FROM "If a Tree Falls in the Forest..." Recap: The Beginning of the End
***The following contains spoilers for 4x10, the season finale***
Jade and Tabitha put the bones of the children in their bags, the creatures watching them through the plastic, as up above they wait for a signal.
Boyd tells the others to get the rope ladder ready, that the chamber becomes vulnerable as soon as the tree starts to give. Kristi asks what plan B is if they can’t pull the tree out, but he tells her there is no plan B.
Tabitha says they should signal them to pull the tree, but Jade says no. She needs to be ready to go the moment the rope ladder drops with the bones. She questions this and says the bones have to go up last, because they are the only thing protecting the chamber. He admits that he lied and there is nothing protecting the chamber once the tree is out; the bones won’t stop them. If Boyd realized it wasn’t safe, he would have scrubbed the whole thing, and he couldn’t let that happen; she needs to break the cycle. He promises her to slow them down long enough for her to get up; her children deserve to go home. Upset, she tells him not to do it, and he just says that if he had to spend all those lifetimes with anyone, he’s glad it was her.
Up above they hear the signal on the radio and Boyd says to start the truck. The tree is shown pulled up from both perspectives. When they start to pull it, the nightmare creatures come through the plastic, it no longer protecting them. Tabitha picks up the bag of bones, but they don’t go for the talisman. Cowboy says it’s nice all of them being together again. As the tree comes out, sunlight comes down into the chamber, and the monsters, though still human, back up, and Jade and Tabitha realize they can’t come into the middle of the chamber into the light.

FROM "The Calm Before" Recap: Built on Ritual
***The following is a detailed recap of episode 409 of FROM, “The Calm Before,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***
Tabitha, upset, is telling Boyd that the Man in Yellow was in her house, even with the talisman, in the middle of the day. She knows, because he took Ethan’s drawings. She says he told her he killed Jim. Jade comes in saying that he knows Boyd wants to protect everyone and keep them safe, and he does too, which is why he’s decided that he is going to be the one going down into the tunnels. There is no perfect version of a plan, but it’s the best chance they have. Jade is surprised when Boyd agrees and says to walk him through it again. He tells him the man in the yellow suit is back. When the sun comes up he wants to be able to put shovels in the ground; they are getting the bones.
The Man in Yellow removes his suit and transforms back into Sophia then heads into town. She comes upon Elgin and Clara taking the flag down off the flagpole and questions what they are doing. Elgin tells her that Boyd told them to grab as much rope and chain as they could find. He tells her that people are going into the tunnels to dig up the bones, Jade, Kenny, and a couple of others he thinks. She says she hopes it works. He says they will be up all night making a rope ladder if she wants to come by. She says it sounds like fun. Clara says she is going to go check the shed, and Sophia asks if she can help and follows her. When out of earshot, she asks Clara if she knows who she really is and tells her to look closer. Sophia pulls down her glasses and her eyes turn black. Clara is scared. She asks if she remembers the bargain they made, because she needs her to do something for her.

***The following is a detailed recap of episode 408 of FROM, “Heavy is the Head,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***
At Colony House, Acosta questions if they are sure Roger is dead this time. Donna tells Boyd that Steve got banged up, and it would have been worse if not for Elgin. Patty says that he is the one who stabbed Roger. People are arguing and Donna tells them to take it outside. Boyd tells her she should be in bed, but she says they are just starting to realize talismans won’t protect them from everything and for him to work on figuring out how to get the bones without getting everyone killed. Sophia appears and asks if the totems from the settlement worked to hurt the monsters. Boyd says they didn’t, and she tells him that is too bad. Ellis asks his father and Donna to come upstairs. Acosta asks what to do with the body and Boyd says to burn it.
Fatima has told Ellis and now Boyd and Donna, what happened with Smiley and Kenny and that it’s like she was there seeing through his eyes. Boyd questions she thinks she is the reason it didn’t kill Kenny, and she says that she knows she is. She tells them that after she connected with him, she felt something go cold inside her. That morning she saw something which she shows them. Her stomach is covered in purplish veiny lines.
Ethan is drawing pictures of people he knows in the town when Tabitha comes in the bedroom. He says that Victor always says that the pictures remember so that when everyone dies and he is there by himself, he doesn’t want to forget anyone. She tells him that what happened to Victor was awful, but that doesn’t mean it will happen to him. Ethan says Victor said he needs to be prepared, so that is what he is doing.

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.***
Boyd 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.
