The Crows In From Season 3: What's Going On?

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for From season 3, episode 4.

Since the first episode of From, crows have been a significant character. Crows were swooping overhead and perched on the fallen tree when the Matthews family first observed it lying in the middle of the road. Although the Matthews thought the sight was frightening, they were unaware of its significance—that they were now confined in a town from which they were unable to flee, where From's cunning and barbaric beasts terrorized the locals every night.

Following the advent of the Matthews family in season 1, the crows were almost ignored as the characters in From struggled with the creatures and unsettling hallucinations that may murder them. In season 3, such is no longer the case, as the crows have regained their prominence and are featured in some of the most memorable scenes to date. Since the Town retaliates against its citizens for resisting and for Boyd's (Harold Perrineau) destroying the music box in season 2, the crows have a part to play.

Crows in Season 3 Appear to Be Alerting the Locals to Negative Omens

In From season 3, episode 3, a crow flies into a window in Colony House, smashes it, and then dies seconds later while Tillie (Deborah Grover) reads a tarot card for Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori). This happens right before Tillie is going to unveil a card pertaining to Fatima's child. The crow's death is interpreted as a sign that Fatima is not expecting a typical human kid, in addition to the fact that she had consumed rotting crops and drunk blood from a corpse. Additionally, the crow keeps Fatima from seeing the card, and the Town might divert her attention from the sinister reality.

When Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno), Victor's father, Henry (Robert Joy), the paramedics, and a police officer on the ambulance notice the fallen tree in the road while the crows caw and swarm around it, the crows continue to be warning signs of bad things to come. This time, the paramedics' deaths in episode 4, the police officer's murder of a citizen, and Tabitha's continued confinement to the town—though she at least gets to see her family again—are all foretold by the crows. The crows might possibly portend terrible things for Tabitha and Henry in the future.

The Odd Conduct of the Crows relates to Victor's Haunting from the Line About the Snow in Season 3, Episode 4.

In episode 4, Victor (Scott McCord) and Sara (Avery Konrad), two of From's best characters, discuss about how the Town is changing, which is never pleasant because changes typically bring about more destruction for the locals. One illustration of such alterations is the fact that the crows are now flying through windows in addition to crowding the fallen tree. Things in the town are becoming worse as a result of the crows' altered behavior, including the fact that the monsters are more cunning and vicious than ever in their murder of Tian-Chen (Elizabeth Moy).

More changes are occurring, like as the crows and creatures' shifting behaviors and the first snowfall in the town; sadly, these developments do not bode well for From's remaining characters.

The crows are symbolic, as they frequently represent change, in addition to being a part of the Town's actual changes. Given that the tarot cards are also metaphorical, this fits in nicely with the crow swooping into the window during the scene. More changes are occurring, like as the crows and creatures' shifting behaviors and the first snowfall in the town; sadly, these developments do not bode well for From's remaining characters.
