FROM season 4 episode 2 spoilers: How will Boyd survive?
As we do our best to prepare for FROM season 4 episode 2 over on MGM+, it feels clear to say one thing on Boyd: He is on the brink of collapse. Also, we understand. This is a man who has watched people die in front of him and in the premiere, he reckons with the idea that his greatest victory amounted to nothing. Smiley is back!
We do not think we need to tell anyone that Harold Perrineau is one of the greatest actors of our generation, but watching him break down in the premiere? Devastating. It feels like he is out of options and yet, he has to figure out how to be strong. So many people, as it was explained to him, look to him to be that person.

Speaking to TV Insider, here is how Perrineau explained his character’s dilemma heading into episode 2:
“Boyd feels like he needs a certain amount of control, and there is no more control. There’s nothing he can control anymore. And so the last thing he gets is to decide how we get out of here, and [he’s] going to decide with everybody. And it’s a crazy choice to make, but it’s a crazy town, so I can’t blame him for making that choice, but it feels like in the moment, it feels like the right choice.”
Ultimately, this is a question that could define at least part of the story: If everyone is doomed, what is the proper way to say goodbye? Our hope, of course, is that this line of thinking is not permanent. After all, Jade and Tabitha hold some of the clues as to the way to get out — it involves the children, but it will also mean facing the truth that they have lived many lives before in this community. That is a hard thing to grasp mentally — that much is clear.
