WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for From season 3, episode 2!The impossible continues to appear possible in this mysterious town, with the final moments ofFromseason 3, episode 2 seeingJim Matthews receive a cryptic call from someone claiming to be his son, Thomas.Fromhas frequently reiterated that the reality and rules of nature from the outside world don’t all apply to the Township, making it difficult forFrom’s ensemble of charactersto know what to believe. Now, from Fatima’s miraculous pregnancy to Abby appearing to Boyd in season 2, the MGM+ TV show advances its mysteries with a phone call from Tabitha and Jim’s dead son.
Dead characters returning through visions isn’t a novel concept forFrom, but a phone call from a child who died in infancy is a new and unexpected twist. InFromseason 3, episode 2’s ending, Jim answers thedeceased Tian-Chen’s phone – which only works when mysterious forces call – and the caller responds, “Dad? It’s Thomas.” Jim being shocked is an understatement, asFromseason 1 revealed that his infant son, Thomas, died falling from a changing tableshortly before the series began. This now opens up some major questions. Is Thomas alive inFrom’s world? If not, who (or what) called Jim?
Thomas Calling Jim In From Season 3 Is Likely A Trick By The Town
The Town Is Using Jim’s Vulnerabilities With Thomas' Death Against Him
The most likely explanation for Jim getting a call from Thomas is that it was a trick on behalf of the town’s supernatural forces.From’s town has used the characters’ family members and lost loved ones as weapons against them, such as Boyd’s wife Abby appearing to him during season 2.Thomas’ death is the most tragic event in Jim and Tabitha’s lives and has left them with massive guilt, and the town is using that against themto manipulate their sanity and sense of reality.
Those forces are using the tragedy to attempt to break the vulnerable Jim while he watches Julie and Ethan on his own.
As much as Jim knows deep down that whoever is calling him is not Thomas, he equally wants to believe that it is. This call gives Jim misguided hope that his son may still be alive, perhapsallowing him the opportunity to relieve the suffocating guilt he’s felt over failing his child. Thomas’ death tore apart the Matthews family, and withTabitha currently outsideFrom’s town in Camden, Maine, those forces are using the tragedy to attempt to break the vulnerable Jim while he watches Julie and Ethan on his own.
Thomas & Jim’s Phone Call Hints At Repeating From Season 2’s Boyd & Abby Story
Thomas' Influence Over Jim Will Likely Mirror Boyd’s Visions Of Abby
ThroughoutFromseason 2, Boyd was plagued with visions of his deceased wife Abby, who died in the town prior to the arrival of the Matthews family. Thevision version of Abby attempted to get Boyd to fall victim to the town’s pessimistic influence, but he finally got rid of her – or whatever was appearing with her likeness – inFromseason 2’s endingafter smashing the music box and saving Julie, Marielle, and Randall. “Thomas” is presumably calling Jim to similarly tempt him inFromseason 3, likely sending him into the hands of the town’s dangerous forces.
