WARNING! This article contains major SPOILERS for From's season 3 finale!Several shocking revelations are made in meaning of From’s symbol, of which both men had recurring visions, Tabitha’s parallels to Victor’s mother, Miranda, weren’t explored until season 3. With Jade frequently seeing visions of Christopher and Tabitha finding increasingly significant similarities between herself and Miranda, From season 3 was gradually setting up a bigger shock reveal for the four characters.
In From season 3, episode 9, Tabitha experienced a vision of Miranda’s death over 40 years prior, but noted that it was less like a vision, and more like a memory of something she personally experienced. After being shaken by this, Jade and Tabitha finally worked out the meaning of the bottle tree’s numbers in From’s season 3 finale, which turned out to be music notes. As Jade played the song on the violin, the “Anghkooey” children came to the tree, and the music ultimately recovered both Jade and Tabitha’s past-life memories – revealing they were reincarnations of Miranda and Christopher.
Tabitha & Jade Were Both Miranda & Christopher In Past Lives – Their Connections & Parallels Explained
Tabitha & Jade Have Returned To From's Town Multiple Times In Different Forms
The power of the lullaby that Jade plays on the violin in From season 3, episode 10 helps the two fully realize the truth of their past. Both are flooded with memories from their previous lives at that moment, as they realize that Tabitha was Miranda and Jade was Christopher in a past life. When Miranda died, the town’s forces reincarnated her as Tabitha, with the same being true for Jade and Christopher. However, there were many versions of them before Miranda and Christopher, with those reincarnations also failing to save From’s “Anghkooey” children.

The notion that Tabitha was once Miranda and Jade was once Christopher finally explains why they have so many story similarities. Tabitha and Miranda made the same bracelet for Jim and Henry because past versions of them had crafted that exact accessory across several lives. Tabitha notes that she’s made that bracelet “so many times,” indicating that each reincarnation before herself and Miranda would have made that for their husbands. It’s also why they both share a love for Joni Mitchell’s song “Blue” – those parts of their past lives trickle down into the next incarnation.
Tabitha and Jade realize that the children's repeated word, "Anghkooey," translates to "," as the kids were trying to get them to who they were and what happened.
Similarly, it explains why Christopher and Jade were largely alone in town, and quickly became obsessed with the mysterious symbol. The recurrence of that icon was the town’s way of trying to make From’s characters “” their past lives and their mission to rescue the children, which all versions before them had failed at. It seems that, in order to who they were, each reincarnation of Tabitha/Miranda had to have a son and daughter, while every version of Jade/Christopher had to essentially be alone with an analytical mindset to solve the puzzles the town presented to them.

From Season 3 Officially Repeats The LOST Twist From 17 Years Ago That We All Should Have Seen Coming
From is following in Lost's footsteps as the MGM+ science-fiction horror series repeats a cleverly teased plot twist that Lost used 17 years ago.
Miranda, Tabitha, Jade, and Christopher being brought to town terrifyingly shows how the town’s powers can manifest outside its geographical boundaries. When trying to analyze the meaning of Tabitha’s “memory” or Miranda, Jade relates the scientific Law of Thermodynamics, which essentially states that humans are made of a certain matter and energy that can’t be created nor destroyed. Therefore, when Miranda and Christopher died, their energy simply changed form, being transferred into Tabitha and Jade upon their births. That energy was also always partially maintained in From’s town, which is why they always returned, but in different forms.
Tabitha & Jade's Original Identities Were As The Parents Of One Of The Anghkooey Kids
Tabitha & Jade Failed To Save Their Daughter In Their First Lives
Before Tabitha and Jade were Miranda and Christopher, they had taken on several other undisclosed identities across their previous lives. However, the cycle began with their original “forms” as the parents of one of the “Anghkooey” children. After Jade plays the song, he realizes that it’s a lullaby they used to sing to the children, because one of those kids was their daughter.
From’s nocturnal monsters were once living people, who sacrificed the children in exchange for eternal life.
Victor previously revealed that the children were killed by people who they loved and trusted, and Tabitha and Jade’s original forms were two of the only people who tried to stop the sacrifice. From’s season 3 finale expands on what really happened to those children, explaining that From’s nocturnal monsters were once living people, who sacrificed the children in exchange for eternal life. That eternal life would end up turning them into the town’s creatures, with the children creating the faraway tree through their hope of being saved.
Tabitha and Jade’s original forms didn’t engage in the sacrifice, but it seems that they still achieved “eternal life” in another sense due to their reincarnations. It’s unclear exactly why Tabitha and Jade’s original forms weren’t able to save their daughter, but From season 4 could potentially reveal that they were the ones who told the children the “story” that gave them hope. Due to their role in trying to stop the sacrifice, Tabitha and Jade’s souls have never truly known rest since the moment of their daughter’s death.
Why From's Town Keeps Bringing Tabitha & Jade Back As Different People
Tabitha & Jade's Soulds Are Haunted By Their Failure With Their Daughter
In Victor’s memory of Christopher in the church basement, the Boy in White gave Christopher a message that “the answers to the end are in the beginning,” and to get these answers, he would have to travel through From’s faraway bottle tree to the lighthouse to save the children. It seems that this is the only way for the characters to escape town, which also means bringing an end to the cycle that reincarnates Tabitha and Jade, dating back to the creation of the monsters and the children’s sacrifice.

From's Faraway Bottle Trees Explained
The supernatural origins, true purpose, and bottles hanging from the faraway trees in From are still a big mystery for the residents to solve.
Therefore, Tabitha and Jade continue to be brought back in new forms so that they can succeed where their past incarnations failed. Somehow, Tabitha and Jade have to save the children, which Miranda, Christopher, and all versions dating back to their original forms as one of the “Anghkooey” children’s parents couldn’t accomplish. Jade and Tabitha have to save their daughter for their souls to finally rest, and if they fail, they’ll simply come back at a later time to begin the cycle again. This time around, they have to find a new tactic to save the children “in the beginning.”
Tabitha & Jade's Identity Reveal Confirms Why They Came To From's Town On The Same Day
Their Souls Are Connected & Drawn To Town To Repeat The Cycle Together
The population in Fromville isn’t too large, so it seemed to be shocking to Boyd and the established residents that the Matthews family arrived in From’s town separately on the same day that Jade and his friend Tobey drove in. However, this was clearly by the design of the town, as Tabitha and Jade needed to arrive at the same time in order to fulfill their t purpose. The same occurrence was true for Miranda and Christopher, who arrived in town on the same day and died in town on the same night – repeating From’s cycle after their tragic failures.

From is a series revolving around a mysterious American town that ensnares newcomers, forcing its inhabitants to maintain order and find an escape amidst nighttime perils from the surrounding forest. The residents face threats from terrifying creatures emerging after sunset, complicating their struggle for survival.
