FROMOn the latest episode of FROM, Victor (Scott McCord) and his father, Henry (Robert Joy) are told by Boyd (Harold Perrineau) that Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) is the reincarnation of Miranda (Sarah Booth), Victor’s mother and Henry’s wife. The news causes Henry to continue to spiral, and with Sophia (Julia Doyle)’s interference, Henry is now seeings flashes of another reality where the town is just his dream during a coma, and he has a whole different life with Victor. Playing this “other” version of Victor was both exciting and terrifying, for McCord, who spoke with SciFi Vision last week. “I love the challenge,” he told the site, adding that the focus was to make it as real as possible. “Who is this guy? Everything about him. How does his heart beat? What's his life?...What is the story there? So, there was a lot of detailed work that helped get there.”

Joy, who was also part of the interview, talked about Henry’s mental state from what he’s seeing and how that life is attractive to Henry, because it gives him what he’s after. “What makes him really vulnerable here is that he, in From Town, wants to be the father, wants to be the caregiver, the protector, and then what he really needs is to be protected.” the actor explained, also saying that the question for him is whether there will be permanent damage to Henry after this.

Cheramy, who spoke with SciFi Vision last week, talked about the experience of filming that scene. “That was an insane day,” said the actress. “It was a big mix of like, prop bodies, but then we had actual people laying in the streets just soaked in blood.” Cheramy also really liked how they dressed the set. “I loved how much they changed the town, all of the little details…They changed a lot to make to show that it's the past.”

The actress also talked about Julie’s drive this season to help her father “Her faith is really questioned this season,” she explained. “…[S]he starts with this place [of] being so determined, but a lot of that comes from just like, she's in so much denial about the loss of her father that, to her, it's almost like he's not even dead.” The actress added that Julie doesn’t know how but thinks she will figure it out, even when everyone around her doesn’t think it’s possible.
