Warning: There are spoilers ahead for From season 4, episode 7, "Best Laid Plans."From star Robert Joy clarifies what is happening with Henry Kavanaugh's visions.

During season 4, episode 7, Henry begins having visions of himself in a hospital. In the first vision, he hears beeping and is hooked up to a vital signs monitor as a light is shined into his eyes. The second one has him waking up in a hospital bed, as a doctor shines a light into his eyes, and he is visited by his son, Victor Kavanaugh (Scott McCord), who is wearing a suit and tie and seems like an entirely different person than the individual in the Township.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Tatiana Hullender for From season 4, episode 7, Joy was asked about the revelation of Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) being a reincarnation of Miranda (Sarah Booth) and Henry's reaction to it. The actor explains that Henry's reaction is "worse" because Sophia (Julia Doyle) "has already changed his brain" with the visions and is using them to manipulate him. Check out Joy's comments below:

It's worse because Sophia has changed his brain. Sophia has already changed his brain to make the trauma of knowing that his wife was eaten by the Man in Yellow almost impossible to process, and yet he's trying to get back to caring for his son. He knows he's let his son down, and he wants to reconnect and start the healing again, but then this comes up about Tabitha being Miranda, and he's not accepting it.

I don't think he has room for it in his emotional core, because that's a bridge too far. It's impossible to prove, and it's impossible to process, so he says, "I want none of it. I don't want Boyd undercutting me by telling everybody before I have a chance to even talk to my son about it." I mean, here I am trying to reconnect with my son, and this whole other story that's so outrageous comes at me. I just want to push it away!

From season 4, episode 6 sees the Man in Yellow (Douglas E. Hughes), while disguised as Sophia, putting his blood into Henry's drink, which he consumes. Now, Joy confirms that the blood has changed Henry's brain, making it "almost impossible to process" what happened to Miranda and how Tabitha is a reincarnation of her.

Instead of trying to wrap his mind around these revelations, he is seemingly being offered the false and simpler alternate reality that he is a patient in a hospital suffering from delusions. This alternative including a different version of Victor makes it even more difficult for Henry to differentiate between what is real and what is a manipulation, as his adult son exists in both worlds that he is experiencing.

Joy's remark that Henry "just want[s] to push it away" in regard to the Tabitha reveal makes the visions even more dangerous. They provide a way for him to push this reality further away and sink deeper into the more comforting one he has been presented with, where From's nocturnal monsters and the Township that keeps the residents trapped do not seem to exist.

The visions are also coming at a particularly bad time, as Henry was making progress reconnecting with Victor, but he is struggling after finding the Man in Yellow's suit in the woods and after learning the truth about Tabitha. Victor is now worried that history will repeat itself and everyone but Ethan Matthews (Simon Webster) will die. Meanwhile, Henry is too consumed by the visions to be there for his son as he's going through this.

In From season 4, episode 1, the Man in Yellow shares that this is his favorite part, when the residents turn on each other and tear themselves apart. Giving Henry the visions appears to be part of this endgame, with his trauma being weaponized for nefarious purposes. The focus right now is on the plan to go into the caves and retrieve the dead children's bones, but the characters cannot afford to overlook what is happening with Henry and the disastrous effects it could have on everyone.

From season 4 releases new episodes on Sundays on MGM+.
