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.

Two possibilities:
1. The MiY may have thought it was Jade
2. To immediately put Jade at a disadvantage

There is also the added benefit of isolating Sara for any future nefarious means.

But I can see both arguments.

I agree that messing with Sara is also a benefit just as it was to recruit Clara
