Season 3 of FROM brings back the mystery and terror as strange and horrifying happenings keep haunting the locals of Fromville. The plot resumes with Tabitha Matthews (played by Catalina Sandino Moreno) awakening in a Camden, Maine hospital in the season opener, EPISODE 1 (“Shattered”).

As they frantically hunt for Tabitha in the woods, Jim (Eion Bailey) and Kenny (Ricky He) come across odd statues and cottages.
Back in Fromville, the townspeople are terrified by the monsters, and food shortages worsen into a crisis as crops wilt. The demons even release the town’s livestock as their attacks intensify. Boyd (Halfred Perrineau) is emotionally destroyed after Tian-Chen (Elizabeth Moy) is brutally murdered in front of him in a heartbreaking turn of events. EPISODE 2 “When We Go” dives deeper into the aftermath against this tragic backdrop, revealing even more surprises and information.
From Season 3 Episode 2 Recap
The terrible events of Episode 1 are resumed the next morning in this episode. The runaway animals from the barn surround Jade (David Alpay) and Victor (Scott McCord) as they arrive at the sheriff’s office. The village is in disarray as they try to herd the animals back after the ‘Monsters’ released them all the night before, knowing that these animals are now their only source of food.
Middle of this mayhem – Jade finds a disturbing scene at the barn. He discovers Tian-Chen’s lifeless body laying close to Boyd, who is bound to a pole. Boyd, clearly frightened, mumbles in an unknown tongue, explaining to him how the beasts had tormented Tian-Chen right in front of his eyes. The monsters mocked him by leaving the key to his handcuffs in his own shirt pocket, which added to the cruelty. After returning to town with Tian-Chen’s body, Jade and Boyd deposit it in the church for a traditional funeral. The villagers don’t doubt Boyd’s survival, but Donna (played by Elizabeth Saunders) gets angry and accuses Boyd of killing Tian-Chen by pursuing the herd. Donna retreats when she realizes she is placing too much blame on Boyd as he becomes enraged and defends his choices.
In yet another scene — Boyd is comforted by Kristi (Chloe Van Landschoot), who begs him not to bear the weight of Tian-Chen’s passing. While she tries to ease Boyd’s anguish – the death of Tian-Chen lingers over the community, as her comments echo Boyd’s previous support for her throughout her own hardships.
In the meantime, Jim and Kenny stumble upon something unexpected in the jungle. Jim discovers a wonderful plot of wild crops and a lake full of fish after spending the night in a distant cottage – this is an odd discovery given the severe food shortages in “Fromville”. When Kenny finds out of his mother’s untimely death, their happiness is short-lived as they bring the loot back to town. The young man is deeply sad – despite his attempts to appear stoic, and his sorrow is profoundly felt. A joyful song that seems to be ridiculing the locals is played on the diner’s record player, adding to the bizarre atmosphere. Kenny crushes the player out of frustration in a symbolic act of defiance.
Enraged, Kenny comes up with a scheme to get revenge on the creatures. After collecting moonshine from the closed bar, he tells Boyd that he plans to set the monsters alive in the tunnels where they live. Boyd chooses to go with Kenny after realizing how miserable he is. But as they get to the tunnel entrance, Boyd gently persuades Kenny to change his mind by relaying Tian-Chen’s last words – which are that Boyd needs to take care of Kenny because he will now be on his own. Kenny gives up on his risky plan due to overwhelming emotion, and the two go back to town for Tian-Chen’s Funeral.
In the meantime, Pegah Ghafoori’s character Fatima Hassan is still having a difficult time with — her pregnancy and is underweight. Mari (Kristi’s fiancée, portrayed by Kaelen Ohm) checks on her and reassures the pair that her symptoms are typical — when Ellis (played by Corteon Moore) brings her to the health center. But when Fatima is left alone at Colony House and starts to enjoy eating ‘Decaying vegetables’. This unsettling moment suggests something worse — raising the possibility that the child she is carrying is connected to the — paranormal activities in Fromville.
In the end, Tabitha keeps looking for solutions. Victor’s father, Henry, is the man who wakes him up in his house. She discovers startling information regarding his family’s abduction thirty years prior. Miranda Henry’s wife, has painted eerie images of Fromville, implying that the community has been stalking families for many years. The mystery surrounding Fromville grows as — Henry struggles to believe Tabitha’s account, making unforeseen connections between the past and present.
Jim Matthews and his eldest daughter Julie (Hannah Cheramy), in addition to these central threads. Julie is obviously furious with Jim after his brief foray into the forest in the hopes of finding his missing wife — Tabitha. She tells her horrific story from the previous night, when the creatures assaulted her and Ethan, and she laments her father’s lack of accountability. Julie reveals that the family was already having difficulty adjusting to the loss of their youngest son, Thomas, prior to becoming stuck in Fromville. Jim and Tabitha abandoned Ethan during that time, which made Julie – who was only fifteen at the time – take on the role of a parent for her younger brother.
Julie is now unwilling to take on that job in ‘Fromville’, primarily out of concern that Jim’s careless antics could result in his demise. This touching exchange between a father and daughter emphasizes the effects of trauma on each character and intensifies the family drama.
By the end of the episode — After listening to Julie’s concerns, Jim lets her and Ethan visit the barn while he goes home. The most shocking moment is when the house phone mysterious rings. Jim is shocked to hear his late son Thomas’s voice — on the other end — when he answers the call. This terrifying scene shows that the dead are capable of communicating with the living in some way. More likely, though, the monsters are just utilizing this as another nasty way to torture the locals.
