• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hamewark review podcast. I'm
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark movie and TV fan.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I'm Wendy. I'm your former homework hater. Way to switch
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it up there, Megan All.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Today we are discussing season two, episode three of The
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Way Home, titled when You Were Young. By the way,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of song titles when we were young,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: This isn't specific. Okay, hang out with us outside of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the podcast on Instagram. We are at Girls Gone Homework
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and at Megan and Wendy.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Come over to our Facebook group. We're talking theories over
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: there for the Way Home. Super fun and all over
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the board.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Then, speaking of this episode, it is titled when You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Were Young. That is a song with The Killers from
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had to pull it up on YouTube today
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: because I'm familiar with the song, but I couldn't remember
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: exactly who sang. It was just so funny. But then
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I play it, I was like, oh, yeah, I know
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: every lyric of the song. To you, I pulled some
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of the lyrics, did you yeah? Do you want to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: talk about it here?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I think you could draw like a loose parallel to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: what we got here. They say the Devil's water. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: ain't so sweet. You don't have to drink right now,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but you can dip your feet again. And then you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: sit there in your heartache, waiting on some beautiful boy
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to save you from your old ways.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're talking about our brother's sister relationship there,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: but there's some mild parallels here.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I love it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: We have a new director alert for this episode. Our
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: director is Shamim Sharif. She has thirteen directing credit. She
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: did direct two episodes last season, and her additional directing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: credits include the Netflix series You Love That Show and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a Max series called sort Of. And I had never
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: heard of it, but the description is it follows a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: gender fluid millennial who straddles various identities, exposing the identities
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and labels that are no longer applicable, and I thought,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: maybe I need a new show.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I did read that this director is an advocate
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for LGBTQ representation in film.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And we do get that in this epide I know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I love it. Let's hear a synopsis for episode three.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, the Landry Women and Elliet reflect on what it
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: means to grow up as they hang onto memories from
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: their younger days while accepting who they have become.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Let's dive into some key plot points. A lot happens
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in this episode. I think, yes, ma'am, yeah, we got
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to start with Kat.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Kat does meet Elijah Landry in eighteen fourteen, and the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: information kind of cut that you fast and furious. We
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: learn he has a son, William and a grandson Jacob.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: That's not the Jacob we're looking for. There's a lot
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of clues in this house. We learn that Rebecca Landry
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: has passed. She finds the JAK logo on the table,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and then she learns that he has another son who
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: came to them several years ago, twenty plus years ago.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And Kat thinks that Jacob is her Jacob. And I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: giving that Kat thinks distinction because again I'm still not
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I I'm not one hundred percent interesting. Elijah's very lovely,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: treats Kat like family. He believes her story that you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: she's been looking for him all this time. But Susannah
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Augustine comes in hot. We learn that she is engaged
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to Jacob and she does not trust Kat, and Kat
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: can't really explain herself, except she does do a little
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: backwards flop into the pond and disappears, And I'm thinking,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this chick is gonna think you're a straight up witch. Oh,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you're right, Like, you can't jump into a pond and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: disappear and have the people in eighteen fourteen not think
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: something weird's up.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, They're gonna definitely think she's a witch. I wish
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: she would have like threw up two middle fingers right
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: then and like jumped into the pond. That would have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: been so badass. I still thought that that scene was
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: pretty cold, though, when she's like too, I thought it
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was pretty damn cool. Yeah, they're definitely gonna understand what
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the hell's going on unless Elijah understands. You know, maybe
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Susannah is not in on the she's not in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: know of the mystery of the pond, but maybe Elijah
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: is aware, Yeah, knows a couple of things that stood
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: out to me. When Kat and Elijah have their talk
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: at the house. You know, she's looking up the fireplace
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and he mentions about the stones being loose, yes, And
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, huh, are we going to find something
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: back in current day, like of a stone being loose
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and there's going to be something hidden in there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I thought the same thing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought it was kind of a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: weird line to include if it didn't mean something. The
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: other thing that I thought was really interesting was I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: completely forgot I don't know the lighthouse you No, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: will tell you that. I did have to write down
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: like a little bit of a family tree of who
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is who and who is connected to who, because it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: is kind of confusing with like little Jacob who was
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: named after Big Jacob, who's not actually their son.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's like adopted uncle, so to speak.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And where's William? Did they ever say where William was?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I thought he was right there. I thought when they
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: came out of the woods, he's like, oh, there's my
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: son William. And then William and Jacob go off screen.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Oh you're right about that. But why don't we know
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: William went? Why haven't they showed us William yet? Is
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he insignificant?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe? Maybe?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I mean they came at us fast and furious, with
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of information in that moment, tons of information.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: While we're talking about Kat because of this visit, she
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: does later request an age progression of Jacob and she
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gets one, and we learn what future Jacob might look like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so that she can potentially, I suppose, recognize him in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the past. And she also finds a series of polaroids
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: taped under her desk, and you have to assume those
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: are you know, when is the time frame that's got
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to be from her childhood? When are people taking polaroid Well.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Didn't I thought about this too? And I think I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: remember in season one Jacob had a polaroid camera. Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and he took a lot of pictures. So I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: those are his photos. Why they are taped under his
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: desk because she stays in his old bedroom. Why they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: taped there? Why was he hiding it? I don't know.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Unsolved mystery.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does seem like there's a lot of breadcrumbs
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that may or may not have any significance. The J
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and K logo carved on the table. Is that a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: message to her or is that just the product of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: an eight year old boy doodling.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So to speak?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: The lighthouse photo, so Jacob builds the lighthouse. Is there
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: any significance there because we see them spending a lot
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of time with the lighthouse. There's a lighthouse ghost tour
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that Rita's gonna do. They go on a field trip
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to this haunted lighthouse, Like, what is going on other
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: than that's the direct line between Jacob of the past
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and Jacob of the future.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I did think about the ghost angle, and I was like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is Jacob dead and he's the ghost at the lighthouse?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But then we have too many Jacobs. You know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think Jacob's dead, but I suspect that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: with so much talk about the lighthouse ghost, there has
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to be some sort of connection there. Yeah to this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: story Alistair Dell. Next, let's do Dell.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Look my notes say, Dell Horse neighbor Sam Bishop.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, Dell is mean to this silver fox who
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: shows up to help her with her tire. Be nice
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to the hot man Dell.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I just think that's who Dell is. She's very independent.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: She doesn't need some dude helping her out.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, stay tuned for my wishes on tomorrow's movie.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Women can be smart and capable without also being bitchy
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: writers and directors of the world.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that there was so much Dell
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and this horse at this episode that it was too much.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just okay, I do think.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: The significance of seeing Dell with this horse and these
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: ties to her childhood. It's the larger picture here is
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that she's happy. She's connecting to happiness again because obviously
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: she had a horse when she was a child, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: then she lost the horse because of her father's finances.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. She marries Colton, they're very frugal, they
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: don't have a horse. He wants to get her a horse.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: She's like, it's fine, we can't have we can't have
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: both of our dreams, or something like that. And now
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: she's finally getting the horse again. She's reconnecting to the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: things that make her happy. I think the bigger picture
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: here is that perhaps she's going to move on with
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: this Sam Bishop neighbor, because she's now accepting that she
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: can leave Colton in the past and reconnect to happiness again.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You make a really interesting point, because I wasn't really
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: ready to accept that Sam Bishop, we learn later in
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this episode this is his horse. I wasn't really ready
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to accept that because I think the horse in the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: first couple of episodes is a little bit of a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to use a term from yesterday's episode, a red herring,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of us are like, did the horse time travel?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Is a horse coming through the pond, And part of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: me is thinking, there's greater significance she talks about. This
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: horse looks like her childhood horse, and my brain's like,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: where is this horse coming from? And even once Sam
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Bishop says you stole my horse, I think that's not
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: his horse. But I think you're right that the horse
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is about a bigger message. And it's interesting that you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: think about it's about her moving on. That's not I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: didn't gather that, but I like that. The other thing
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I think is it's painting a picture of how she
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: talks about to Alice, about how she vowed to never
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: be in the same position that she was in as
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a child. This horse is bringing that moment full circle,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and she's gonna have to potentially let go of the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: land in order to be wise. I think there's something
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: there about her making responsible choices, and this is the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: childhood connection there. I still wonder if there's some greater
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: significance to this horse, though, or if it was just
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the vehicle with which to bring her and Sam together.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll just have to wait and see, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: we'll just have to wait and see. Oh yea, let's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: talk about Alice. Alice gets a job and maybe a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: new love interest in Noah. He is the recently graduated
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: high school graduate. Why that was significantly mentioned. I don't know.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: He's real cute, and I'm happy that Alice is getting
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: age appropriate friends on current day.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Percent is in my LIGs, like finally Alice is getting
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to be a teenager and not just taking care of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Dell and being her mom's time traveling sounding board, Like
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: let's have a crush, Let's have these cute moments, Let's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: have a first job, Let's have all of these teen
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Alice moments.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Right. But I wonder why they got rid of Spencer,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Like why didn't he remained that for her?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's gotta be an actor having other obligations.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Oh perhaps, yeah, yeah, I don't way.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't suspect that there's a bigger story there.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm super even in that first episode. Or do we
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: just hear his voice when he pulls up to pick
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: her up?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't remember. I don't remember. Hmm. Regardless,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I am happy that Noah has appeared. He's cute. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: think there's some there was obviously some like flirty tension
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: between the two of them. We have her time the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: last of Noah. Yeah, for sure, we will get Okay, well,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: let's move on to this. I'm going to move on
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to Elliott because he is connected with Alice in this
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: episode quite a bit. Elliet's having a hard time with
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: memories of his absent dad and how the Landrys were
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: family to him. We finally see him make peace with
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Kat regarding time travel, but he's still keeping secrets from Alice,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: especially about returning to two thousand. It has to have
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: something to do with that party at Lingamore.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. Yeah, he makes a very cryptic
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: comment to her about not rushing back into the past.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: People aren't going to be as you remember them. Clearly,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: something darker is coming for these two. Obviously Alice goes
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: back again at some point, but that's still more questions
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: than answers for me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I think this season is going to end with oh
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that episode, yeah something, Yeah that I hope. Yeah, whatever
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: is happening there at the mansion, that would be a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: good cliffhanger.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I agree, that's a great point. We have a new
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: character alert in the form of Casey Goodwin, the Goodwin grandchild,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and to me, they're like a Rory Gilmore Billie Eilish
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: mash up. They want to volunteer at the Harald with Cat,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and we don't get any more information about the Goodwin
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: family in this moment other than that Casey mentions sometimes
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: families drift apart, but this does keep that family in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the mix. In addition to obviously Cat having all of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: this material from the family. And again, since we're questioning everything,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I wonder is there more to Casey wanting to be
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: involve Do they just want to work at the newspaper
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: or do they want access to all these items that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: came from their family's estate.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe I thought it was pretty suspicious, like they show
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Casey have a reaction to Kat's conversation when a Kat
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: is asking about the age progression of her brother Jacob,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: like they show Casey like turn and look. But I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: mean maybe therese.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking for clues wherever they are because we
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: remain with so many more questions than answers. Yeah, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Alice hasn't really had a good friend in the present.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Her only friend has been her mother in the past
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and Spencer, who's gone and she needs a friend. She
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: can't just talk to her mom about her crush.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Agree, That's why I'm happy that they are setting Alice
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: up to have some relationships that make sense.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Is there anything else you liked about this episode? I do.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I have just a few little things. The scene between
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Elijah and Kat when he tells her she's family was
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: really really good. It really took my breath away, like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: watching Kat finally realizing that perhaps he has found Jacob.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I thought it was quite moving. Oh you
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: mentioned this either in the first episode or the second episode,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: but I love how they are incorporating the young actors
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: into the memories with the current day actors, Like you
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: had mentioned it with Colton and how like it didn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: make sense for Colton to show scenes with him back
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine two thousand, right, because we've moved
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: on out of that era. But now we're getting like
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Elliott and young Elliott together and they're having these like
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: dual scenes together where he's having memories of whatever. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: just love that they are doing that, that that these
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: young actors just that they still have a place on
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. I like how they're continuing that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really interesting all the scenes we
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: see of Elliott physically present in those memories. Yeah, not
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: just having the memory, but he's standing there with his
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: younger self. Obviously he's not actually, but the staging of
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it is really interesting visually super cool. I love it. Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And we still get some Colton and Dell moments, and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: those are really sweet and remind us of Dell's softer side.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed their horse moment I'm gonna get you that horse,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Deli and I thought it was really funny when Alice
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: is like, oh I forgot you were a horse girl.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: That's such a that's such.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: A twenty twenty moment. Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely something a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: teenager would say today. Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I love Rita going to town on that Lasagna. Rita's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: moments of comic relief in every episode are brief but welcome.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It's so funny because I hated Rita last year. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: remember thinking like not and hates a strong word. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: just was like, you're so annoying. But this year she
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: has come with the comedy and I am here for it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. Yeah, And I've been
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: thinking about Lasagna ever since that scene too, Since watching
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it looks.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Like so good, I was like, wow, it wasn't being
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: pretty good? Do I want to make that tonight?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It's sounds delicious. I'm so happy that we get an
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: introduction of Casey. I know we just briefly mentioned it before,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: but shout out to they them. I really loved that
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Hallmark Is has an actor, a non binary actor. Not okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I take that back. It's not a non binary actor.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It's a non binary character, which I don't think we've
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: seen on Hallmark.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure we've ever gotten a call out of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a non non binary character. I loved it. It's handled
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: very smoothly. It's handled as if it would be handled
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: in real life. When she just corrects her to grandchild
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and says they them, and Kat says okay and then
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: move on, y'all, that's just the way it is that
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I learn someone's name that now you know their pronouns
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and use it correctly exactly.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I just thought that was cool, super cool, And I
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: got to say I loved the the episode. It was
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a great cliffhanger. When Cat finds the photos of the pond,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I just I was like, oh no, now we got
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: another another layer. You know what I mean? This is
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: just such a layered show.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: They haven't missed a beat, really and real. Since we
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: have more unsolved mysteries, let's hop into the unsolved mysteries
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: segment of this episode. Yeah, and I just built as
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I have every time upon my list from the past.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: The horse was our number one question last time. Sam
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Bishop says it's his. I remain like five percent of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: me thinks maybe there's something else there, but perhaps I'm
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: just reading too much in Okay, do we know who's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the bushes during the fireworks scene? The answer is
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: still no.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Alice thinks that maybe Jacob painted the cat portrait. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: don't love that answer. Why it's so like Bozomy. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: just feel like, oh.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You feel like whoever painted that portrait there was a
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: romantic and there I.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Do my Catherine feels romantic as opposed to sisterly. H Okay,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: we don't have any more information about the Lcolmore estate
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: other than Casey saying families drift apart and potentially your
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: idea that Elliott's warning to Alice has to do with that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know anything about the soil. We don't know
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: what Dell was going to tell Cat. And we don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: know specifically why Dell gave Alice to the looking glass.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: She does read from it briefly in the beginning, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I don't have any insight onto the greater significance of
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that book. I think you covered it, and you did
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: mention earlier. Elijah Landry mentions the stones have come loose.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Feels like an odd detail to include if it's not relevant. Yes,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I hope start shaking those stones, Cat, go home?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: What could be there? Could it be a ripped out
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: page from the almondusas.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And they did very clearly show that ripped page.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: In this sew, but I couldn't remember if that was
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: from something else, Like do we know why that page
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: has been ripped out of the Almanac? Not that I recall, Yeah,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a ripped Hey, did I just uncover this
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: unsolved mystery? Is there gonna be a wadded up piece
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: of paper from that almanac hidden in the stones?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And the other question is why did Elijah and Rebecca
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: leave Jacob off their family listing in the almanac? If
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he was raised as.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Their own I don't know. And tell me why Rebecca's dead?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Where did Rebecca go, Yes, maybe she's not dead.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe she's in the pond somewhere.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe she's dell. No, Okay, she's read it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, if she if she, if she she's colted,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: No she went, if she went? Okay, wait a minute,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: let me just think this through. If she she died,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that with quotation like it's eighteen whatever fifteen,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Like nobody's seen somebody die on their deathbed, you know
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Like, it's not like if she just
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: went missing. He could be like, Oh, she died, I
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: buried her in on the farm, Right.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: She died? Or does he say we lost her last year? Oh?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I don't remember, but he says something.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Last last year. Hold on, let me see what I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: wrote a note. Oh, I wrote, Elijah's wife passed, but
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the word. I don't know if that's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: how I wrote it down. Oh my goodness, so many questions,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: including did we find Jacob? And I'm still giving this
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: one a maybe.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Look, I think it's a maybe too. I do love
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: this scenario. Of course, he would be an adult in
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: eighteen fourteen. And I love how Kat explains that kind
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of like aha moment to Alice like, of course he's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: going to be he's going to have aged. She was like,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for a child. He's not gonna be a child.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: It's been twenty four years.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that because if maybe the pond is
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: she he doesn't know that, right, because if the pond
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: takes her back to the moment in time when he
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: time traveled back, I mean the pond can take Alice
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: back to her mother as a younger person. So I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: don't think it's all that wild that Kat didn't realize
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: she's looking for an adult. Yeah, she's time traveling. The
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: rules are weird.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: The rules are weird, But the question remains, will we
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: When will we meet eighteen fourteen adult Jacob?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, soon, I hope, I hope so too.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: And so too.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We do have a two week break due to the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. There will be no new episode of The
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Way Home next weekend. And you know who else took
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a break as Gen Pike in There were no contemporary songs.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: There's background music, of course, but nothing in this episode
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to include in our Pike and does it again category? Unfortunately, Yeah,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I missed it, me too, well.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a really good episode. I mean
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: for a second season. You know that they say that
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: sophomore slump. Sometimes second season is not as good as
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the first, but I'm here for it. It's been really good.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, no sophomore slump in my opinion, They've really come
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and swing in yea.
• 23:11
