Every Death Explained in From Season 3: The Losses That Changed the Township

Tian-Chen’s Final Act

Tian-Chen Liu was the first death of season 3. In episode 1, “Shatter,” the monsters targeted her after she and Boyd worked to recover the Township’s escaped animals and bring them to the barn.

Several monsters were waiting there. They restrained Tian-Chen and Boyd, then killed her as Boyd watched and tried to comfort her. Leaving him alive suggested that their torment was meant to hurt him emotionally as well as physically.

Tian-Chen had chosen to stay out at night to protect the animals, the community’s remaining food source after the crops spoiled. Her death devastated the Township, especially her son Kenny, who had already lost his father to the monsters.

A Loss Felt Across Town

Kenny was away in the forest with Jim when his mother was killed. The two had found healthy crops, offering hope that residents would have enough to eat, but Kenny returned to learn that Tian-Chen was dead.

Boyd, Kenny, Jade and other residents mourned her. Her decision to risk her life for the animals reflected her commitment to the community’s survival.

Two Paramedics Are Killed

In episode 3, Tabitha and Henry were involved in a car accident and placed in an ambulance with two paramedics. When the ambulance reached the Township, the paramedics approached a woman lying face down in the street, despite Tabitha’s warning.

The woman was a monster. When the paramedics turned her over, she slashed them, and they died from their wounds.
