Alright, FROMily, let’s dive into this rollercoaster of an episode. FROM Season 3 Episode 5 left us with more than just chills—it hit us with some hard truths, strange connections, and that gut-punch of a moment. And can we talk about Scott McCord and his portrayal of Victor this episode? This man went from zero to “I’ve got more baggage than an airport terminal” real quick. This episode really dialed up the tension and threw us headfirst into the heart of the mess.
Boyd vs. The World… Again
Poor Boyd (Harold Perrineau), man. Every time this guy takes two steps forward, it feels like he’s shoved five steps back. He’s got the town hanging on by a thread, and just when he tries to lay down the law, Dale steps up to mess it all up—literally. Dale tried to escape using one of the farway trees, and well, let’s just say that didn’t end well. Dude ended up fused into a wall. Not a great look for someone trying to make a getaway.
Boyd’s frustration is reaching new heights. Not only is he dealing with Dale’s poor life choices, but he’s also got a whole town losing hope faster than a fast-food burger gets cold. The psychological warfare is real, and these monsters aren’t even breaking a sweat. They’re playing chess, while Boyd’s stuck playing checkers—blindfolded.
Randall’s Survival – Coincidence or Targeted?
Now let’s talk about Randall. First off, this man got sliced up and left on the hood of the ambulance like some weird monster message. Yet, he’s still alive, and that makes me think: are these monsters keeping him alive for a reason? There’s some creepy pattern at play here, and it’s got me wondering if Randall’s been marked for something bigger. Maybe these monsters are keeping him alive to get inside Boyd’s head—like a walking reminder of what can happen if they stop playing nice.
Tabitha and Jade: The Dynamic Duo We Didn’t Know We Needed
Tabitha and Jade had a major moment this episode, teaming up to investigate the mysterious bottle tree. And let me tell you, this whole thing with the bottle tree and farway trees is getting weirder by the second. Jade’s skeptical, as always, but that man’s mind is racing faster than a squirrel in a peanut factory. He’s out here trying to figure out if those bottles hold the key to some deep mystery. But the real kicker? Dale shows up, all cocky and determined, only to make a one-way trip to nowhere, thanks to the farway tree. One minute he’s standing there; the next, he’s embedded in the wall like some kind of macabre art piece. RIP, Dale.
Victor – The Man, The Myth, The Mystery
Scott McCord as Victor is giving us some real emotional depth this season. This episode hit hard when Victor was confronted with some major trauma from his past. And if you weren’t in your feelings when he had that breakdown, you might need to check your pulse. He’s finally remembering the day everyone died, and you can see it’s eating him up inside. For the longest time, Victor’s been painted as the creepy dude in the corner, but now? Now we’re seeing just how broken he really is. And it’s tragic.
Final Thoughts on Episode 5
FROM Season 3 Episode 5 brought the tension, the mystery, and a whole lot of emotional baggage. Boyd’s on the verge of cracking, the town’s morale is in the toilet, and Victor’s battling his own demons. Every corner of this town is packed with hopelessness, and it feels like the monsters are feeding on it. I don’t know what’s going to happen next, but I do know this: whatever hope the townsfolk have left? It’s dangling by a thread, and if Boyd cracks, the whole town’s going down with him.

Summary
Check out our review of FROM Season 3 Episode 5, where Boyd struggles to keep the town together, Victor faces his past, and Dale makes a deadly mistake. Featuring Scott McCord and Harold Perrineau.
Pros
- Scott McCord’s performance as Victor was nothing short of amazing. Heartbreaking and raw.
- Dale’s poetic justice with the farway tree was an eerie, darkly satisfying moment.
- The tension between Boyd and the town continues to escalate in a believable, engaging way.
Cons
- Some of the side plots felt a bit slower-paced, pulling away from the high-stakes action.
- Randall’s survival is intriguing, but it raises more questions than answers (and not in a fun way).
- The episode leaves us with too many open-ended questions, which can be a little frustrating.
