnels he'll have to stay. Stay like Eloise is? Original theory had a picture of the blonde lady as a potential Eloise character but I don't believe thats her, just a creepy monster.
The statues, you mean those heads on spikes? Those are remembered by Tabitha, so it’s not possible that some underground Eloise created it just recently… I personally never thought about a girl still alive - I think the flowers were some kind of illusion; I don’t even remember food at the river anymore. Guess I have to rewatch.
@@HSK.Lerner Thats true the spikes were in Tabitha's visions so def a reason why it might not be eloise but I honestly believe that is the one of the more irrelevant parts of this theory, just an extra connection made for the theory. We still don't know for sure if that little girl was tabitha or even when it was, could've been long before the current time based on girl tabitha's clothes so maybe the "statues" have been there for much much longer. The food I refer to is the Vegetables and crops they find by the settlement, one of the main reasons they go back to the settlement, Jim goes after his argument with Tabitha earlier in S3.
Everyone is going to hate it, but I think it's all a dream. In the first scene Tabitha says, but monsters aren't real so he's not really dead, or something very similar when talking to Ethan about his toy. I think it turns out to be some sort of dream and no one has actually died. You may not wake up when you die, not unless the children are saved, at which point you go back to your place in time.
The narrative is the Hero's Journey, which is the sun's journey. Tabitha and Jade arrive at the start of the journey (summer solstice). They cross over from the ordinary world (spring and summer) to the special world (fall and winter) at the first threshold (the fallen tree, the autumn equinox). The great ordeal coincides with the winter solstice, the death and rebirth of the sun, Revelations, the Abyss. That is why Fatima is the motif for Virgo and the miraculous birth, and she should give birth to a man-child, the man in yellow, Amun-Ra, the sun. It is also a psychospiritual quest with Jungian archetypes of the subconscious mind from the collective unconscious and complexes from the personal unconscious. The Boy in White is the unconscious self. The entity is the shadow self. Think of From as a stage in the subconscious mind, the Big Other, and the monsters are the repressed memories and trauma, the skeletons in your closet are the monsters in the tunnels, in the depths of your subconscious repressed and embodied by the shadow self. All of the characters represent different archetypes. Miranda and Tabitha - Hero, Christopher and Jade - Magician, Donna - caregiver/mother, Ethan - Innocent/child, Randall - Rebel, Martin - Sage, Boyd - Ruler, Ellis - Lover etc. The model of the psyche also lines up with the Hero's Journey, the ordinary world is the conscious, and the special world is the subconscious. Unconscious elements of the psyche that exist below the threshold of awareness are uncontrollable by will and incapable of being reflected upon. Consciousness is always the smaller circle within a greater one, like "an island surrounded by the sea." Lost pun intended.
Love the in depth analysis, Jung is pretty famous for refusing to codify his theories until near the end of his life. Even then he still had a 'it really depends on the person ' when it comes to dreams and symbolism. So if it's perspective based, who's perspective is this show based on? Kimono lady is allready looking like the Dark mother, where's the dark father figure ?
@BattleDamageProps at first, i believed we were inside the head of the collective unconscious of the children being sacrificed or by a survivor. My theory now is that we are inside the head of the person who committed the child sacrifices. The person is about to die, and the main characters are fictional archetypes the mind has created to navigate the depths of the subconscious mind. The show will end with the archetypes remembering the repressed memory that leads to the circumstances of the sacrifices. Before the person dies, they will let go and move on.
@BattleDamageProps the narrative already follows the Hero's journey, and even if it is a representation of a repressed mind, they will likely keep that left ambiguous. The story could be reincarnation, aliens, or anything else. But, they are just metaphors for the hidden message.
When Henry meet Tabitha, why didn't he mention Eloise? Henry just talked about Victor and Miranda, what if Eloise is just another kid that Miranda took in to help? 🤯 🤔
When Tabitha hugged victor she had a vision of her saying she love him and Elouise so much yet some of you guys are still pushing the she is Elouise theory that’s nuts
Ok so I have a theory. (Btw sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English is not my 1st language). So the whole story about the lake of tears and the cromenockle is unfolding right in front of us. So one of Ethan's toys "died" but later got revived thanks to lake of tears. What does Ethan dream about after nearly dying - lake of tears. Tabitha's nightmare - near the lake. It is a place that makes reincarnation possible. I think that Miranda is represented by one of Ethan's toys. She didn't make it to her destination because a monster got her but got reincarnated as Tabitha. Tabitha dreamed about something happening at the lake. People usually only dream about themselves hence she appeared as herself but saw Miranda's memories. Another thing, do you remember who asked whether they actually survived the crash? It was Tabitha. Kind of weird that it was speciffically her who asked that. The cromenockle found a map in the dragons lair and Tabitha found the bracelet, which i believe would help her connect the dots, a kind of map through all this mess. On the sidenote. Did anybody notice that Jade saw some dude drinking blood from a skull and right now Fatima is chugging blood. I don't know what to make of it but i suppose it is connected in some way
Exactly, I think so too. Ethan's story is coming to life. Also, Julie even asked Ethan before she entered the ruins what she shouod do next according to his story. And Ethan tells her she needs to cros the threshold and face her fears and find answers.
Tabitha is definitely Miranda, everyone in town is a reincarnated version of someone from the past. They’re stuck in the town through different version of themselves until they figure out the mystery and free the children or right the wrong of their past selves who probably are responsible for sacrificing the children who were native to the land (perhaps a sacrifice for eternal life the entity tricked them into doing which caused this whole cycle).
I think if we’re going back to season one for hints, specifically episode one. Tabitha makes a point out if talking about “switchbacks” when looking for the road out of Fromville. I think that is the key to getting out, merging then doing an almost U-turn or 180 to leave. So it would be harder to get out because you think you’re going backwards but it’s really the right way.
@ no lol it’s obviously not that simple. I think it’s a metaphor for what they need to be doing. Not sure what that is yet, but I think that’s why it hasn’t been figured out. Having to seemingly go backwards to go forwards. Some thing of the sort anyways.
The town and reality is a childrens playset. On old play set will often have a mismatch of different pieces; a motel sign, but no motel, houses, but no grocery store. The children play with figurines of typical characters including a milkman, mechanic, cowboy, bride, cherrleader, waitress, etc. On occasion they play with a ballerina and a Japanese doll wearing a kimono. Their fears make their way into the stories they play; spiders, worms, and cicadas.
Why has a children's play set come to life? Idk. Guess we'll find out eventually 🤷🏻♀️ maybe the angkoohey kids were pissed that they were raised in the dark and decided to make their play set reality to torture those who put them in that situation.
I think the trap door opens to a tunnel system. Where the monsters can be found. The Kimono lady is a minor entity controlled by the major evil entity. The monsters are also minor entities. The man in yellow is likely the major entity, although he really isn't a man. It's just how he presents himself sometimes. There may be other minor entities we really haven't seen yet. The entities like messing around with the town and the people it attracts. The town is some type of time drift. Reincarnation is likely an important element of this show, for many characters. Also, don't discount Marielle being far more important to the story than she currently is being shown. Yeah, think Jim is toast. Fatima gives "birth" to Smiley. The actor playing Smiley is listed in the credits for Episode 10. I think Fatima lives, but she could possibly die. As for the ankhooey children, I'm pretty sure they were sacrificed. I think it's likely that the original townspeople were involved in the sacrifice to help them escape the town. But the town still exists, and continues to trap people. It's possible that 7 people have to be sacrificed again, probably the younger ones -- I'm guessing Sara, Marielle, Kenny, Randall, Ellis, Acosta and Julie. Ethan has to become the new Victor, and the cycle continues. Or the key is NOT to sacrifice them; it is a trick by the entities to get them to continue the cycle. If the sacrifices don't happen, then the cycles are finally broken and everyone goes home. And the town disappears. Randall Julie and Marielle were screaming while they were chained up as they saw themselves getting sacrificed in the past.
Can we talk about how on earth it is possible for Martin to not know Boyd, but somehow knows Abby and Julie? Julie makes sense because she’s a time traveler so she must’ve met him in the past, before she threw the rope down. But how does he know Abby? What are your theories?
Could he have shared dreams with Abby and Julie? Maybe Abby didn't dream at all, but time travelled and met Martin, if you can be chained up and be corporeal at the same time, was Martin the dead body in the secret room? And nobody came to wake him up. But somebody moved the room around and covered his body from the trap door.
Random stab in the dark, Ethan is told by Boyd about his wife. Ethan eventually learns how to traverse the Block universe that fromville is built in. He meets Martin in the past and tells him abiut his family and what abby believed. There is no way this works unless they do more time loops
I dont think im right but what if it turns out miranda in past lifes was one of the creepy kid's sister or mother and she gave them there hope which is why the kids have such an affinity with here.
Fatima is seeing more of the kimono lady as she becomes her like flashes of tyler Durden in fight club. Fun fact jim was in fight club. He had the best line calling Jared Leto "too fucking blonde!"
5:18 in my opinion, Tabitha's dream is a memory from a past life. She is not only Miranda reincarnated. My theory is that all the original inhabitants of the town are condemned to come back forever because of what happened many centuries ago, that's why the little girl in her dream is not credited as "young Tabitha" and she also wears very old clothes, maybe from the Civil war era. She could've been one of the kids born in the dark and that's why the kids keep calling her. That's why it's called FROM, because they're all from the town (mostly those connected to the place, the others are just there because they were in the same car as one of the reincarnated ones)
I was really holding out that it wasn't reincarnation, but the flashbacks kind of quashed my theory that they are all in roles to be played for some reason.
Love your videos, and I appreciate that you guys try to avoid the leaks. Can't wait for the season finale but I'm gonna miss your weekly theory videos 😢
thats another good point tabitha is not eloise. jim is clearly placed in scenes to and written as a parallel to henry. and his wife, to henrys wife. not to henrys daughter.
I'm in total alignment with video caller Jenn the Teacher. Perfect breakdown 👌 (She needs to start her own Podcast) Season 4 will tell all and I can't wait!!
The way out of Fromland is to go through the Tree at night, Miranda was close to the tree, Smiley wasn't having it. This is also why the monsters police from land at night.
@HSK.Lerner exactly my point! why Smiley knew Miranda would be there... Also knowing what they are thinking, does not mean you can stop them from doing it, with out physically taking action.
Spoilers for a theory that may spoil the last episode of season 3 If it was victors mum who played the violin then could she have played it in order to get her daughter through the tree when she realised the daughter followed her? It’s probably not what happened because I’m pretty sure we would’ve noticed if she left with the violin but I do think it’s curious that we have now seen victors mums death confirmed but not his sisters, and during the death scene there’s no sign of his sister. And if the bottle tree only responded to violins playing music why did the boy in white tell Christopher who doesn’t seem to know how to play the violin, if so could singing or any other instrument work?
@@allcitybighec 1) Grandma Monster forces the door open in human. 2) In S3 the barn ambush, half the monster are in monster form, half are in human form. But all were chilling in the barn. 3) When the ambulance returns, the lady monster doesn’t run or pounce after she lets the paramedics have it
Final Episode Title: "The Everwood Epiphany" As the series finale begins, Boyd, Tabitha, and the other survivors are on the brink of despair. Victor reveals a cryptic map he’s been drawing for decades, showing a labyrinthine connection between the town, the forest, and a massive underground cavern marked as the "Heart of the From." The survivors theorize that the creatures aren't just monsters but manifestations of the town's darkest memories and fears. Father Khatri’s diary, found by Donna, suggests that the town acts as a metaphysical trap designed to feed off human suffering and resolve unspoken guilt. The term "From" is revealed to be shorthand for "Fear Rules Over Memories." The Descent Boyd leads a final expedition underground, following Victor’s map. The journey is harrowing, with tunnels filled with ancient symbols and echoes of the past. As they get closer to the "Heart," the group begins to experience vivid flashbacks of their most traumatic memories, projected as illusions by the town’s energy source. Tabitha discovers her visions of children playing in the woods were tied to her own childhood grief over a sibling she lost-a connection the town has exploited to keep her trapped. The Truth At the "Heart," they find a glowing, crystalline structure pulsating with energy. It’s revealed that the town was created as part of an experiment by an ancient, forgotten civilization seeking to overcome death and loss by anchoring people’s consciousnesses to a shared dream-realm. The town, however, evolved into a predatory system, trapping people in endless cycles of torment to sustain itself. The group realizes they must destroy the "Heart" to break the cycle. But the act requires a sacrifice-someone must remain in the town to sever its link to the otherworldly energy source. The Sacrifice Boyd volunteers, haunted by guilt over his past and believing his sacrifice will redeem him. In a tearful farewell, he stays behind as the others ascend to the surface. He faces his fears one last time, confronting the apparition of his late wife, and destroys the "Heart." The Aftermath The survivors wake up in their homes, no longer in the town. Months later, Tabitha receives a mysterious postcard in the mail: a drawing of the town with a single phrase scrawled across it-"It’s not over." The final shot zooms in on the postcard, revealing Boyd’s face reflected in a window behind her, his expression both sorrowful and resolute.
I think they never run because they never need to. Like they look down on us like we are ants. But when smiley saw Miranda at the far away tree, it was time to not fuck around, and he didn’t. Much like the example of ants, we can watch them easy no worries, but watch how fast a parent would lunge dive if they saw fire ants crawling onto their baby.
Rather, I think Tabitha being Miranda makes much more sense. Just think everytime Tabby has to calm down Victor she assumes a motherly role and is able to calm him down. Not necessarily something a sister would do unless she was put in a position where she had to. Plus, say the vision was in Eloise’s perspective from the first person view. Don’t you think we would hear Eloise react to anything going on in that scene? For instance, seeing her Mom get killed right in front of her! Idk it just doesn’t make sense, to me, for her to be Eloise.
I'm leaning towards both player-forces being ultimately indifferent to humans, so either can help or hurt the characters depending on their agenda in the game at the moment. Which also makes me think the massacre that Victor survived wasn't a tantrum thrown by the monsters to make a point, but rather a standard disposal of game pieces after the game is over. I don't believe its design allows for them to be released. Elgin's resignation plays into this, too. He appears to be gradually remembering more and more [of probably his previous incarnation's] experience of Fromville, and all these "memories" tell him is it's best to roll with the punches and get it over with, because there is no way out and fighting only makes everything worse. So after the initial burst of denial on the bus, he doesn't even really get surprised by anything he encounters, first growing progressively sadder, and then seemingly giving into his role and letting go of the teddybear person he used to be in favor of playing his part right. (I also don't fully believe Tabitha was actually out in the real world, there were way too many things happening to her that nudged her this way and that, like she was on a side quest but still fully under the game's control.)
All the excitement over the real or imaginary breadcrumb clues scattered by the scriptwriters. I'm more interested in the real mysteries - like that voice on the other end of the radio towards the end of the season 1 finale. Everything else is just too vague and subjective - like how everyone got it wrong about Tillie.
Really like the Kimono Lady replacing Fatima theory... she'd make a great mole, or perhaps become a monster that taunts Boyd and Ellis every night. Could really see that pushing Boyd to his breaking point.
I JUST GOT GOOSEBUMPS YUPPPP. THAT THEROY ABOUT ELOISE TIME TRAVELING BECAUSE JULIE DID... BUT ALSOOOOOO, IT COULD BE LIKE HOW BOYD DID... REMEMBER HE WENT BACK INTO THEM RUINS WITH THE FLAME!!!! HIS WHOLE BODY AND CAME BACK HIS WHOLE BODY. NO SEIZURE. YOOOOO THAT THEORY COULD BE IT... ELOISE ACOSTA LOL
That’s what I’m saying! I think Eloise got stuck in a situation like Boyd & couldn’t find her way out because she was just a child 🤯 I think the show could possibly end with the cliff hanger of showing us Eloise still alive somewhere!
Faeries was the key word. Fae actually translates to from (which, as we know, is the name of the show) They are in the fae realm. Not the fairytale version, the actual terrifying fae realm. No pixies and woodland creatures, just monsters and beasts and terrifying magic.
Monsters when they are in human form, they are static and dont move fast/attack...but when they are in full monster form they run/attack/movie quickly. Smiley turned into a monnster before running
Theories: 1. Man in Yellow will appear in the finale 2. Fatima's baby will be a conduit for the monsters to invade the real world OR Smiley reincarnated? 3. I think Tabitha is Eloise and not Miranda it would explain her "dreaming of the place as a kid" with her actually escaping Fromville the first time. 4. I think something is going to happen that will cause the talismans to stop working. 5. Season 4 will start with a past or future timeline
Im thinking they have to go through the Faraway Tree at night. To get to the next step. Thats why smiley ran after Miranda because she was about to doit.
He ran because back then they chased the villagers because it was what worked best to get them scared and worked up. There was no talisman to help them be safe.
Time travel is the key. The moster in season one asked Julie if he removed him. Someobe mention they think Tilie was Julie time traveled. I hink Tabbitha is Tabbitha but she has Merandas memory and everyone else chosen. .
@@r.c.7779 you can see it at approximately 40 min in. No idea what it means but checked every episode and it's on the proper finger. Nothing on this show means nothing so it's curious and unlikely a continuity error - maybe it's explained in a scene on the cutting room floor.
Jim was acting completely different in that last episode #9. He was actually a good dad and supported his wife. Either he has been switched with a clone of himself, or the writers are setting us up to lose Jim.
If somebody don't look at the bottom of the fallen tree in the next episode I'm going to loose it. What if the kids were down there just looking up for someone to come pull them out of the cave this entire time?
I’ve rewatched every episode multiple times and I am almost positive that Fatima is the Smoke Monster and Jim is a reincarnation of Jacob. You saw it here first.
The “last time” the boy in white “got everyone killed”; he was spotted joyfully playing in a merry go round. I think he is not there to help. It’s not a coincidence that he became friends with Victor and Ethan considering they are the only children in town. (Victor of course being child-minded). Does that have anything to do with the missing child in the sacrifice of the “encueue” children to complete the ritual? The boy in white is the most evil entity in the town.
We did get a perspective change with Jasper and the BIW flashback. The theme of the episode was "we don't have all the information yet." So I expect the flashback with Miranda to change significantly with Eloise joining the next time we see it. Miranda and Tabitha are the same character archetype, and they have the same object-Petit-a. They have the same cause for desire. Just like Jade and Christopher. I'm not sold on it being reincarnation, but they are definitely connected.
I think the deal with Tilly and now Clara is the story needs characters other than the main characters to enter and effect a scene. And the production crew have their favorites that they like to use over and over again for any number of reasons. A side effect of reusing someone this way is they start to look suspicious during to always being in critical scenes and gives us something to chase for a while.
If it all ends at the beggining. Then when julie is messing with ethan. Julie 'kills' the toy. That could be refering to massacre. But tabitha says if monserters dont exsist then ethans toy is alive again because nothing was able to kill it. If julie is the only one to survive the massacre. She can now time travel. Either preventing the massacre or saving the kids ending fromville and preventing the monsters. And the family will be back in the RV seeing the tree in th3 road taking the detour and getting back to the highway with only julie knowing what happened. Crazy theory ik 😂
I don't think Acosta is Eloise because she has absolutely no recollection. The fact that everyone else has some sort of feelings or visions about Fromville kind of make me feel like she should have some sort of feelings about the place and she seems completely naïve.
I am still not sold that Tillie is actually dead. I think her "death" was intentional to isolate Fatima from the Colony house. I think there is more to come from Tillie. Not only that, if Fatima survives and Tillie is something else. It would negate Fatima murdering someone. I expect to see Tillie again in episode 10.
The pond that the people from colony house go to is going to end up being the lake of tears. No one ever talks about how that was the first thing Elgin asked Fatima to show him. Miranda is 100% not Eloise… idk how anyone could think that. She’s definitely Miranda.

OK my theory is parallel dimensions, fromville is a convergence created with the sacrifice of the children
Different worlds, their time zones, buildings etc that attacts each dimensions equivalents
ie. Boy in white -vicktor- ethan so not reincarnations as such
So when tabbitha touches Victor with the right timing it sparks a memory that isn't hers like a dejavu
Kill the boy with sara was to stop the cycle
The monsters are creatures that live in the void/ or have come thru in their own converging
The trees and certain areas act like a wormhole that needs a trigger
The old man is sustained by the entity known as Fromland to keep the system functioning, serving as a source of nourishment, just like Victor. The only way to escape is either to die in a specific manner or to be granted death by the BIW (who represents or acts on behalf of the greater evil). Boyd will likely need to sacrifice himself to bring the cycle to an end, as suggested by the phrase, "My blood is your blood." Fromland requires a constant source of nourishment to maintain itself. This is the core premise of the show, while elements like the bugs and time travel serve primarily to divert attention from this underlying truth.
I personally think Jim is Eloise
😂 for sure
😂😂😂
🤣
Eloise is Martin😂
Someone mentioned on reddit they were in a trans-dimension. I can totally see Jim as a transgender Eloise, long hair dont care
The boy in white look like he won the game after the massacre. He was smiling wanting to play with Victor.
Or it's trying to out Victor at ease and thinks that's what humans need.
@Maclaven720 victor grew up and stopped believing in fairies 😆
Jim goes down the trapped door and it's never mentioned again 💀🤣🤣🤣
@@ryanhooper4587 😂 😂 😂 too funny
I think Acosta's first name will probably Abby. Since she's constantly in conflict with Boyd, not saying she's the same Abby but I think there's something there.
this would be a twisted and pretty funny reveal
Jade also had a seizure in S1. Most people don't realise because it was so brief. When they were running to colony house, he was so high he slipped and hit his head on a rock and had a small seizure.
After that, he had visions/strange experiences. Like Sarah, Ethan, Elgin, Julie, etc.
Great observation! 👍
I’m rewatching seasons 1 and 2 between episodes and there’s so much that I missed and that people don’t seem to be talking about
I just rewatched season 1 and I don’t remember that at all… was it a seizure or was he just passed out for a second?
@@azcardguy7825 I remember a small seizure right after he hit his head but it's been a while since I watched it
Come on my guy! They didn’t show Tabitha’s vision in first-person perspective because they’ve never done that in the show before. Clearly it was Miranda’s perspective to me. Really I think simply if Tabby is Eloise don’t you think Victor would’ve recognized her or at least thought something seemed real familiar about her
Not a theory person se, but Acosta looks like a female version of the smiley monster
So true ! But I’d rather spend a day with Smiley..
Glad you guys liked my theory! To add onto It I think there’s a chance the show could end with them showing us Eloise alive somewhere 👀 huge cliff hanger just like last season. I don’t think Eloise is Acosta or anyone who is currently in town. I think they haven’t been mentioning her as much for a reason, she is still out there!
I‘m absolutely sure, that the topic Eloise will not be of question in the last episode, unless the reincarnation theories are true. The last episode will be full of dialogues again, Fatima will miraculously stay undiscovered by Tabitha, Victor and Julie - despite just a few inches between them 🤪, I‘m not even sure whether she will start going into labour. Tabitha won’t know how to interpret her own visions, but they keep discussing it with some major clues found out by Jade. Same as others I think Jim will not leave the town alive, but I guess he won’t die on Sunday. The towns people will discover Elgin‘s secret and deluded mind and won’t be nice about that, but maybe they’re not even going to reach the chamber in time. Whatever is going to happen with the kimono lady will just happen. I got no clue how the Japanese dress fits into the whole frame, only that someone mentioned Hawaii and the Japanese being somehow interlinked. On the other hand, Japan does have a lot of ghost lore, I think. I just thought the dress does not fit into the North Scandinavian lore of the Northern settlers like someone suggested before. If the whole mythology is Northern mythology, why is there an entity from another country. I guess we‘ll never know 🤷♀️
@@fbernazal out there somewhere!
I'm wondering if Eloise actually survived that night that she chased after Miranda. What if she lost track of her mom and ran off somewhere just to end up like Julie at the ruins, locked in a different time, just surviving all alone for years just like Victor did? Victor did say Eloise was the best at hide and seek, and that he could never find her.
I hope that Acosta isn't Eloise because Acosta is terrible.
Imagine if everyone that's died is back in the real world alive and healthy! And all these guy's are trying so hard to stay alive 🤯
I believe that Tabitha is having flashbacks of 2 different reincarnations; the little girl and Miranda! I think she saw the moment each one of them died and now she is back because it's her turn to try to save this group before another massacre!
Definitely!
I don’t agree, because it is the same child actress, so it seems to me she’s seeing Eloise.
@@HSK.Lernerit is not the same child actress at all, you can look up the credits in the episode or online, those two child actresses are different people
And the clothing that the little girl is wearing in her "dream" seems to be from a much earlier era than the ones Eloise and Victor wear when they first arrived
I did not check the names, cool down. The girls‘ faces seemed pretty similar to me, so it seems they got me. The clothes were different, but there could have been another reason for it. If you people say it’s two different girls, then I‘ll believe you. I still don’t think she’s Eloise, nor Miranda. She could be sensitive to visions or get toyed with by the town. She was touching Victor before, it’s weird that the vision / possible memory only appears now.
I love you theories but I think the answer to what's in the trap door is obvious. There's a man down there who for three years who pushes a button every 108 minutes to save the world and his name is Desmond...
@@brotherchrisrco1125 hahaha yes!!
And in Season 4, we learn Boyd has a long lost son named Walt…
@@brotherchrisrco1125 DONT YOU DARE.
Eloise being Acosta doesn't make any sense. She would have remembered she was there. I think Acosta is Eloise daughter.
Oh that's a cool theory!
She's clearly too young too unless she had a really amazing skincare routine irl. Or Victor just aged terribly from all the stress.
Edit:replied before I got to the she maybe teleported to the future.
I like this, and maybe her name is Miranda named after her grandmother
I like this a lot better than the theory that Acosta is Eloise! (Acosta sucks and I don't want her to be central to the plot)
@@lumkamsomi2836 or vicky/victoria 🤔
Here's a question, why would the entity have Thomas, who died as an infant, taunt Jim? Jim wouldn't even know what Thomas sounds like. He died as a baby, it is so obviously a mind eff that they just ignore it.
Definitely thinking Tabitha is the mother rather than the sister!! LOVE YOU GUYS
Thanks so much for the dono! You are the best!!
The use of the theme tune, got me thinking. Children asking parents about the future, Ankooey kids must have been told by the parents/Town, when they were sacrificed that they were important and it was necessary maybe even an honour. It also denotes cycles with children growing up and being asking the same questions by thier own kids, lots of generational trauma, the key to unlocking the escape from fromville must be to save the children, either back in time or the current cycle of children.
Smiley running: Well the monsters have a game to play, they don't eat the people in From, they feed off the sick and twisted fear that they create. I think they can all run, I just think Smiley needed to in that situation as Miranda was about unlock an escape clue. Maybe 1 Monster guards the tree every night, maybe that's how Boyd catches one next season.......They are creatures of habit as Randall has noticed.
if dying is the trick to getting out of town, It would be so wild if Tabitha goes back to the lighthouse at some point and see's her dead body on the ground. Would give major "Prestige" vibes haha
Also I think Jade's violin playing is going to be super important in the finale and maybe helps victor remember. He is shown playing the violin in the trailer at the bottle tree. Melodies and music have been so prominent so far in the show I think that has something to do with the bottle tree puzzle. Maybe the numbers represent notes.
The Teen in Cream has me cryingggg
😂😂😂
People need to stop saying the creators don't know where they're going, John Griffin said in an interview back in season ONE that they had everything planned 😭
With time traveling involve, i think they’ll do the doctor strange line with the boy in white. Like the boy in white knows the future, but he also learns that if people know what will happen, it won’t happen. So it’s best that they figure out on their own under the boy in white guidance rather than just spoil everything.
Look up block universe and Nikovs self determination theory (I think it's determination) basically, time is just like space and it's impossible to change a past event, any action trying to do that will fail.
@ it’s fictional, time can work however they want. They don’t need to abide any crazy law of physics that some mad scientists came up. I bet none of the writers are even professional physicist nor do they even do any deep research into time and space like a bunch of researchers.
Wanted to share a Theory from r/FromSeries so no credit to me, the original poster is u/ToShareAStory.
We know victor is like a child in a grown mans body so what if the same is said about Eloise.
The monsters take things from the humans and we see this in the caves as a makeshift bedroom where they found Jasper this season. There were fresh flowers on the table and looking at the scene it could be implied to be a bedroom, a recently used bedroom assuming the flowers arent magic. Henry sees Mirandas scarf in the room and we see a tea set out in front of jasper, like a little girl playing house 😮. The room continues to resemble a bedroom/living area instead of a place monsters dump things from the painting of flowers above furniture, a clock, baby stroller in the corner... There may be a chance Eloise is this girl playing house, and Miranda's scarf as way to remember our feel safer.
In the car trunk with Victor's drawings he stored away we can barely see a drawing of a small sad girl surrounded by a bunch of dark smiling figures. Did the monsters take her, maybe why she is in the tunnels. Not sure why they'd do that but not sure about anything else in this show 😂.
Theory continues with the possibility of Eloise being alive, or another human at least, with the food our characters found at the lake. Fresh produce that's planted in a specific area around fresh water was definitely weird for the show, especially since all the other food went rotten. Might this have been Eloise's doing, was this her food? Was that "thing" walking outside at night that we haven't seen her looking for the food or seeing what/who took it. Are the statues around the town more people Eloise can play family with, they could be wards too idk.
Again this is not my theory so please take a look at the original on Reddit, posted in the last few days, which also includes pictures of things I've decided for evidence.
To add: if she does go out only at night it would make sense they heard the noises at night by the settlement town and why we've never seen her before.
It may also connect why that blonde creature told victor if he keeps coming into the tunnels he'll have to stay. Stay like Eloise is? Original theory had a picture of the blonde lady as a potential Eloise character but I don't believe thats her, just a creepy monster.
The statues, you mean those heads on spikes? Those are remembered by Tabitha, so it’s not possible that some underground Eloise created it just recently… I personally never thought about a girl still alive - I think the flowers were some kind of illusion; I don’t even remember food at the river anymore. Guess I have to rewatch.
@@HSK.Lerner Thats true the spikes were in Tabitha's visions so def a reason why it might not be eloise but I honestly believe that is the one of the more irrelevant parts of this theory, just an extra connection made for the theory. We still don't know for sure if that little girl was tabitha or even when it was, could've been long before the current time based on girl tabitha's clothes so maybe the "statues" have been there for much much longer.
The food I refer to is the Vegetables and crops they find by the settlement, one of the main reasons they go back to the settlement, Jim goes after his argument with Tabitha earlier in S3.
This is awesome w/ the video submissions!
I'm so glad I found this channel! I am on board with all of these theories, this is amazing!! Great job, you guys! #fromily
Thanks so much for the support 🙏✅
Everyone is going to hate it, but I think it's all a dream. In the first scene Tabitha says, but monsters aren't real so he's not really dead, or something very similar when talking to Ethan about his toy. I think it turns out to be some sort of dream and no one has actually died. You may not wake up when you die, not unless the children are saved, at which point you go back to your place in time.
Definitely possible and I would be disappointed
I think the writers are at least smart enough to know this will make the series go down in history as having the worst ending or plot twist. So no.
I don’t think this will happen but my first thought about what we see when the trap door opens is a giant eye looking up.
It’s gonna be sad for the kids when Jim goes 😢 I’m not a fan of Jim but poor Ethan
The narrative is the Hero's Journey, which is the sun's journey. Tabitha and Jade arrive at the start of the journey (summer solstice). They cross over from the ordinary world (spring and summer) to the special world (fall and winter) at the first threshold (the fallen tree, the autumn equinox). The great ordeal coincides with the winter solstice, the death and rebirth of the sun, Revelations, the Abyss. That is why Fatima is the motif for Virgo and the miraculous birth, and she should give birth to a man-child, the man in yellow, Amun-Ra, the sun.
It is also a psychospiritual quest with Jungian archetypes of the subconscious mind from the collective unconscious and complexes from the personal unconscious. The Boy in White is the unconscious self. The entity is the shadow self. Think of From as a stage in the subconscious mind, the Big Other, and the monsters are the repressed memories and trauma, the skeletons in your closet are the monsters in the tunnels, in the depths of your subconscious repressed and embodied by the shadow self.
All of the characters represent different archetypes. Miranda and Tabitha - Hero, Christopher and Jade - Magician, Donna - caregiver/mother, Ethan - Innocent/child, Randall - Rebel, Martin - Sage, Boyd - Ruler, Ellis - Lover etc.
The model of the psyche also lines up with the Hero's Journey, the ordinary world is the conscious, and the special world is the subconscious. Unconscious elements of the psyche that exist below the threshold of awareness are uncontrollable by will and incapable of being reflected upon. Consciousness is always the smaller circle within a greater one, like "an island surrounded by the sea." Lost pun intended.
Love the in depth analysis, Jung is pretty famous for refusing to codify his theories until near the end of his life. Even then he still had a 'it really depends on the person ' when it comes to dreams and symbolism. So if it's perspective based, who's perspective is this show based on? Kimono lady is allready looking like the Dark mother, where's the dark father figure ?
@BattleDamageProps at first, i believed we were inside the head of the collective unconscious of the children being sacrificed or by a survivor. My theory now is that we are inside the head of the person who committed the child sacrifices. The person is about to die, and the main characters are fictional archetypes the mind has created to navigate the depths of the subconscious mind. The show will end with the archetypes remembering the repressed memory that leads to the circumstances of the sacrifices. Before the person dies, they will let go and move on.
@@davidagiel8130 no offense meant here, but I hope it's not that at all. That sounds similar to vanilla sky.
@BattleDamageProps the narrative already follows the Hero's journey, and even if it is a representation of a repressed mind, they will likely keep that left ambiguous. The story could be reincarnation, aliens, or anything else. But, they are just metaphors for the hidden message.
@@BattleDamageProps more like Twin Peaks. Lost and From use the same archetypes and themes as David Lynch.
When Henry meet Tabitha, why didn't he mention Eloise? Henry just talked about Victor and Miranda, what if Eloise is just another kid that Miranda took in to help? 🤯 🤔
Hmmmm 🤔
I think the Fatima Body Snatcher theory is right on.
Fatima dies and Fakima takes her place.
@@HiFiAwardTour Fakima love it!
When Tabitha hugged victor she had a vision of her saying she love him and Elouise so much yet some of you guys are still pushing the she is Elouise theory that’s nuts
Ok so I have a theory. (Btw sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English is not my 1st language). So the whole story about the lake of tears and the cromenockle is unfolding right in front of us. So one of Ethan's toys "died" but later got revived thanks to lake of tears. What does Ethan dream about after nearly dying - lake of tears. Tabitha's nightmare - near the lake. It is a place that makes reincarnation possible. I think that Miranda is represented by one of Ethan's toys. She didn't make it to her destination because a monster got her but got reincarnated as Tabitha. Tabitha dreamed about something happening at the lake. People usually only dream about themselves hence she appeared as herself but saw Miranda's memories. Another thing, do you remember who asked whether they actually survived the crash? It was Tabitha. Kind of weird that it was speciffically her who asked that. The cromenockle found a map in the dragons lair and Tabitha found the bracelet, which i believe would help her connect the dots, a kind of map through all this mess. On the sidenote. Did anybody notice that Jade saw some dude drinking blood from a skull and right now Fatima is chugging blood. I don't know what to make of it but i suppose it is connected in some way
Exactly, I think so too. Ethan's story is coming to life. Also, Julie even asked Ethan before she entered the ruins what she shouod do next according to his story. And Ethan tells her she needs to cros the threshold and face her fears and find answers.
@@LarisaBayaMomo "the answers to the end are at the beginning" 🤔
Watch the trap door be like the road.. just an endless loop hahaha
Tabitha is definitely Miranda, everyone in town is a reincarnated version of someone from the past. They’re stuck in the town through different version of themselves until they figure out the mystery and free the children or right the wrong of their past selves who probably are responsible for sacrificing the children who were native to the land
(perhaps a sacrifice for eternal life the entity tricked them into doing which caused this whole cycle).
I think if we’re going back to season one for hints, specifically episode one. Tabitha makes a point out if talking about “switchbacks” when looking for the road out of Fromville. I think that is the key to getting out, merging then doing an almost U-turn or 180 to leave. So it would be harder to get out because you think you’re going backwards but it’s really the right way.
So you think doing a zigzag with a
car on the road is the solution? That sounds a little too simple. 😅
@ no lol it’s obviously not that simple. I think it’s a metaphor for what they need to be doing. Not sure what that is yet, but I think that’s why it hasn’t been figured out. Having to seemingly go backwards to go forwards. Some thing of the sort anyways.
MaybeJim will end up on the outside of Fromville and like Henry, he will have to go on without his family.
Hmmm interesting
The town and reality is a childrens playset. On old play set will often have a mismatch of different pieces; a motel sign, but no motel, houses, but no grocery store. The children play with figurines of typical characters including a milkman, mechanic, cowboy, bride, cherrleader, waitress, etc. On occasion they play with a ballerina and a Japanese doll wearing a kimono. Their fears make their way into the stories they play; spiders, worms, and cicadas.
There's big gaps in the theory, but I think this is where it's going. Especially with the crominockle, etc.
And the fact that children play a big role in this story with the angkoohey kids, Ethan, baby victor, Eloise, etc.
Why has a children's play set come to life? Idk. Guess we'll find out eventually 🤷🏻♀️ maybe the angkoohey kids were pissed that they were raised in the dark and decided to make their play set reality to torture those who put them in that situation.
I think the trap door opens to a tunnel system. Where the monsters can be found.
The Kimono lady is a minor entity controlled by the major evil entity. The monsters are also minor entities. The man in yellow is likely the major entity, although he really isn't a man. It's just how he presents himself sometimes. There may be other minor entities we really haven't seen yet. The entities like messing around with the town and the people it attracts. The town is some type of time drift.
Reincarnation is likely an important element of this show, for many characters.
Also, don't discount Marielle being far more important to the story than she currently is being shown.
Yeah, think Jim is toast.
Fatima gives "birth" to Smiley. The actor playing Smiley is listed in the credits for Episode 10. I think Fatima lives, but she could possibly die.
As for the ankhooey children, I'm pretty sure they were sacrificed. I think it's likely that the original townspeople were involved in the sacrifice to help them escape the town. But the town still exists, and continues to trap people. It's possible that 7 people have to be sacrificed again, probably the younger ones -- I'm guessing Sara, Marielle, Kenny, Randall, Ellis, Acosta and Julie. Ethan has to become the new Victor, and the cycle continues. Or the key is NOT to sacrifice them; it is a trick by the entities to get them to continue the cycle. If the sacrifices don't happen, then the cycles are finally broken and everyone goes home. And the town disappears.
Randall Julie and Marielle were screaming while they were chained up as they saw themselves getting sacrificed in the past.
Love Jen's theory, I've been saying there's been a connection to Norse mythology and viking exploration since we got a good look at the talismens
Can we talk about how on earth it is possible for Martin to not know Boyd, but somehow knows Abby and Julie? Julie makes sense because she’s a time traveler so she must’ve met him in the past, before she threw the rope down. But how does he know Abby? What are your theories?
Could he have shared dreams with Abby and Julie? Maybe Abby didn't dream at all, but time travelled and met Martin, if you can be chained up and be corporeal at the same time, was Martin the dead body in the secret room? And nobody came to wake him up. But somebody moved the room around and covered his body from the trap door.
Random stab in the dark, Ethan is told by Boyd about his wife. Ethan eventually learns how to traverse the Block universe that fromville is built in. He meets Martin in the past and tells him abiut his family and what abby believed. There is no way this works unless they do more time loops
I dont think im right but what if it turns out miranda in past lifes was one of the creepy kid's sister or mother and she gave them there hope which is why the kids have such an affinity with here.
that kimono lady theory was great i didnt even realize that she was manifesting more as she progresses
Yeah, and to add to 21:40 , i think the Kimono lady may tranform into Fatima, but not a normal Fatima, a "monster" version of her.
Imagine going full red wedding on the show?!!!
I love it when they hit you in the gut with that stuff. Thatd be 👌
Fatima is seeing more of the kimono lady as she becomes her like flashes of tyler Durden in fight club. Fun fact jim was in fight club. He had the best line calling Jared Leto "too fucking blonde!"
Clara is someone I’ve been watching this whole time. She always has lines but isn’t a main character 🤔🤔🤔
5:18 in my opinion, Tabitha's dream is a memory from a past life. She is not only Miranda reincarnated. My theory is that all the original inhabitants of the town are condemned to come back forever because of what happened many centuries ago, that's why the little girl in her dream is not credited as "young Tabitha" and she also wears very old clothes, maybe from the Civil war era. She could've been one of the kids born in the dark and that's why the kids keep calling her. That's why it's called FROM, because they're all from the town (mostly those connected to the place, the others are just there because they were in the same car as one of the reincarnated ones)
I was really holding out that it wasn't reincarnation, but the flashbacks kind of quashed my theory that they are all in roles to be played for some reason.
Christmas hoodie purchased!! I’m so excited, should get to Ireland just before Christmas!!
Aww thanks so much!!!
Love your videos, and I appreciate that you guys try to avoid the leaks. Can't wait for the season finale but I'm gonna miss your weekly theory videos 😢
The trap door goes to the tunnels, now what part of the tunnels who knows, but it's the tunnels.
thats another good point tabitha is not eloise. jim is clearly placed in scenes to and written as a parallel to henry. and his wife, to henrys wife. not to henrys daughter.
Exactly 💯
I'm in total alignment with video caller Jenn the Teacher. Perfect breakdown 👌 (She needs to start her own Podcast) Season 4 will tell all and I can't wait!!
The way out of Fromland is to go through the Tree at night, Miranda was close to the tree, Smiley wasn't having it.
This is also why the monsters police from land at night.
How is this even possible. The entity knows what the town’s people are saying and doing. How would one manage to escape at night?
@HSK.Lerner exactly my point! why Smiley knew Miranda would be there...
Also knowing what they are thinking, does not mean you can stop them from doing it, with out physically taking action.
Spoilers for a theory that may spoil the last episode of season 3
If it was victors mum who played the violin then could she have played it in order to get her daughter through the tree when she realised the daughter followed her?
It’s probably not what happened because I’m pretty sure we would’ve noticed if she left with the violin but I do think it’s curious that we have now seen victors mums death confirmed but not his sisters, and during the death scene there’s no sign of his sister.
And if the bottle tree only responded to violins playing music why did the boy in white tell Christopher who doesn’t seem to know how to play the violin, if so could singing or any other instrument work?
Moment of silence for the trap door took me out 😅
The monsters don't run in human form. When they are in monster form they attack. Most times they were close enough to not having to run.
@@allcitybighec 1) Grandma Monster forces the door open in human.

Final Episode Title: "The Everwood Epiphany"
As the series finale begins, Boyd, Tabitha, and the other survivors are on the brink of despair. Victor reveals a cryptic map he’s been drawing for decades, showing a labyrinthine connection between the town, the forest, and a massive underground cavern marked as the "Heart of the From."
The survivors theorize that the creatures aren't just monsters but manifestations of the town's darkest memories and fears. Father Khatri’s diary, found by Donna, suggests that the town acts as a metaphysical trap designed to feed off human suffering and resolve unspoken guilt. The term "From" is revealed to be shorthand for "Fear Rules Over Memories."
The Descent
Boyd leads a final expedition underground, following Victor’s map. The journey is harrowing, with tunnels filled with ancient symbols and echoes of the past. As they get closer to the "Heart," the group begins to experience vivid flashbacks of their most traumatic memories, projected as illusions by the town’s energy source.
Tabitha discovers her visions of children playing in the woods were tied to her own childhood grief over a sibling she lost-a connection the town has exploited to keep her trapped.
The Truth
At the "Heart," they find a glowing, crystalline structure pulsating with energy. It’s revealed that the town was created as part of an experiment by an ancient, forgotten civilization seeking to overcome death and loss by anchoring people’s consciousnesses to a shared dream-realm. The town, however, evolved into a predatory system, trapping people in endless cycles of torment to sustain itself.
The group realizes they must destroy the "Heart" to break the cycle. But the act requires a sacrifice-someone must remain in the town to sever its link to the otherworldly energy source.
The Sacrifice
Boyd volunteers, haunted by guilt over his past and believing his sacrifice will redeem him. In a tearful farewell, he stays behind as the others ascend to the surface. He faces his fears one last time, confronting the apparition of his late wife, and destroys the "Heart."
The Aftermath
The survivors wake up in their homes, no longer in the town. Months later, Tabitha receives a mysterious postcard in the mail: a drawing of the town with a single phrase scrawled across it-"It’s not over."
The final shot zooms in on the postcard, revealing Boyd’s face reflected in a window behind her, his expression both sorrowful and resolute.
I think they never run because they never need to. Like they look down on us like we are ants. But when smiley saw Miranda at the far away tree, it was time to not fuck around, and he didn’t. Much like the example of ants, we can watch them easy no worries, but watch how fast a parent would lunge dive if they saw fire ants crawling onto their baby.
Rather, I think Tabitha being Miranda makes much more sense. Just think everytime Tabby has to calm down Victor she assumes a motherly role and is able to calm him down. Not necessarily something a sister would do unless she was put in a position where she had to. Plus, say the vision was in Eloise’s perspective from the first person view. Don’t you think we would hear Eloise react to anything going on in that scene? For instance, seeing her Mom get killed right in front of her! Idk it just doesn’t make sense, to me, for her to be Eloise.
I'm leaning towards both player-forces being ultimately indifferent to humans, so either can help or hurt the characters depending on their agenda in the game at the moment.
Which also makes me think the massacre that Victor survived wasn't a tantrum thrown by the monsters to make a point, but rather a standard disposal of game pieces after the game is over. I don't believe its design allows for them to be released.
Elgin's resignation plays into this, too. He appears to be gradually remembering more and more [of probably his previous incarnation's] experience of Fromville, and all these "memories" tell him is it's best to roll with the punches and get it over with, because there is no way out and fighting only makes everything worse.
So after the initial burst of denial on the bus, he doesn't even really get surprised by anything he encounters, first growing progressively sadder, and then seemingly giving into his role and letting go of the teddybear person he used to be in favor of playing his part right.
(I also don't fully believe Tabitha was actually out in the real world, there were way too many things happening to her that nudged her this way and that, like she was on a side quest but still fully under the game's control.)
Fatima is having smiley. Smiley's back! 😅
as a lake enthusiast I'm definitely here for the lakes.
@@sal3peat689 😂 😂 love it
All the excitement over the real or imaginary breadcrumb clues scattered by the scriptwriters. I'm more interested in the real mysteries - like that voice on the other end of the radio towards the end of the season 1 finale. Everything else is just too vague and subjective - like how everyone got it wrong about Tillie.
Is there any possibility that this connects to LOST as a prequel or sequel. Good vs Evil playing with souls on a different chess board?
Really like the Kimono Lady replacing Fatima theory... she'd make a great mole, or perhaps become a monster that taunts Boyd and Ellis every night. Could really see that pushing Boyd to his breaking point.
EVEN SLOWER... ITS THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
I JUST GOT GOOSEBUMPS YUPPPP. THAT THEROY ABOUT ELOISE TIME TRAVELING BECAUSE JULIE DID... BUT ALSOOOOOO, IT COULD BE LIKE HOW BOYD DID... REMEMBER HE WENT BACK INTO THEM RUINS WITH THE FLAME!!!!

That’s what I’m saying! I think Eloise got stuck in a situation like Boyd & couldn’t find her way out because she was just a child 🤯 I think the show could possibly end with the cliff hanger of showing us Eloise still alive somewhere!
We literally watched a monster Jump from one end to another when Jim was trapped under the house. Just saying
Faeries was the key word. Fae actually translates to from (which, as we know, is the name of the show)
They are in the fae realm. Not the fairytale version, the actual terrifying fae realm. No pixies and woodland creatures, just monsters and beasts and terrifying magic.
DANG ITZ CRAZY CAUSE I PAUSE WHILE WATCHING AND YOU ALL SAID IT TOO!!! ELOISE ACOSTA LOOOOL
The end of the series will be another massacre and Ethan becomes the new victor..then it will repeat itself
I've always wondered why the creatures are afraid of the talismans.....Maybe it can kill them???
How? It doesn't work if the monsters are already in the barrier. And carrying it openly doesn't work. It purpose seems to form a barrier only.
Viking Bindrunes are crafted onto the talismen, if the monster were Drauger, this makes sense. Look of Drauger in norse mythology
Can we just sacrifice Jim? Just lock him outside.
@@cpmow831 😂 😂 😂 people get mad at us for the Jim hate 🤷♂️
@ he deserves it
Monsters when they are in human form, they are static and dont move fast/attack...but when they are in full monster form they run/attack/movie quickly. Smiley turned into a monnster before running
Theories:
1. Man in Yellow will appear in the finale
2. Fatima's baby will be a conduit for the monsters to invade the real world OR Smiley reincarnated?
3. I think Tabitha is Eloise and not Miranda it would explain her "dreaming of the place as a kid" with her actually escaping Fromville the first time.
4. I think something is going to happen that will cause the talismans to stop working.
5. Season 4 will start with a past or future timeline
Im thinking they have to go through the Faraway Tree at night. To get to the next step.
Thats why smiley ran after Miranda because she was about to doit.
So hype for last ep.

Y'all will be missed man
@@bramboytrini400 we have so much more content coming out soon. Silo, Severance & Yellowjackets to name a few! Hope to see you in the comment section
Yeah.... the girl at the 24 minute mark definitely saw/read the leaks..... The other theories are cool though
Agreed. It’s so yuk when people act as is it was their original theory and pretend like they haven’t read every leak on Reddit.
Pretending that the theory is all theirs whilst droping spoilers is just a shit move.
@@tinmin91 I'll cut it out of the video. Thanks!
I didn’t hear any leak
@@r.c.7779 If you've seen all of the leaks, you'll know when you hear them. If you didn't notice, count yourself blessed ;)
He ran because back then they chased the villagers because it was what worked best to get them scared and worked up. There was no talisman to help them be safe.
Time travel is the key. The moster in season one asked Julie if he removed him. Someobe mention they think Tilie was Julie time traveled. I hink Tabbitha is Tabbitha but she has Merandas memory and everyone else chosen. .
Love the idea of using Discord voice chat to pipe in stream watchers :)

@@sceneinvaders oh hell yes
anyone else observe that Jim's wedding ring was on the wrong finger near the end of s03e01? But never before or since.
Really? That’s interesting, what do you think it means?
@@r.c.7779 you can see it at approximately 40 min in. No idea what it means but checked every episode and it's on the proper finger. Nothing on this show means nothing so it's curious and unlikely a continuity error - maybe it's explained in a scene on the cutting room floor.
Jim was acting completely different in that last episode #9. He was actually a good dad and supported his wife. Either he has been switched with a clone of himself, or the writers are setting us up to lose Jim.
@@jeff37801mf you mean the first episode of this season, it’s on the wrong finger right?
@@jeff37801mf also what finger is it on
If somebody don't look at the bottom of the fallen tree in the next episode I'm going to loose it. What if the kids were down there just looking up for someone to come pull them out of the cave this entire time?
I need that Christmas hoodie!
It's 15% off for the next 5 days! Which one do you like? Alien Invasion?
@@sceneinvaders the alien is definitely a buy. The alien with the Santa hat is awesome too.
@ I'm getting the same stuff 🤝
I got it. Desmond will be in the hatch!!
i give all creators little help : Tabatha is Victor's sister ;), its not dream its really happened to hear he just wakes memory.
I’ve rewatched every episode multiple times and I am almost positive that Fatima is the Smoke Monster and Jim is a reincarnation of Jacob. You saw it here first.
The “last time” the boy in white “got everyone killed”; he was spotted joyfully playing in a merry go round.
I think he is not there to help. It’s not a coincidence that he became friends with Victor and Ethan considering they are the only children in town. (Victor of course being child-minded). Does that have anything to do with the missing child in the sacrifice of the “encueue” children to complete the ritual?
The boy in white is the most evil entity in the town.
We did get a perspective change with Jasper and the BIW flashback. The theme of the episode was "we don't have all the information yet." So I expect the flashback with Miranda to change significantly with Eloise joining the next time we see it. Miranda and Tabitha are the same character archetype, and they have the same object-Petit-a. They have the same cause for desire. Just like Jade and Christopher. I'm not sold on it being reincarnation, but they are definitely connected.
I think the deal with Tilly and now Clara is the story needs characters other than the main characters to enter and effect a scene. And the production crew have their favorites that they like to use over and over again for any number of reasons. A side effect of reusing someone this way is they start to look suspicious during to always being in critical scenes and gives us something to chase for a while.
Yay my theory was included :)
@@FunTimeWithSouls told you 🤝
@ ♥️♥️
To add to my theory, Clara wasn't at the meeting to look for Fatima. SUS!
@@FunTimeWithSouls what was your number?
Acosta is Eloise who went through faraway tree and ended up in Maine years later
If it all ends at the beggining. Then when julie is messing with ethan. Julie 'kills' the toy. That could be refering to massacre. But tabitha says if monserters dont exsist then ethans toy is alive again because nothing was able to kill it. If julie is the only one to survive the massacre. She can now time travel. Either preventing the massacre or saving the kids ending fromville and preventing the monsters. And the family will be back in the RV seeing the tree in th3 road taking the detour and getting back to the highway with only julie knowing what happened. Crazy theory ik 😂
I think smiley running probably meant he wasn’t a monster yet. That would be cool
He morphed into a monster and ran
I don't think Acosta is Eloise because she has absolutely no recollection. The fact that everyone else has some sort of feelings or visions about Fromville kind of make me feel like she should have some sort of feelings about the place and she seems completely naïve.
I am still not sold that Tillie is actually dead. I think her "death" was intentional to isolate Fatima from the Colony house. I think there is more to come from Tillie. Not only that, if Fatima survives and Tillie is something else. It would negate Fatima murdering someone. I expect to see Tillie again in episode 10.
😱😭
That’s because Tilly is time traveling Julie lol
What if kimono lady is Maranda coming back from the lake of tears 😭 absolutely out of the box theory but would blow my mind.
The pond that the people from colony house go to is going to end up being the lake of tears. No one ever talks about how that was the first thing Elgin asked Fatima to show him. Miranda is 100% not Eloise… idk how anyone could think that. She’s definitely Miranda.
