Warning: There are spoilers ahead for From season 3, episode 8, "Thresholds."From season 3, episode 7. However, this is not the only storyline that moves significantly forward, as Victor Kavanaugh (Scott McCord) makes a breakthrough discovery about his memories with Christopher (Thom Payne) and the ventriloquist doll, Jasper, that has far-reaching implications.

Meanwhile, the mystery of Elgin (Nathan D. Simmons) and the skeletal kimono woman he has been seeing receives some much-needed clarity, and is confirmed to be intertwined with what has been happening to Fatima. An even longer mystery of who threw the rope down to Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau) in the season 2 premiere is also answered in an unexpected and game-changing way. These developments make "Thresholds" one of the most consequential episodes yet for From's characters.

8 Christopher Was Talking To The Boy In White, Not Jasper

This Changes The Context Of Victor's Memory

Victor has spent much of season 3 trying to figure out what Jasper said to Christopher all those years ago. With help from Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno), Victor realizes that this memory took place in the church basement, and when he goes there, he realizes that it was the Boy in White, and not Jasper, who was talking to Christopher. This is similar, but not exactly the same, as one of the best From season 3 theories that suggested the Boy in White and Jasper are the same entity.

The Boy in White told Christopher that "the answers to the end are in the beginning" and that he needed to go through a faraway tree. Victor also realizes that this is why his mother later went through one of the faraway trees, although her fate after doing this remains a mystery. While it seems like the Boy in White may have been trying to help the residents, Victor also knows that it was after this interaction that Christopher took a dark turn, for which the Boy in White may be responsible.

7 Boyd Hides Fatima From The Residents

He Will Do Anything For His Family

Despite Fatima murdering another resident, Boyd is still determined to protect her. He hides her in the forest while he and his son, Ellis (Corteon Moore), figure out what to do next. Fatima is not just another resident, but is Boyd's daughter-in-law. Boyd has already lost his wife, Abby (Lisa Ryder), because of how the Town and its supernatural forces took hold of her, and he refuses to see the same thing happen, and to see Fatima suffer a similar fate.

As Kenny Liu (Ricky He) and Acosta (Samantha Brown) question the other residents and investigate Tillie's death, Boyd pretends as though he does not know what really happened. The Fatima situation is making it increasingly difficult for Boyd to balance protecting his family while also protecting all the Township's residents. Soon, Boyd may not be able to protect both, and will have to decide if this means saving Fatima at the expense of the other residents, or saving the residents at the expense of Fatima.

6 Fatima Is Pregnant After All

Elgin Is Eerily Invested In Her Pregnancy

According to the ultrasound in From season 3, episode 6, Fatima is not pregnant. However, Elgin confirms otherwise when he tells Fatima that she is pregnant, although the baby is not hers. Elgin takes his own blood, so Fatima can drink it, lures her into the cellar, and forces her to stay there when she tries to escape. Since Elgin has been taking directions from and trying to help the skeletal kimono woman, it seems that Fatima may be carrying her baby.

Elgin has been seeing the kimono woman since season 2.

Fatima being forced to carry and give birth to a baby against her will is one of From's darkest storylines yet. It is also chilling to see the normally kind Elgin making Fatima suffer, and while he believes he is doing the right thing, he is being manipulated by the kimono woman. She told Elgin that she could help save him and his friends, and he may have the misguided belief that this promise will be honored if he ensures the safe delivery of her baby.

5 A Future Version Of Julie Threw The Rope To Boyd In Season 2

From Has Officially Introduced Time Travel

When Boyd was at the bottom of the dungeon well in the season 2 premiere, someone threw a rope down to him. Who threw the rope was never answered, as when Boyd climbed up, he only saw Martin (Robert Verlaque), who was chained to the wall. "Thresholds" finally answers this mystery as Julie Matthews (Hannah Cheramy) is transported into the dungeon, she time travels into the past, and sees the imprisoned Martin, who tells her to throw the rope down the well. She then travels to another point in time before Boyd climbs up.

Time travel has the potential to explain many other mysteries about the Town, its history, its origins, and may even be the key to unlocking the secrets about how to escape.

This confirms that a future version of Julie threw the rope to Boyd in season 2. Such a revelation changes the entire fabric of From, as time travel is now officially part of the show's fictional universe. Time travel has the potential to explain many other mysteries about the Town, its history, its origins, and may even be the key to unlocking the secrets about how to escape. The mystery of From's missing motel, which was emphasized earlier in season 3, could also be answered through time travel as well.

4 The Children Were Killed By Someone They Trusted

Betrayal Is Entrenched In The Town's History

As Victor recalls what was said between the Boy in White and Christopher, he provides new insight into From's "Anghkooey" children. He re the Boy in White telling Christopher that the children were born in the dark, and then they were murdered in the dark by the people that they loved and trusted. This information may help Tabitha better understand the visions she has of the children, along with her mission to free them, which Victor's mother also believed she was meant to do.

The horrific injustice done to the children may be at the heart of how the Town and From's monsters were created. The monsters may be the ones who murdered the children and are being eternally punished for their sins. This memory suggests that Tabitha's focus on helping the children is even more important than she realized, as her saving them may be the only thing that can undo the tragedy that created the Town, which could also free the currently trapped residents.

3 The Origin Of Jade's Mysterious Symbol Is Revealed

The Children's Hope Created The Symbol

Victor's memory of the Boy in White also includes a long-awaited answer behind the origin of the mysterious symbol that Jade Herrera (David Alpay) has been seeing since season 1. According to what the Boy in White told Christopher, when the children laid on the stones, they poured their hope into the roots that became a tree. As Sara listens to Victor, she realizes that this is how From's faraway trees were created, which makes sense given that the Boy in White told Christopher he would have to go through a faraway tree to save the children.

Despite the From season 2's ending, they were pouring their hopes into the roots and making them grow. Despite others' skepticism, Jade was right about the symbol, the faraway trees, and the children all being connected.

2 The Residents Blame Sara For Tillie's Death

Sara's Season 1 Murders Still Haunt Them

Since Boyd is concealing the truth about what actually happened to Tillie and is trying to protect Fatima, the residents naturally direct their suspicions toward Sara, who killed multiple characters in season 1. Boyd knows that Sara did not kill Tillie, and does his best to defend her, but there is only so much he can say or do without revealing what Fatima did. When Boyd eventually its the truth to Donna (Elizabeth Saunders), he insists that the residents will give Fatima the same benefit of the doubt that they gave to Sara.

Donna explains that they only gave Sara the benefit of the doubt because they trusted Boyd, but she emphasizes that they never accepted what Sara did. Donna also underscores that the residents have lost much of the faith they once had in Boyd, and that they will not accept what Fatima has done. The residents' unresolved anger at Sara, what they will do when they learn Fatima killed Tillie, and their waning faith in Boyd do not bode well for the future.

1 Henry Gives Advice To Jim

Their Interaction May Point To Something More Sinister

After Jim Matthews (Eion Bailey) goes to the bar and argues with Jade, Victor's father, Henry Kavanaugh (Robert Joy), offers Jim advice. Henry explains that he sees Jim making the same mistakes that he did. Miranda's visions of the Town and her fixation on saving the children caused Henry to hold on tighter and to try and "fix" his wife, even though he now realizes that she was never "broken," and he sees Jim doing the same with Tabitha. He also warns Jim about the dangers of trying to control his family.

This is either the beginning of a promising friendship or a piece in the gradual reveal that there may be something more sinister going on with Henry in From season 3.

As two fathers currently struggling to connect with and help their children, Henry and Jim have a great deal in common. While Henry's advice may seem helpful, his presence in the bar before Jade arrived was not explained, and was forgotten due to Jade and Jim's argument. Henry may be trying to genuinely help Jim, but Jim is also easily manipulated, and Henry may be using this against him. This is either the beginning of a promising friendship or a piece in the gradual reveal that there may be something more sinister going on with Henry in From season 3.
