By the time Jon wakes from the coma the end of Season 3 left him in, a disquietingly passive new normal has fallen over the institute. They were aligned with The Hunt, a primal force of determination and predation. This casket, shut in its chains and bearing the missive “DO NOT OPEN” intrudes into Joshua’s thoughts and he begins to walk in his sleep, waking in front of the coffin with key in hand. Even deadly Elias, who is revealed by this point to have murdered Gertrude Robinson, takes a backseat in this race against time.
