WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for season 2, episode 10 of the show "From" titled "Once Upon a Time..." Actor Harold Perrineau, who portrays Sheriff Boyd Stevens, discusses his thoughts on the cliffhanger ending of season 2. In the finale, Tabitha Matthews, a resident of the town, is pushed out of a lighthouse by an unknown individual called the Boy in White. The episode concludes with Tabitha waking up in a hospital in a different town, leaving viewers uncertain about whether she managed to escape and return to civilization.
In an interview with TV Insider, Perrineau was asked about the cliffhanger and his thoughts on its meaning. While he avoided revealing any spoilers, he shared various intriguing theories regarding Tabitha's fate, the potential reactions of the townspeople to her disappearance, and the possibility of finding a way to leave the town. Read Perrineau's comments below.
Someone recently asked me, "Will anyone die?" and I replied, "It all depends on how you define death, I suppose." If you believe she is deceased, then perhaps leaving the town requires one to die. However, if you believe she has simply disappeared, then we can assume the town is a place that allows both entry and exit. The challenge lies in discovering the means to access this entrance and exit. It seems The Boy in White forcefully guides her, stating, "This is the sole route to take."
What The Tabitha Cliffhanger Means For From Season 3
: Victor's mother's whereabouts and the possibility of her return have piqued my curiosity. Did she not come back, or is she still out there searching? When Tabitha awakens in the new town, my initial reaction was a mix of excitement and concern. The events that unfold are bound to stir up trauma within both the town and Tabitha herself. If Victor's mother is deceased, one can only imagine the torment she must be enduring in the afterlife, yearning to reunite with her family. However, I have a hunch that she is still alive.The Tabitha cliffhanger in the season 2 finale and Perrineau's comments hint at the distinctiveness of season 3 compared to previous seasons. Unlike seasons 1 and 2, which mainly unfolded in the town and its surrounding forest, season 3 will introduce a new and significant location where Tabitha is now. This expansion amplifies the series' breadth and impact. Season 3 is likely to interweave Tabitha's experiences in this enigmatic place with the happenings in town, where the Matthews family and other residents are trembling with fear and anxiety over Tabitha's sudden disappearance.
In Season 3, Tabitha's return to the real world after being pushed by the Boy in White opens up the possibility for further exploration. She embarks on a search for Victor's mother, Abby (Boyd's wife), and other characters who seemingly died but actually escaped to the real world through death. Together, these characters join forces to find a way back to the town and rescue their loved ones, shedding light on the mysterious phenomenon of people from different parts of the country ending up in the town.
Alternatively, Tabitha might find herself trapped in another dangerous realm, teeming with monsters and malevolent visions that can prove fatal. It is possible that her pursuit of the town's secrets placed her in grave danger, ultimately resulting in the Boy in White pushing her and creating the illusion of escape while she remains trapped in a new type of confinement. Fortunately, the renewal of Season 3 ensures that the unresolved cliffhanger surrounding Tabitha's situation will be addressed upon the show's return.
