The From Season 3 delivers an explosive finale, unraveling mysteries while raising new questions. Due to Episode 10, fans were left stunned as major characters met grim fates, time travel took center stage, and the town’s sinister secrets deepened.
Jim Matthews’ Shocking Death
On other matters, the biggest surprise was, without doubt, Jim Matthews’ (Eion Bailey) death at the hands of the mysterious Man in the Yellow Suit (Douglas E. Hughes). The very mysterious villain, who had sent a warning to Tabitha not to dig the hole in Season 1, declares, “Knowledge comes at a cost.” He sends Jim to his grave not as a wanton act but as punishment for getting Tabitha and Jade too close to the truth regarding the formation of the town.
This marks a significant shift in the series, as major characters had largely been spared until now. Jim’s death increases the stakes for everybody in the Township. His family and the town’s residents are now decimated, which will lay the stage for deeper conflict in the next season.

Use of Time Travel and Julie Matthews’ Role
The From Season 3 finale introduces another jaw-dropping twist: Julie Matthews (Hannah Cheramy) time-travels to the moments before her father’s death. Despite her brother Ethan’s warnings that the past cannot be changed, Julie tries desperately to intervene. Tragically, her efforts fail, and she witnesses Jim’s brutal murder.
This is the ongoing part of where the series continued to explore traveling through time. Julie’s ability to move through timelines is the hope for finding very important knowledge, though it cannot change the town’s destiny. Beginning with the task of solving Boyd’s mystery over the rope, her journey is most likely to be pivotal in Season 4.
Tabitha and Jade’s Stomping Realization
In the From Season 3 final, Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Jade Herrera (David Alpay) find themselves being deeply connected to the town. They realize that they are reincarnations of former residents Miranda and Christopher, who also tried to save the children of the town. Their shared visions of reaching out to the “Anghkooey” children and connection with the bottle trees create this cycle.
The numbers found in the bottles, which turned out to be musical notes, allowed Jade to play a tune that brought back the children. The events keep Tabitha and Jade from forgetting who they were. The song they used as the lullaby to their lost child adds more heartbreaking tragedy to their remembering.
Fatima’s Pregnancy and the Immortality of the Monsters
Fatima’s (Pegah Ghafoori) pregnancy is ending terrifyingly. She births Smiley, a resurrected monster killed in Season 2. It confirms the monsters’ immortality because they are tied to a dark bargain made many years ago. This harkens back to Victor’s earlier claims that the children were murdered by loved ones because it adds to the revelation that the monsters sacrificed their offspring for eternal life.
The Man in the Yellow Suit appears to be the evil man who gives immortality if one can serve him, but his fear of what Tabitha and Jade discovered implies a weak side that may be used against him in From Season 4.

Dark Choices by Boyd and Sara
Boyd tortures Elgin (Nathan D. Simmons) to find out information about Fatima, beating him severely in the head with a hammer. Sara, as she does repeatedly in the episode, violates the boundaries of her violence-ridden nature and gouges out Elgin’s eye to get the information she needs. These choices portray extreme measures characters will go to to live and protect their loved ones.
The Town’s Circular Trend
The ending plays much up on the town’s curse as circular. Tabitha and Jade’s failures to rescue the children mirror the monsters’ never-ending series of atrocities. Though the ending is depressing, Jim’s murder and the Man in the Yellow Suit’s terror may mean the circle is breaking.
With From heads into From Season 4, there’s never been any more at stake. Secrets about town are unraveling but at great cost. Will Tabitha and Jade obtain salvation from their newfound knowledge or more despair?
