Tabitha’s New Child Reveal In From Season 3 Episode 10 Makes The Biggest Matthews Family Tragedy Even Worse

WARNING! This article contains major SPOILERS for From’s season 3 finale!The Matthews family can’t catch a break in From, as Tabitha’s new discovery of her past life repeats her biggest tragedy with Jim before arriving in Fromville. Since season 2, Tabitha has frequently experienced visions of dead children who often repeat the word “Anghkooey,” but it took until From season 3’s ending for her to finally realize what those visions and that word mean. As it turns out, Tabitha has a much deeper connection to the children and this town than she ever could have imagined, and it gives her yet another tragedy to grieve.

After discovering that the bottle tree’s numbers are music notes, Jade plays the song on a violin, which causes him and Tabitha to remember the truth of their history in Fromville. It’s revealed that Tabitha and Jade are reincarnations of Miranda and Christopher, and that they’ve been reborn and returned to Fromville several times, but every past version of them has “failed” in their mission to save the children. Furthermore, one of the “Anghkooey” children that was murdered was Jade and Tabitha’s daughter in their original forms, which devastatingly isn’t the first time Tabitha has lost a child.

Tabitha Already Losing Thomas Makes The Death Of Her Daughter, One Of The “Anghkooey” Kids, More Tragic

Tabitha Grieves The Death Of Another Child Shortly After Losing Thomas

Considering Tabitha and Jim’s son, Thomas, had recently died before they became trapped in Fromville, it’s all the more heartbreaking that Tabitha’s past life revelations mean she’s grieving the loss of yet another child. Not only this, but Tabitha has likely experienced the deaths of several children across her various lifetimes. Her original form lost her daughter to the monsters’ sacrifice, Miranda lost Eloise the same night she died, and Tabitha lost Thomas before becoming trapped, suggesting a similar tragedy occurs in each lifetime.

All in one heavy moment, Tabitha’s memories flood back to her, causing her to grieve the deaths of more children at a time when Thomas’ death is still being processed by each member of the Matthews family. To make it worse, both Thomas’ death and the death of her past-life daughter occurred in situations that left Tabitha feeling guilty over not being able to “save” them. Thomas fatally fell off a changing table while Tabitha and Jim weren’t looking, while her “Anghkooey” child was killed in a sacrifice that she and Jade tried to stop.

Was Thomas’ Death A Way To Make Tabitha Remember Her Past In From?

Fromville May Have Sent Her Clues About Her Past Before Arriving

Considering Thomas died shortly before Tabitha became trapped in Fromville, it’s possible that his death was the town’s way of preparing Tabitha for what she would later discover. In addition to the children repeating the word “Anghkooey,” there have been various tactics to try to get Tabitha and Jade to remember who they are and what happened in their past lives. Much of this occurred once they had already come to town, but Tabitha’s childhood nightmares of the abandoned camp by the lake prove it also happened long beforehand.

Tabitha losing a child in a situation that she and Jim blame themselves for doesn’t seem to be a coincidence after discovering she couldn’t save her daughter from the sacrifice in Fromville. Tabitha’s purpose has always been to come back to Fromville and try to fulfill the mission to save the children, which she and Jade failed to do in their original lives. After losing Thomas before From, Tabitha would tragically be given even more emotional, redemptive motivation to save her daughter once she remembered her past.
