What Dale's Death Means For From Season 3
The Town's Dangers Are Growing More Unpredictable
Dale is the second character in From who was introduced in season 1 that has died in season 3, the other being Tian-Chen (Elizabeth Moy) in the premiere. Although he often butted heads with other of Colony House, the belligerent resident was one of the most determined to get home. His decision to step through the Faraway Tree was a desperate attempt to bring help to the town, trying to replicate Tabitha's short stint outside. However, the plan backfired, leading to an event that will no doubt diminish everyone's hopes for escape.

The Matthews family gets another phone call from "Thomas" in From season 3, episode 4, which includes a haunting message about Julie and Ethan.
His death also confirms the Faraway Trees can now teleport residents anywhere in town, including getting them stuck inside different structures. While they seemed to have a connection to the Boy in White, who led various characters to use them in order to get to safety throughout the show, Dale's fate now makes them extremely dangerous. This adds to the horrifying events culminating in From season 3, including Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori) craving rotten food and blood during her pregnancy, and the monsters targeting Boyd (Perrineau) after he killed one of them in season 2.
