***The following is a detailed recap of the season three finale of FROM, “Revelations: Chapter Two,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***
Tonight, FROM closed out the third season as promised answering big questions. The episode was fast-paced but also left a lot of time for emotional character scenes.
The search for Fatima is of course the main part of the story. I was glad that Ellis picked up on Elgin’s deception right away. I still wonder though that Elgin, since he does seem to be such a nice guy, didn’t at all question what he was doing or that it could hurt Fatima. At least Sara didn’t want to kill Ethan, regardless that she tried to. Elgin almost seems to be under a spell.
I was really surprised that Boyd went through with torturing Elgin to find out Fatima’s location. I appreciated that Father Khatri showed up to attempt to get him to think it through, regardless of whether he’s actually in Boyd’s mind or not. I’m honestly not sure if Boyd can come back after this. He really in my opinion crossed a line and is completely unraveling. What surprised me more though was that so many people stood by and let it happen, especially Kenny and Donna. I expected them to try to stop Boyd. Regardless, the scenes were very powerful and I found it almost hard to watch, because Harold Perrineau is so brilliantly scary in the scenes. In this instance, when Acosta (Dani!) comes into Colony House, she is the voice of reason, and I think it’s also super important that she stands up to Boyd when no one else does. In the end though I loved that Sara took over and what she said to Elgin. She really believes it’s too late for her, and I do believe she really was trying to protect Boyd. I also enjoyed the previous foreshadowing of what she did to Elgin. As soon as she picked up the screwdriver, I remembered Jade’s vision of the man with the railroad spike through his eye and knew that’s where it was going. So many things in this town are cyclical. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that something similar happened to him in the past.
