Christopher was talking to the boy in white, not Jasper
This changes the context of Victor’s memory
Victor spent much of season three trying to figure out what Jasper said to Christopher years ago. With the help of Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno), Victor realizes that this memory happened in the church basement and, when he goes there, he realizes that it was the Boy in White, not Jasper, who was talking to Christopher. This is similar, but not exactly the same, to one of the best Of theories from season 3 that suggested the Boy in White and Jasper are the same entity.
The Boy in White told Christopher that “the answers to the end are in the beginning” and that he needed to pass a distant tree. Victor also realizes that this is why his mother later passed by one of the distant trees, although her fate after doing so remains a mystery. Although it seems the Boy in White may be trying to help the residentsVictor also knows that it was after this interaction that Christopher took a dark turn, for which the Boy in White may be responsible.

He will do anything for his family
Although Fátima murdered another resident, Boyd is still determined to protect her. He hides her in the woods while he and his son, Ellis (Corteon Moore), decide what to do next. Fátima is not just another resident, but is Boyd’s daughter-in-law. Boyd has already lost his wife, Abby (Lisa Ryder), because of how the town and its supernatural forces took over her, and he refuses to see the same thing happen, and to see Fatima suffer a similar fate.
While Kenny Liu (Ricky He) and Acosta (Samantha Brown) question the other residents and investigate Tillie’s death, Boyd pretends not to know what really happened. The situation of Fatima is making it increasingly difficult for Boyd to balance protecting his family while also protecting all of the county’s residents.

After all, Fátima is pregnant
Elgin is strangely invested in her pregnancy
According to the ultrasound in Of Season 3, Episode 6, Fátima is not pregnant. However, Elgin confirms otherwise when he tells Fátima that she is pregnant, even though the baby is not hers. Elgin takes his own blood so that Fatima can drink it, lures her to the cellar and forces her to stay there when she tries to escape. As Elgin is receiving instructions and trying to help the skeletal woman in the kimono, it appears that Fatima may be carrying her baby.
Fatima being Forced to carry and give birth to a baby against their will is one of the Ofthe darkest stories of all time. It’s also chilling to see the normally gentle Elgin making Fatima suffer, and although he believes he’s doing the right thing, he’s being manipulated by the woman in the kimono. She told Elgin that she could help save him and his friends, and he may have the mistaken belief that this promise will be honored if he ensures the safe delivery of her baby.
