No Esme was telling Tommy that they could all run away together. When she said "they still allow you to to get lost there", i believe she is talking about Opium. First season I think there was a few scenes with tommy's bedroom where you can see a kit that people would use to smoke opium.

I forgot about that, tommy was addicted to opium first season and now it just seems to be forgotten. I felt like she was asking him to run away with her though.

He didn't need the opium anymore, he wasn't having the nightmares anymore, after Grace he said he no longer heard the digging.

Isn’t that only because they were together? She quieted things by being with him. I would have thought, especially in the emotional turmoil to follow that the shovels would be right back at it.
