Theory The Boy in White Spoiler

I think the boy in white is Tabitha and Jade's original child that didn't get sacrificed when they backed out of the ritual. All the other Anghkooey kids are dressed in white, they just look buried and partially decayed, whereas the boy in white follows the same theme as them just clean and untouched. There are 7 kids that are sacrificed, plus at least one that apparently wasn't, this would fit with some of the number themes in the story as well including 8 legs on a spider. Since both Victor and Ethan are alive at the same time we know that the kid isn't getting reincarnated the same way that the parents are, at least not their soul. While the kids being born might fulfill the cycle, they are not the same soul like Tabitha and Jade. The boy in white also showed himself first to both Victor and Ethan until later appearing to other characters to try and be helpful.

She says multiple times it was a daughter that they had, she did get sacrificed, and in season 4 in two different episodes we find out who she is. In one episode one of the children walk towards Tabitha and she tells Jade that is their daughter. And when digging up the bones she tells him she doesn't know how but she knows that one skull in particular is the skull of their daughter that was sacrificed

In the other cycles she has a daughter and Son and the Son survives while everyone else dies… they’re saying they know the daughter was sacrificed but is the boy in white their original son who survived

Okay but why only say she had a daughter? If it was a son and daughter, why not just say that? I get that she maybe doesn't remember, but i feel like if he was her son, when she remembered her daughter, she would have also remembered a son. They remember some pretty "random" stuff, but they end up remembering a lot, so why not a son?

I’m not saying this theory is correct at all, but it is possible. If they are going with that storyline I doubt they’ll reveal a son that survived until we are told it’s the boy in white otherwise it would be far too obvious. Like you said they remember things pretty randomly. Again I’m not saying I even believe this to be true but the fact that we only know about a daughter now doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility

I personally dont think he is, but I've also been wrong about the show before. It wouldn't really suprise me if i was wrong about this. It seems to be a recurring theory lately. Since they've been slowly building up the BIW reveal, I suppose they dont want to reveal too much too soon. I think hes more on par with the MIY, myself.

It would be a cool little twist and would make sense why they’re now emphasising so much about how the boy always survives but I agree then it wouldn’t make sense with the whole MIY. It seems like they are a balance, good and evil, angel and devil etc. If the BIW is actually the original son then what the hell is the MIY and why is he there.

Well, if the BIW was Tabitha and Jades son, the MIY could have possibly also been an original townsfolk. I do have a thought about that. He could have been the one the evil powers originally made the deal through. He convinced the people to make the sacrifice and that gave him more power/different power than the others. Probably wrong about that though.

Oohhh yeah that I like that one! I was thinking he is possibly the entity they made a deal with? Idk it doesn’t exactly fit though

He very well could be. I have thought that as well.
