  Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I'm Wendy. I'm a former Hallmark hater.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We are back with a listener mailbag episode for the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Way Home season four, number two for the season. If
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you want to participate in future listener mailbag episodes, send
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: us your emails hello at Girlsgonhollmark dot com or shoot
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: us a voicemail nine four nine three two nine eight
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: zero nine zero. We typically record these on Wednesday of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the week following the episodes, you have a couple of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: days to get your thoughts in in time for the episode.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I did look at our email last night and saw
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that we had quite a few, but there's even more today.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That's exciting. So thanks for listening and thanks for writing in.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Can I start with this first one? Yeah, ma'am email
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: from Lindsay titled Redemption for Elliott. Hey, my mom and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I are back to living your podcast. Thanks for all
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of your thoughts on hot takes. First things first, shout
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: out to Francisco for standing up for Elliott and calling
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: out Wendy dot dot dot haha. Sorry hashtag team Elliott.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: When he's making a sad face. I'm not making a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sad face. I think I did address you did very much.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it's been you can have an opinion. People
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: are just having fun. I know, I know, I don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: feel any like I don't feel bad about it, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it has been weighing on my heart for a whole
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: week and a half. Anyway, Lindsay goes on to write
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you guys mentioned Kat and Jacob communicating via text, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: thought maybe Kat knows more about Jacob. However, it looks
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like the conversation is very one sided, with Kat sending
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: updates and Jacob not responding. Hmmm. And then previous for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the next episode, we get a glimpse of Tessa. When
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: did Alice previously meet the girl? Quoting ts Elliott, wasn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that in nineteen seventy four? So if Alice is back
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, Tessa looks more growing up right, check
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: out this picture for comparison. They're in the email, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't copy into here. She does look a little
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: bit older, but I think if you look at like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a fourteen and a sixteen year old, there's a big
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: difference in how they can grow a lot in that time. Okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I will put the photo in our show notes. Yes,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: at Girls Gone Homemerk. She also sent a screenshot of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the texts from Kat to Jacob. I do recall it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was kind of all one sided. Yeah, Jacob's not responding back. No,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: assuming Jacob is in the present and can respond exactly done.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: She finishes with saying it will sure be interesting to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: watch the mysteries unravel this season. Thanks for your insights,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: signed Lindsey, who was also Team Francisco.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Ha ha ha.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Next up, we have a voicemail from listener lands love it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Hi, yay, let's your fans believe me? A voicemail question
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: or demanded Tony.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We want to say I want to walk at the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: gay into bad.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Stuff Maria, and I see whether you think and do this.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You didn't want to be falling up or on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: anything horse and not lasting caps, just fluttering my dog.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I've spent so much of my current things to eat
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: their dating things or anything he's doing something. I don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: have enough information, soil would say a fight anything.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I have a light any here seeing if I had
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the only lot pony one out of fifty pace and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I looked at it and I think that I would
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: feel face some kind of qualifiers everything. In a while,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Andy been doing the comcast you love for whether I
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: understand because the one in Barnabule or not different they
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: think of Highlander, whether it can only be one anyway,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: they appreciate the podcast.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine Lance's internal dialogue when he listens
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to our podcast. Sorry, Lance, I love it. I'm so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: glad that he called us on his dog walk. Sorry
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we bullied you into it, Lance, but we really love
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to keep them coming. We have an email from Jennifer
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: who says, I hope this isn't too weird, but I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't decide how to organize my thoughts on this episode,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so I decided to do it by going beat by
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: beat throughout your episode on my second time listening. Overall,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm really liking the season so far. Also, I was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the one who wrote in before the season began, wondering
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: if Hallmark would do the same kind of YouTube after
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: show that it did for When Calls the Heart. They
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are not. They did release a video about the costumes
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: before the season began, and they are releasing episode highlights
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and previews, so they are not ignoring it. A non
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Hallmark podcast I listened to talks about holding theories loosely.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's always important for shows like The Way Home,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but especially as we come to the end. It's great
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to theorize, but we cannot become so enamored with our
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: own theories. We get angry when the show goes a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: different way. I would add that a particular subgenre of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this is to be upset when the show goes with
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: something that people who listen to podcasts and or posts
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to Reddit and social I think is too obvious. Usually
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that just means the writers did a good job of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: setting up the ending and are not throwing in something
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: random to catch people off guard. Can I stop you there? Yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what podcast Jennifer is referring to, the Non
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Hallmark podcast about holding theories loosely. I might want to listen,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So Jennifer email us. I'm curious, give me your podcast recommendations.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So Jennifer sent the most detailed email we have received
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to date. I highlighted a few of her many, many,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: many points. She says Dell not being there for Elliott.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think she's referring to him not being able to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: live with them Colton tells her to not even bother
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: asking Elliott to spend the night since he'll say no.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I think Dell knew that Vick was abusive and didn't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: want them under the same roof, But for reasons we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: find out, presumably they weren't able to do that. Also,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in terms of your conversations of her not being there
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for Elliott after Jacob and Colton in nineteen ninety nine
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and two thousand, that's probably true. But interestingly, at the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: beginning of season one, they already have a close relationship
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: before Cat has moved back, so at some point they
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: restarted their closeness outside of him being with Cat. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: think that's probably good for them to have a relationship
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: outside of him being her likely future son in law.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, season two, and I think even in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a little of season one, there were also times Dell
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and Brady were really in sync. It's interesting that Dell
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can make these good relationships with Kat's men, even when
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: she and Cat can have a hard time. He does
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have a really good point back in season one, Elliott
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and Dell were quite close, already close. She goes on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to say, is Jacob a main character you both dislike
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Jacob being away and part because the show is about family.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I would counter that for some reason. I remember the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: initial description of the show, which didn't mention time travel,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: described it about three generations of women learn how to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: find their way back to each other. So I've always
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: seen the main characters as just Dell, Cat and Alicy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I think Elliott, Colton, and Jacob in that order, as
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: our strongest secondary characters. Everyone else, even Alice's boyfriend Brady,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and Rita, are tertiary. I think Casey is probably tertiary
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: as well, based on screen time, but this season may
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: change my perspective. While Jacob has been important to characters,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's often his absence more than his presence that's important.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: In some ways, he's more an object being sought than
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a driver of the plot. I think that's very interesting.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He may bee who they are looking for, but he
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: didn't choose to go into the pond the first time.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Alice and Kat drive the plot every time they choose
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and sometimes are faded into the pond. About Tessa Cooper,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I agree that Fern recognizes the last name Cooper. Also,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I was screaming in my head during the party for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Cat to bring up Tessa's maiden name to people. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: know not the only one to think this, but the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: fortune teller could be someone probably Tessa. If Fern knows Tessa,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that means Fern has met a time traveler without realizing
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: she was a time traveler. Do you think there are
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: others ash mirroring the nineteen twenty sixth story about the sailor.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of ominous. Also married again according
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to Dell, with what Fern said about her baby daddy,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: which I think is a lie. Oh, I think it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was a lie when Fern said it too. She was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: just making up that story.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this just makes me want to go back and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: watch the episode again.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Whole series. This is incredible insight I think from Jennifer
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: m hm. As we're like reading through it, I'm like,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is Jennifer a. Ryder on the show being very sneaky
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: about giving us the inside baseball of it all? That's funny.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think she is, but she's quite insightful.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Our next emails from Lisa, Hi, Megan, and Wendy. We
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: love your show so much. Thanks, thank you for getting
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: your episodes out. The very next day after the episode ears,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I know I emailed you guys last year about this,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to reiterate that there's no question in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: my mind that Alice is quote the one. They have
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: told us that from the very start. Her last name
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is Alice Dewan, which based clee, sounds like the one
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and also means the one. Oh does it also mean
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the one? Yeah? I think so.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: God.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I just got to say, like shout out to the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: writers of the show for the foresight to come up
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: with all that. Oh maybe not it means runner or messenger.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, but that is interesting too.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: There's there's some pushback about Alison being the one because
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Fern says, well, couldn't be you because you're not a boy.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That was because the cat couldn't be you because you're
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a girl. Vern does not say because you're not a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: boy and someone the Another theory that I read somewhere
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this week was that because Fern says it couldn't be
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you because you're a girl, could point to Casey oh
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: not pointing to a girl. But also it's possible that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Ern got mixed up and assumed it was a man.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: We don't know, don't We don't know the details there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Our next emails from Sarah, Hei, Megan, and Wendy. Great
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: recap of this week's episode. I love to hear your
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: theories and though of the other listeners in the mail bag.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: In response to last week's mailbag, I don't think Alice
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: buried Tessa's suitcase. I thought that Rock was her and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Nix rock at the co from their first kiss. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: also thought that's why it would be such a memorable
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: location for her for this week's episode. I love the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenties era. I love Gabriel as Grayson. Your theory
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of him as Sam blew my mind and that they
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: do have physical similarities. If this is true, how does
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he get to present day? Maybe this is where the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: pocket watch that was the gift from Griffin to Dell
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and Colton that went into the time capsule comes in.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Regarding the mural, if it was just painted in nineteen
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: twenty five, how did the painter come up with it?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: If it is supposed to depict Kat as the White
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Witch protecting Evelyn and Colton in the pond in nineteen
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: sixty five. In the nineteen seventy six timeline, did you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: notice how Lucid Fern was with Alice. In all of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Kat's interactions with Fern in that decade, she was always
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: so in her head with Chance in singing. Then with
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Alice she's lucid and calm. What changed in that short
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: time period regarding the room and the tunnels? I think
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Alice was connecting with Jacob being held captive down there.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: She heard that story from Kat, but had not been
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: down there herself. She couldn't really admit that to Colton,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: so she had to drop it quickly and follow him.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for next week. I'm so excited to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: see who Griffin is. There's another question further down about
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Gabriel as Grayson, and I didn't think it through how
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it could work. It was just a theory that I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: had in that moment. The timing is weird because as
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of right now, we can't travel to the future that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: we're aware of, right, so he would have to be
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: from the future, got it. Yeah, So, and if you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: were traveling straightforward in time, he'd be like one hundred
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: years old. Yeah. So it's okay, they're there. It's still
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility, I know. Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Our next femails from Francisco, he writes, Megan and Windy, Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like not a whole lot happened. I mean
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Kat went to nineteen twenty five, met Fern, and then
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: around Now. I get that they want to establish who
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Fern is and who the players are. I just felt
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: like not a whole lot happened in the past compared
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy six and the present. That being said,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: let's talk about Fern. She's very cute and spunky. She
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: seems so full of life and just fun. She's obviously
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a better journalist than Kat has been. Now, I don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: think Grayson is Sam. Why can't he be someone new? Also,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I did notice the reaction of Fern to Tessa Cooper's name.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of this was set up. Can we stopped
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: there for a second. Francisco asks, why can't Why can't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Grayson just be someone new? I mean, Grayson can be
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: someone new, sure, But I feel like we put our
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: clown makeup on when we watched it, absolutely trying to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like piece it all together. Wow, you know, it's like
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: when we watch Hallmark Mysteries, like we want to solve
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it before like.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: The end of the movie.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's I mean, that's how I feel like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I watched this show. I want to like solve it before. Yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the mystery of Sam is a big one, and I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: would like to figure out who he is. And it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: entirely possible. Sam's not someone we've met already. Yeah, we
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: don't know his connection Grayson, No Sam. I'm saying it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: entirely possible Sam. Sam's not Griffin. Sam's not Grayson's. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it's not you know, Sam's not any of these people,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: right right. Francisco goes on. Ash was so awful. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: don't blame ev for wanting to raise Lewis on her own.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: He straddled the line between wanta be Beatnick to future
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: cult leader loll. I thought that was very funny, and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I agree Lingermore has probably seen more than one orgy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Since he showed up.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Whoa I did?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: We did mention naked people right in our episode, I think, so.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I felt we got more answers, and they searched for
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Tessa in two places. One of those was with Alice.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The stuff in the tunnel marrying Kat's story wasn't very
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: interesting in that regard so far, it seems like unrelated filler.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: When the show could be more focused on test just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: my opinion, he writes. Francisco goes on to say the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: conversations between Dellan Elliott and her flashbacks were the other
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: place we got answers. It seems Griffin had a falling
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: out with Coulton over maybe something involving Tessa and the pond.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what the auditory memory was, Colton yelling at
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Griffin to get out, because they're obviously still estranged in
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the nineties. I think between the present time in nineteen
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: seventy six is when we'll get our answers regarding Griffin
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and Tessa. A lot was set up and not a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: lot happened. I hope in future episodes we get more
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: than this, because they only have eight episodes left now
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to work with. And while I'm interested in Casey, Jacob,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and Sam, I could care less about Nick and definitely
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: not Claire, who I care less about. I don't know
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: why people are still making these crazy theories Alice is Claire?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Who are making those theories? Ay men, Francisco. If people
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: are still saying that where on Reddit? I don't know.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: The thing about this show is the range of people
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: discussing about it ranges from people who have really insightful,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: well thought out, well researched theories and people who are
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: watching and just make an ess up on the spot,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to break it down to who you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: should be paying attention to. Yeah, I don't care about
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Nick at all. No, it's just an unanswered question. They
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: floated this thing about Claire, it seems like. But that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: feels like it could be wrapped up hopefully fairly quickly. Yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Robin emails with a theory about Alice. I'm pretty sure
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: she was pausing in front of the room that Jacob
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was held prisoner by Cyrus Goodwin. You could hear Evelyn
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in the background telling the group the history of the tunnels,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and she mentions it once had prison cells. I'm still
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: curious what Alice bent down to pick up. Was it
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a bullet? I'm not sure anyway, Hope that clears one
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: thing up for me. The most obvious thing is that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it's a bullet casing, but I wasn't one hundred percent
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: sure in the moment what it was. Our next emails
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: from Brook and she writes, I have a theory about
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: who left Elliott at the Pond, and I don't think
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it was his mother. Everyone keeps saying it looks like Alice.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: What if Alice and Elliott wrote the letter and left
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the baby because they knew Tessa wasn't able to come back,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and they knew they would come along moments later and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: find him. I just don't think it's Tessa leaving him.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: There's too much trauma around that. That's a distraction. My
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: opinion is it's going to be a super simple explanation
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of who left the baby at the pond. We here
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: on Girls Gonn Hallmark and never theorized that it was
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Alice who pushed herself into the pond. I was surprised
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: by that, so I agree that it could be a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: possibility we hadn't considered up to this point. We've all
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: considered that it was Tessa, but it definitely could not
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have been. An email from Michelle says, hey, bestie's back
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to the pond.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: We go.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I love the jumping back and forth between times. Here's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: my bullet points. Now we know why Norman isn't in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Hannah Swinson movies. He's looking fine as Grayson and Mamma
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: needs eye candy since there's no Thomas. I don't hate
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this at all. The Cliff character more mystery. Fern is
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: too much in any time. I love her Ellie, it
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: is getting on my last nerve. I love the character development,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: but I don't like this emo version. We definitely are friends.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And finally, the seventies are groovy and I enjoyed revisiting
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the characters thanks to the podcast and for being real
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: about the show. Yeah, I was feeling like a person
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: on an island, out here alone on an island about
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on Elliott and and I love Mama needs
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: some eye candy. I always think that needs to be
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the title of this episode. Okay, Mama needs some candy.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I love it. Great, great, great great. Our next comment
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: came on YouTube.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yes we are are.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Episodes air on YouTube India. The audio is syndicated to YouTube.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Glenn Wright's one throwaway scene that stuck out for me
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was when Grayson told Kat that he had a fortune
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: teller reading people's futures, and Fern quipped that Cat didn't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: need to know her future. I wondered why they had
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that scene at all, which led me to speculate that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Tessa Cooper. Tessa Cooper might be the fortune teller. There
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: were tarot cards in her suitcase after all, or it
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: could have just been a throwaway scene, but those seem
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: rather rare in the show. Well you're not alone, Glenn.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Somebody else said it too, so yeah, yeah, maybe there
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: is some truth to this. I don't see a conceivable
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: timeline where Grace and Goodwin could be Sam. He's been
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: dead for a few generations by nineteen seventy six, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: even more generations by twenty twenty six. So either Sam
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't tie into the characters we've met so far. He
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: could be a long lost Goodwin, Augustine or Landry from
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a member of the family who's moved away a long
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: time ago. He could be Ash. If the hippie poets
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: didn't die young, some did opt for the very conventional
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: lifestyles as they adulted. And that's supposing Dell never met Ash.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even supposing Dell never met Ash,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: because Delle met Alice and didn't remember Alice, yeah when
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: she met her as her granddaughter.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: If Griffin and Tessa did jump together and stayed in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the past, he could be a descendant of theirs. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: think the writers would have planted more seats if Sam
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: was Ash, like having him interact with Max in some
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: obvious way. And I still want to know what happened
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to Jasper Coyle since they don't seem to be any
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Coil descendants in Port Haven. You know what, I hope?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I hope that the creators of this show have a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: wall in their room with all of the wrong theories
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that fans have, and every time a new one takes off,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: they put it on a post it and stick it
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: on the wall and they just laugh. Yeah. Wouldn't be great.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Oh I wonder if they've ever like used the theory, like,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: did they ever integrate one of the theories? One final
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: comment from Susie on YouTube, she confirms what others have suggested.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I do think Tessa is the fortune teller. I think
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: she went back in time with Griffin to escape Vic
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and to meet t. S. Eliot, her favorite author, which,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, Tessa Elliot. Ts Elliott. Well, I've already
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: mentioned I know, like last I know it earlier this
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: season you mentioned it an I think last season too. Anne,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: where's the email that I read that said, like shout
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: out to Wendy for doing the ts Elliott connection. Oh,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, it wasn't intentional. I think Alis
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and Griffin or Jacob are the ones who leave baby
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Elliott by the pond. Alice knows that he won't be
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in danger there because she already knows her and Cat
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and grown Elliott will be there soon. I think Fern
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: ends up with the Temperance inspector guy, at least that's
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: who she has a kid with. I don't know why
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: he doesn't raise her son with her. Perhaps he died
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in that explosion, or maybe Fern just never told him
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and he went traveling around doing that Temperance Inspector thing.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously something happens at some point that Grayson and Fern
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: don't work out. Anyway, We'll see what happens. I'm excited
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to glean more information with every episode. I'm afraid that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it'll be too rushed in the last two episodes of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the season. I'm also afraid that they'll make it that
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: this was all a dream or a story made by
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Kat in the end like lost.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh God, I hope not. I think that would be
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: so disappointed.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And it's not going to end like that. This show
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is not going to end like that. I trust it's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: going to cut back to Alice like bugging out on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the stage of her high school.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, playing the guitar, and then like.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh whoa, I just had like the weirdest no,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I was blacked down. Now, Wendy had a memory of
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an email that I did miss but I found it. Okay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: it's from Alexandra, which makes me think of the Foresights,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: who says, well, first of all, I actually found your
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: show last year after they had the third season to Netflix.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: If it's perfectly the intersection of magical realism and time travel,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: which are my preferred genres, so of course I binge
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: watched it all. Afterwards, I needed to consume more content
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: because why isn't everyone talking about this show? And she
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: found us. Welcome Alexandra. Alexandra says, here's my crazy theory,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Tessa and Elliott, and in that she capitalized T and
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: s in Tessa sounds an awful lot like TS Eliott.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Last season, Elliott says he was named after his mom's
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: favorite awe, which is also where all the letters and
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: clock quotes come from. What if Tessa goes back to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the past and hides there by pretending to be a man,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: taking the name of ts Eliott and ends up being
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the famous author all along. She could have dressed up
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: in men's clothes before jumping, hence why there's a suitcase
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: with her old clothes, and Alice could be the landry
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and female figure jumping with her, and that's why she
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: would know for sure that someone would come get Baby
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Elliott's basket after they jumped, because Alice was there when
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: they rescue Baby Elliott. Thank you to every single person
