Stars Scott McCord & Robert Joy Break Down the Emotional Fallout of FROM's Latest Twists

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.

FROM "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" Recap: Sophia Makes her Move

***The following is a detailed recap of episode 406 of FROM, “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***

FROMBoyd questions that Jade wants to go down into the tunnels where the monsters live because he thinks it will get everyone killed, all because he thinks the bones of the children are buried there. Jade tells him that they knew this was going to be an “out of the box swing” but asks why he had him even do it if he’s going to reject everything he found because it was during the trip. Boyd questions that, even if they put that aside and the bones are down there, how it’s going to get them home. Jade isn’t sure yet, but he tells him that there are examples of cultures and religions in history that hold the remains of the deceased in great reverence. The nightmare they are stuck in was built on a sacrifice. He suggests that the bones could be what anchors the spirits of the children there and asks if he’s ever wondered why the creatures never come out of the tunnels during the day. They could be protecting the very thing that makes the town possible. Boyd still is worried they will get everyone killed, but Jade says they won’t if they do it right, however, he expected Boyd to come up with the actual plan. Boyd says that he knows what is in Jade’s head may end up important, but that from his perspective, he wants him to help plan a suicide mission because of things he found on a mushroom trip. Jade questions what he has to do to prove it’s real and then mentions the door. He was never in the basement of Colony House and would have no way of knowing what is down there. He asks if if he is able to find the door if he would at least consider what he is telling him about the bones is true. Boyd says it would be a good start.

Acosta is looking at the Viewmaster. She asks Boyd when he comes down with Jade why it was fun for his generation, and he tells her they didn’t have phones. She says it’s like social media from the Stone Age. Jade says that it is the same basement he saw but more organized. Boyd tells him they are trying to build a narrative for the people who came before them to see if they missed anything. Acosta tells Jade that Boyd is just trying to keep her busy because he knows she wants to kill herself.
