The citizens of from manage to break/revoke/refund the bargain that created Fromville in the first place. They dig up and remember the children thereby setting them free and removing their souls from the grasp of MIY. That means no payment, so the deal is off. No more immortality for the monsters and no more God like power for the MIY over fromville. Everyone can just leave. Game over.

But it all comes at a cost to the safety of our Fromville citizens. They're in danger of being killed or perhaps have already been killed. In any event, they're not SAFE.

So Boyd is offered a deal. A sacrifice for keeping everyone he loves safe. For keeping them alive...indefinitely....

In a show with such a compressed timeline, they should be able to fill the time better.

The foundational problem is too many characters who are too split off from one another. They really should have stuck with like 3 or 4 parallel plot lines but we've seen as many as 7 or 8. Each gets dilluted when you do that. Even now we've got:

- Donna's medical issue

- Fatima and her golem/pregnancy/etc issue

- Victor's Dad going nutso

- Jade's planning

- Tabitha's memories returning

- Whatever the PAWG in yellow is up to

- Ethan going through lonely autistic training

- Julie's Storywalking

Not to mention the glue characters that have their own struggles and motivations floating between those plot lines:

- Boyd

- Kenny

- Kristi

We also have characters the show isn't using to much effect now but cant entirely forget about because they still live in this little town so they have to pop up in scenes occasionally, further dilluting the whole experience:

- Sara

- Marielle

- Acosta

- Elgin

- Randal

Even 4 plot lines for a show that takes places in one little small town is pushing it. Game of thrones took place across an entire world.
