According to the show writers, it's confirmed that most of the answers lie in s1 ep1. Besides Jim’s family and Jade arriving at Fromville at the same time, there is one major incident that happens right at the start: Frank getting drunk and not being able to make home before dark and his wife and daughter being killed by the monsters because of the window not being nailed shut.

I think this incident is heavily symbolic and foreshadows what actually happened in the original cycle with Jade and Tabitha and their daughter.

The next morning after Frank arrives back at the house, Boyd beats him and blames him for the death of his family. Mainly Boyd’s line about, “A man protects his family”, has really stuck with me. Because Frank is completely to blame for his family’s death and failed to protect them resulting in their gruesome death.

But it's an especially important detail on what happens after Frank’s family is dead. Boyd decides that he will be put in the box outside and will be left out to be eaten by the monsters. Indirectly, the town kills Frank for his failure to protect his family.

What if this is a symbolism for how maybe Jade failed Tabitha and their daughter? Maybe Jade made a huge mistake in the original cycle and the townspeople killed him because they thought he was responsible for everything that happened in the aftermath of the sacrifice?

This is also confirmed during Jade’s mushroom trip, where little Jade tells him that the townspeople blame you and then they kill you. Plus, in the last episode of s3 Jade even says that we failed to protect our daughter from IT.

Because if the answers lie in ep1, this scenario was the only one I could think of that was separate from the entire accident and Jim and Jade arriving at the same time.

Let me know what you clever people on this sub think about this. I may have forgotten a few things and this theory might surely have some plotholes in it, but it’s what i think

Donna is literally one of the main characters of the show and it's been 4.5 seasons, yet we literally know nothing about her. Except, that she had a sister that was ripped apart by monsters. There have been speculations recently on how she will probably die in the next episode but how is that possible? Even if it does happen, I don't think anybody even in the fromville knows where she's from. What do you guys think?
