  Speaker 2: episodes like we do on our review episodes, but we
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: wanted to touch base a little bit about the viewership
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of the.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Debut of The Way Home. Yes, Hallmark Media put out
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a press release at the Way Home earn two point
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: four million viewers for its debut night. Let's hear asynopsis
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: or episode two. Episode two entitled Scar Tissue. Kat is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: presented with a book deal that asks her to dredge
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: up terrible memories. Dale wants to say goodbye to the past,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: while Alice yearns to return. There stars Annie McDow, Kyler,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lee Evan Williams, Sadie La Flame Snow.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: This episode opens right where episode one left off, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we know that Alice is still not home because Kat
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: is trying to reach Alice via voicemail.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same, It's basically the same scene we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: got last week. Right, she's leaving the same message we
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: heard in the episode. She's frantic, and we cut to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: these scenes of the house is a complete disaster, which
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is no time has passed? How all this time to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: make all this mess as if she's been gone for weeks? Yes, yes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that's my biggest problem with this episode, and we'll talk
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: about it in a little bit, but okay, yes, it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like she had just like the house is in such
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: disarray all of a sudden, It's like, why is there
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a rotisse chicken on the counter? Like you know what
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I mean? It just was like, wasn't she was plucked
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: out of like the house in the middle of dinner?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It was weird. I thought that was kind of weird.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I thought so too. And we see that kats things
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: are still on the banks of the pond, letting us
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: know that she has not returned. That's right. And then
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in the next scene we see Alice and Elliott. They
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: are in the barn. We are in nineteen ninety nine.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: She wakes up and she's like, mom, so and this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is all the while while the voicemail is playing, m So,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is she dreaming about this or she just yeah? Wakes
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: up In connection oh maybe, or does she just realize like,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: oh crap, oh crap, I'm still here in nineteen ninety nine. Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be freaked out, like you know when yes,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fall asleep somewhere where you're not supposed to and then
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you wake up and you're like, oh crap, I gotta
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: get home. I gotta get that out of here. It
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was minutes ago, yes, exact exactly.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We cut back to the present day. Kat is driving,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: she's talking to Brady, and she's essentially having a panic attack.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: She's obviously, appears to me anyway, dredging up memories of Jacob,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Jacob going missing and now Alice is missing. Obviously, things
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: with Jacob going missing did not end well, so she's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: jumping to a lot of conclusions here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And in this scene is the first time that we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hear that Jacob went missing, because she's like, I can't
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: do this again. So prior to this, we didn't know
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what happened to Jacob.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, we find a lot more about about Jacob's disappearance
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: as it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Were in this episode, right, And I don't know if
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you noticed, but when Kat was driving, she stops and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: out the driver's side window is the White Cross Memorial
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that is later visited by Dell and Alice. I did
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not Yes, I did watch this twice, so I'm I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the first time I watch. I watched for enjoyment and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: then I go back and I really like scour the scenes. Now.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: My question here at this point, though, is why is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: nobody looking in the pond? If you have a body
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of water on your property, it seems to me that
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: would be the first place that someone would go, if
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you're you talking about Jacob or Alice.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Well, Alice, at this point, they can't find her, obviously,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: no one has been there because they would see her
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: things on the bank of the pond. Oh, that's true.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They're not like looking through the woods for her yet.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No, if I had a body of water and a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: missing child, that's where I would go.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I will say that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: In the scene, I do believe Kyler Lee's crying face,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: but when there's they close up on her, there are
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: no tears.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, but she's doing a nice job. I am worried
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: along with her. I am definitely worried along with her,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and later on like she puts me up an emotional
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Berlla Coocter, Kyler Leidas as Cat. She's so angry all
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the time, all the time. I'm hoping there's resolution to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the next day. See Dell is standing at a body
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of water. It's not pond. It doesn't look like pond
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that we are used to scene. No, she's a pocket
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cliff over an ocean, right, and she's on the phone
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to like a sheriff or something. And she has pained expression.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And for me, this is the first time I see
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Dell show any kind of like emotion or expression or
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: emoting any feeling other than kind of gruff Dale, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent agree.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And in the previous scene, right before it cut to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: this scene, Brady said, how's Dell, and Kat says, you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: she's convinced everything's going to be just fine.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But we kind of get this.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Peak behind the curtain when we get to this scene
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that she might be putting on a brave face to Cat,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but is in fact pretty worried about this, to the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: point that she's called the police chief because she does
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: say thanks Chief.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yes exactly.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Cut back to nineteen ninety nine, we have young Elliott
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and Alice walking through the woods. Alice isn't quite sure
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to get back at this point. I was wondering why
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: she didn't just jump into the pond the night before.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: If the pond got you here, it would stand to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: reason that the pond is going to get you back home.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: But now they've waited an entire night to figure this out.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, are you fifteen?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Are you going to jump into like a dark pond
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: hoping that you get transported back to the present day.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point. I just don't know. The
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: pond got you there? Jump back in the pond? Yeah,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: on top time machine man.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: This is the comedic highlight of this episode for me,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: because Alice is trying to convince Elliott that she is
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: from the future and that he will help her and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: they will know each other in the future and she
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just has to get him on board now, and he says, fine,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: why don't you tell me something about the future, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: his next line is there's no way that guy becomes president.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That was funny, right, well done. I was like, hmmm,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I like you writers. That was really funny. And then
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: basically right after that, he asks Alice like, basically if
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he is her dad in the future, and Alice is mortified.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: She's like, no, dude, you're my science teacher. Yeah, she's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know, so, up until this point, I didn't really
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: realize that, like Elliott and Kat as teenagers had like
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a thing with each other, or like a one sided crush. Maybe.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I think you're right about that second part. I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: it's one sided, and I think later in this episode
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: we get more hints that it's one sided. My feeling
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: about this relationship is that to Kat he was her
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: best friend, and to Elliott, Kat was the one who
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: got away.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So Alice jumps
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: back into the pond, hoping to return to the present,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and Elliott jumps in after her, and he's keen out,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: where are you at? Where did you know? I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: this is where he realized, like, hey, this is some
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: portal to the future. Yeah, which must be super freaky
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: mm hmm.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And we cut back to adult Elliott overlooking the farm.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: He sees Alice running home in her borrowed baby doll dress,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and he's calm about it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's cool. He's like, well, this is going the way
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that I imagine it's supposed to do, and now he's seeing
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the beginnings.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Of it from the future, right that was weird. It's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: hard to wrap my brain around the timeline.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Of how all this works. I agree, I agree. Sometimes
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I just have to like put it aside, like don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: ask too many questions. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So here we
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: get the opening child the Way Home, but we have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: no opening music like we had last week. No, I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: kind of disappointed by that. I know, I was hoping
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: for that little you know that song to come back.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And a Cat returns home to a house that still
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: appears empty, and I gotta say that, like slightly swinging
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: porch swing, it just has like an eerie vibe to it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: When she's coming back home.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And then we get a flashback to Kat and her
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: dad sitting on the porch saying her dad telling him
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: will find Jacob and that a landry doesn't give up hope,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a line that will carry some weight later in this episode,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: right right right, So Kat heads back inside, she sees
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: wet footprints on the floor.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Alice and Kat are reunited, and Alice truly is like
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: excited to see her mom. She's hoping like, just don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: ask a million questions, It's okay, I'm back, and Kat
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is pissed. She you know she wants an explanation, She
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: wants to know where her kid was at. And now
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: she basically assumes that Alice was trying to get back
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: home to her dad. Right, But Alice doesn't have like
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a real explanation of where she's at. So so Kat's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: just smoke is coming out of her ears. Basically, Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So Alice says, I'm so sorry, I was trying to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: get back home, and Kat misinterprets that. Now, there was
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a brief moment where Kat was more relieved than angry,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and then once that passes and she realizes that Alice
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is whole in front of her, and she loses it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, I could, I can, I can relate
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to that. Sure, glad you're here. Now, don't ever do
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that again, right Exactly the next thing, we see Dell
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: at the table and she's relieved, she's relieved that Alice
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: is home. She can hear Cat and Alice fighting in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the background, and you can see like the relief on
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: her face. But as soon as Kat walks in, Dell
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fronts and is like, I told you everything will be okay. Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The acting there is impeccable because you see her take
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this steadying breath, She's okay, and now she's like, oh no,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I gotta be tough guy again. Yeah, I'm like, is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: it too soon to talk about Emmy nominations for Amy mcdowells.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: My goodness, what if that be such a win for
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Hallmark that he's so cool, wouldn't it? I love it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: In the previous scene, Alice was grounded and she's told
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: she's only going.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: To school and that's it. So we cut to Alice
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: at school. She's going to school even though she was
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: missing all night, and the kids are staring because not
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: only is she the girl who pulled the fire alarm
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and apparently is rumored to have been an arsivist, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: she's also the girl who ran away. Now, I mean,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: good news travels fast in that town. Bad news travels fast.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Seriously, I mean, because I feel like we're only like
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: one day the next day after she started school the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: day before. Yes, it's been two days, and this poor
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: girl is yeah, okay in good news. Though at school
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: she does appear to have two friends, Spencer and Zoe,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and I am looking forward to the role these two
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: are going to play in her life. That's good. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna round out her character, like, as a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: fifteen year old, you need other peers in her life.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, not just your mom and your grandma. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be interesting how they incorporate them
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: into the story. And I think we already, yeah, here
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it is. I think we're already seeing a little bit
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of that because he shows Alice that picture of his
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of his mom and her mom as teenagers. Yeah, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you kind of see a softening in Alice's face. She's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: happy to see this. And I think in the earlier
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: scene when she saw her mom and her mom was yelling,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: she said, what happened to you? Because she's seen this bright,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: happy teenager who was her peer in the past, and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: now her mom is angry and scared and tough, right exactly.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Cut back to the farm, Dell is talking with her
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: friend Rita. They're canning honey, packaging honey from.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Dell's bees, and Rita's pissed. She's mad that Alice ran away,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and she thinks Della is ignoring her feelings. And I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: gotta say, Rita, she's going to have to earn my love.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: She doesn't take any share basically, right, She tells Dell,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like if your kid is gonna mess up all the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: good work like you've done to yourself, Like she's gonna
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: have to answer to me, you know. Yeah, And I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: wonder Okay, According to Rita, Dell has done some healing.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: From an outsider's perspective, it feels like Dell's healing is
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: ignoring the past. Now we come to find out she
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: has taken some concrete steps to provide herself closure. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of healing that still needs
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to be done, based on certain things at the house,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the way Jacob and Colton have been erased from the house.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But also doesn't Dell need to do some healing of
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: her relationship with her daughter because m hmmm, Kat experienced
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this too. I don't think they can heal in like
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: two parallel lines. At some point those two things need
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to cross. Yeah, I agree. This was a little this
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: whole scene here with the friend talking about the healing
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that Dale has already done. It was different than what
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we saw in episode one, And I feel like the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Dell that we got in episode one was like real
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: tough end, you know what I mean. And so now
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: we have Adele who's on her path of healing from
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the timing is like weird for me, But I.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Think the difference here is that the Dell we saw
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: in episode one, we really only saw her in relationship
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to Cat and Alice, who she has this wall up
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to protect herself from the past and those feelings. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: this Dell is with her friend who has experienced the
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: past twenty years with her and knows more.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And I think this is more the real Dell in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this moment, okay, And at the end, Rita alludes to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: something happening this weekend. We don't know what it is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: going to be yet.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Right last week, I think it was assumed that it
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: was a foregone conclusion that Elliott had sent the letter,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: but I think this scene cements that it is still
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a mystery that remains to be solved.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Because Dele accuses Rita up sending the letter, Rita insists
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: she doesn't. They bring up the letter multiple times throughout
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the episode, and no one has claimed ownership for the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: sending up the letter at this point. Right. I have
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: some comments on that later on. Okay, Okay. The next
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: scene we have Kat in her bedroom looking at an
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: old photo of her in nineteen ninety nine. Alice it's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that polaroid that her brother had taken. And her ex
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: calls and he wants to know, like what the status
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of Alice is, and she's like, oh shit, I forgot
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to call you. Yeah, wow, she's back at school. It's
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: all good, Like we're all good here. You know. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: thought that was kind of funny. I thought it was
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: funny too, But I think Brady handles this better than
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I would. Yeah, see me in the loop if she's missing,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I'm over here freaking out. You need to agree. But
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he's kind of an idiot me a little bit. So
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: he deserved it. I don't want to say he deserved it,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, if he's so concerned, he
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: needs to come out there and start looking for Alice himself,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, good point.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's still sitting in his office, so he's not
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that worried about it. Kat does offer to come home
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: because it's not working. And again, I remind you, it's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: been two days. Change takes time.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I wrote that to quote it's not working. It's been
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: two days, right, Like it's gonna take a minute, jeez, Louise. People,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and Brady has an idea. He has a proposition.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: There's a publishing house that wants Kat to write her
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: family story, and I already know Dell is not going
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to like this information.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Right, And this is funny? He says, like the publisher's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: looking or likes cold cases, True crime, family saga, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like cold cases true crime? What are we getting
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: into here with Jacob? You know?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: And Cat seems to think there's some sort of ulterior
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: motive here. She's not really into Brady helping her out.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: She says, you're with Rachel. I can find my own
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: book Deal's Cat, clearly you cannot take the help where
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you can get it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It has only been less than twenty four hours that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: she started looking for a book deal though, So this
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is true, This is true what I did? Right? How's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that working out for you? Kat?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, keep your options open exactly. Fade out on
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the ceiling with the glow and the dark stars.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: The next scene is maybe one of my favorite scenes. Yes,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Alice barges into the teacher's lounge and she says, we
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: need to talk about last night, and Elliott turns around,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and the expression on his face and the teachers behind
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: him was so awesome.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great comedic timing, and then cut to
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: a commercial break.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: We come back and he's like, do you know what
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that looked like? And then says, let's talk but with
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: this door very wide open. That was so funny. It
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was I get that, like a teacher student relationship is
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: not funny, but I just thought that it was funny.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I yes, knowing that it's all innocent, it is funny
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and hot damn. In this scene, I gotta say, Elliott
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: also a wowie's awie.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, welcome to the Club's his what's his name? His
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: name is Evan Williams.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, welcome to the club Evan. And they danced around
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: her recent time travel.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: There's a do you know what I know that you know?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And they finally realize that she knows, and then she goes.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Alice has a realization that the her mom's childhood friend
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Alice is who Alice is named after, and she's like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: she named me after me?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny. And this is where my brain twists again,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: me too, same too, because Ellie continues to tell like, oh, well,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: memories and it was kind of confusing, like the explanation
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that he told her on why cat can't remember Alice.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he says, memories are mercurial. Brain remembers what it
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: needs to remember. Or this is just a convenient way
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to explain away time travel and the fact that she
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is visiting her own mother.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: And during this whole conversation he says to her, time
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: travel only works for you, but he doesn't know why.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So is this a clue that Dell is not the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: woman in the opening scene of last week's Remember where
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: there was some theories that maybe Dell was the time
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: travel or two. But I think it had to have
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: been Alice in that opening scene back in eighteen whatever.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I originally speculated that it was Alice. Yes, further thinking,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I thought it could be Dell. Some one of these
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: women is potentially the White Witch. But we also know
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that when he says time travel only works for you,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: we know that he hasn't tested it with everybody, but
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: he knows that it doesn't work for him. True, So
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: it's possible that Dell time traveled and just hasn't shared
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: this information with mister Augustine. That's true. I don't think
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: we know everything, but we do know that time while
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: she's gone and time when she is away. They move
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: at the same pace. So if she's gone for eight hours,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: she is gone for eight hours, so she needs to
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: be smart about when she time travels.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be interesting, right, or she I'm in
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the library for the next six hours, I'll see you later. Like,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: how is she gonna explain away her where she's at
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in present day? Right? And she's she.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Only going to time pravel at night when she should
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: be sleeping. This is going to be complicated. And then
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: she tells Elliott that she met Jacob and you can
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: see in Elliott's face that this affects him.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: This is this is more than just traveling back to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: meet your mother to understand her who as she is
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: as a human, which I think is a really compelling story.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: This is you have an uncle who didn't live past
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: age nine, and you have a grandfather, and nobody talks
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: about what happened to Jacob, and nobody talks about what
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: happened to Coulton, and there's a lot of grief wrapped
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: up in those two so kind of getting into the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: thick of it. Cut back to Cat going through the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Jacob box and she finds a notebook with what is
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: their superhero logo? Essentially right. I mean, basically she's just
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: having these memories of Jacob and their life together. But
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Dell walks in and Delle doesn't want anything to do
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with it, and she tells Kat again she's basically kind
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: of accusatory to Cat, I believe, which makes me wonder
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: like at this point, I'm like, did Cat have something
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to do with him going missing? Or like, what is
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the anger with Cat?
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Well, in doubt, we do know something a little bit
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: more about that a little bit later than this episode, right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: But you know, Delle just wants to spend it right
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: back on Cat. She wants to talk about Cat. She
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: does not want to talk about Jacob. She doesn't think
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Cat is meeting her halfway again. It has been two days,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have her life back together, she doesn't have
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a job, give her a minute. Everybody needs to just chill.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But Delle says, if you're gonna be here, might as
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: well make yourself useful, and then Dell feeds her to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the wolves. Okay, so yes, we see Kat goes to
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the point, I believe, and she walks in and she
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: sees Monica, who is her school rival, basically lost. There
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: are we to believe that Monica, the school rival at
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the point, is the mom of Spencer at school, Alice's friend,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: so I.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Don't think this is fully made clear in the episode. However,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: on imb, their character's last names are both Hill, so
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I believe the answer to that question is yes, Monica
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: is friend Spencer's mother, and Okay, I have a question.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Though they were friends at one point, right, they were
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: friends at one point. Now, in that conversation with Kat,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: she says that she married like some dude they used
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to make fun of. Right, do you remember that guy's name,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Trevor Hill? Okay, and Kat calls him Spilsky and she's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: making fun of him, only to find out, in the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: probably most overused comedic troupe of all time, the guy
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: she's making fun of is Monica's husband. Yeah, I married him, Okay,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: all right, So Monica's super bitchy. And basically it looks
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like Delle had set up this interview and Kat had
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: walked into it and did not realize that she was
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: interviewing for a job at the point, and once she
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: does realize that, she's like, oh no, I don't need
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a job, I got a book deal. She's obviously lying
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: about because she didn't want to take that from her ex,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: so you know, she just wants to get this chick
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: off her Jock basically said, I have a book deal
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: get away.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It struck me because Monica makes a snydermark about Cat
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: being in a rush to get out of Port Haven,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and it feels like, as is often the case, those
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: who are left behind in a small town. Made me
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: feel like those who left felt like they weren't good
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: enough for them. And I think Monica is getting a
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: little bit revenge because no, Cat's back and the big
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: city did not.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Work out so well for her. Yeah, but this is
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: what's so funny, is like, if you came across somebody
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that you were high school friends with, would you be
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: like a super bitch to them? I'd be like, oh,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I guess your life didn't work out. No, you're like
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: an adult now. You would be empathetic and like, oh, well,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it's nice that you're back, and like, I hope everything's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: working out for you. Great bye, you know, let's yeah
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: put it behind us. So the next THINGE we have,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: we're at dinner at the dinner table at the Landry House,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and to me, Della is a bit softer to Alice, Hmm,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Kat is angry, and I wrote, she's so angry. If
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you guys watch Bravo and I'm sure you've seen this
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: scene where Lisa Renna is yelling so angry, You're so angry.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: This is what I hear in my head when I'm
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: watching Cat. I'm like, why is she so angry? The
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: woman is piss off at everything, every scenario that's happening,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: like so unhappy.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Well, Delle thinks Cat is being too hard on Alice,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: grounding her. I am sorry, the girl ran away. Kat
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: does not know that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: She time traveled. She just thinks she ran away. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: she's pissed and she's grounded. That's reasonable to me. Could
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you support me a little bit here, mom, instead of
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: being like, come on, kid, need to get out and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: do things right right. So at the table, Kat tells
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the family about the potential book deal. She has to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: write her family story about Jacob and Dell. I'm not
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: so happy about it, not happy about it at all.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And this is the point.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Alice wants to know what happened to Jacob, and Kat
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: says it's not the right time, and Alice shoots back.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: But it's the right time to write a tell all,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: like you can tell the world, but you can't tell me. Yeah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: this is so weird to me because like I feel
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: if I grew up and had a younger sibling who
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: died tragically or went missing, I think my teenage child
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: would probably know about it. Like I feel like I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to keep a secret like that for so long.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: No, and she knows he's gone. So the point at
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: which she's asking about it is the point you say, yeah,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: this is the.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Hard conversation we need to have. Ooh, it's a secret.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So Alice, you know, she's fed up with Dell and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Kat like not getting the and she criticized them, and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: she says, what happened to you too? Because you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: obviously Alice has seen Cat and Dell in nineteen ninety
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: nine and saw that they got along and it was
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a happy family. And she's now asking, like what happened
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: between you two? And Dell says that's a damn good question,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and Kat responds, well, I think we know why we
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: don't get along, and Dell then fires back, but we
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: don't want the world to know, so don't write that book,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: which is weird, Like it is weird what is all
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that about.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Also, I feel like Dell's not taking any ownership for
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: her part in this because we don't know yet, ya,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: exactly why Dell is angry at Cat, although I have
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: my suspicions later in this episode, But Dell was the
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: parent in the situation and Cat was also a child
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in that situation. Yeah, so at some point Dell needs
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to take some responsibility exactly.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: We cut to.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Elliott and Kat having a glass of wine in the barn,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and there's a little moment that Elliott wants to mean
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: something and Kat is just trying to.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Find some comfort in her old friend.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: She rests her head on his shoulder and Elliott's face
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: is clearly like oh. But she tells Elliott she found
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a photo of her friend Alice, and she says she
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: now seems more like an energy than a person to her.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, because of course her brain's not going
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: to allow her to remember that this person is exactly
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: like her own daughter, right right. She also says during
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: this conversation she's like, Alice was there all summer and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: into the fall, and so it gives us a little
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: bit of like time frame that we're working with before
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Jacob goes missing.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, good point. The next thing, we see
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Alice googling Jacob Landry, but we do not get the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: results of that Google search. You know that internet doesn't
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: work at their house. It does not, and that works
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in Dell's favor, I think. And Alice gets a phone
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: call and she's still mad. She's still mad that he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: hasn't asked her to come home, and he says she's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: welcome anytime. And this is kind.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Of confusing to me because what is the custody arrangement here,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Like she's just going to take off. We haven't set
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: up a plan for when she's going to come home
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and visit. Alice doesn't seem to want to be in
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the same house as girlfriend Rachel, and she rushes them.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Off the phone. It makes me wonder about Rachel. Like
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Rachel is mentioned so much. Hope, like Rachel was a
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: friend of Kat or something. I mean, I mean, that's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: obviously a terrible storyline for Cat, but she's just mentioned
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: so often for a character we've never seen or know
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: anything about.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you there is no character named
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Rachel listed on the IMDb page for this show, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: there are characters who we have not met yet on
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: this IMDb page, so leads.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Me to believe we may not ever meet her. All right, well,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Alice takes off, She runs back down to the pond,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: jumps in, and nothing happens. And I wrote, could you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: please wait until your mother is asleep this time? Learn
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: from your mistakes, you know, because Katoul didn't kat be
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Like where's she go again? Yeah? Like come on, yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: think ahead, you got a plan ahead, Alice.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We have Alice knocking on the door of Elliott's pretty
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: stone house to ask him.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Why didn't work? And we find out the pond.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Works in mysterious ways. So it's not just whenever you
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: want to time travel, the pond has to want it too.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So here is my notice in the nineties and Megan,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you if you caught it or not. Okay, okay.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: So Elliott and Alice they're talking, right, and he's she's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: asking him all the questions, like well, tell me why
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the pond doesn't work, and like you're supposed to be
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: my guru or something. Give a guy a little time
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: to be the Giles to your Buffy. All right, Oh,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: nice catch? And Alice goes the who to my what
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and Elliott respond I cry for gen Z. And this
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: is the best line in the entire show for me,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: because I was a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and Giles was like he was the know all, like
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that's who she went to for all the information, just
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: like Alice is going to Elliott for all the information.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I just thought that was so awesome. And that's a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: great catch because we don't really spend any time in
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the nineties in this episode, so there's not a lot
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: else to go on, so that is impressive. Thank you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: so much. I gotta say I laughed out loud when
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I heard it. I'm so glad.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Well, we cut to the next morning in this episode
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: and Dell hands Alice a box of jars of honey,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, she was supposed to do with that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: But then we see in the next scene they're in
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: a farmer's market, and I had to tell you, Dell
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: at the farmers market is not the picture I had
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: of this woman who so far has been angry and crabby.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: M hmm. Totally a different person, right, totally different person.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: We see her friend Rita sells beechy Chotchki's Wooden Beach
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: signs like beach this way and Sandy To's full Heart.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: All you need to know is Wooden Beach signs. And
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I think everybody can conjure up in their mind what.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: She sells, and honestly, it's the perfect characterization for her
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: in my mind, like who she is. I love it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: We also meet Byron at this point and Delle's quite
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: flirty with him, and Alice recognizes it. Byron is the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: local newspaper archive guy. Yeah, and that's all we have
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: about Byron so far, so far.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, Byron's a little bit of a silver fox.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And we get a flashback. We see Delle kind of
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: touching her hair and Alice has a flashback of Dell
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: in that moment doing the same thing at the dinner
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: table looking at Colton. So in case we weren't totally
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: clear that this man might be a potential love interest
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: of Dell's.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Now we know.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: And we also find out something a little bit about
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the community here. Rita teases a Byron that he's a
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: newcomer and he's like, I've lived here for six years,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So this is a community that is rooted in its roots.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You're still a newbie, even though you've lived there almost
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a decade. Yes, right, right, right.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: We have Kat going into Alice's bedroom. Dell has left
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: her a note, but you know, Cat's kind of having
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: a moment. She opens up the Alice in Wonderland book.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: There's a line that's a little reminiscent of time travel
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: in there, and you know, I Cat just seems a
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: little bit lost, Like what am I supposed to do
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: with this kid? She sees the note from Dell, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: now she's off to the races and pissed again.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me stop you there. The note. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed, but it is on the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: same paper and has the same handwriting as the letter
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that Kat received. Well, Dell says she wrote the letter.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Later on we get that she just didn't send it. Okay, well,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: this is like a continuity issue for me, Like that
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: does not look like something a fifteen year old would
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: have written. No, I thought the note was signed from Dell.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I know, I think it was from Alice. Oh, you're right,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: it's signed Alice. Okay, I take it back, But I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: feel like the whole the writing and everything looks like
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the the letter that was sent to Cat, but maybe
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. They needed to have two separate PA's write
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: these letters.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Perhaps perhaps Okay, again, Cat's pissed that Alice is in
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: this park because we have flashbacks to Kat and her
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: father handing out flyers looking for Jacob in this very
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: same park.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Now, Cat, you came home.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Are you going to avoid every place that has a
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: memory of your missing brother for you? I'm not really
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: sure that this farmer's market in broad daylight is a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: terrible place to.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Take her right now, it's so weird to me because
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: like she's pissed about certain things. Dell's pissed about certain things,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like can you too, please get into a therapist's office asap?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Because right everybody it is to work out. Yeah, like
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Alice is the most well adjusted of all of you. Seriously,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Rita says they all need closure. Alice asked what happens?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Rita won't tell her. Then shut up, Rita like, don't
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: stop stepping in, Rita. Yeah, nobody needs me, Rita. You yeah, agree,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: And we are still arguing about the origins of the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: letter here. Yeah, exactly, all right. So in the next scene,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Alice takes off and she's got she has this bright
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: idea that she's gonna look in the newspaper archive. And
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, my fifteen year old would not
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: know how to work a microfiche. I don't know how
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Alice figures it out to look through all these newspapers totally.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Also like, we haven't digitized our nineteen ninety nine newspaper,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Like they're.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Still on microfiche. I don't know.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Is that still how newspapers are archived? I don't know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: but I agree my fifteen year old will be.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Like, is not on Google? Doesn't exist exactly? And then
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: like kind of at the same time, we see Cash
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: up at the cemetery and she sees Danny, who's a groundskeeper,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, who's Danny? Like, why are we introducing
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Danny here? She knows Danny from her past, but we
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about him.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: We don't find anything out about Danny. But I will
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: tell you he's played by Pace and Rock And there
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: is an actor named Bathan Hoffman on IMDb who plays
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: young Danny. So we apparently are going to beet Danny
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: in the past as well.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Awesome. I thought Danny might be a friend of Jacob's.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting speculation. Oh, interesting because I think I thought
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Danny looked like the groundskeeper. But was Danny putting the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: flowers on the grave? Well, he was certainly having a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: moment at the grave. It seemed like what we find
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: out later in this scene. And the age of the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: actor who plays young Danny again, all of this leads
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: me to believe we're dealing with a childhood friend of Jacobs.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Got it, got it, good catch, m good catch. Yes.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: In this scene, Kat's talking to her her dad's gravesite,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: but then like moves the flowers and sees that now
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: her brother's name is on the tombstone with her dad's name,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and she realizes that her mom has legally declared Jacob dead. Okay,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Yeah, she's pissed. It's
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: been twenty years. Is it reasonable to bring some closure
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to this moment? I feel like it is. I agree
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: with you.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, And that's not the healthy move
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: on Dell's part. And it's not saying I've given up
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: hope for my son, but at some point we need
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: to celebrate his life.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: H exactly exactly, Okay, ex Okay.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: We cut back to Alice looking at the MICROFISI and
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: there's a newspaper article that says, basically, the kat was
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: there with Jacob.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: He was there one minute and gone the next. Now
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I tell you, I pause my TV and read the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: entire article. I took a photo of it as well,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: because the first the first newspaper article she's looking at,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: it's a photo of Jacob and a Ferris wheel and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: it says, you know, like local bowl boy goes missing,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Please have no leads. And then the next image she
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: goes to you, it's like a full article. Now did
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you read the article just that line that I read
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: to you? No? I didn't, Okay. So it goes on
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about two twins. Now I'm like, was this
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: just filler in this article? Like for TV purposes to look?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Because I'm like, well, how did these two things go together?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, but they have. They also have an
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: interview with the police detective who talks about how nobody
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: has gone missing in Port Haven since the sixties. And yeah,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: it's very interesting. It brings up lots of questions. So
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I say, if you are looking for a rewatch, pause
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: your big ass TV on this scene here and read
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: this article and let's talk about it, okay.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: And this is the moment that leads me to believe
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: that all of Dell's anger at Cat is a perhaps
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: placing blame on Cat.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: For Jacob's disappearance. Whether she's doing it intentionally or not,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: She's blamed Cat, yes, and think about the guilt that
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Cat has been carrying around for twenty years about this,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and then to have Dell pile it on
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: even more is like whoa. And this is why I
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: think Dell needs to take some responsibility here, because again,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Kat was a child. Yes, she was fifteen years old.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yes she was perhaps responsible for Jacob in that moment,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: we don't know, But again she was a child and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: is carrying the weight of that herself, as you said,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: And somebody needs to relieve her of this weight and
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: this burden because there's a lot we don't know, but
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I think we do know that Cat wasn't directly responsible
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: for the disappearance of her Ba. Dell then shows up
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: at the newspaper and she says that it's time to go,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: and Dell is not going to be doing the hair
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: touch for Byron anytime soon.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I well, why, I think Byron did her a solid
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to tell her that she was there, that Alice was
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: there looking at that way, you think that he was
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the one who told her. Oh yeah, I think so. Ah, Okay,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I definitely think so. But again, it's like, what is
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the big freakin secret, right, Let Alice discover what the
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: hell happened? Like, why are we keeping her in the dark?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's fifteen years old. Geez, let's please somebody act
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: like an adult here.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm finding myself a little frustrated with that part
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: of the storyline. Well, yeah, it is frustrating.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: It is silly to think that you're going to bring
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: this girl back home and not have her ask questions
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: and think you can put off her questions for eternity.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's weird.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Dell and Alice drive home. Alice apologizes, and Dell pulls
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: up alongside the previously mentioned white cross that marks where
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Colton died in a car accident. We come to find
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: out three months after Jacob disappeared, and here comes another
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: win of a line from Alice for me. Delle says
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: she lost her whole world in that moment, and Alice says,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: your whole world except for my mom.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Again, get your shit together. Dell, you have another child. Yeah. Yeah,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: it's complicated, man, That's what this show should have been called.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: It's complicated. So now we have Alice at home. Dell
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: and Cat are arguing about Dell declaring Jacob dead, and
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Delle says that finally she wrote the letter. That was
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: never unclear to me. I always knew she wrote it,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: she just claimed she didn't send it. Okay, So who
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: sent the freaking letter? Then we don't know. It's a
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: buttery another another storyline that to me could have been
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: buttoned up by now unless there's bigger rapifications right, exactly exactly.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: But am I to believe that she wrote the letter
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: because there was an upcoming memorial for Jacob and she
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: wanted Cat to be there. She says, this is why
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: I wrote the letter to you, So yes, I believe
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: that is what we are to believe in that moment,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: And that's when she tells Kat that there is a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: memorial for Jacob tomorrow, and Cat's pissed about the memorial
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: because it will come on celebrate your brother's life. I know.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: There's just so many like weird things here because at
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: some point Delli's very much like does not want to
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: open the book to talking about Jacob, but I want
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: to have a memorial for him, which is counter to
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, it's just is sad. What's happening? Yeah,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Dell's mad that Cat hasn't been there, but Kat says
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Dell wouldn't let her be there. Look, Dell, you again,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: everybody needs therapy here. Why would Cat come home when
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: this is what she be coming home too? Yeah, exactly,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and she begs Kat leave it alone and let her
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: close the book. Y'all we need some resolution in the show. Yeah,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: at least with this part, right. Yes, Elliott finds Kat
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: in the barn that apparently has killer cell signal, which okay,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and they talk about Jacob's memorial and Elliott is the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: voice of reason here, saying, you know you got your
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: fresh start. Doesn't your mom deserve one? Right? However, so
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Kat got her fresh start because she bounced. Yeah, and
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: in here we found out that Elliott was once married
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: as well. Well we knew that in the first episode.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Oh because Dell's divorce. Yeah, that's right, that's right. He
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: like he started back over. He has his fresh start
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: coming back to Porthhaven. Is that right? I thought, that's
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: that's what was mentioned. He said, like, my I had
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: never really left, I had one foot whatever. I was
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: always coming back. Yeah, exactly, Well, he was always coming
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: back because he knew Alice was going to be coming back,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: right indeed.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: And that's a great point. That's a great point. He
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: knew we had to come back. But you know, this
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: is where it all gets kind of muddy, because we
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: flashed back to the first episode where Elliott sees adult
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Elliott sees teenage Alice for the first time, and he
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: has kind of a reaction. And I wonder if he
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: didn't know obviously because it hadn't happened yet when he
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: was going to meet her for the first time. So
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: was he always trying to get back knowing that at
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: some point in the future he was going to be needed,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: or did Alice clue him in at some point to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: when he would be needed, see what I'm saying, Like.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did see what you're saying. I gotta get
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: back because Alice is coming, But I don't know when
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Alice is coming or did he kind of know, Okay,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: well she's fifteen, so it's got to be happening soon.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of good questions, and we learned that,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: which we kind of already knew. Kat is most upset
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: because she wasn't able to protect Jacob. It was not
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: just about his disappearance because but she feels responsible. She
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: tells us, Yeah, right. Cat finds Alice in the kitchen.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Alice knows about the memorial, and Alice says.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I want to stay. Thanks for being willing to leave, mom,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: but let's try this for more than forty eight hours. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: So we next see Dall's putting on her wedding ring.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: She's remembering moments with Jacob. She's obviously pained. She looks
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: very unhappy, I mean, not unhappy, but she's grieving.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Right, So we have Alice on the couch. The next morning,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Cat approaches and it's clear that they're dressed for memorial,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: heading out for that, and Alice has found the Landry
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Family Almanac. Cat tells her, you know, that's where our
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: history is recorded, which is kind of cool.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: It is cool. I don't have anything like that. That's
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: kind of neat, and you know, considering how old it is,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: it's just sitting there on the table. It's like, that's
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. It's like the veil that
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't crumble. Yeah. Yeah, it's in remarkably good condition for
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: being hundreds of years old. Mm hmmm. So we get
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to Jacob's memorial. There's just five of them. I was
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: expecting more townspeople, I guess, or something. And we get
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: some background actors. These people have lived here forever something.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: It's Rita and the Elliott and the Yeah, I'm a
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: blue balloon and a balloon And I thought, listener to
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Michelle is losing her damn mind if they're going to
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: put this balloon into the sky, right, yeah, the environmental
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: implications of a balloon release are no good. But we
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: never really it did go up, but like we never
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: did see it like fly away like far, so hopefully
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: it was just a stunt, you know. And it's rating
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: because of course, oh sorry, and that was That's the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: other thing. Do balloons Will they fly away if it's raining?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think they hover around the
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: ground because the brain is coming down on them. Right,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: great question, great question. I don't know. This whole scene
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: was like really emotional. I thought, like Dell talking about
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: her boy and how he was just full of love,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought that I was very sad for her.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I was very sad for her too, and I had
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: another shut up Rita moment, like this.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Was not her time to speak. What did Rita say?
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't even remember. But the only
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: two people who speak at the memorial are Dell and Rita.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: It's not your turn, Rita, Rita. That's funny. No.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Delle says she wants to remember Jacob in love rather
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: than in fear. But Dell, you cannot remember your son
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: in love if you refuse to talk about him right right.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: This episode really had me frustrated at some things, very frustrated.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Next thing, we have Kat telling Brady she can't do
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: the book deal, it's not the time. It's a sweet moment.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: They have had a little bit of a breakthrough with
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Cat and Alice. Alice is having a childhood moment running
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: around with the dog.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone's doing all right, and.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Then Alice goes back to the pond and Elliott's there
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: and she wants to go back, specifically to see Jacob.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: She realizes she doesn't have a lot of time and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: she needs to see him right, so she jumps on
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: in and this time the pond accepts her, and we
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: cut to Cat and Dell in the Driftwood in Shells
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: living room, Driftwood in Shells, the airbn b, the Airbnb
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: of Port Haven.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Dell can't bring herself to put Jacob's death in the almanac,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: and Kat offers to do it for her, dating it
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: October twenty ninth, nineteen ninety nine.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Right, which I assumes the date of his disappearance. Right.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And this is the only scene between Cat and Dell
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: where they are tender with each other. Yeah, finally, Yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I hope, I hope we're headed towards that way, but
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, some of the previews seem like
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: we are not that way. Yeah, But we do get
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of a peek into Dell's true
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: persona because in her bedroom she pulls Jacob's Teddy Bear
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: out from under her pillow. So as frustrated as she
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: is with Kat for revisiting those memories, she's got some
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: of her own. Mm hmmm. That was kind of a
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: heartbreaking scene.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: And the episode closes with Alice finding young Cat and Jacob,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: and of course she's wet again.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Did you fall in the pond again? How we got
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to figure something out here? How are we gonna make it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: That's gonna raise too many questions. She gets invited to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: dinner and scene yes, that was sweet that they're like
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: running through the thing with Jacob and Cat. And the
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: show ends with a song called Flyaway by Distant Cousins,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: and we do get a preview of next week's and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: we see Cat seeing Alice jump in and freaking out.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: So it was kind of figure out what's going on
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: because she's not going to resurface. So who's the homie
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: of the week.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: I think the homie of the week this week goes
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: to Alice because she calls everyone on their shit. She
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: is tired of her mom and Dell what happened to you?
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: She's angry at Dele when she suggests she lost her
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: whole world when she lost her husband and son, while
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: essentially cutting off her relationship with her daughter. They won't
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: give her answers. She's gonna find answers, Alice. Alice is
