Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Season 3, Episode 9, “Revelations: Chapter One.”
Of Season 3, Episode 9, ‘Revelations: Chapter One’ shows ‘Thomas’ continuing to call Jim Matthews (Eion Bailey). Thomas was Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Jim’s third child, who tragically died when he rolled off the changing table while his parents were briefly distracted. His death tore the Matthews family apart and even led Jim and Tabitha to prepare for divorce after taking one last family trip with their children, Julie (Hannah Cheramy) and Ethan (Simon Webster). It is during this trip that the Matthews family ends up trapped in the City with the rest of Ofcharacters.
Thomas’ memory continues to haunt the Matthews family, especially in season 3. A voice claiming to be Thomas repeatedly called Jimwho also spoke to Ethan. When Jim tells the voice to leave his kids alone Of season 3, episode 4, “Thomas” says: “They are no longer your children.” As Jim and Ethan search for Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori) before night falls and OfThomas’ monsters appear in episode 9, the voice of “Thomas” returns.
The town is still using Thomas’ memory to manipulate Jim and the Matthews family
“Thomas” to ruin a positive moment
During the search for Fatima, Jim takes Ethan inside the crashed trailer they drove into the city in the first episode. Jim has a touching moment with Ethan where he helps his son see that what happened to Julie when she went to the ruins wasn’t his fault. “Thomas” tries to hijack this father-son moment as his voice crackles over the radio and talks to Jim, but with Ethan’s encouragement, he manages to walk away without interacting with the voice.
Just as the town tried to break Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau) for the monsters who brutally murdered Tian-Chen Liu (Elizabeh Moy), the city is trying to break up the Matthews family by manipulating their guilt and trauma associated with Thomas’ death. Jim’s earlier hopelessness and Thomas’s use of criticizing Tabitha during Of Season 3 Episode 6 made it seem like this strategy was working. However, the fact that Jim and Ethan are now able to walk away and not get involved proves that this strategy may no longer be an effective way to break them.
‘Thomas’ calling the radio means Jim and Ethan can never escape him
The city is determined to use Thomas against the Matthews family
Although “Thomas” is no longer as effective at breaking Jim and Ethan, the entity behind his voice doesn’t seem like it will stop trying to break them. Even when Jim and Ethan leave the trailer, “Thomas” laughs and says: “Father!” It may be a while before “Thomas’s” voice resurfaces, but it will likely happen again, and at a time when Jim, Ethan, Tabitha or Julie are vulnerable. Somehow, it seems the town is determined that the Matthews family will never escape the trauma of Thomas’ death.
Since Thomas didn’t die in town, it may not be possible for him to manifest himself visually, meaning he can only haunt the Matthews family through his voice. Of.
Instead of your voice, ‘Thomas’ Could Haunt the Matthews Family in a Seemingly Physical Way. This could be similar to Boyd’s late wife Abby (Lisa Ryder) appearing before him or Boyd seeing Father Khatri (Shaun Majumder) after his death. However, Abby and Father Khatri died in the city, and since Thomas didn’t die in the city, it may not be possible for him to manifest himself visually, meaning he can only haunt the Matthews family through voice.
