As we dive into From Season 3, numerous questions arise, particularly regarding the fate of Fatima’s (Pegah Ghafoori) baby.
Initially told she could never conceive, Donna (Elizabeth Saunders) considers this a rare miracle amidst the challenges of Fromville. However, Ellis (Corteon Moore) harbors doubts, worrying that their newborn baby might resemble the smiley monsters that haunt their existence.
The couple faces significant challenges—In From Season 3 Episode 1, the community’s food supply dwindles, and Fatima experiences severe nausea.
In Episode 2, Marielle diagnoses Fatima with extreme morning sickness and provides medication to alleviate her symptoms. After their visit to Colony House, Ellis goes to speak with Boyd (Harold Perrineau), leaving Fatima alone.
Unexpectedly, Fatima finds herself drawn to a pile of rotten crops outside, devouring them as if they were a delectable meal.
Could Fatima’s strange cravings indicate something sinister about her pregnancy?
If the baby is indeed a monster, it could explain her bizarre appetite for spoiled food. Viewers noted a subtle moment just before this scene: when Fatima attempts to open the Colony House door, she struggles significantly.
Interestingly, another resident effortlessly enters after her failed attempt.
Fans of From will recall that the smiley monsters cannot enter if a talisman is present and the door is secured. One viewer remarked on Reddit, “Did anyone else notice that before Fatima ate the rotten food, she tried to open the door to the Colony House but couldn’t? Then the lady with the rotten food walked in easily. Does this hint that Fatima is transforming into a monster or that her baby will be one?”

Another fan shared, “OMG! I revisited this specific scene—the 39:45 mark in Season 3 Episode 2—and you could hear the doorknob click like it was stuck or locked. The talisman must be keeping her out or, as another poster suggested, it’s what they want us to believe. This season is off to an incredible start!”
Yet another observer noted further evidence supporting the theory of Fatima or her unborn child being a creature: “Ellis opened the door for her at the clinic. I rewatched and saw she never opens an exterior door by herself; it seems like others are either leaving doors open or simply being polite.”
Compellingly, several fans have theorized that Fatima’s pregnancy could be linked to the rotting crops in Fromville—perhaps they’re providing nourishment for her child.
“It appears the environment knows Fatima is pregnant and has intentionally decayed those vegetables to sustain the baby,” commented one user.
Another added, “Exactly! This was all about providing for the baby rather than reducing food supplies for the town. They simply don’t care; it was all to nurture the unborn child.”
Additionally, fans observed that Fatima became pregnant shortly after Boyd killed one of the monsters in Season 2.
“Isn’t it odd that she fell pregnant right after they eliminated one of the monsters? It feels like she might be developing a replacement…” commented one viewer.
“In Season 2 Episode 7, Fatima was doubtful about her pregnancy, but Donna reassured her, calling it a miracle,” explained another. “However, Donna also remarked, ‘a miracle is just the other side of a nightmare.’ If Fatima’s pregnancy seems like a miracle on the surface, the reality could be a nightmare within. I wonder if this foreshadows the true nature of what’s growing inside her.”
In summary, this theory has substantial merit. Nevertheless, given the show’s pacing, fans may have to wait to uncover whether Fatima is harboring a monstrous entity until later episodes.
In the meantime, viewers should stay tuned for more clues, which is all part of the intrigue the series delivers.
From Season 3 Episodes 1-2 are available for streaming on MGM+, with Episode 3 scheduled for release on Sunday, October 6.
