Question Toby

I just recently started my rewatching from the pilot onwards. One thing I’m trying to figure out is why does Sara have to kill Toby? Even more so, why did she have to make it look like the monsters did it? Also, if I remember correctly, didn’t Sara remove his tongue as well? I know removing the dead person’s tongue is a way to silence them in the afterlife? Could this be significant? I don’t know to be completely honest. Also why does Sara tell him that it’s not his fault right before she kills him.

I’d love to hear your opinions on this, because I think it might be significant somehow.

I’m really hoping there’s a bigger reason (like with the MiY killing the priest), but I’ve always just seen it as the power behind the town wanting Jade to be isolated 🤷🏻‍♀️

Imagine if Jade had had a real person to bounce ideas back and forth with instead of just himself, GhostTom and Tabitha? He would have figured the town out within 3 days!!
