Tabitha has made her return in Season 3 of *From*, and there’s an intriguing fan theory suggesting that her excursion into the real world may have been meaningful after all.
Reflecting on the Season 2 finale, we saw Tabitha (portrayed by Catalina Sandino Moreno) pushed from the tower by the mysterious boy in white, leading her to wake up in reality.
At the onset of Season 3, she finds herself stranded in Camden, Maine, where she reconnects with Victor’s father, Henry (played by Robert Joy).
In a pivotal moment during Season 3, Episode 4, Tabitha returns to Fromville via ambulance, accompanied by Henry.
Tabitha’s return to Fromville
There has been some speculation regarding the significance of Tabitha’s journey, particularly in light of the boy in white’s statement, “This is the only way,” before he pushed her. This raises questions about what her involvement might mean.
In the latest episode, viewers witness Victor (Scott McCord) delve into the troubling backstory of Christopher, a ventriloquist whose descent into darkness was triggered by foreboding visions akin to those Jade (David Alpay) is currently experiencing.
Flashbacks reveal that a young Victor was instructed by his mother Miranda to take cover with his sister Eloise. Unfortunately, she disobeys and goes outside, leading to a grim discovery — when Victor finally emerges, he finds everyone in their town has perished, leaving the boy in white as his only companion.
One **Reddit user** proposed that “Tabitha leaving is the only way to avert another cycle reminiscent of Christopher’s.”
The user noted, “The Boy in White’s declaration that ‘this is the only way’ before directing Tabitha out of the lighthouse raises questions about the importance of her actions, especially since she returned to Fromville.”
“I believe that her departure and subsequent return represents a flicker of hope for the town while the residents grapple with despair, but there’s likely much more to her journey,” they elaborated.
Christopher’s dark descent following his disturbing visions
The Redditor continued, “Jade might conclude that leaving means returning swiftly, which could lead him to believe that defeating the place is their only escape.”
“It’s possible that Christopher betrayed the townspeople through a misguided bargain with the entity residing in Jasper in his desperate bid for freedom.”
“Tabitha’s all-encompassing journey underscores the notion that the entities possess influence beyond Fromville, with the power to bring individuals back,” they argued.
“This insight might reinforce Jade’s journey to resist any entity’s bargains, ultimately halting the cycle of murders linked to Christopher and moving the town closer to liberation.”
The user concluded, “The objective has shifted from mere escape to confronting the cursed place as a whole. Simply fleeing is meaningless if you end up back inside.”
Others resonated with this theory, with one noting that Jade’s sharing his hallucinations with Kristi (Chloe Van Landschoot) and Kenny (Ricky He) in Episode 4 was a positive initial move.
“Our characters are poised to break the cycle, and I genuinely hope Jade chooses a different path than Christopher,” they commented. “Your theories feel incredibly plausible.”
“You absolutely captured the essence of the situation — escaping isn’t the final solution if it leads to inevitable return,” they added.
However, some fans express skepticism, particularly due to the Matthews family’s notorious tendency to withhold critical information for reasons that remain unclear (we’re looking at you, Jim).
One remarked, “Considering how the Matthews handle significant situations, I’m predicting Tabitha won’t even disclose how she escaped.”
Another comment read, “If they don’t start sharing vital information soon, I might just start yelling at my screen!”
A different perspective emerged, suggesting, “I largely agree. Henry is likely to play a crucial role in helping Victor confront his trauma, but I suspect there’s no way to entirely eliminate the entity’s presence. Perhaps Boyd (Harold Perrineau) becomes the ‘keeper’, and they all learn to adapt to their surroundings.”
Only time will tell what the creators have in store for the narrative. Anticipate the release of From Season 3 Episode 5 on Sunday, October 20.
