SPEAKER_01 1:01

Of our lovely faces. Today we're going to be reviewing episode number seven of the final season of The Way Home, season number four. This episode is called Working My Way Back to You. It originally aired on the Hallmark channel on Sunday, May 31st, 2026. And you can catch up with The Way Home, the first three seasons on Netflix and the current season. And all the seasons, actually, on Hallmark Plus.

SPEAKER_02 1:32

I hope Netflix picks this show up. I would like it to continue. It's getting so good, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Yeah, it would be really cool if someone else picked it up and continue it. It'd be great for Netflix. Because I think they got a lot more viewers, you know, a lot more eyes on it, obviously, once it went to Netflix.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

So it has potential there. Come on, Netflix, pick it up. It does. I mean, we wanted to stay with homework, but you know, if it can't, then it is what it is, right?

SPEAKER_02 2:04

Yeah. Well, this episode was written by Marley Reed and directed by Michelle Latimere. Time to drop the synopsis.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

I guess. Do you think it is? All right, here we go. Some questions are answered for Elliot and Kat while others linger. Isn't that always the case? I know. Meanwhile, in the present, new choices arise for Alice as she evaluates her future.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

Hmm. Yeah, she's got some evaluating.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean, that's on the Homework Channels. That's directly from the Homework Channels. Uh or no, it's directly from Homework Plus. I'm sorry. Right. The episode description. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:44

It kind of fits. So we'll probably drop some spoilers because this is hard to talk about without doing that. So if you haven't seen this episode yet, I would suggest you pause our podcast, go watch it, come back, let us know what you think in the comments down below.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

There's no probably about it. We're definitely going to drop some spoilers. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

That's what I am jagging to beat. All right. Well, let's dive into it then.

SPEAKER_01 3:13

All right. So do we have a good grasp on where we ended up last time? Um Jacob and Abby decided that they could maybe talk and not be enemies. Even though one's a good one and one's a Landry, right?

SPEAKER_02 3:28

Yeah, that's a good thing. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 3:30

Max was really mean to Alice.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

What a jerk.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Yeah. Really disappointed in you, Max.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

You know, even though you may be disappointed in somebody, at least support them and don't make them feel like they're less of something. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Right. Right. He was very demeaning.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

He was. He was very demeaning.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

And then you have um the big reveal at the end, we find out that Tessa is running the entire gangster operation in 1925.

SPEAKER_02 4:04

She boss.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

She's the boss lady.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

And she had one of her henchmen, one of the um, well, I guess it would be Elliot's great-grandfather. Is that the one who ends up hitting him?

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

On the head and knocking him out. So he's knocked out. And then Tessa's the boss. Tessa's boss.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

And then you had Sam saving Dell, you know, bringing her back and getting her all straight again.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Was that the last episode? Or was that?

SPEAKER_02 4:31

No, it was the episode

Casey Tells Sam The Future

SPEAKER_02 4:33

prior, but it kind of comes back around in this episode. So I just thought I'd mention it.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Okay. All right. So this one starts off with a real bang. Real, real bang. Well done the way home. So yes. It starts off in 2024 in Port Haven. And Sam is um at the waterfront area playing chess.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

And Casey shows up. Casey shows up. Casey shows up. Says she's Casey Goodwin.

SPEAKER_04 5:08

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

She does her own introduction that way, which I thought was interesting. And he proceeds to ask Casey, you know, hey, how do you know my name? And how are you so good at chess? And Casey says she's learned from him. Or they have learned from him. I had to be careful with that this time.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Oh my goodness. I mean, what an eye-opener. Can you can you imagine sitting there and you're playing chest or whatever? And somebody comes up and says, Um, I know you from the future. I mean, how how would you react?

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Right. Right.

SPEAKER_02 5:45

So, but that was a very good reveal.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

Yeah, they actually do end up saying that, that they know Sam from the future and they know Dell also.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

And they also tell Sam a bunch of things about his life, like from his childhood.

SPEAKER_03 6:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

Like Casey is like, oh, you did this, you did this, and he's like, How do you know that?

SPEAKER_03 6:08

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

Which I thought was really interesting because now we know that Sam, this is kind of where Sam fits in, you know, and here we thought maybe he was a bad guy. And turns out, I don't think he's a bad guy.

SPEAKER_02 6:21

Well, he's knew he knew for what, two years that uh the pond was the pond. Right. Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

He's known he's known for a couple years what his future would end up being.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

Correct, based on what Casey told him at that time.

SPEAKER_03 6:38

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:39

And then the scene, the next scene does go to the present day, but we've talked about this um right before we did the episode, and this time jumps quite a bit.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

There's there's inf well, there's information, there's there's a lot of information, even if you know we're not in 1925 that much, there's a lot of information that we get out of 1925. Same thing with present day, same thing in 1979. So this episode, instead of going in chronological order, we're gonna talk about the time periods.

SPEAKER_03 7:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Right?

SPEAKER_03 7:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:14

But we wanted to get out of the gate with what happens at the very beginning because that is a very interesting, interesting reveal. Yep. Yeah, which I thought was actually really pretty great. Oh man. And well done. Yeah. All right, so where do we want to start? We want to start 1925.

SPEAKER_02 7:33

Yeah, let's go ahead and do it.

Tessa’s Power Play In 1925

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Okay, so we're in 1925, and as we just mentioned, um, Tessa, we find we just found out she's the boss lady. She has had the Augie boy hit Elliot over the head. But it starts out where they're at the Landry Farm. Tessa is there with Fern and Kat, and they're sitting at the table, the famous kitchen table.

SPEAKER_03 8:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

And Tessa basically is like, you know, her boss isn't gonna be happy. And, you know, Kat doesn't she cat really doesn't understand the trouble she's caused by injecting them, by her and Elliot injecting themselves into this timeline.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

And then Elliot comes downstairs, got a little bit of a headache. A little bit of a headache. He was knocked out.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Still confused.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

Yes. So, and then basically, you know, and Kat's kind of given it to Tessa.

SPEAKER_02 8:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

She's like, you know, your son, you know.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

Right. I mean, wouldn't you? I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Yeah, she's like, we came here to help you because we thought you were in trouble.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

Yeah. But here's Tessa saying, no, you screwed everything up.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

Yeah, you just messed it all up. But how are they to mess it all up? And then Fern kind of leans on the table and puts her hands on her head, like, oi, oi, oi.

SPEAKER_02 8:57

Yeah. Oh my gosh. I mean, can you believe it? She's like, oh my God, what is going on now? And I think she's kind of a little bit upset too.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

So oh yeah, she's upset for sure, which we get into in the next scene, right?

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Right. So Fern and Kat are on the porch, and I actually love this scene because they both kind of open up to each other, and Fern really, really loves Kat. You know, and she talks about how when she was little, they always thought the pond was their family's little secret. You know, but she's and she also loved uh Tessa.

SPEAKER_04 9:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

But now she's, you know, no one knew that Tessa was a time jumper, but we still don't know because we only thought that Landry's could jump. So we have that.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Well, we're making the presumption that she jumped with Griffin.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

Right.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

I think that's what everybody kind of thinks, and then she got stuck there.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

But we don't know that for sure yet. Right. But people are making that presumption.

SPEAKER_02 10:07

And and she also opens up about, you know, because Tessa was a fortune teller and always told people's fortunes and made a living off of it, now they know why. Because she was jumping from from place to place. Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

So she was so I guess the question is when she did jump again, was she able to jump on her own, or did she jump with a Landry?

SPEAKER_02 10:28

Right. Which would be And who was it? Would it be Griffin? Does she have Griffin held captive and she just uses him to jump?

SPEAKER_01 10:35

I don't think so. I don't think that's gonna be the case.

SPEAKER_02 10:38

No, probably not. I don't think so. But that would be kind of cool though.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Yeah, and then Fern in that moment says, you know, yeah, she always knew what books were gonna be a bestseller. I thought that was kind of funny. Yeah. Now she's realizing that's because Tessa did change.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

And it and it breaks her heart. It breaks Fern's heart.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

So Yeah, Fern's really coming to grips with the fact that Tessa wasn't who she thought she was. And she's known Tessa her whole life. And that's when she says, um, oh, did I write it down? That that she really looked up to Tessa because she was the only woman that Fern knew who didn't answer to any man. And Fern back in them days, that's what I'm saying. Well, in those times, yeah. You know, and Fern is like, I wanted the excitement. I, you know, I I enjoyed the, you know, I want the intrigue, I want the excitement, I want, and she just really admired Tessa for that.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

Right.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

But now she's coming to grips with the fact that uh Tessa lied by omission by not admitting what who she really was and what she was doing.

SPEAKER_02 11:44

Right. And we and we also find out why Tessa had disappeared for a little bit, and that's because she was taking acting lessons out of town.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

No, that was Fern.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

I mean Fern. I'm sorry. Yeah. Fern.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Yeah. So we find that out.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

So that was from the last episode. Right. That was when Kat couldn't, they couldn't find Fern. They couldn't find Fern.

SPEAKER_02 12:06

And they they were thinking the Augie boys that did something to her.

SPEAKER_01 12:09

Right, right. Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:10

Or Grayson did something to her.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:15

So then go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

No, you're good.

SPEAKER_02 12:19

So then we move on, you know, um Fern, she's you know, Fern and Cad. Kat is kind of worried about Elliot and wants to go find him. And I thought this was another good scene too, because this is where Cliff shows up as Kate Cad is walking away.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:39

Remember that?

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm trying to find that in my notes. Yes. So Cliff walks up to Fern.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

Uh-huh. And Cliff tells Fern that Grayson is using her. Mm-hmm. And she's too sweet of a girl to be used like that. And she's like, you barely know me. And the way this was shot and done was so good because they're they're arguing with each other, but they're getting closer and closer and closer to one another. And you can just feel the attraction between the two of them.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 13:15

And then, you know, and the music is so great there because it's like building up to the point. It just reminds me of movies from, I mean, I don't even know what era, like the 50s, the 40s, and 50s, where you had that dramatic music.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

Right.

SPEAKER_01 13:29

You know, and it and then they're getting closer together. It's just so, it's just so well done.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

It was.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

And we've often talked about the music, obviously the original songs and everything, but um, but just how they use the music for the moment is just so well done in this series.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

It was.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Yeah. It was. And then they end up kissing.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

What a kiss, huh?

SPEAKER_01 13:52

What a kiss.

SPEAKER_02 13:53

The tension built, and then it it exploded. So, but then what I thought was pretty interesting is Cliff is like, um, the sad thing is, is you're still part of his crew, and then he turns and walks away.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Well, he says you're engaged to a scoundrel.

SPEAKER_02 14:09

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

You've been engaged to a scoundrel, but engaged nonetheless, you know, or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:16

It kind of leaves uh Fern standing. Oh, it was. He loved, he loves her. I think she likes him, loves him too.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

So yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Well, you know, we also have Elliot confronts his mom.

SPEAKER_02 14:31

Right, down at the pond.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

Down at the pond, and Tessa, Tessa's like, Do you know what happened to Griffin? And Elliot's like, basically, like, do you even care about me and about Vic?

SPEAKER_03 14:43

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

Like Griffin, you know, he wants Elliot wants answers.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:48

And then she tries again to say, you and Kat, you know, you and Kat don't understand the trouble that you've caused. And he's like, Have you ever thought about Vic? Have you ever thought about me?

SPEAKER_03 14:58

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

In the past 40 years, you know, he's he's really visibly upset. And then he's like, Why did you do it? You know, because he wants that answer. And she's basically just like, I thought it was the best choice. And she says it like so matter-of-factly, you know. She's not well, it's just kind of like, I thought it was the better choice. And and I really think we're gonna find out that she she had a choice, but not really. And I think, you know, I'm gonna choose to believe that she really did it for what she thought would be the best for him for the future, for whatever's going on.

SPEAKER_03 15:32

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Um, I don't think she's gonna end up being like a bad person.

SPEAKER_03 15:37

Right.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

At least I hope not.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

I hope not, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

And then she turns and walks away and leaves them there at the pond. And then that's when Kat finds finds Elliot. She runs into him down at the pond, and they they start to talk, and and Kat is like, well, let's go home and we can come back. And he's like, No, I need some answers. And she's like, Well, you know, Alice, I gotta take Alice to school tomorrow. And he's like, Okay, so he decides that they'll go back and they'll come back another day.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

Well, and she also says, We know I come back. You know, we know we come back because I'm in the screen test.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

There's this the screen test we haven't come across yet that was in the is it in the opening episode or the end of last season?

SPEAKER_02 16:23

I think it was in yeah, I think it was in the opening.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

The season finale and then the opening, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Yeah. And then that's that's right. So they grab hands, they hold hands, and they go to jump, and Elliot lets go of Kat, and she gets into the pond, and then the pond says, Oh, here we go, and takes her away. But prior to her jumping in, he tries to pull back, pull her back, and say, because he says, Kate, wait, like he was gonna or cat. Okay, here we go, kitty cat. Like um, he was gonna confess to something.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

Right. He does say, cat, wait, right, like, but it's too late. You know how you get in those moments where you like the train has left the station and it was too late for him, and there was no way he was gonna be able to pull her back because she was already in motion of jumping, and I think he had regret in that moment.

SPEAKER_03 17:15

Right.

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Because she doesn't know why he's choosing not to go to jump back in.

SPEAKER_02 17:22

Right. So that kind of stung it a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

Yep, yep. So so now Kat has jumped into the pond without him, and the pond is taking her away, and you presume she's going back to present day, but oh no. No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

It takes you where it wants you to go.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

That's right. So she ends up in 1979, yeah.

Kat Lands In 1979 And Gets A Clue

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Is that 1979? So she's like, Where am I? Oh no, you know, and she knows she's not because she looks at the farm, she's at Landry Farm and she can she can tell it's not present day, but she's not quite sure when. And then Fern comes from around the corner, and she's older, she's grandma fern.

SPEAKER_03 18:06

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 18:07

So, and I think is it does Fern say 1979?

SPEAKER_02 18:10

Yes, Fern says you're in 1979, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

Right. And so Kat is upset, she tells Fern, you know, I have to go back and get Elliot. He's stuck there, you know. Yeah, and the the pond pulled me here, and and Fern is like, give the boy some time with his mother, dear. You know, I thought that was just a really good line. You know, it was it was like, and basically Fern says sometimes it's a gift and sometimes it's not.

SPEAKER_02 18:37

Right. And she's not she's been through it, so she knows. And she also um tells Kat that she's a true friend. Um, but you know, the Landry women they don't do so well with uh love. So right, she says they're cursed actually when it comes to love.

SPEAKER_04 18:59

Right.

SPEAKER_02 19:01

And so Kat doesn't know you know what to do, but Vern tells her, and this is another clue and another big reveal. Um she adds as she's walking away, the key is the key.

SPEAKER_01 19:18

She says, Remember this, kitty cat.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Yes, remember it, kitty cat.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

So that was the key.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

That was pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

And you know, if I were Kat in that moment, I'd be like, Do you know how much stuff I have to remember? Right from different timelines that it's hard to it is, it's very hard. So the key is the key. So that is a key to what happens at the end, which you kind of suspect. Like that was sort of something we had suspected early on. Right, you know, um, that it was going to come back up, and here it does come back up in this episode in a very big way.

SPEAKER_02 19:57

Yes, it does.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Right.

SPEAKER_02 19:59

All right. So you wanna you wanna move on to 1979?

Alice Watches New Year’s 1979 Unravel

SPEAKER_01 20:05

Well, yeah, we were in 1979, but then we go to Alice has traveled to 1979. Yes, and she comes upon Coils and it is New Year's Eve, and she peeks in the window and she sees the gang is there, right? Tell, uh, Cole, Griffin is there, who else? Um Evelyn, Evie, Evelyn.

SPEAKER_02 20:28

Jasper.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

Well, yeah, he's the owner. Um and they're showing a film. So I don't know if she goes, she sees the film, right? There's a film. Jasper is showing old films because he's gonna be closing coils. So he's got these films, and he shows it of Del and Cole's wedding. Del gets upset, goes outside, and Alice is out there hiding.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Behind a truck.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Right, and she overhears Del and Cole, you know, have a discussion, and they're still, you know, uh Dell is upset because looking at that video, she's you know, she remembers when they had so much promise to start a family and they were so excited, and they've had so much trouble now in this in this timeline, uh, or in 1979, you know, they've had trouble having a baby, or she's lost some babies, and so she's just really upset. And Alice is privy to that conversation, and Dell goes to the car, and and as Griffin's getting ready to go, or as Cole is getting ready to go to the car, Griffin comes out of coils and is like, hey man, is everything okay? And then Cole finds out that Griffin knew what happened, that she had the miscarriage. Yeah, because grandma, which is Fern, right, had written Griffin.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

Right. But did he, or did she, or did he already know because he time jumps? Just putting it out there.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

What do you mean? Well, it happened that year, so you're saying he time jumped.

SPEAKER_02 22:03

Maybe he knew about it, but maybe not.

SPEAKER_01 22:06

That that was his time well, maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 22:09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

Well, maybe, maybe not. Maybe, maybe not. You might you might be right. Because Colton's saying maybe he found out when he jumped and it and he was in a different timeline. He found out. Okay. Maybe. Maybe. That's possible.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

But then so him and him and Colton kind of have words back and forth why Griffin had had left and left Colton there to take care of the family and the farm and all that stuff. So there was still some angst there. But you know, Griffin said, be strong and be definitely be strong for Dell. And Colton walks away and gets in the car and drives off. And then I thought this was so funny because, you know, Alice is still hiding behind the truck and Griffin's still standing there. And Alice kind of peeps up and looks over watching, you know, Del and Colton, you know, drive away. And Griffin's like, hey, aren't you aren't you Colton's friend?

SPEAKER_01 23:04

Yeah. And she's like, yes. Sure. I am. Yeah. And you know, you know what else I like in this scene about Griffin is we really get a sense that he's a nice guy. Like you really get his. I don't know that we've gotten that so much, and that he's, you know, because everybody thinks he's this horrible guy, and um Tessa fell in love with him and she chose to go with him and not stay. And so I think there's obviously going to be more to that story too, but we really get a sense that he's a decent guy.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

Right.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

But we don't know what's up happening from there.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

And then Griffin and Alice walk back into Cole's coils. And Evelyn is excited and is runs over to Alice and gives her a big hug and says, Gosh, you don't even look like you've aged a day. Uh-oh. She's starting to wonder what's going on, right?

SPEAKER_01 24:02

She's starting to put some pieces together. She's like, You must give me your skincare routine.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

I thought that was funny. I thought that was a good scene. Yeah, it was. And then they're because it's New Year's, they're they're getting ready to count down, you know, to 1980, which I thought was cool. 80s, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

Yeah, we're finally getting to the 80s. We're so excited. And then the show's ending. Yes. The 80s, that's our jam, right? That's our jam right there.

SPEAKER_02 24:29

They're standing around, they're drinking champagne, they're talking, and watching the video that Jasper had put together, and then lo and behold, somebody shows up on it that we don't know.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

Dun dun dun.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

And who is it?

SPEAKER_01 24:43

It's Kat. It's Kitty Cat. It's Kitty Cat.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

Coming down the stairs in Kohl's. It's like, and then it's so interesting because Alice is like in shock. But Evelyn goes, wait a minute, I know that lady. You know, she's the white witch. She's the one that saved me from the pond or pulled me out of the pond. And Jasper's like, Alice, isn't that your mom? And she's like, No, I I don't know her. And then Evan Evelyn was like, Well, remember the picture in the in the what was it? The her house her future house, I guess. The painting. Yeah, yeah. The painting of cat back in the 18th century, 17 or whatever it was. And I thought that was I loved how they they wrote that. That was very good.

SPEAKER_01 25:33

Yeah, it was it was really good. And of course, Alice is like, oh my gosh, I have to get rid of the film, right? So she so Alice, um, so and then around that time is when Tessa and Vic come in two coils, and they all and then it becomes midnight, there's a countdown, right, to midnight. And while they're, I think while they're cheering each other and hugging, or is that when that's when Alice goes and she takes the film container, but Tessa sees her taking the film.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:09

So now Tessa's interested.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

And that Tessa says a lot.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

And as the countdown to 80 begins, Alice ends up walking out and she throws the film. I don't know why she threw it in the trash can right outside. Right there. It's like, oh come on, would you really do that? And and Evelyn comes out and it's like, what are you doing? And she's like, Why are you always gone for so long? And and you know, that was a sad scene because I think Alice knew at that point she might not be seeing her anymore.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

Right.

SPEAKER_02 26:47

In that time period. So it was kind of fat um sad.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

Yeah, it was a little bit sad. And then Alice ends up telling Evie what we'll talk about in a little bit, what Casey has told Alice, and that everything is a countdown to something else. And she tells Evie, one day you're gonna look back at this time and see these as the golden days. Yeah. You know, isn't that the truth, too? Sometimes you look back with rose-colored glasses, you know.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

Yeah, it's it's mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

You think it's hard during the time, and then when you get a little bit older, you're like, you know, it wasn't so bad.

SPEAKER_02 27:24

No, it wasn't. Not at all.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Yeah, I I agree with you.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

So yeah, that I thought that that was a really good, a really good scene between Alice and and Evie too. Yeah. Evie too, also, yeah, like you said. Yep. Man, I know, I know. Now we go back to present day.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

Yes, let's go back to present day.

Sam And Casey Talk Fate And Choice

SPEAKER_01 27:48

So you have the opening that we talked about earlier, and the present day, and after that opening, it goes immediately to present day, and Sam and Casey are back at the chessboard.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

Right.

SPEAKER_02 27:59

And I think, don't they show the plaque that Max gave Alice gave to Alice, which is dedicated to her, yeah. I thought so too.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

You you you know, we find out I think it's now when we find out that Casey did tell Sam his future, and they're like, um, we both know what's always supposed to happen will happen.

SPEAKER_03 28:22

Right.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

And first and she wants or they want Sam to not take things for granted.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Right.

SPEAKER_01 28:29

Which is yeah, a little bit of what Alice tells Evie.

SPEAKER_02 28:35

And she kind of she kind of tells them, you know, you gotta earn it. You know, it's just not gonna happen. You gotta earn it. You know, if you want her love, go get it. Just because, you know.

SPEAKER_00 28:46

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

And then we get in the present time, we get Dell and Alice. They're sitting sitting at the kitchen table. And this is where what I thought was pretty cool and a cool edit is back in 1925 when Fern puts her head on at the kitchen table. Her hands, her hands on her head. Alice in this in the present time takes her hands from her head down to the table. And I thought that was shot really well. So good.

SPEAKER_01 29:15

The editing and the shooting of that. Yes, yes, that scene was really good.

SPEAKER_02 29:19

And that and that's when uh Alice kind of tells Dell that she's not gonna go to school. She wants to defer a year, right?

SPEAKER_01 29:26

Yep. Yep, and and then Sam is trying to call Dell while they're sitting at the table, and you know, Alice is like, it looks like I'm not the only one facing things, you know, because Del's like, you gotta tell your mom.

SPEAKER_02 29:37

Yeah. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

And then we have Jacobs talking to Danny about Abby, and Danny is kind of basically like, don't poke that bear, meaning Lewis, because you've been through the whole wanting to burn down the vineyard thing. Lewis might be a little bitter about that still. So you might not want to pursue his daughter.

SPEAKER_02 29:56

Yeah, because Danny.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

That's really a brief scene.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

Yeah, it is. And I'm not sure what they were trying to gain out of this showing that part because he does ask her about Abby and then ask him about Abby, you mean? He asked Danny about Abby. And he uh Danny says, Yeah, she's she's a brilliant girl. He said, But you don't want to go poking that bear again. He said, I don't even understand how you still have a job or whatever it was he said.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

Well, that's true too. Yeah, he does say that. Well, he calls her a marketing whiz. He calls Abby, Danny calls Abby a marketing whiz.

SPEAKER_03 30:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:31

So Jacob's trying to get some information, like, did you ever meet Lewis's daughter?

SPEAKER_03 30:35

Right.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

Kind of thing. Yeah.

unknown 30:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

And then we have, you know, Dell has asked to meet Sam at their property line, and Dell thanks him for carrying her home after she passed out.

SPEAKER_03 30:47

Right.

SPEAKER_01 30:47

In the fields. And is that when Sam asks her if she remembers what she said to him?

SPEAKER_03 30:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

Okay. Okay. I couldn't, I didn't jot that down. I'm like, I think that's the scene that he asks her.

SPEAKER_02 30:58

Yeah. And he was, he was like, so, and she said no. And he was like, Oh, so the only reason you came over here was to thank me. And she was like, Well, yeah, I guess.

Alice Defers College And Dinner Explodes

SPEAKER_01 31:12

No, poor Sam. Now I'm feeling sorry for Sam.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

Yeah. And so he kind of says, Well, you know, when you're ready, just you know where I live. Come on over. Right.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

And what's great about this scene is too, because when this scene ends, they're at like a fence on the land where you know, right at the line, I think, right? The property line.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

And then when they and then it goes to 1925, and that's where Fern and Kat are at first. They're at the fence, which is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 31:38

So lots of I I love that that back and forth like that.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

Yeah. So then Jacob sees Abby in coils, and Abby is there working. She's trying to find a new hook for, you know, her family's business. And, you know, she says her dad is a purist, and he just goes on and on about the land and the soil. And of course, of course, Jacob is like, you know, she doesn't know he grew up in a time where that's what you focused on.

SPEAKER_02 32:05

Yeah. And he says, I kind of agree with your dad.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

Yeah, yeah. So then Abby's like, well, show me.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

Which, which I thought was really was really great. So we'll get back to them in a minute.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

Right. And then we get uh what was it, Kat and and and Del, right?

SPEAKER_01 32:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 32:22

So Kat tells Del that the Pond won't let her go back to Elliot to go save Elliot, and she's worried because, you know, she has to take Alice to school tomorrow, not knowing that Alice is not going yet.

SPEAKER_01 32:34

Right.

SPEAKER_02 32:35

And Del kind of tells Kat that, you know, um, I think she was, was it Kat she was telling um that she can't keep Sam at arm's length? And then Kat is like, well, why are you trying to anyways? And then she tells Kat about, you know, she was seeing Cole when she wasn't kind of unconscious and that she still loves him and all this other stuff. And and Kat kind of says, Well, you know, dad wouldn't want you to be living like this, he'd want you to live your life, to move on, move forward, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

So that was uh I mean, there was a lot of good scenes in this I know there was just there was so much going on in this episode, and then and then Alice sees Casey and tells Casey that she, Alice, has deferred college, and Casey's annoyed.

SPEAKER_02 33:27

Yeah, she is. They are they're like they are like, why'd you do that? You know, I didn't tell you to do that.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

I didn't tell you to do that, I told you to follow your gut, and Alice is basically taken aback because Alice is like, I followed my gut, you know, and then and then Alice is kind of like, I want to know my future, I want to know my future, and Casey won't tell her. No, which is which is interesting because because Casey did tell Sam.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

Right. So I don't, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

Maybe she regretted doing it. I don't know, because of what how things turned out.

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Right. So then Alice ends up inviting Casey to dinner because you know, what's better than a family dinner when everybody's in disarray?

unknown 34:09

Right.

SPEAKER_01 34:09

So we have food pressure. We have dinner time and it's Dell, it's Kat, it's Alice, it's Casey and Jacob, and and um Jacob asks Kat, you know, what's up? And Kat's like, well, you know, basically Elliot is stuck in 1925, the palm won't take me to him. You know, she's all in her, you know.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

And Casey won't tell me if he's okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:29

Yep. And then Alice drops the bomb on Kat that she is not going to college, and she is deferring, and she says, Well, Casey said to follow my gut.

SPEAKER_02 34:40

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 34:41

And Kat's a little not happy with Casey in that moment.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

No, she's not.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

So Casey gets up and heads to the pond, and Alice can confronts them. And, you know, Casey basically says, Did you ever think about how this is affecting me? It's not just about you.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

Another great scene.

SPEAKER_01 35:01

Yeah, you know, and I thought that was so good too.

SPEAKER_02 35:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

You know, and I was like, you know, I haven't thought about that, you know. But we see, and we should have, because you see how all, you know, how Kat and Alice and how how time jumping has affected them when they're in the timeline.

SPEAKER_03 35:19

Right. You know, and they would.

SPEAKER_01 35:21

Yeah, and Alice hasn't thought about that aspect of it.

SPEAKER_02 35:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:27

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 35:28

Because she's only worried about herself.

SPEAKER_01 35:30

Right. And then Casey says, you know, my lander family loves to go on and on about basically the good old days. Good old days. And but I'm not seeing that here. It's all fighting and secrets.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

Secrets, secrets and lies.

SPEAKER_01 35:41

And then Casey says, that's when Casey drops the line about I just wanted to see what it was like before everything changes.

SPEAKER_02 35:48

Yeah, and she's the one that said everything has a countdown to everything counts down to something. And then she jumps in the pond. You like my special effects?

SPEAKER_01 35:59

Well, and then Alice gets in her mom calling her, and she's like, I'm not dealing with that. I'm gonna jump in the pond. She's like, Bye. Alice would rather jump in the pond. So then Alice jumps, and that's when she ends up in 1979.

SPEAKER_02 36:14

Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

So then we have Jacob and Kat, they're having a sweet conversation on the front porch, and Kat's whole world is basically falling apart. And you know, Jacob kind of gives her a pep talk, tells her she's gotta trust the pond's reasons.

SPEAKER_03 36:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:30

And she's like, you know, Kat says Elliot is my he's my person. And I'm like, is that a shout out to Gray's Anatomy?

SPEAKER_03 36:38

I know, right?

SPEAKER_01 36:39

Because I think that phrase was used in Gray's Anatomy between Meredith and um Sandra O's character, who I can't think of. They're like, You're my person.

SPEAKER_03 36:50

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

So I was like, I don't know. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. That's what I thought of instantly when she said he's my person.

SPEAKER_02 36:58

Yeah. But Jacob kind of tells her, you know, the pond will bring him back when the time, when it's time. And she said, Well, it didn't bring you back for 20 something years or 20, 25 years. So she's kind of dis you know, she's losing hope.

SPEAKER_01 37:13

Right.

SPEAKER_02 37:14

So yeah.

Jacob And Abby Move Past Grudges

SPEAKER_01 37:17

And then Kat and Alice have their conversation. Alice tells her where she was, that she was in 1979, and that she still wants to defer. And Kat handles it pretty well. Yeah, she does. You know, she's basically like, okay, you can that's fine. Um, but you're gonna need a plan. You know, what most of us who have teens who, you know, maybe didn't go to college are like, you know, you need a plan. Yeah, you do we're not just gonna sit around. We're gonna have a plan. You gotta have something to do. You're not just gonna be here. I thought that was kind of cute.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

It was.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

You know, and then I love when Kat tells her, now you're gonna have to tell your dad and may as well get that done sooner rather than later.

SPEAKER_02 37:53

Yeah. That was it, that was a good scene.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

I thought that was a really good scene.

SPEAKER_02 37:57

Yeah. And um, Alice tells her mom that back in 1979 when she was running from her mom because she didn't want to face her, uh, Kat shows up on a video and everybody saw it.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

Not a video, film.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

A film. And Kat was like, wow.

SPEAKER_00 38:13

Excuse you, video wasn't.

unknown 38:15

What?

SPEAKER_02 38:16

And I thought that was that was good too. Yes. And then you hear a knock at the door, and they kind of both look at each other and like, are you expecting somebody? And they're like, No, and kind of find out it's a piano tech. He's there because apparently Elliot had called because one of the keys on the keyboard, the piano, Fern's piano, was sticking. So he was there to fix that problem.

SPEAKER_01 38:40

Fix the key. The key is the key. You know what I'm saying? And then it kind of goes to Abby and Jacob are at the field, and Jacob is sort of giving Abby a history. Right. Right. That far, and I thought it was really great when he said farming is in his blood, it's tangible, farming is logical. You put in a lot of work and you get something back. I just, I don't know. I really love those lines that he delivered. And then he starts talking about the soil itself and like the type of soil that's there is usually bad for for farming. But when he holds it, he's holding his history.

SPEAKER_03 39:16

Right.

SPEAKER_01 39:17

Right? It's his family's history. And I just the storytelling in that scene, I thought was so great. It was. And then the music when he's talking is kind of like time period-ish. I don't know if you notice this is where the composing is so good, the score is so good of the way home. Yeah. And that you you feel like you're back in time when he's talking. And it was just, and it was so true, you know, when we didn't have all these devices or all these things, and you had to, and yeah, it was hard work.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

It was not easy, but you got something back, you know, for all for your hard work, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:51

Right, you're harvesting, yeah, you know. So I really

The Piano Key Hides A Letter

SPEAKER_01 39:56

enjoyed that.

SPEAKER_02 39:58

And then we get back to Kate and the piano man. He cat. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 40:05

Not Kate. Cat.

SPEAKER_02 40:08

And the piano tech finds what's causing this the key to stick, and it's a note.

SPEAKER_01 40:15

Yep, it is a note. And of course, you realize that the note is the page that was missing from Alice's book. And Kat mentions it's got the inscription she saw in 1925, which was a little inscription to Fern from Tessa, right? But the key wasn't there. Right. So I don't know how that's gonna play into things.

SPEAKER_02 40:36

The keys or the words. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:39

The key is the key, so I don't know what's gonna happen there.

SPEAKER_02 40:42

I still think it stands for cat, but that cat's gonna save everybody or save the timeline or something. Right.

SPEAKER_01 40:50

So there's there's a picture of a key, and above the key it says the letter above or it says the letter.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

Comes after.

SPEAKER_01 41:00

And then below the key it says comes after. Right? So it's like the letter comes after.

SPEAKER_02 41:07

Right. Right, which would mean because the key looks like an L and it comes after K, so the key is the key.

SPEAKER_01 41:15

So you think it's cat.

SPEAKER_02 41:19

Yeah, K for cat. But they had some words on the left side which were um good that just great tried be. And then they had words on the right, which was of you at if have there. So what in the world?

SPEAKER_01 41:35

Like good of you. Like I was trying to read at if yeah, I missed the have. So good of you that at just great if have to try be there. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 41:48

Right. It's like there's some words missing.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

Right.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

Or maybe that's part of the key. The words that are missing.

SPEAKER_01 41:57

So we're gonna find out. But then you realize that there is a there is a letter on the back of that page, and Kat is talking to Alice, and it is a love letter from Mr. Cliff to Fern.

SPEAKER_02 42:13

Yep, confessing his love for her.

SPEAKER_01 42:16

So now we have to figure out why he wrote that and then put it in the piano.

SPEAKER_02 42:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

Because they're like, why would he do that? And not so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:25

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 42:26

But maybe because they couldn't end up being together? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

Right, right. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 42:32

Right.

SPEAKER_02 42:32

So then, or maybe he wanted her to find it and she never did and never knew that he loved her because maybe he's the one that went missing in the uh in the tunnels.

SPEAKER_01 42:42

The the mine. We have the mine explosion.

SPEAKER_02 42:44

And Fern just thought he left and left.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

So maybe that could very well be too.

SPEAKER_02 42:50

But he put it in there hoping that she would find and know that he did love her. So maybe we'll go, we'll go with that because I actually like that better.

SPEAKER_01 42:57

All right. So then Dell rides to the cornfield where she passed out. She remembers that she actually told Sam she loved him. I'll try to go a little quickly because we're running long.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

Yes, we are.

SPEAKER_01 43:08

Um Jacob and Abby, they they have they end up having a sunset picnic in the back of I think it's his pickup.

SPEAKER_03 43:16

Right.

SPEAKER_01 43:16

And she's basically like cheers to overcoming grudges. And they kiss. So we've had two kisses in this one. Sam shows up at I think he shows up at Landry Farm, and Del tells Sam that she loves him.

SPEAKER_02 43:31

No, she goes to him.

SPEAKER_01 43:33

She goes to him. Just kidding. Yes. She Del goes to Sam.

SPEAKER_02 43:36

That's it.

SPEAKER_01 43:37

She tells Sam that she loves him. He says he loves her and he's not going to take anything for granted. And then he's made this really cute date night spot for them with a couch, and they're gonna watch a movie. It's movie time.

SPEAKER_03 43:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

And he says, I I normally am a routine guy and by the book, and but he did that spontaneously for her, which is great. And they're sitting on the couch, they're gonna watch some like get hot.

SPEAKER_02 44:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 44:04

Casey's watching and smiling. Sam sees Casey. He goes, he goes to her, and Casey's basically like, you mean a lot to me in my time.

SPEAKER_03 44:14

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:15

And he says he's gonna share with Dell what he knows, and Casey's like, just be careful.

SPEAKER_03 44:21

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:22

So and Sam is surprised that Casey hasn't fought him more on telling Dell what he knows about the future.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:31

What Casey has told him.

SPEAKER_02 44:32

And that's why the Pond wouldn't let Casey go back. Because they had unfinished business, and that was Sam and Dell.

SPEAKER_01 44:42

Right.

SPEAKER_02 44:43

So there you go. And now we have Monica who now owns.

SPEAKER_01 44:48

We're back at Coils.

SPEAKER_02 44:50

SPEAKER_01 47:30

And Alice sees the article that says big fish caught at New Year's Eve bash. And who is it a picture of that is being arrested but Elliot? Elliot. The date of the paper is January 4th, 1926. And the article does not call him Elliot. It calls him Tom Buchanan. And it says he was arrested at the Lingermore estate by Inspector Cliff. Yeah. So Tom is a bootlegger, people. Tom slash Elliot is a bootlegger.
