There's some sad news for fans of From Season 4 because we're met with an unexpected pause this weekend.

That's right, after five straight weeks of absolute mayhem, creepy visions, and nightmare fuel from the Township, MGM+ has decided not to air Episode 6 on Sunday, May 24.

Yes, sadly, Episode 6 has been delayed by one week, and with that, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, will now be dropped on May 31 at 9 pm ET instead.

The break comes in right after one of the wildest episodes we've watched on the show, which honestly makes the wait even more stressful.

Episode 5 dropped major reveals about Jade, the children, and the town’s past cycles while also incorporating those living dolls into the story.

We were all ready to dive right into the fallout of From Season 4 Episode 6, but MGM+ has decided to take a short mid-season break before the second half of the season could begin.


From Season 4 picked the worst possible time to take a break after Episode 5, here's why

The delay for From Season 4 is not due to production problems or anything going wrong behind the scenes. MGM+ has simply decided to take up a one-week pause before kicking off the next half of the season.

The break also lines up with Memorial Day weekend in the U.S, which usually affects TV viewership because people tend to travel during the holiday.

Still, the frustration makes sense because Episode 5 ended with way too many loose ends to not think about.

In From Season 4 Episode 5, Jade happened to see past versions of himself, learned that earlier townspeople killed him during the previous cycles, and he also came out convinced he finally knows how to save the children.

At the same time, the lake settlement? Pure horror, to say the least. Tabitha, Donna, Ellis, Patty, and Roger thought they were pulling out bodies from the water, only to find extremely creepy scarecrow dolls instead.

Then, to make things 10 times worse, the dolls came alive at night and attacked the cabin. Roger’s death was pretty brutal, and the attack made the town feel even more dangerous than ever before.


Jade’s visions, the doll attack, and Boyd’s doubts will drive Episode 6

From Season 4 Episode 6 surely has a lot to deal with when the show returns back on May 31. The biggest arc to deal with right now is the story between Boyd and Jade.

Jade completely believes his visions gave him answers about the town and the sacrificed children, but Boyd is still pretty unsure if any of it can actually be trusted.

The attack at the settlement will also have major consequences once everyone gets back to town. Donna had barely survived, Patty was literally almost killed, and those dolls are still out there somewhere.

After everything that has happened in Episode 5, it is completely obvious that the Township is reacting violently whenever people get too close to the truth.

Then, there are also other smaller arcs that have become quite important.

One of these arcs in From Season 4 consists of Henry going into a spiral after finding out about what happened to Miranda. Another such arc deals with Marielle hearing voices connected to dead townspeople, which is another rather unsettling thing that could become a much bigger deal later.

With only five episodes left after the break, the second half of Season 4 should start pulling more pieces together while making the town even scarier.
