• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm Megan,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: former Hallmark hater. We're back with the Way Home Listener Mailbag,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: edition number six for season four, with your emails and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a voicemail to discuss today. We're going to kick off
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: our discussion with a correction from last week to a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: statement that I made in our episode six recap. A
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: couple people emailed just about this, and this is from Alyssa,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: who says the scene with Jacob and Danny takes place
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at the Landry farm. Note for the audio. I said
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that they were I thought they were. Yeah, me too.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, weren't they at Good Wines, Goodwins, Good Wines, No, ma'am.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Earlier in the season, Danny told Dell he would help
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: out on the farm while Jacob was gone, so I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: don't think he still works at the winery. Also, Jacob
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: came across as a little too blase in that scene,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: almost like sorry, I got you fired, but I've moved on,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so are we good? I think the show wants us
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to be suspicious of Danny, but I'm not convinced he's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: actually untrustworthy. I'm sorry Danny got fired from the winery too,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: perhaps because of his connections to Jacob. Okay, I also
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: agree with Alyssa that Jacob was a little blase and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I like that word was a little blase and in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that scene too, I'm back. I just want to get
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: my hands dirty. Can I stop you there for a second. Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling through all the listener emails here
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and there's not one saying, Hey, Wendy, we saw Sam
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in the background too. No, can I just say wtf?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I think someone said, like I missed that. Well, okay,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: go back and watch it. I feel like so proud
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of myself that I noticed it. Just wait, just wait, guys,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just wait, watch it never be touched on again? Do
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you remember from like Also, Wendy doesn't know anything. It
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: made this for some weeit. I don't know anything. I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: mean you're saying just wait as if you have details
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about what's going to be revealed about Sam. No, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: know nothing. And I also want to say, we have
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: screeners through episode nine sitting in our account. I am
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: intentionally not watching ahead same because I need my experience
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like I'm trying to experience it in real time. The
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: watching and then the mail bag discussion and then the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: new episode before is like, I know you have the screeners. Yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we do, and I have not watched. Oh I watched
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: episode seven because we're going to review that next. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: does it Let's inside baseball. When you watch ahead and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you're trying to rew episode, you don't want to mix
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: anything up and maybe give something away or make a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: connection out allowed on the podcast, right, I don't want
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to do that, Brittany says, No, I totally missed the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: coin Man posters B two deps, so go back and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: look at it. Yeah, or even on our website, Girls
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Gone homemarket dot Com. I put screenshots in there. Do
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you want me to read this next one? Yeah, we're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: going to talk about Alice and Max, Alissa writes, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: can buy that Alice and Max are friends, but I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: agree we need more show, not tell. They could have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: had a few flashback moments on the Scavenger Hunt to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: make that point. I also get that they had to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: fast track some storylines, so it doesn't work as well
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as it did with Kat and Elliot. I agree with
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all that. Yep, Jessica says, regarding Max yelling at Alice,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the speech she gave her very much mirrors Alice's speech
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to Evelyn after Colton picks Dell and rejects the record
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: deal in season three, as well as many other pushes
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Alice gives Evelyn to move on. It's almost as if
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Max learned those lessons from his grandmother, who learned them
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: from Alice herself. Ooh, that's a full circle moment. Huh yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Continuing to talk about Alice and Max, Francisco says, Okay,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this is going to be an unpopular hot take on Alice.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Max was right. She isn't going to get anything from
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not leaving Port Haven, at least for an education. Elliott
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: left and had a life before coming back. It's not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: like it's even a college town as far as music goes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's not exactly Nashville, so she couldn't do anything with
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that there. I don't think he's jealous, but just doesn't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: say she's living up to her potential. I say, go
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: off to college and if you want to come back,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: come back, and if you don't, there's myriads of opportunities
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: for you when you're young. Port Haven isn't the end
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: all be all. I mean, I don't disagree with that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: at all, but I do see where Alice is coming from. Like,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe she's afraid to leave home. She's afraid
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of the change. Also, the timing's super convenient. We're really
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a lot of mess at home.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I get what she's like. I can't leave now. I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a key to unraveling this time traveling mystery exactly. Kaylee says,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: first of all, I love Alice and Max. I thought
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they had so much chemistry last season, and I love
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: their kiss. I want them to be together, but obviously
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want her to cheat on Noah. I would
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: love for Noah to break up with her and tell
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Max he sees how they are together and give his blessings.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Very unrealistic, but very hallmark. I was disappointed with their
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: argument at the cove. I don't understand what the writers
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: are going for. Surely it's going to lead to one
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of them coming clean about their feelings. My hope is
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that Max is being so harsh as a defense mechanism
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to not show his true feelings. If you can't tell,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: This is what I'm most interested in I'm so interested
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in that last sentence. Of all the things in the show,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: she's most interested in the Max and Alis storyline. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: let's think about the relationships. Is there a relationship, a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: romantic relationship in this show that you are currently more
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: invested in. No, me either. There are other mysteries that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm more curious about at this point, but I am
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: curious about this romantic relationship and where it's headed. I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: going to play a voicemail.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Anna, I am so happy they popping you guys today.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I love you guys.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I love your podcast.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: This next episode twenty apart a be like all my
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: theory and they're going down the dreat The only thing
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: is I have to day about this episout is I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: hearing a lot of things about like, you know, why
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: would group fellow mean Alan be like he it's mad
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: because he wants.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Her to go to New York, you know, obviously to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: fane her dream. I think he's like, if he even
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: New York, I'll be able to get over her because
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: he's obviously in love with her, and I slip them.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I want them to be together so bad.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: But also, if Jacob and Abby get married, then the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: good ones in Lavery would be related by marriage, so
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: then they're kind of creepy.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, and I slip things of them them
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: having a bit of trouble, but I've ended up seeing
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I think that kind of trying to get her to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: New York too, like towards himself to.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Get over her because of the thankfully to see.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I hope you like, live a great day and thank
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you for much good podcast and make me enjoy the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: show that much more.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Have a great day, ladies, and we'll talk Keith film.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That is a perspective. I had not considered that Max
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: wants Alice gone so that he can get over her.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that either. But what do you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: think about the fact of like Jacob and Alice marrying
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: brother and sister. Kind of weird? But is it?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Not really? I mean when she said, like, oh, they
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: would be related, I was like, by by marriage. I mean,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you've seen like twins Mary Twins. Of course, Yeah, it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not that outlandish. But but maybe Alice and Max truly
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: end up just being friends. Maybe they are. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: we heard Casey say no, that's not my dad or
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you and Max aren't my parents, right, But yes, you're right,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So maybe they're just leading us to believe like that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to be, Like what, who's in a game? But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in game is maybe Abby and Jacob. I don't know, man,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's talk Cat's time traveling troubles. Alyssa says,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I've really felt like the show was going to give
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: us the emotional moments we've been missing because at the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: beginning of the episode, Kat and Alice were finally talking
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: about spending time together on the road trip to college.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I thought, great, the show finally remembers that Cat has
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a daughter and that their relationship should matter. But then
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the episode undercuts that by having Cat jump in the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: pond with Elliott. She's already been jailed twice and nearly
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: killed by the Augie Boys, but two days before her
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: daughter leaves for college, she still decides to time travel
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and hope nothing goes wrong. Then, to make matters worse,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: she acts impulsively as per usual and practically guarantees that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: something will go wrong. Yeah, Cat doesn't make great decisions. Nope, Nope,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that has been established.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think as viewers when we hear like Kat come
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: up with an idea we shall just be like, no, nope, nope, Kat, Nope, nope,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's going to end badly for you. And I feel
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: bad because, like, her character is interesting. I'm invested in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the character of Cat, but she makes poor decisions, impulsive ones.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Don't run out on the beach. No, it's not frustrating, truly.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another character on TV who's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that badly behave, Yeah, that you would be like, stop
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: doing that. Can you think of anybody from like the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: history of shows you've watched. Nobody comes to mind right now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm certain there's someone when every time they come
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on the screen, you go, oh, this isn't gonna go well, yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: The only person I can really think of is like
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Michael Scott from the Office, And it's not that he
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he just says bad things that are like cringey, you know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: but Kat does bad things also kind of Steve Carrell's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: character on Roaster right, like exactly, we're just put in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: his mouth constantly. But he's not behaving badly. But Cat,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say behave. She's not behaving badly. She
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: just it makes terrible impulsive decisions. Yeah, she's followed a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: little bit by a dark cloud kind of Yeah, Francisco
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: wais in. He says, yeah, you guys know where this
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: is going. Kat continues to be the worst time traveler
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and sets a horrible example for Elliott. For someone who
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: wants to keep hidden, nothing does that more than running
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: around yelling Elliott's name. And that was the loudest whisper ever. Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think about that all the time, Like the Tessa
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm here from the future. Everybody's watching you on stage
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: with Tessa, who was putting a show on. I actually
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: loled when I listened to our episode back of that anyway,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: would he writes, I wouldn't have been shocked if people
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in the back hurd it. Yeah, Tessa, I'm here from
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that chair. It's really funny. It's really funny. It's laughable. Hey,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come right back
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with more. Listen our mailbag. Several of you wrote in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do you have thoughts on time travelers? Discussing their plans.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Elisa says, when you were discussing Casey's openness about time travel,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I think you may have forgotten that Alice was open
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: with nineteen ninety nine Elliott in season one about being
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a time traveler. Older Elliott later told Cat and Alice
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that his life was ruined because of it. Oh yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: well that seems more connected to what Alice told him specifically.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I think Cat and Alice took the lesson to heart,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: which is why they're now so careful about telling people
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they can time travel. I had forgotten about the Alice
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: telling Elliott situation. Jessica wants to talk about Elliott. She
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: writes in an earlier episode in the nineteen seventies, Alice
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: finds eyeglasses in the tunnel at Lingermore. My guess is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: those are Elliott's glasses. Did this happen this season? Yeah?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Yeah, when she's visiting, when she
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and Evelyn, when they were down there in the tunnels,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like season four, episode two, Ash picks up the broken eyewear. Okay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So what is Jessica trying to sing here? That Elliott
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was there at some point in the tunnels at Lingamore.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Do you can you theorize why he'd be in the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: tunnels at Lingamore? No, but he and Kat are in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty five in this episode, and we know there's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: something coming in the tunnels at Lingermore five one in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: four went now yeah, yeah, oh no. Do you think
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Elliott is okay? Here, here's here's another question. Yeah, if
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: there's like an explosion that happens, just hear me out.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: If there's an explosion that happens in the tunnels under this,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: stay more not fall down one and Elliott's glasst say
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he's down there and those are his glasses. From nineteen
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: twenty five to nineteen seventy, these broken glasses have been
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: laying there for years upon years upon years upon years.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gone down there. Good question. Tell me what happens
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in all those years and Lesslingamore is like closed up? Yeah? Well,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: who would have been there in between Grayson and Evelyn?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. Where is Evelyn's parents? Evelyn's parents
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: would have been there?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Hmmmm? Hm is Grace and her grandfather great grandfather? What's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the what's the lineage there? Probably her great grandfather, Okay.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Jessica has some thoughts on Fern and Tessa. She says
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a few episodes back nineteen seventies, Fern lost it on Tessa.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: In the nineteen twenties, Tessa was apparently a beloved anti coop,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So clearly something changed. What if Tessa is ultimately responsible
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: for the reason Fern is a single parent? She also says,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You'll never be a landry. Does Fern know about Tessa
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and Griffin's presumed relationship before it even happens because of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: what happens in the nineteen twenties, That's what I say
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to that. It confuses me when we factor in Griffin
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: because we don't even know Griffin, right, we just assume
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that Griffin and Tessa jumped together and all this other
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: stuff about like single parenting. I don't I don't know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: maybe anything as possible. Yeah, I'm curious. I had to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: forgotten about that whole explosion that Fern has on Tessa
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, and that prior to that there was
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a beloved connection there. So know that we didn't know that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Now we do, but I forgot to put those pieces together.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: M goal for the ride. Don't try to figure it out, right, Yeah,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Summer writes in can we please talk about Megan follows
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as Tessa and we're talking about anti coop coupe, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Tessa we saw in the in the show, in the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in the stage, the stage. Futura contest food. That's it
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in at the circus, She says, Anne freaking Shirley. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: hope I'm not the only one out here who was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a fan of Anne of green Gables growing up. Saw
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: her name in the opening credits and got super excited.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I love her and I googled her age. She's fifty eight.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: If that helps with your math, Oh no it does not,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: because didn't I say like seventy. My apologies, Michelle writes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and Megan follows, as Tessa made my eighties and of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: green Gable's heart happy. I wanted blythe for my daughter's name,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: but I got Reagan within a nne in her spelling instead.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You guys, I feel like a real idiot because I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: never watched that show. I don't know who any of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: these people are. I didn't either. Michelle also wrote fun fact,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Netflix's Anne with an E filmed in the same place
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: as Landry Farm, green Gables, and Elliott's house was Gilbert's house.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Oh I love that when they when you recognize, you know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Gilmour Girls gazebo, Yeah, part of Dixie Man Paradise Paradise, Yeah, yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were very excited about Megan follows
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: appearing as Tessa. That was a big get. I like Wendy,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: did not watch Anna of Green Gables, but it was
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: very exciting people. She's been in a lot of things
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: as well. Summer wrote, I absolutely love the nod to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene between Jacob and Abbey,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: including the line what's in a name? It made my
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Shakespeare loving heart happy. I didn't I didn't make the connection.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I've been watching too much Bravo too uh, but kick
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: up on the nice in the post Julian era. Yes,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: more Shakespeare. Kaylee says Abigail and Jacob I hate this
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: for one thing, their barn confession was so cheesy and weird. Second,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: how old is Abigail? Jacob was eight in nineteen ninety nine,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: so he'd be thirty and twenty twenty six. Max is
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: presumably eighteen. Abigail could be ten years older at twenty eight. Third,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: with the show, really have two landries end up with goodwins?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I really want it to be Alice and Max. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: can't with them freaking ages and math Okay, but their
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: ages are not actually that complicated. There is no I know,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but I'm like no more math. Finally, Brittany says there's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: no way Lewis will allow a relationship between Abby and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Jacob because Jacob is emotionally unstable, which makes sense why
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Casey is a Goodwin and not a Landry. Ladies, we
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: now have a Romeo and Juliette situation going on. Abigail
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is Romeo and Jacob is Juliette based on familial grudges.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I was thinking this before we even got our balcony
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: scene and what's in a name? But since Jacob was
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the reason the feud began in the first place, with
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: his Helen of Troy Susannah being stolen by his arch
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: rival Goodwin, he could be the one to end the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: tensions too. Now we just need Jacob and Lewis to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: make real reparations, turn their backs on the feud, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: move forward with forgiveness. Will that happen? I think not.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Lewis already tried that, and in a total Tibalt move,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Jacob tried to burn down the vineyard. Y'all are real smart.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Why do we have a podcast
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: because these people should? My goodness? Yeah, I wonder if
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: people listen to us and are like, what a bunch
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of dummies. These chicks are like they can't see that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: there's obviously a Romeo and Juliet connection here. Sometimes it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: hard to see the forest for the trees. I'm wearing
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: blinders apparently because we're I think we're in too deep
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: in some ways, you know, I'm like dying on the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: hill of Like didn't you see Sam on those advertise? Wow,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: this is our last email, Emily writes, and I agree
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: with Wendy. Hey, somebody christmas me that the show should
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: have ended when Jacob came home. Oh yeah, I did
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: ask writers to our listeners to write in. This is
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the only one I got. I mean, nobody was like, no,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Wendy's wrong, No, okay, cool. I agree with Wendy that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the show should have ended when Jacob came home. That
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: was the narrative driver of the whole show. And it
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: feels a bit like they have been grasping at straws
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to make us care about new storylines in characters since
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: he came home. The second best place to end would
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: have been the season three finale. I think that episode
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: wrapped up so many things the nineteen seventies, the eighteen hundreds.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Dale gets to time travel and we see her wedding, etc.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I've been struggling to get invested in the current season
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: even if we didn't know this was the last season.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't been able to care as much about the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: current plots and travel shenanigans. That raises an interesting question.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: You and I have been trying to enjoy the ride
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: recent we've been watching this show knowing that this is
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the last season. We've been watching this show hoping that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there is some resolution. Would you still be watching if
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you were just a fan of this show and you
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: didn't know we're heading toward resolution in three more episodes?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Or would they have lost you?
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: No?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I would still watch it. I do think season two
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and three were better than the season m HM. Season
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: three was excellent. Well that's a wrap on this week's
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Listener mail bag. We'll be back on Monday with our
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: review of season four, episode seven. Manon already watched it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: They did. I have some hot takes coming in for
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that one and some predictions, so come back for that.
• 20:40
