1:58
Speaker 1: trip to the past springs surprising discovery, and Dell swallows
2:02
Speaker 1: her pride to ask for help. Awesome. This episode is
2:06
Speaker 1: directed by Nimisha Mukerjie, who also directed last week's episode three. Yeah,
2:13
Speaker 1: I'm excited to Is you hope we're gonna get her?
2:14
Speaker 1: Episode five has not been put in IMDb as of today.
2:19
Speaker 1: It's not revealed yet. No, no, no, okay, you're ready
2:24
Speaker 1: to hop right in? Die right in? Sure? Yeah? Go ahead.
2:29
Speaker 1: This episode opens with Cat underwater and screaming. We see
2:33
Speaker 1: the ferns pull her under. I'm not really sure in
2:37
Speaker 1: this woman who she thinks is going to hear her
2:38
Speaker 1: if she's screaming for Alice underwater, but nevertheless the ferns
2:42
Speaker 1: pull are under I have to tell you that anytime
2:44
Speaker 1: there's an underwater scene where someone's like getting caught, I
2:47
Speaker 1: get a little panicky, short of breath. Yeah, that's one
2:51
Speaker 1: of my most terrifying ways to die. Oh okay, Cat surfaces,
2:58
Speaker 1: We hear a dog in the distance, we hear ukulele playing,
3:02
Speaker 1: and Cat walks wet out of the woods and sees Alice.
3:06
Speaker 1: She's relieved, and then she sees herself that Alice is
3:10
Speaker 1: playing guitar, and young Cat joins and singing. They're strumming
3:15
Speaker 1: along to Lfo's nineteen ninety nine hits Summer Girls, which
3:21
Speaker 1: is real cute, actually very cute. Adult Cat is watching
3:26
Speaker 1: from afar, slightly freaking out, not really quite sure what
3:29
Speaker 1: she's seen. She knows it's her, but like, do you
3:34
Speaker 1: think at this moment, like she's really realized that she's
3:36
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety nine. You know, Cat's kind of
3:39
Speaker 1: freaking out about all of this. And while I know
3:41
Speaker 1: this is a show about time travel and therefore I
3:43
Speaker 1: have to suspend disbelief, I also really felt for the
3:47
Speaker 1: feeling Cat must have been having in this moment, being
3:51
Speaker 1: confronted with all of this, realizing what she's seeing. I'm
3:55
Speaker 1: not sure if in this moment she's fully processed what's
3:59
Speaker 1: going on right right. Also, I'm wondering she's standing there
4:04
Speaker 1: in wet jeans and boots, and that has to be miserable,
4:07
Speaker 1: don't you th inxeed the worst. I'd rather be standing
4:11
Speaker 1: there in my underwear than in wet jeans and boots,
4:13
Speaker 1: I agree. Alice and Kat are talking about Nick and Brady.
4:19
Speaker 1: They're talking about the boys and young Cat mentions that
4:23
Speaker 1: Brady's going to be coming to town to visit. This
4:27
Speaker 1: is a really cute scene between Alice and Cat. They're
4:29
Speaker 1: super playful. They're just having fun, jerking around, playing jokes
4:35
Speaker 1: on each other. It was actually really nice, like it
4:40
Speaker 1: took me back to a time where, well, we didn't
4:43
Speaker 1: have cell phones in our hands and you're just hanging
4:45
Speaker 1: out with your friends, talking and having fun. I just
4:49
Speaker 1: thought it was a really sweet moment. Also, we learn
4:54
Speaker 1: in this scene that kat Is really wants to introduce
4:58
Speaker 1: Alice to Brady. Yes, and at this moment, Alice is
5:02
Speaker 1: excited about that, Yes exactly. What's interesting to me about
5:05
Speaker 1: the scene is that Kat clearly remembers a conversation that
5:07
Speaker 1: she had with Dell because she holds the words along
5:11
Speaker 1: with young Cat, and I wonder if that's the moment
5:15
Speaker 1: where she's realizing what in the world is happening. Alice
5:19
Speaker 1: says she needs to leave, but she'll try to be
5:21
Speaker 1: here when Brady gets here. And yet again I ask myself,
5:24
Speaker 1: does Kat know where Alice is going? Or does she
5:27
Speaker 1: not wonder? And is it not weird to Kat that
5:30
Speaker 1: she only has access to Alice when Alice appears in
5:33
Speaker 1: her field? Yeah, Like there's no phone number, Like we
5:36
Speaker 1: all we know that Kat talks on the phone, right,
5:40
Speaker 1: she doesn't have Alice's phone number. She can't. Like she's
5:43
Speaker 1: never been to her house. Alice clearly lives within walking distance,
5:48
Speaker 1: and she's never wondered where it is. Mm hmm. Yeah,
5:51
Speaker 1: this is again we have to suspend disbelief. Yes, so
5:57
Speaker 1: Kat watches Alice dive back into the pond with e
6:00
Speaker 1: This is the thing that Alice has done regularly now.
6:02
Speaker 1: And one thing I notice is Kat appears to be
6:04
Speaker 1: dry at this point. I'm sitting in that field for
6:06
Speaker 1: a while. But before Kat follows Alice back to the
6:09
Speaker 1: present day, we hear giggling, and Kat follows the sound.
6:13
Speaker 1: She sees a boy running through the woods, and Cat
6:16
Speaker 1: comes upon her childhood home. She sees the boat and
6:20
Speaker 1: the house and the gut punch of Jacob and Colton.
6:24
Speaker 1: Right she's she's watching from afar and here a scene
6:30
Speaker 1: that literally brought me to tears is she's watching Colton
6:35
Speaker 1: and Jacob tossing the ball around in the front yard,
6:38
Speaker 1: and once she realizes what she's seen, she drops to
6:41
Speaker 1: her knees and is just so distraught. And I'm like,
6:46
Speaker 1: this was such a good scene. Yes, Kyler, Lee strings
6:51
Speaker 1: it in this moment totally, totally, it was so good.
6:56
Speaker 1: You know. There's she's like clapped both hands over her mouth,
6:59
Speaker 1: like she's just like trying to keep the emotion inside
7:02
Speaker 1: her body, both because she doesn't want to be found out,
7:05
Speaker 1: but also her brother and her father are gone and
7:08
Speaker 1: now here they are in front of her, and really good.
7:11
Speaker 1: We get our opening title card and we jump back
7:14
Speaker 1: to present day. Dell's in a field with the cow,
7:16
Speaker 1: and this is the sweetest we've ever seen del being
7:19
Speaker 1: with this with this cow, ole miss and we find
7:23
Speaker 1: out that she is due to be calving any day now.
7:26
Speaker 1: And I feel like there's a lot of foreshadowing moments
7:29
Speaker 1: in this episode, because look, you don't tell us that
7:32
Speaker 1: a cow is about to have a calf if that's
7:33
Speaker 1: not going to be a pivotal moment in this episode. Hmm. Interesting.
7:38
Speaker 1: Right after that, Elliott and Alice are cleaning the boat
7:42
Speaker 1: and they're talking, and Alice bags on Elliot quite a
7:46
Speaker 1: bit if a weird definition of what school. Yeah, they
7:51
Speaker 1: have a weird kind of friendship, don't you think so? Yes,
7:55
Speaker 1: their dynamic is not student teacher, right, it's all m's
8:00
Speaker 1: not even like a teenager adult, right, It's like they're
8:05
Speaker 1: two teenagers talking to each other. Alice asks Elliott about
8:10
Speaker 1: Brady as a teen and Elliott seems kind of reluctant
8:14
Speaker 1: to tell Alice anything about Brady. He doesn't want to
8:17
Speaker 1: like tell her what she's going to find in the past. Basically, yeah,
8:21
Speaker 1: he doesn't want a frontloader with that information. And we'll
8:24
Speaker 1: find out later why not. But really quickly, you said
8:27
Speaker 1: that they have a relationship that's not like adult teenager,
8:31
Speaker 1: and they know each other as much as peers as
8:36
Speaker 1: they do as adult child. So that's a really interesting
8:39
Speaker 1: dynamic that they have going m Hm. Right. Della rives
8:42
Speaker 1: and she's surprised at they're cleaning, and we get the
8:45
Speaker 1: first mention of clean up this mess. We find out
8:49
Speaker 1: that the house is a mess. Everything's a mess, Alice
8:52
Speaker 1: is a mess. This will carry through. She's frustrated with it. Yeah,
8:57
Speaker 1: she's complaining to Elliot about the lack of help from
8:59
Speaker 1: Cat and Alice around the house. Yeah. She to herself says,
9:03
Speaker 1: you're happy they're here in spite of the mess they make.
9:06
Speaker 1: And she says, you know, Elliet, you could come to dinner,
9:08
Speaker 1: but the kitchen is a mess, and besides, Cat won't
9:10
Speaker 1: be here. Dell knows what's up with Elliott's feelings about Cat,
9:14
Speaker 1: and her advice to him is to play the long game,
9:17
Speaker 1: which is really interesting line, isn't it. Hmm? What does
9:23
Speaker 1: Dell know about the future. That's a good that's a
9:25
Speaker 1: very good point that I did not consider. And also,
9:27
Speaker 1: Elliott has been in love with Cat since he was
9:29
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, so I would say he has played
9:32
Speaker 1: a very long game at this point exactly. But it
9:35
Speaker 1: just raised my piqued my interest here because I was
9:39
Speaker 1: like that, what is she what does she mean by that?
9:43
Speaker 1: Does she know something? He doesn't. We're back to nineteen
9:47
Speaker 1: ninety nine adult Cat this year. Let me just stop
9:51
Speaker 1: for a second. My notes are crazy, They're like ninety nine,
9:54
Speaker 1: and I have to now write adult cat. This is
9:57
Speaker 1: not just teenage cat in nineteen ninety nine. Anyway. She
10:01
Speaker 1: is watching the Landry Farm from afar. She's she's seen
10:05
Speaker 1: the family being happy and they're having dinner and you know,
10:10
Speaker 1: kind of seeing all those things that Alice had experienced
10:14
Speaker 1: in the last couple visits as well. It's like, what
10:16
Speaker 1: happened to that family? Like that was a happy family. Yeah,
10:20
Speaker 1: Jacob has his polaroid and family is as loving and
10:24
Speaker 1: lovely as ever. And we cut back to present day.
10:27
Speaker 1: Dell isn't it outrageously messy kitchen? And she's talking to
10:30
Speaker 1: Alice and tells her, look, tomorrow's gonna be busy. That
10:33
Speaker 1: we've got a cow. I'm not gonna be around because
10:36
Speaker 1: there's a lobster social and Alice says, is that like
10:39
Speaker 1: Coachella for crafts? Is that funny? Actually? I thought that
10:44
Speaker 1: was a really funny line until I heard Dell come
10:47
Speaker 1: back later on and says, we might just take you
10:50
Speaker 1: to Burning Man later, and I might take you to
10:54
Speaker 1: Burning Man and Rita at Burning Man would be a
10:56
Speaker 1: sight to behold. It was just so funny close Allison
11:01
Speaker 1: that her grandma is not an idiot, you know what
11:04
Speaker 1: I mean? She is with it here. Yeah, yeah, that
11:08
Speaker 1: was really funny. And side note, a lobster social sounds amazing.
11:14
Speaker 1: Know you're in a heartbeat, right. You know how I
11:17
Speaker 1: talk about when we review our Hallmark movies during Christmas tire,
11:20
Speaker 1: how I want to go to a Christmas market, yes,
11:23
Speaker 1: or some sort of fall festival. Well, a lobster social
11:27
Speaker 1: sounds just as amazing. Give me all the lobster and lemonade.
11:30
Speaker 1: I would be there. I would be running it. I
11:31
Speaker 1: love it. Yes. We cut back to nineteen eighty nine
11:34
Speaker 1: and dinner is still happening and Kat starts to back away,
11:38
Speaker 1: but she knocks something over and Colton hears her. I
11:41
Speaker 1: was wondering how Colton would react, but he reacts very kindly,
11:44
Speaker 1: asks if she's okay? Does she need any help? And
11:47
Speaker 1: Kat says she shouldn't be here, and she runs away
11:50
Speaker 1: in tears. And I have to wonder, does this family
11:52
Speaker 1: wonder about the people who keep appearing at their home? Right? Interesting?
11:58
Speaker 1: I was gonna say he was so kind, ma'am. Do
12:00
Speaker 1: you need anything, ma'am? Can I help you? I was like,
12:04
Speaker 1: oh God, you're wonderful. Back in present day, Kat arrives home.
12:09
Speaker 1: She's wet, she's crying, she's reminiscing about what she's she's
12:13
Speaker 1: just witnessed and is that it is that all that happens? Yeah,
12:18
Speaker 1: and then we cut to the next morning. Alice says
12:21
Speaker 1: she's off to meet friends, and Alice asks Dell if
12:23
Speaker 1: she's seen her mom, and Dell points to Cat in
12:26
Speaker 1: a field, and this is the scene we saw in
12:28
Speaker 1: the preview of this episode of Kat looking at the
12:31
Speaker 1: polaroid in the field, trying to make sense of what
12:33
Speaker 1: has happened to her in the past several hours. I
12:36
Speaker 1: was really curious how Kat was going to play this
12:39
Speaker 1: with Alice. And Alice approaches Kat, and Kat, I think,
12:42
Speaker 1: is realizing what Alice has been going through for the
12:46
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, and she says, I love you
12:49
Speaker 1: and let's spend the day together. May tell me. Dell
12:55
Speaker 1: wants Kat get going. You gotta where, You've got a
12:57
Speaker 1: job to do, You've got an interview to do, and
13:00
Speaker 1: Kat kind of wants to blow that off and spend
13:02
Speaker 1: the day with Alice. I think totally warranted. Right, you
13:07
Speaker 1: find out that your daughter has been visiting you in
13:09
Speaker 1: the past. I want to connect and see what's going on. Yeah, exactly,
13:15
Speaker 1: I said. Next, we're at the Lobster Social, Monica and
13:18
Speaker 1: Kat are talking. Kat puts off her interview that she
13:23
Speaker 1: has to do with Monica, but she wants to spend
13:25
Speaker 1: time with Alice, and it's just they're talking here a lot.
13:29
Speaker 1: Alice alludes to having friends because their conversation is, like,
13:34
Speaker 1: you know, is Alice doing well in Port Haven? Does
13:39
Speaker 1: she have friends? And Alice is like, yeah, I have
13:42
Speaker 1: a really good friend. And I'm gonna have to guess
13:44
Speaker 1: that she's talking about young Cat, right, I assume so
13:47
Speaker 1: also right, So Elliott approaches and Kat's just rambling on
13:52
Speaker 1: about like the night that she has, and Alice goes
13:55
Speaker 1: off to get lemonade, but she bounces, I'm like, the
13:59
Speaker 1: kid just leaves. Yeah, I'm just gonna run back to
14:03
Speaker 1: ninety nine. I'll be back in a soccer So your
14:05
Speaker 1: question about is Alice talking about young Cat? Alice says
14:09
Speaker 1: she doesn't know how much time she has with this friend,
14:11
Speaker 1: which I think is a good clue. That's who she's
14:13
Speaker 1: talking about. Yes, And this is the point at which
14:15
Speaker 1: Elliott joins them at lobster Fest. I know it's the
14:19
Speaker 1: lobster social and Kat kind of vague books about what's
14:22
Speaker 1: happening to her has happened to her. She at this
14:24
Speaker 1: point doesn't know that Elliott knows, and she's so excited
14:29
Speaker 1: about her connection with Alice. And as you said, she
14:30
Speaker 1: runs around and Alice has bounced a by best friend.
14:34
Speaker 1: We see Alice running off, but she sees Spencer in
14:36
Speaker 1: the park. They stop and talk and Alice apologizes for
14:40
Speaker 1: flaking on his birthday, and they talk a little bit
14:43
Speaker 1: about like where they come from or what they're into,
14:47
Speaker 1: basically what Alice is into, like what kind of life
14:50
Speaker 1: she had before she came to Port Haven. And again
14:54
Speaker 1: I ask, where's Zoe? Good question, where's friend Zoe? This
15:00
Speaker 1: is interesting because Spencer says port Haven must have seemed
15:02
Speaker 1: lame compared to Minneapolis and the mall of America, which
15:05
Speaker 1: I think is hilarious that that's their like, you know, ooh,
15:08
Speaker 1: big city. That's gonna be a dig though, don't you
15:12
Speaker 1: think so? I actually don't think so. But it's interesting
15:16
Speaker 1: compared to what we find out later about other characters
15:21
Speaker 1: that Spencer is worried about port Haven not seeming cool
15:24
Speaker 1: in the eyes of like a big city girl, and
15:27
Speaker 1: Alice is not bothered by that. She likes it in
15:30
Speaker 1: port Haven. Right. Well, we see later about Brady mm hmm, okay,
15:38
Speaker 1: dell is setting up her tables at the Lobster Social.
15:43
Speaker 1: What is she setting these tables up for anyway, that's
15:45
Speaker 1: a great question. There's a lot of talk about the
15:47
Speaker 1: tables and set up. I never see her actually doing
15:49
Speaker 1: anything there, I know exactly. And then so Elliott comes
15:52
Speaker 1: up and he asks the help and Dale snaps at him.
15:56
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, lady, he is like the only one
15:59
Speaker 1: helping you out, Like stop trying to do everything on
16:03
Speaker 1: your own. And then we have the return of Rita,
16:06
Speaker 1: who is I guess she's like collecting lobster shells from
16:11
Speaker 1: the people who are eating them. But I don't think
16:15
Speaker 1: they're finished lobster shells because one of the lobster she
16:19
Speaker 1: takes from a woman who's like walking to a table,
16:21
Speaker 1: She's like, they're not going to eat it? What? I Yeah,
16:25
Speaker 1: this was weird to me. But at the end there
16:27
Speaker 1: she says she's gonna eat her bists, which I don't
16:31
Speaker 1: I've never made lobster biss before. But I assuming you
16:34
Speaker 1: use like the carcass to but I don't know. I
16:38
Speaker 1: have no lover carcass carky, do you need to make
16:42
Speaker 1: lobster back? I don't know. This scene was totally lost
16:46
Speaker 1: on me. Yes, but we do find out that Dell
16:49
Speaker 1: and rita kind of make up. They make nice and
16:52
Speaker 1: Dell tails her to knock it off. But we do
16:54
Speaker 1: find out that Dell decided that she is not going
16:56
Speaker 1: to sell the boat so and gives her it. Gives
16:59
Speaker 1: her a nice dig about like, oh, I guess you
17:01
Speaker 1: can't take your cut from it? Yeah, no commission from
17:04
Speaker 1: that one. So I'm wondering if these two have been
17:06
Speaker 1: friends for a long time, and you know, when you
17:08
Speaker 1: have a long time friendship and you like ebbs and flows,
17:12
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They blow to make it? Yeah, yep, exactly.
17:16
Speaker 1: We cut to Cat interviewing Monica about the reason behind
17:19
Speaker 1: the season. She talks about why they have the Lobster
17:22
Speaker 1: Social to showcase the local cuisine outside of the tourist season.
17:27
Speaker 1: Monica gets a text from Spencer. He wants to get
17:29
Speaker 1: out of his Lobster social shift to hang out with
17:32
Speaker 1: his friends, and turns out that friend group includes Alice,
17:36
Speaker 1: and Monica asks if Kat knows where Alice went, and
17:39
Speaker 1: Cat sure does know where Alice went the other night,
17:41
Speaker 1: but Monica says, Spencer and his friends will be will
17:44
Speaker 1: be a good influence on her. Right. Next time we
17:47
Speaker 1: see Kat thrown back drinks. She runs into doctor Andy
17:52
Speaker 1: and they flirt and they talk and she ribs him
17:54
Speaker 1: for not calling her, but he explains, you know that
17:58
Speaker 1: it's a busy season for him, and she like rambles on.
18:05
Speaker 1: Like in this episode, Kat rambles on quite a bit
18:10
Speaker 1: this with everybody, and then all of a sudden they kiss. Yes,
18:13
Speaker 1: now I wanted to say about this. He says it's
18:16
Speaker 1: birthing season, and she goes, that's a funny thing to
18:18
Speaker 1: call it. You don't follow up on that, you don't, Well,
18:21
Speaker 1: this again is another foreshatting woman. I knew in that
18:23
Speaker 1: moment that he was a veterinarian was going to be
18:25
Speaker 1: helping with this cow. I knew exactly what was happening.
18:28
Speaker 1: But you know, he says birthing season, and you don't.
18:31
Speaker 1: There's not a follow up question. Well, homegirl grew up
18:34
Speaker 1: on a farm. She wouldn't know what that meant. Yeah, right,
18:38
Speaker 1: they had cows. We find out later exactly. I mean,
18:42
Speaker 1: that's just really for the audience, I think at this point. Yes, yes,
18:47
Speaker 1: and prior to the kiss, I mean, oh, never mind,
18:50
Speaker 1: they kiss, Kat freaks out full word vomit from her,
18:53
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And she's like, all right, now,
18:55
Speaker 1: I'm good, and then they make out again, make out,
18:58
Speaker 1: they kiss again, They have an eye waterfront moment. We
19:02
Speaker 1: cut to the next day. Dell is on the porch
19:05
Speaker 1: the next morning and she calls Kat the makeout Queen
19:07
Speaker 1: of the Lobster social and Cat hope she doesn't run
19:10
Speaker 1: into doctor Andy again, which what why, You're done? You're good,
19:15
Speaker 1: that's all you needed. No, no, No, She's embarrassed because
19:17
Speaker 1: she had lots to drink and then she like made
19:19
Speaker 1: out with this dude before they even actually went on
19:22
Speaker 1: a proper date. You know what I mean. I mean,
19:24
Speaker 1: you're an adult woman. Un let's just yes, live your life, right,
19:28
Speaker 1: But there's still some sort of like embarrassment about it,
19:31
Speaker 1: I guess, right. Well, and not technically divorced yet either. Yes,
19:35
Speaker 1: but her ex husband has woman, you know. Delle says
19:40
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard to avoid him in a
19:42
Speaker 1: small town. But Dell does not tell Kat what she
19:44
Speaker 1: knows about doctor Andy at this moment, and she just
19:47
Speaker 1: asked Kat to go pick up those tables that we
19:48
Speaker 1: have no idea what they were used for from the points. Next,
19:52
Speaker 1: we see Brady and Alice are on the phone together
19:55
Speaker 1: and Brady's still in his office in Minneapolis. That's right,
19:59
Speaker 1: I have Brady in his office where he apparently lives.
20:02
Speaker 1: He encourages Alice to go easy on Cat because you know,
20:06
Speaker 1: Alice doesn't understand why adult Cat is so different from
20:10
Speaker 1: Young Cat basically right, and she starts asking a bunch
20:14
Speaker 1: of questions about Brady, like what were you like as
20:16
Speaker 1: a teenager? What was it like here when you visited?
20:19
Speaker 1: And we hear Brady say, you know, I am What
20:23
Speaker 1: did he say, like, I'm I'm a lot like I
20:25
Speaker 1: am now? Yeah, he says I was the same, and
20:27
Speaker 1: Alice says, well, mom has totally changed, right exactly, And
20:31
Speaker 1: we cut to Dell and Cat talking about Young Cat's
20:36
Speaker 1: friend Alice from nineteen ninety nine and adult Cat asking
20:39
Speaker 1: if Della remembers her, and Dell does not have a
20:41
Speaker 1: memory of her. She says she had more going on
20:43
Speaker 1: in that time period that's taken up her brain space,
20:46
Speaker 1: and she does not remember this daughter. This was a
20:50
Speaker 1: weird scene to me because it kind of comes out
20:53
Speaker 1: of nowhere, right, there's no like lead up to it
20:57
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's just like they're walking and
21:00
Speaker 1: they're talking about this Alice from nineteen ninety nine is
21:04
Speaker 1: I just thought it was an odd scene here. I
21:08
Speaker 1: also think, given how significant Alice is in Cat's life
21:12
Speaker 1: at this time, it's surprising to me that Dell has
21:15
Speaker 1: no memory of her. Yeah, but you know, like Dell
21:20
Speaker 1: also goes through like and she mentioned she goes through
21:22
Speaker 1: a lot of trauma during that time, and you need to
21:24
Speaker 1: just like blackout, like, you know, block out all these
21:28
Speaker 1: significant pieces of time and your memory for survival, you know.
21:33
Speaker 1: And we do have earlier conversations in this show about memories,
21:37
Speaker 1: you know, not being exact snapshots of the way life
21:40
Speaker 1: was at the time. So, yeah, Adele and Kat walk
21:43
Speaker 1: into the barn with the cow and shocker. Doctor Andy
21:46
Speaker 1: is there and Kat says, you're a bed. I thought
21:48
Speaker 1: you were a real doctor, And that's a super awkward moment.
21:51
Speaker 1: But one thing I noticed in the summit is Andy's
21:53
Speaker 1: cell phone ring is a cow bell. Oh I didn't
21:56
Speaker 1: notice that. And Dell clearly enjoys this interaction, and she
22:00
Speaker 1: enjoys Kat running into doctor Andy the morning after their
22:03
Speaker 1: waterfront drunken makeout. She enjoys the fact that Kat kind
22:06
Speaker 1: of made a fool of herself not realizing that Andy
22:09
Speaker 1: was a veterinarian. She just enjoys all of it, and
22:11
Speaker 1: Kat abeils it's so funny, because Kat says to her, like,
22:16
Speaker 1: you enjoyed that, and Andy mcdala, it made me laugh
22:20
Speaker 1: out last She was like, I didn't hate it, and
22:23
Speaker 1: it just it was so funny. It was so funny.
22:27
Speaker 1: We cut back to nineteen eighty nine and Kat runs
22:29
Speaker 1: into Elliott in the barn and asks if Brady's here yet,
22:33
Speaker 1: and she drops the bomb on the poor Elliott that
22:36
Speaker 1: Brady's her dad. And you just watch Elliott processing this
22:39
Speaker 1: information in real time that his chances with Kat have
22:43
Speaker 1: basically been blown out of the water. Mm hm. He says, yeah,
22:47
Speaker 1: I have met Brady and he's back at the hotel
22:49
Speaker 1: getting ready for his date, and Alice wants to spile
22:52
Speaker 1: their date and Elliott does not want to do that. Duh.
22:55
Speaker 1: The fact that Alice has not picked up on Elliott's
22:57
Speaker 1: feelings for Kat. She's just so in her own head.
22:59
Speaker 1: She's so like a self absorbed fifteen year old in
23:02
Speaker 1: this moment, she cannot think beyond her own experience here.
23:07
Speaker 1: And then on our way out the door, she throws
23:08
Speaker 1: a bag and clothes Adelia and Yell's laundry day. Yeah,
23:11
Speaker 1: her clothes did look better in this episode. I really
23:15
Speaker 1: Elliot's picking better stuff up. Yeah, we're still getting these
23:17
Speaker 1: clothes for us for her, you know. So we cut
23:22
Speaker 1: to Kat and Alice in Kat's bedroom and they're talking
23:27
Speaker 1: about Brady and Kat wants them to double day and
23:31
Speaker 1: Alice is freaking out because she does not want Kat
23:34
Speaker 1: to call Nick and you know, typical fifteen year old
23:37
Speaker 1: teenage girls stuff. I think. And in the background playing
23:42
Speaker 1: is a song by David Gray called This Year's Love,
23:46
Speaker 1: which came out in nineteen ninety nine. I love this song,
23:49
Speaker 1: we do love. It evokes weird feelings for me. I
23:53
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but it's a great song.
23:57
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoever is doing this on track composing the
24:01
Speaker 1: music for the not composing the music, selecting the music
24:04
Speaker 1: for this show, curating so good I agree, so good.
24:10
Speaker 1: We jump back to present day. Dell is unloading the
24:12
Speaker 1: tables from the back of the truck and we hear
24:16
Speaker 1: well miss mooing, and Dell finds her I have written
24:20
Speaker 1: in distress question mark. I don't know what cow labor
24:23
Speaker 1: looks like. But she calls doctor Stafford and she gets
24:26
Speaker 1: his voicemail and Dell's freaked out, and we cut back
24:30
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, they're at the point, which
24:33
Speaker 1: is really kind of funny. This is the first time
24:35
Speaker 1: I've ever seen the point back in nineteen ninety nine,
24:37
Speaker 1: where's the interior is different. They're there, they meet Nick
24:41
Speaker 1: and they make an Aerosmith reference, which is really funny
24:46
Speaker 1: because last episode we hadn't the name of the episode
24:50
Speaker 1: was after an Aerosmith song. Yeah, and the references as
24:56
Speaker 1: in last episode are not lining up with the title
24:59
Speaker 1: of the episode. There in right Good. Brady walks in
25:03
Speaker 1: and Cat introduces Nick and Alice, and Alice's first impression
25:08
Speaker 1: of Brady is that he kind of sucks. Yeah, Young
25:12
Speaker 1: Brady's kind of a jerk. Yeah, totally, and Alice is
25:15
Speaker 1: real disappointed, and we see adult Cat watching through the windows.
25:20
Speaker 1: Great at it to me, I was like, honestly, I
25:23
Speaker 1: should have expected it, but I was caught by surprise
25:25
Speaker 1: in that moment when they pull back and you see
25:27
Speaker 1: her standing there. Oh really, I mean I like that
25:32
Speaker 1: she's seen it unfold because you know, Alice is not
25:36
Speaker 1: gonna return and can't I mean, they're not going to
25:39
Speaker 1: talk about it when Alice returns from ninety nine, So like,
25:43
Speaker 1: Cat's got to see it for ourselves, right. We cut
25:45
Speaker 1: back to present day. Adella is continuing to freak out
25:47
Speaker 1: in the bar and she's calling Cat and Elliott comes
25:50
Speaker 1: rushing into the barn, and of course, adding to the drama,
25:53
Speaker 1: it is a thunderstorm outside. Yeah, we're back in nineteen
25:57
Speaker 1: ninety nine at the point and the server there is
26:00
Speaker 1: ordering drinks. They order two diet cokes, one Virgin cola
26:05
Speaker 1: and a house white. Now, okay, I have so much
26:08
Speaker 1: commentary here. First of all, it's two diet cokes, fine
26:11
Speaker 1: virgin cola. Was I was like, was there actually a
26:15
Speaker 1: virgin brand cola at the time? That's what I was
26:18
Speaker 1: looking at. Yesh, It had launched in nineteen ninety four,
26:21
Speaker 1: Virgin Cola by Richard Branson. Yes, I don't really remember
26:26
Speaker 1: this drink being on the market. Was it in Canada?
26:31
Speaker 1: Maybe you know the drinks market is so oversaturated. I
26:35
Speaker 1: think it would be easy to miss a drink launch
26:38
Speaker 1: pre social media. Right. Yeah, it was in the market
26:42
Speaker 1: for fourteen years. It was discontinued in two thousand and nine.
26:47
Speaker 1: That's brand new information. I don't think I ever had
26:50
Speaker 1: a Virgin Cola ever. I wonder if to serve that
26:53
Speaker 1: on his branded flights to Virgin Those were nice airplanes.
26:58
Speaker 1: They were nice airplanes. And then what teenager orders a
27:03
Speaker 1: white wine? I wonder, dude, you are fifteen years old.
27:08
Speaker 1: You think you're gonna get away with this a house white?
27:11
Speaker 1: What a jackass? Oh? So I order wine beer? This
27:15
Speaker 1: is there's so much happening here. So yes, the waiter
27:18
Speaker 1: shoots him down, recommends a Shirley Temple, which I just love,
27:22
Speaker 1: like put him in his place, right, Brady orders a
27:25
Speaker 1: coke and he goes I always get away with this,
27:27
Speaker 1: but I should have known better than to expect the
27:28
Speaker 1: same in the sticks. And I hate Young Brady so
27:31
Speaker 1: much right now, me too, totally. And Alice Rappid fires
27:34
Speaker 1: questions at Young Brady and this man this scene, solidifying
27:38
Speaker 1: him as the like he's gonna have to work hard
27:41
Speaker 1: to get out of this place in my brain. Oh,
27:43
Speaker 1: my parents didn't want me to go to Main Prep.
27:45
Speaker 1: They wanted me to go to Harvard Westlake. But Callie.
27:49
Speaker 1: Nobody said Cali, Nobody except people who didn't live here. Yeah,
27:54
Speaker 1: is so pretentious, so fake, and he wants to stay grounded,
27:57
Speaker 1: clearly ordering a house white in a diner as a
28:00
Speaker 1: fifteen year old. But here he is. He's got a
28:04
Speaker 1: bulletproof five year plan. And what's Brady's plan? It's nepotism, Yeah, nepo, baby,
28:11
Speaker 1: and Nicko's neb a five year plan. And let me
28:14
Speaker 1: just tell you right now, I love Nick so much.
28:18
Speaker 1: There's so many great moments coming. Where's future Nick at bratty?
28:23
Speaker 1: So do shee? I just cannot stand him at all?
28:27
Speaker 1: And we see adult cat watching through the window smile memory,
28:31
Speaker 1: like how great this date was. That's what's so interesting
28:36
Speaker 1: in these moments is that she doesn't see what Alice
28:39
Speaker 1: is seeing. She just sees the young love she was
28:42
Speaker 1: experiencing right exactly. But you know, obviously she can't hear
28:46
Speaker 1: what's being said from outside. Yes, so maybe as an
28:50
Speaker 1: adult she would hear that, be like what, But you know,
28:54
Speaker 1: it's all good memories for her. We cut back to
28:56
Speaker 1: present day and Elliott is attempting to birth a cast
29:00
Speaker 1: who is breach and it is not going well. Yeah,
29:04
Speaker 1: I wrote cowbirthing problems. The scene is too too graphic
29:09
Speaker 1: for me. I just can't can't with this scene. This
29:13
Speaker 1: is a girl who grew up in the southern California
29:15
Speaker 1: suburbs has no idea about birthing cows. Yeah, we're back
29:19
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine and they're headed to the movie
29:22
Speaker 1: theater and you see on the marque it's the blair
29:25
Speaker 1: Witch Project. You know what's funny is I did not
29:28
Speaker 1: see the marquee because I was rapid firing taking notes
29:31
Speaker 1: and there's a couple hints at what movie it's gonna be,
29:35
Speaker 1: and I wrote down, like, are they suggesting it's gonna
29:38
Speaker 1: be the blair Witch Project, which apparently was. It was.
29:41
Speaker 1: It's not the reach that I thought it was. Okay,
29:44
Speaker 1: I grow to myself when Elliott says like, oh, it's
29:46
Speaker 1: hand held, I'm like, oh, it must be the blair
29:48
Speaker 1: Witch Project. Anyway, side note, we did see that movie
29:51
Speaker 1: in the movie theater and I did get sick, So
29:54
Speaker 1: I get very nauseous by like watching stuff like that.
29:57
Speaker 1: I've never seen that movie. No, it's terrible. It's a
30:00
Speaker 1: terrible movie. So we meet Nick's moms, which I wrote
30:05
Speaker 1: down is pretty progressive for nineteen ninety nine. No, well, okay,
30:10
Speaker 1: the question is is it progressive for Nick to have
30:12
Speaker 1: two moms in nineteen ninety nine, because this is not
30:14
Speaker 1: a show being created at nineteen ninety nine, right, So
30:17
Speaker 1: I think if this the question is is it progressive
30:21
Speaker 1: for him to have had two moms in nineteen ninety nine. No,
30:24
Speaker 1: the answer is no, And this show is being created
30:26
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, So I just think it's a
30:28
Speaker 1: nice little bit of representation. Yes, And Alice is clearly
30:35
Speaker 1: not in the Cat and Brady, she's so over them.
30:37
Speaker 1: And Nick's just the coolest dude. He's like, do you
30:39
Speaker 1: want to bail? I'll go with you or you can
30:41
Speaker 1: go alone, But more fun to run away to catherm hm.
30:45
Speaker 1: And what's funny in this scene is they all head
30:47
Speaker 1: into the movie theater. We see Catch just like merge
30:49
Speaker 1: right into the crowd. Yet Alice is not going to
30:53
Speaker 1: see her. She doesn't have a ticket, right, I don't know.
30:57
Speaker 1: Sneak on in right. So they are purchasing snacks at
31:02
Speaker 1: the counter and Elliott's you know, selling popcorn or whatever,
31:06
Speaker 1: and Brady tries to use his mom's credit card and
31:08
Speaker 1: Elliott denies him. Nick comes in and saves the day
31:12
Speaker 1: and says, you know, my mom's owned the theater, so
31:15
Speaker 1: you know, just it's on the house, which is all good.
31:18
Speaker 1: But then like Brady turns around and bags on Elliott.
31:22
Speaker 1: I'm like this guy, Ugh, what a piece? The worst?
31:27
Speaker 1: And you see Nick the worst and Nick consoles Elliott,
31:30
Speaker 1: and I was like, what nice. Okay, that's a good friendship.
31:33
Speaker 1: So where is Nick? That's a great question. And I'm
31:36
Speaker 1: so spun out about this Nick situation because obviously Alice
31:40
Speaker 1: and Nick cannot be together in present day, so this
31:44
Speaker 1: is a real kind of like high low moment for me.
31:47
Speaker 1: But when he checks in, you cool dude with Elliott
31:50
Speaker 1: and thanks him for covering his ship. I also, I
31:53
Speaker 1: just want to say that if one of my kids
31:55
Speaker 1: wanted to date a dude like Nick, I'm all for it.
31:57
Speaker 1: So far, right, so far, so far. We're back to
32:01
Speaker 1: scary caff birthing scene. Del needs help, Elliott has to
32:05
Speaker 1: region and grab a hoof and once again things are
32:08
Speaker 1: still not going well. Yeah, I wrote this scene is
32:12
Speaker 1: too long and too graphic, Like I just I'm like,
32:15
Speaker 1: what is the point here? What is I mean? We
32:18
Speaker 1: get to it eventually, but maybe too too much, too
32:23
Speaker 1: much for me, too much for me? Okay say that.
32:25
Speaker 1: Back to nineteen ninety nine, Kat is watching Young Cat
32:28
Speaker 1: and Brady kiss at the movie theater and Alice goes
32:33
Speaker 1: and talks to Elliott out in the lobby and she
32:36
Speaker 1: tells Elliott that, you know, Brady is a jerk, and
32:38
Speaker 1: now we have like adult cat sneaking behind and she
32:42
Speaker 1: can hear their conversation, and this is where kat learns
32:45
Speaker 1: that Elliott knows about the time travel. Yes, and to
32:49
Speaker 1: Elliott's credit, he does talk Alice through this moment. He
32:54
Speaker 1: kind of takes a good neutral position and even though
32:57
Speaker 1: he does not like Brady either, Kat overhears all of this.
33:02
Speaker 1: Right back to present day, Ole miss is struggling, but
33:06
Speaker 1: Elliott births a calf and I cried a little bit
33:09
Speaker 1: in this moment. No, you did not look did you
33:13
Speaker 1: birth of anything? On TV? It was an emotional moment
33:16
Speaker 1: and Dell has clearly put more than her hopes for
33:20
Speaker 1: just this cow Missy into this moment. This means more
33:24
Speaker 1: to her than just a calf. Of course, we have
33:27
Speaker 1: an adult cat back in present day, and she comes
33:31
Speaker 1: running to the bar to confront Elliott about keeping this
33:34
Speaker 1: big time travel secret. And Elliott's surprised that Kat can
33:38
Speaker 1: travel through the pond because this is the first time
33:41
Speaker 1: that he realizes that somebody other than Alice can move
33:46
Speaker 1: through time through the pond. Mm hmmm, and so Elliott,
33:51
Speaker 1: you know. They squabble a little bit here, and Elliott
33:53
Speaker 1: calls out Kat for not taking care of her family,
33:55
Speaker 1: especially Dell, because she's making Delle's life harder. Yeah, this
34:00
Speaker 1: place is falling apart and you're not helping. Elliott's been
34:04
Speaker 1: stuck in the middle in two timelines here and he
34:06
Speaker 1: is being a good friend to Alice, and what spitball
34:11
Speaker 1: here for me? He's gonna go and tell Kat, by
34:14
Speaker 1: the way, your daughter's traveling through time by way of
34:17
Speaker 1: a pond, and that was going to go, well, there
34:20
Speaker 1: was no other way to do this, exactly like what
34:24
Speaker 1: what is he supposed to be? She would think he's crazy. Yes, no,
34:29
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, and Kat quickly comes to that realization herself.
34:32
Speaker 1: Delle calls them into the bar and we have a
34:34
Speaker 1: cute newborn calf, and we find out what many of
34:37
Speaker 1: us suspected all along is that Colton gave Grandma cout
34:41
Speaker 1: A dell as a gift and a dele had sold
34:43
Speaker 1: off most of the herd, but she kept her descendant, Missy,
34:47
Speaker 1: and this calf is the last descendant in this line,
34:51
Speaker 1: and so this was her last, one of her last
34:55
Speaker 1: connections to her late husband. Oh. Okay, but this is
35:00
Speaker 1: what's weird to me, Hare, is that now we have
35:03
Speaker 1: the cow, we had the boat. She's holding onto that stuff,
35:07
Speaker 1: but everything prior to that, according to Kat Dale, got
35:11
Speaker 1: rid of Did she get rid of it or is
35:14
Speaker 1: it packed away too painful to look? Okay, fair Yeah,
35:17
Speaker 1: but okay Fair fair Dale thanks Elliott for his help,
35:21
Speaker 1: not just in this moment, but just for the presence
35:23
Speaker 1: he's been in their family, and Kat realizes that she's
35:26
Speaker 1: being a jerk too, and she thinks him and they
35:29
Speaker 1: have a sweet moment. She squeezes his hand, which is
35:31
Speaker 1: cut short by the arrival of a fancy car outside
35:35
Speaker 1: the barn, and boom is Brady in the background. We
35:39
Speaker 1: hear that song again by David Gray. Brady shows up
35:43
Speaker 1: and he says that he wants to cut You know,
35:45
Speaker 1: he's there because he missed Alice, and he says happy
35:49
Speaker 1: to see me, which just takes me back to like
35:53
Speaker 1: teenage Brady, like I'm like, I don't like you at all.
35:56
Speaker 1: Now like this tracks adult Brady tracks now, oh right, well,
36:01
Speaker 1: and it's kind of manipulative. Dude, you have another woman
36:05
Speaker 1: living in your home, so don't expect your ex wife
36:08
Speaker 1: to be sponding all over you. That's kind of gross.
36:11
Speaker 1: But Kat has flashbacks to these early love moments with Brady,
36:16
Speaker 1: so oh, poor Elliot whoa whoa? And poor doctor Andy too,
36:22
Speaker 1: poor doctor Andy. I mean, if anything was to come
36:25
Speaker 1: of that. But now we're in a real triangle here,
36:29
Speaker 1: we really are. And that's the end of the episode.
36:33
Speaker 1: That's a wrap. And in the previews we see that
36:36
Speaker 1: Alice is not interested in talking to Daddy O because
36:41
Speaker 1: she knows who he used to be and no thanks exactly,
36:45
Speaker 1: and no new episode next week because of Super Bowl,
36:49
Speaker 1: so we have to wait two weeks for the return
36:51
Speaker 1: of The Way Home. Boo. I know, I know, this
36:55
Speaker 1: is really becoming one of my favorite shows to watch,
36:58
Speaker 1: and I haven't for a long time had a show
37:00
Speaker 1: where I have to wait week to week to watch.
37:04
Speaker 1: All right, So should we talk about Notice in the
37:06
Speaker 1: Nineties and Homie of the Week? Yeah? For me, the
37:11
Speaker 1: Notice in the nineties womens are all music related. Mm hmmm.
37:16
Speaker 1: You know you've got the David Gray song, You've got
37:19
Speaker 1: LFO Girls of the Summer, You've got the Aerosmith reference. Yeah,
37:23
Speaker 1: everything else. I will say, Alice's outfit when she comes
37:27
Speaker 1: into the barn, it's like a very like grunge adjacent
37:31
Speaker 1: with like the oversized flannel, which is a look that's
37:33
Speaker 1: popular now but was also popular I think at that
37:36
Speaker 1: point in the nineties. Yeah, of course. What else your
37:40
Speaker 1: course for Notice in the nineties, Yeah, the Virgin Cola reference,
37:46
Speaker 1: Blair Witch Project, you know. Yeah, it's good nice sprinkle throughout. Agree.
37:53
Speaker 1: Do you have a suggestion for Homie of the Week?
37:56
Speaker 1: For me, it would be Kyler Lee, not her care character,
38:01
Speaker 1: but her fantastic acting. She really made me feel things
38:06
Speaker 1: when she was reacting to seeing Jacob and her dad
38:09
Speaker 1: in the past. Yes, it has stuck with me, actually,
38:13
