SciFi Vision - Where Fiction and Reality Meet

FROM Creatives on Clara’s Mole Reveal and the Show’s Organic Twists

***The following contains spoilers for 4x09***

FROMOn the penultimate episode of season four of FROM this weekend, it was revealed that Clara (Katerina Bakolias), who began as a background character, was, in fact, a mole. Sophia (Julia Doyle) came to Clara with black eyes, reminding her what she really is and of the deal they made, and now, she’s calling in the favor. Clara, both because she is scared, and in the hope of going home, helps Sophia by adding the entity’s blood to a drink she gives Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori) in hopes of speeding up whatever is currently happening to her.

SciFi Vision spoke to creator and executive producer John Griffin, showrunner and executive producer Jeff Pinkner, and executive producer and director Jack Bender about how long that storyline had been in the works. According to them, it came organically. “I will say that that evolved, and it evolved out of the best version of our three-legged stool creative process,” explained Bender.

“[O]ne of the wonderful things about the process and this show…is that sometimes people emerge in ways that were unexpected,” Griffin added. Bakolias really impressed them and over time evolved to be a bigger part of the series, and it led to using her when they needed a character to perform a specific function. “[A]s Clara became a more important part of the show, and as we realized, oh, you know what, we want the Man in Yellow to have an inside track in the town… and as we were discussing who this should be, one day I got a text from Jeff Pinkner saying, ‘Clara should be the mole!’”

When the sun comes up he wants to be able to put shovels in the ground; they are getting the bones.

The Man in Yellow removes his suit and transforms back into Sophia then heads into town. She comes upon Elgin and Clara taking the flag down off the flagpole and questions what they are doing. Elgin tells her that Boyd told them to grab as much rope and chain as they could find. He tells her that people are going into the tunnels to dig up the bones, Jade, Kenny, and a couple of others he thinks. She says she hopes it works. He says they will be up all night making a rope ladder if she wants to come by. She says it sounds like fun. Clara says she is going to go check the shed, and Sophia asks if she can help and follows her. When out of earshot, she asks Clara if she knows who she really is and tells her to look closer. Sophia pulls down her glasses and her eyes turn black. Clara is scared. She asks if she remembers the bargain they made, because she needs her to do something for her.

FROMOn the latest episode of FROM, Victor (Scott McCord) and his father, Henry (Robert Joy) are told by Boyd (Harold Perrineau) that Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) is the reincarnation of Miranda (Sarah Booth), Victor’s mother and Henry’s wife. The news causes Henry to continue to spiral, and with Sophia (Julia Doyle)’s interference, Henry is now seeings flashes of another reality where the town is just his dream during a coma, and he has a whole different life with Victor. Playing this “other” version of Victor was both exciting and terrifying, for McCord, who spoke with SciFi Vision last week. “I love the challenge,” he told the site, adding that the focus was to make it as real as possible. “Who is this guy? Everything about him. How does his heart beat? What's his life?...What is the story there? So, there was a lot of detailed work that helped get there.”

Joy, who was also part of the interview, talked about Henry’s mental state from what he’s seeing and how that life is attractive to Henry, because it gives him what he’s after. “What makes him really vulnerable here is that he, in From Town, wants to be the father, wants to be the caregiver, the protector, and then what he really needs is to be protected.” the actor explained, also saying that the question for him is whether there will be permanent damage to Henry after this.
