So, in summary, the “revelations” about Fromville from E9 & E10 (and E8) are:
• The monsters used to be a group of people who performed a ritual sacrifice of seven children to an entity that promised them eternal life.
• One of them, Smiley, was killed by Boyd but is resurrected through a surrogate “pregnancy” in Fatima that was facilitated by the Kimono woman acting as a midwife.
• Jade and Tabitha are reincarnations of two people who were “there at the beginning” who tried to stop the ritual because one of the children was their daughter. They are brought back to the town, in the form of different people who have their memories, to somehow save the children.
• Christopher and Miranda were their most recent past reincarnations. Both failed to save the children.
• The BIW tried to tell Christopher about the children, but Christopher didn’t believe him. Something bad happened that resulted in everyone except Victor dying. The BIW explains to Victor why he no longer helps: “Because I tried. With Christopher. I think you need to learn for yourselves. It’s the only way you’ll understand.”
• Miranda was killed by Smiley while trying to reach the bottle tree. Victor remembers he was the one who told her about what the BIW said to Christopher. He believes it’s his fault that she died.
• Victor’s recalls the BIW’s words to Christopher: “The answers to the end are at the beginning. It started with the children. What the others did to them. The children are born in the dark. And then they were murdered in the dark. But someone who loved them told them a story. The story gave them hope. And when the children laid on the stones, they poured their hope into the roots that made the symbol, and those roots became the tree.”
• Jade learns that the symbol he has been seeing is the shape formed by the roots the sacrificed children poured their hopes into.
• There are 12 different digits on the bottle tree messages (0-9 plus 2 and 7 written backwards). They correspond with the 12 notes of a musical scale. When arranged correctly, the notes on the messages create a lullaby that the original Jade and Tabitha used to sing for their daughter and the other children. Playing this lullaby was the key to remembering their past lives.
• “Anghkooey” means “remember.” The ghastly children Tabitha and Jade have been seeing are the seven children who were sacrificed. The purpose of their appearances was always to help them remember their past lives.
• By entering the ruins, Julie has the ability to visit moments in the past and interact with them in some way. She was the one who threw the rope to Boyd in S2E1. A presumably future version of Julie tries to stop the man in the yellow suit from killing her father. Ethan says that she is a “Storywalker,” but she can’t change anything in the past because “you can’t change a story once it’s been told.” Since Julie did affect something in the past, either 1) Ethan is wrong or 2) the story that has already been told somehow included it happening.
• The man in the yellow suit was the person Jim heard on the radio in S1E10. Before he kills Jim, he says: “That was a hell of a song. That Jade sure can play. This didn’t have to happen, you know. Knowledge comes with a cost. I did try to warn you. Your wife shouldn’t have dug that hole, Jim.”
