FROM – Season 3 Episode 2 – When We Go – SPOILERS ⁓<\/h4>\n
\"Robert<\/a>

Henry<\/strong> and Tabitha<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

The episode’s title comes from something Jade<\/strong> (David Alpay<\/a>) says after he and Kristi<\/strong> (Chloe Van Landschoot<\/a>) finish making Tien Chen Liu’s corpse presentable for viewing. Addressing the dead woman, he says: “You’ll come with us when we go.”<\/em> Tien Chen will likely be buried beside her husband who was killed in the show’s early days when Sara<\/strong> (Avery Konrad<\/a>) paid attention to voices only she could hear and opened the door at night to let the monsters in. Despite her recent helpfulness, Sara is still ostracized for that, and for other, similar transgressions. <\/p>\n

\"Harold<\/a>

Boyd<\/strong> and Kenny<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Standing next to the empty swimming pool in town, Kristi tries to help Boyd<\/strong> (Harold Perrineau<\/a>) avoid blaming himself for what happened to Kenny’s mother. We learn that the upside down truck in the pool belonged to a young couple named Danny<\/strong> and Shay<\/strong>, whom both Boyd and Kristi apparently knew. One wonders if they died when the truck flipped, or in some other fashion.<\/p>\n

Jim<\/strong> (Eion Bailey<\/a>) and Kenny<\/strong> (Ricky He<\/a>) return from their expedition into the forest with arms full of food. They failed to locate Jim’s wife, but did find patches of cabbage and potatoes growing next to a lake, solving the towns food supply problem at least in an immediate sense. A light snowfall happens later in the day, but the weather doesn’t seem cold enough to seriously damage the newly located cabbage patches. <\/p>\n

\"Hannah<\/a>

Julie Matthews<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

In a memorable speech interrupted by Jim’s occasional attempts to respond (omitted here) Julie<\/strong> (Hannah Cheramy<\/a>) reveals what might be the reason the Matthews family is where they are. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”<\/em> Julie says in exasperation. “Ethan almost died too. Did you know that? You should have been here, Dad. I can’t be like before. I can’t be the fill-in parent while you lose your shit. Mom is gone, okay, she’s gone. She went through a tree and now she’s gone. Dad, people can’t survive more than a few hours at night without a talisman. She’s been gone four days. I know you feel bad because you didn’t stop her, but I can’t…<\/em> [pauses to catch her breath] “When Thomas died, you and Mom fell apart and there was no one there for Ethan. I was 15. I can’t do it again. I can’t. Not this time. I need you to get your shit together, okay?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Sara<\/a>

Sara brings Tien Chien Liu’s favourite dress for her to be buried in.<\/p><\/div>\n

One gets the impression that Julie has missed enough of her teen years and wants to make sure she misses out on nothing else. A while later, she speaks to Sara, who is sitting outside alone. <\/p>\n

JULIE:<\/strong> “I just wanted to say thank you for what you did last night.”<\/em>
\nSARA:<\/strong> “You’re welcome.”<\/em>
\nJULIE:<\/strong> “Something happened to me a few days ago. I was…”<\/em>
\nSARA:<\/strong> “I heard. You Okay?”<\/em>
\nJULIE:<\/strong> ” Not really. I think this place has gotten into my head now, and I’m scared of what that might mean. I don’t want to hurt anybody. I don’t…”<\/em>
\nSARA:<\/strong> “It’s okay. You can say it.”<\/em>
\nJULIE:<\/strong> “I don’t want to end up like you.”<\/em>
\nSARA:<\/strong> “I wouldn’t either. If you ever want to talk…”<\/em>
\nJULIE:<\/strong> “Thanks.”<\/em><\/p>\n

What happened to Julie “a few days ago” was described in the final episodes of Season Two, and involved nightmares and cicadas. <\/p>\n

\"Pegah<\/a>

The impossibly pregnant Fatima<\/strong> develops an unusual craving for rotten vegetables.<\/p><\/div>\n

Right after the opening credits for “Long Days Journey Into Night<\/a>” (the very first episode of FROM) Julie told Ethan<\/strong> (Simon Webster<\/a>) a story in which a fictional character named Norman is killed by monsters. This upset Ethan, and Tabitha<\/strong> (Catalina Sandino Moreno<\/a>) reassured the boy that there are no monsters, and that Norman was still alive. Then they encounter the fallen tree<\/em><\/a>, and shortly after that Jade’s car runs them off the road. <\/p>\n

Sara’s troubles began soon after the arrival of the Matthews family.<\/p>\n

Maine is a Joy in the Summer<\/u><\/center><\/b><\/p>\n

Tabitha, who is still in Camden, Maine<\/em>, manages to convince Victor’s father Henry<\/strong> (Robert Joy<\/a>) that she’s telling the truth and his son Victor is still alive. Henry explains that he and his wife Marilyn dropped acid on his 35th birthday. That was when Marilyn started hearing voices and seeing things. Soon after that, his family disappeared. “She painted everything she saw,”<\/em> he explains. “She said it was a place. It was everywhere, but you couldn’t find it if you tried. Somewhere you could stumble into from anywhere, but never find a way to leave.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

“It all sounded like riddles, gibberish,” continued Henry. “She said that of all the people that would find their way to this place, she was the one who was chosen to free the children, but she wasn’t the first. Others had been chosen before her…None of them had ever set the children free, and none of them had ever gone home. So if you’ve seen the children, If they’ve called to you, then i guess you’ve been chosen now too.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

\"Eion<\/a>

Jim gets an unexpected phone call<\/p><\/div>\n

Marilyn painted many things, including the Boy in White<\/em><\/a>, Colony House<\/em><\/a>, a lighthouse<\/a>., and a union soldier<\/a> from the American civil war. (Boyd has seen both Union and Confederate soldiers in the woods.)<\/p>\n

At the end of things, Jim gets a phone call from his deceased son Thomas (whose voice on the phone sounds much older than he ought to be). The names Tabitha and Thomas both have their origins in Aramaic<\/a>. Tabitha means “graceful”, In Acts 9:36-43<\/a>, a woman named Tabitha, who was known for her kindness and charity, dies and is raised from the dead by Peter. Thomas means “twin”.<\/p>\n
