There is no shortage of speculation surroundingFrom, but one Julie Matthews theory could actually help explain a strange moment from season 2. Like any good mystery show,From’s complex nature means that with each new episode, more questions are introduced, while their answers are slowly revealed over time.
ByFromseason 3’s ending, there are more questions than ever. This includesTabitha Matthews and Jade Herrera’s reincarnationreveal and Boyd Stevens' discovery of the reborn Smiley monster. Julie’s story walking and how it connects to other events is still unclear, though one new theory suggests it’s more important than we currently know.
Julie Was The One Banging On The RV Back In From Season 2 – Theory Explained
Fromseason 3 introduced Julie Matthews' ability to story walk, a variation of time travel thatallows her to revisit various moments from the stories of other characters. This first occurs in season 3, episode 8, when Julie and Ethan return to the ruins where Julie, Marielle, and Randall were tortured, and she is transported away from her brother.
During this brief time, Julie interacts with several ofFrom’s other characters, though not in scenes that she was originally in. When she eventually returns to her own time and confides in Ethan what happened to her, he explains the ability, also sharing thatshe cannot change the past, she can only visit it.
It is this detail in Julie’s story that the newFromtheory stems from. It argues thatit was actually Julie, in one of her story walking adventures, who knocks on the RVduring the scene in which Jim, Randall, Donna, and Boyd are trapped in the crashed vehicle overnight (viaReddit).
When Julie appears at the end ofFromseason 3, she has a large scratch on her face, which could have happened while trying to escape from the monsters in the cave.
This moment came at a crucial point in season 2 when Randall was getting ever closer to breaking down, just before the trio lapses into their comas. The knocking was scary to those inside the RV, but the theory posits thatit was actually an accident on Julie’s part after attempting to escape from Fromville’s tunnels.
This could make sense, given that the previous time that she saw the cave system,she was utterly horrified and got lost trying to follow her mother and Victor. What’s more, when Julie appears at the end ofFromseason 3, she has a large scratch on her face, which could have happened while trying to escape from the monsters in the cave.
Julie Could End Up Being Responsible For Several Other Early From Mysteries
It Seems Likely Julie Unknowingly Played A Role In Some Strange Moments
Beyond Julie potentially being the source of the knocking on the RV in season 2, it seems probable thatshe could have also been responsible for other unexplained events inFromas well. In fact, season 3 confirmed it wasJulie who threw the rope to Boyd in season 2, solving one big mystery.
Likewise, several other theories similarly highlight Julie’s newfound ability as the answer to longstanding mysteries. These theories range from Julie being recognized by a monster despite just arriving in the town, toJulie being the real creator of the talismans, proving just how broad an application the skill could have.
Audiences also know from season 3’s ending that Julie with short hair appears just before Jim’s death, trying to change his story to help him survive. This moment both reaffirms Ethan’s words of advice to his sister and implies, due to her changed appearance, thatJulie remains in Fromville for a long time beyond season 3’s ending.
Even without being able to change the past, Julie does not yet know how other versions of herself impacted it.
Importantly, Ethan’s reveal that Julie will not be able to change the past with her story walking seems to come true sadly quickly, butthere could be numerous events that she doesn’t necessarily know she is involved in yet. Even without being able to change the past, Julie does not yet know how other versions of herself impacted it.
In general,Fromwould be better off using Julie’s story walking ability sparingly in season 4, asit could become repetitive if the series solved too many mysteries that way. With that being said, though, if the series does use Julie’s new talent in the right moments, it could create perfect big reveals.
The Man In Yellow Being The One Banging On The RV Would Make More Sense
The Man In Yellow Could Still Be The Real Answer
Julie’s ability to story walk was a huge addition toFromseason 3 and should return inFromseason 4to help further explain the show’s mysteries. While I do think the newFromtheory is correct about Julie’s involvement in several unexplained events in the show, it seems possible thatthe banging noise in season 2 could have actually been the Man in Yellow instead.
The knocking and how afraid Randall is what forces him out into the woods at night, leading to him ending up in a coma. This event and its unfortunate outcome make it feel more likely that the Man in Yellow made the noise, or at least ordered one ofFrom’s monsters to do it for him.
Every helpful discovery is countered by a worse foe, leading to the theory that the Man in Yellow is behind it all.
Especially given how much the noise was meant to scare the RV’s inhabitants, it seems like something he could have done. Though it is possible that Julie could have accidentally scared them by knocking,the Man in Yellow is known for creating chaos and fear, so it seems more likely that it was an insidious and intentional move by him.
Interestingly,Fromintroduced the Man in Yellow in the season 3 finale, when he appears to kill Jim, linking him to Julie and her story walking. Nothing inFrom’s universe is by chance. Every helpful discovery is countered by a worse foe, leading to the theory that the Man in Yellow is behind it all.
Given how often the seemingly unrelated stories inFromare connected, it is possible that Julie’s story walking is somehow either connected or in opposition to the Man in Yellow’s powers.

Whether this means that one or both of them played a role in the knocking, it’s possible that the moment unknowingly led Fromville’s residents to where they are now.
