The mules are what they are. They’re not based on kelpies.

As with many things in our non-linear style of storytelling, you hear references to things that happened in parts of our world that haven't been told or seen by us just yet. Also, with as long as Jack has been around, and the fact that Tobias Underwood is descended from folks with healing gifts, and The Boy's seeming unawareness of the passing of time, what makes you think Tobias is the Underwood boy in question ;-).

I know he helped Franklin Moses. But that was one person and definitely not a child

The boy mentioned “the Underwood boy“ as saving two lives by laying on hands. Is that Tobias? Can someone point to the episode when that happened?
