NOTICE! This article contains SPOILERS for Season 3, Episode 7!Tillie’s last words to Fatima include a chilling message telling her to run away, which could have some purposes in Of season 3. First being introduced in OfOf the set of characters in the Season 2 premiere, Tillie has strangely been a source of suspicion since arriving in town via bus. Tillie’s strange behavior has led many to believe there is something more sinister about her character.such as seeing the Kimono Woman from Elgin’s visions, sensing that Fatima was pregnant, convincing her to read tarot cards, supporting Fatima’s wishes, and generally appearing unbothered by Ofdark and distorted world.
While it seemed like viewers were simply waiting for the other shoe to drop with some shocking revelation about Tillie’s identity, that anticipation was interrupted by her shocking fate in Of Season 3, end of episode 7. As Fátima’s mysterious pregnancy becomes more serious and she is still unable to keep food down, Tillie enters the shed and tries to help her. However, anxiety, pain and The mental manipulations of this pregnancy overwhelm Fátima, leading her to stab Tillie in the chest with a pair of gardening shears.. As Tillie takes her last breath, she cryptically warns Fatima: “You have to run.”
Tillie doesn’t want Fátima to be caught by others for her murder
Tillie is trying to help save Fátima in her final moments
The most likely answer is that Tillie is telling Fátima to run away so she doesn’t get caught for her murder. Tillie understands that it wasn’t actually Fatima who killed her and that the rage of some supernatural force within her took over, so Tillie doesn’t want Fatima to be punished by the rest of the community for this. If Fatima and Ellis can run and hide somewhere before other people at Colony House realize what happened, then she can avoid being arrested and sentenced to severe punishment by Boyd.
However, other people trapped in Of they murdered others in the name of the city’s influence without facing extremely harsh punishments. For example, Sara, whom Victor called “scariest person in town”, killed some people, including her brother Nathan, after voices forced her to do so. Of course, Sara has now been ostracized by everyone in town except Victor, and Tillie certainly wouldn’t want Fatima to meet the same fate.
Could Tillie’s last words have a darker meaning in season three?
Suspicions about Tillie and her potential connection to the city may still be right
The blunt warning that Tillie gives Fátima may end up having a deeper meaning, potentially linked to the suspicions that many already had about her. When telling Fátima that she has to run away, Tillie could be warning her about some dark force that could come after her in retaliation for the murder.. If Tillie really was a “mole” to Ofmonsters, so their death could signal to some entity that Fatima should be killed in return. However, with Tillie growing closer to Fatima, she may be using what’s left of her humanity to try and rescue her.
In Of In season two, Randall proposed the theory that someone in town might actually be “in on” the chaos and trap, and that’s when suspicions about Tillie began to rise.
Regardless, darkness awaits Fátima in the remaining three episodes of Of season 3. Whether it’s in the form of punishment by her peers, revenge from the city’s evil forces, or an attack from all that’s within her, Fátima urgently needs to heed Tillie’s warning. Even though suspicions that Tillie had more sinister intentions were wrong, she, like many others in Ofis able to feel the darkness in this city and seems to have seen a horrible fate awaiting Fatima if she doesn’t flee.
New episodes of Of season 3 launches on Sundays on MGM+.
