0:00
Speaker 1: I cannot remember her name, and when I was writing
0:03
Speaker 1: down Clothe, I was.
0:03
Speaker 2: Like, no, that's not right.
0:04
Speaker 3: It's Sophie.
0:18
Speaker 2: Hey, everybuddy. Welcome to you Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark
0:21
Speaker 2: review podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy, and today we are
0:24
Speaker 2: recapping the Way Home finale of season one, not All
0:30

0:46
Speaker 1: Tons of new people over there. There was a little
0:48
Speaker 1: discussion about this finale episode not a ton.
0:52
Speaker 2: I think it's going to kick up as people are
0:54
Speaker 2: catching it on their DVR. Yeah. Plus, I don't think
0:57
Speaker 2: people want to like spoil right. Come on, Before we
1:01
Speaker 2: get into our recap, I wanted to share that we
1:04
Speaker 2: got a message and I apologize if it was you
1:06
Speaker 2: who sent it. I dug into my Instagram at DMS,
1:10
Speaker 2: I looked on our email. I don't know where this
1:13
Speaker 2: comment came in, but it was in regards to Kat
1:16
Speaker 2: using the name Rose and the grief support group, and
1:19
Speaker 2: this commenter pointed out that the name of their boat
1:23
Speaker 2: is the Delilah Rose. So apparently that's her mother's either
1:27
Speaker 2: middle name or it's a nickname that Colton had for her.
1:30
Speaker 2: I see, I see, I've noticed this is not unique
1:34
Speaker 2: to the Way Home. But like, typically when they choose
1:36
Speaker 2: previously on scenes, they're choosing scenes that will feed It's
1:40
Speaker 2: not like just last episode. Yeah, Like, let's choose scenes
1:43
Speaker 2: that are going to be about what this is about, right,
1:45
Speaker 2: So I want to tell you just what the previously
1:47
Speaker 2: on was for this before you.
1:48
Speaker 1: Jump into our recap. Tell me, because I don't know
1:49
Speaker 1: if I paid that close attention.
1:51
Speaker 2: We get Colton singing to Dell in the past when
1:54
Speaker 2: he's with Alice and Della's coming down the stairs. We
1:57
Speaker 2: get a way throwback to wondering who sent the note
2:02
Speaker 2: your mom. We hear dell is really said on the
2:05
Speaker 2: idea that there was another woman, and then we get
2:08
Speaker 2: Elliott mad at Cat that she's not here with him.
2:14
Speaker 2: And I had to say a real accurate representation of
2:16
Speaker 2: what we're gonna get in this episode, definitely are you ready? Yeah?
2:19
Speaker 1: I am. It opens we see the full moon, and
2:23
Speaker 1: then we see Coln's car crash again.
2:25
Speaker 3: Kent.
2:25
Speaker 1: Alice are running through their woods sobbing, coming out of
2:28
Speaker 1: the cold pond in present day, and Elliott there is
2:32
Speaker 1: there and Cat is screaming it was my fault, It
2:34
Speaker 1: was my fault. And I gotta say, like, wow, that
2:37
Speaker 1: was a great scene by Kyler Lee where she was
2:40
Speaker 1: like freezing cold, shaking king out yes with the realization
2:45
Speaker 1: of what just happened.
2:46
Speaker 2: Yes, I wrote masterful performance from Kyler Lee. There. Yeah.
2:51
Speaker 2: We cut to Elliott's home. Alice is asleep on the
2:54
Speaker 2: couch and Kat's talking to Elliott saying she should have
2:56
Speaker 2: listened about Elliott saying what has happened will always happen,
3:00
Speaker 2: and Elliott repeats that. Cat wonders if he would have
3:02
Speaker 2: died anyway, if she hadn't gone back, would Colton still
3:06
Speaker 2: have died? And this is the kind of time travel
3:09
Speaker 2: circular logic that again makes my brain short circuit. But
3:14
Speaker 2: she's telling Elliott Colton knew who she was, he recognized her,
3:17
Speaker 2: my cat, my Catherine, and she wonders what that means,
3:20
Speaker 2: and Elliott doesn't know either.
3:24
Speaker 1: That's That's what I'm find confusing and hard to believe,
3:27
Speaker 1: is because Elliott has always stood firm that like what
3:30
Speaker 1: has happened will always happen, but how does he actually know?
3:35
Speaker 1: That gets to be frustrating for me as a viewer,
3:40
Speaker 1: like he's not all telling it, like he doesn't know everything.
3:44
Speaker 2: I agree with you. There, we get some perspective into
3:48
Speaker 2: Elliott in this episode. Yeah, I will wait for but
3:52
Speaker 2: I think speaks to his firm belief that what has
3:55
Speaker 2: happened will always happen. Yeah, but like it just drives
3:58
Speaker 2: me crazy where Kat's like try trying to look She's
4:01
Speaker 2: like talking through it right, like she needs and I'm
4:05
Speaker 2: the same way, like I need to verbally process yes, and.
4:09
Speaker 1: I need somebody just to listen to me. Yes, But
4:12
Speaker 1: like for him to be like, I don't know. I'm
4:16
Speaker 1: telling you that what happened has always happened, but I
4:19
Speaker 1: don't know why, like if he would have died or not.
4:22
Speaker 2: So I just it's a thing. It's a me thing.
4:25
Speaker 2: Kat's angry with herself that she put Alice through, that
4:28
Speaker 2: that Alice had to see that accident, and she remembers
4:33
Speaker 2: Alice was at Colton's funeral and that this is going
4:35
Speaker 2: to be the last time that young Cat saw Alice,
4:38
Speaker 2: and she and Elliott are realizing this is going to
4:40
Speaker 2: be Alice's last trip back. Elliott wants her to tell
4:43
Speaker 2: Alice that it's over, that they need to move on
4:45
Speaker 2: and be in the presence. Cut to the opening title.
4:49
Speaker 1: We come back and Alice and Kat are at home.
4:52
Speaker 1: Alice tells Kat that Colman's death was her fault because
4:55
Speaker 1: Kat chose Alice over Colton.
4:58
Speaker 2: That's what I've written here.
5:00
Speaker 1: Okay, And she saved her in the street, right, So
5:04
Speaker 1: she feels guilt. Yes, you know that it was her fault,
5:08
Speaker 1: not Cat's fault. So Kat tells Alice that they need
5:11
Speaker 1: to have faith and believe that what happened what has
5:14
Speaker 1: always happened. She's just reiterating what Elliott has been telling
5:18
Speaker 1: her this entire time. And we hear a horn honk,
5:22
Speaker 1: and Cat remembers that Brady's in town to visit, and
5:25
Speaker 1: Alice is like, I can't deal with him, or I
5:28
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with She knows what's coming.
5:31
Speaker 2: She just saw her grandfather die. She needs a minute,
5:34
Speaker 2: She just needs a minute. It doesn't want to deal
5:36
Speaker 2: with her dad. Brady's waiting out front, and he asked
5:38
Speaker 2: Kat how she's been doing, and of course Brady has
5:40
Speaker 2: absolutely no idea what Kat has been reliving. So he's
5:43
Speaker 2: just thinking about in terms of their separation really and
5:47
Speaker 2: he asks if they should do this. He has Kat they're
5:51
Speaker 2: divorce papers and says, is this the right thing to do?
5:55
Speaker 2: And then he says, give me a call when you
5:57
Speaker 2: guys are ready. And I wonder what has Alice have
6:00
Speaker 2: to do with this? And I it occurred you. We
6:02
Speaker 2: find out later on that apparently it's like a secret
6:06
Speaker 2: that they're filing for divorce. You live in another country,
6:10
Speaker 2: Your daughter is very smart, she knows what's going on.
6:13
Speaker 2: You're with another woman. Cat is with Elliott at this point. Yeah, Like, oh,
6:19
Speaker 2: we're gonna surprise we're getting divorced. I don't this is
6:22
Speaker 2: not the big reveal you think it's going to do. Yeah,
6:24
Speaker 2: I'm like, why they need this big sit down talk?
6:27
Speaker 2: Like I think she realizes what's going on. Yeah, and
6:31
Speaker 2: Brady hasn't been there. I think Cat knows that Alice knows,
6:34
Speaker 2: and Brady feels like they need to have like a
6:37
Speaker 2: I would hope that Callice knows like callous.
6:40
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, Yes, it's stupid, yes, stupid detail on
6:44
Speaker 1: this storyline. First, it was not needed.
6:48
Speaker 2: All the extra subterfuge, like, yeah, the divorce papers I
6:51
Speaker 2: think are a nice button on this season.
6:53
Speaker 1: Next thing, we have Cat and dellan and are in
6:55
Speaker 1: the kitchen and don't let's to know who was honking.
6:57
Speaker 2: That would be me, who's honking out front.
6:59
Speaker 1: So then they move on to talk about Byron's sudden departure,
7:04
Speaker 1: and here it is, Kat asks who's going to take over.
7:07
Speaker 2: The Harald I wrote with Wendy Wright question mark, I'm
7:09
Speaker 2: telling you, well, who knows?
7:12
Speaker 1: I m'd be right for next season, But it's still
7:16
Speaker 1: is very unclear to me, like why Byron just bounces Like,
7:20
Speaker 1: of course we don't have any closure with him. In
7:23
Speaker 1: this episode, you mentioned like you don't think we're fully
7:26
Speaker 1: done with him.
7:27
Speaker 2: And maybe we're not. I didn't, but we'll get there, okay.
7:32
Speaker 1: Dell is annoyed that Byron has left, and Kat reminds
7:35
Speaker 1: her that she's the one who showed him the road,
7:38
Speaker 1: which what's quite funny.
7:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Dell says, easy to leave when the road
7:43
Speaker 2: gets tough, and I liked Kat's line, you showed him
7:45
Speaker 2: the road?
7:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then right after Kat says it, Dell makes
7:48
Speaker 1: this like smirk.
7:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was great Kat checks in on
7:51
Speaker 2: Alice and lets her know that Brady is back at
7:53
Speaker 2: the hotel. And Alice is looking through the family almanac
7:57
Speaker 2: for Colton's funeral date, and they find a pay where
8:00
Speaker 2: Jacob has sketched his little Jacob and Cat logo in
8:03
Speaker 2: the almanac. And I did, in this moment, think like, oh,
8:06
Speaker 2: that's interesting, Like when did that happen? Right, It's just
8:09
Speaker 2: kind of such an obvious pointed moment. Yeah, Alice wants
8:13
Speaker 2: to go back and be there for the funeral, and
8:14
Speaker 2: she wants Cat to come with her, and we see
8:17
Speaker 2: them jumping in the pond together, and in this moment,
8:20
Speaker 2: I wonder, how cold is that pond water every time
8:23
Speaker 2: they have to jump into it fully clothed, well like
8:25
Speaker 2: in real life? Yes, well, this is what I was thinking.
8:28
Speaker 1: I recently went on a WB back tour. Oh yeah,
8:33
Speaker 1: and they had this pond there and the person was
8:35
Speaker 1: telling us that like they fill it up with warm water,
8:38
Speaker 1: that the pond has these heaters underneath it, so when
8:42
Speaker 1: they fill it up, it has warm water for when
8:44
Speaker 1: your actors jumped into it. But with this I don't know,
8:47
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be just jumping in because they
8:50
Speaker 1: make it look so cold, not a real pond or
8:52
Speaker 1: jumping into it. I think it's a pool, sure, in
8:56
Speaker 1: a sound stage somewhere. I like this saying because this
8:59
Speaker 1: is everything Cat has wanted for so long. She wants
9:02
Speaker 1: Alice to want her, and I think, as a mother
9:06
Speaker 1: of a teenage daughter, I've felt very like, that's all I.
9:09
Speaker 2: Want for my own daughter. Yeah, she wants her to
9:12
Speaker 2: love her as a mother as much as she loves Cat,
9:15
Speaker 2: her young best friends.
9:18
Speaker 1: We find young Elliot. He's looking at his window. I
9:20
Speaker 1: think from what I called the treehouse. I don't know, Oh,
9:24
Speaker 1: I always call it the barn. Are they in a barn?
9:26
Speaker 2: Isn't it that big barn?
9:28
Speaker 1: I think it is a barn like upstairs. But for
9:31
Speaker 1: some reason, I couldn't remember last night when I was
9:32
Speaker 1: taking my notes if it was a treehouse.
9:35
Speaker 2: I think it's a barn. I think you're right.
9:37
Speaker 1: Alice comes in and Elliott's been crying. He's said about
9:41
Speaker 1: Colton's death, and he remembers that he's built this space
9:45
Speaker 1: for them, and he tells Alice it will mean a
9:47
Speaker 1: lot that she's there for the funeral, and she's soaking wet,
9:51
Speaker 1: and she tells him that she needs some clothes, and
9:54
Speaker 1: she wants him to bring her some options, which Elliott's
9:58
Speaker 1: super annoyed by this request. He calls her like demanding
10:02
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. But we know as viewers, like,
10:05
Speaker 1: she needs clothes for her mom. Yes, she's not letting
10:09
Speaker 1: young Elliott know that adult Cat is there.
10:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, blows tiny mind. Yeah, he says, I'm only doing
10:15
Speaker 2: this for Cat, and I thought, yeah, you are. Well. Actually,
10:19
Speaker 2: we see young Cat and Brady and Dell arrive at
10:23
Speaker 2: the funeral, and it's it's really striking to see just
10:27
Speaker 2: Cat and Dell. You know, there's no Colton, there's no Jacob.
10:31
Speaker 2: Alice an old Cat approach together Cat, but Alice leaves
10:35
Speaker 2: Cat behind the bushes. Cat stays in the shadows, but
10:39
Speaker 2: she's very much in the open here God, And at
10:42
Speaker 2: this moment, we just see the family and Elliott. In
10:45
Speaker 2: my notes, I say, no, Rita, but give it a
10:49
Speaker 2: second because I'm just taking notes in real time. Cat
10:52
Speaker 2: really looks broken here, and Doug is a nice speech
10:55
Speaker 2: about Colton and what he loves. And right in the
10:56
Speaker 2: middle I write, oh, there's Rita, and Jude and Joyce
10:59
Speaker 2: are there as well. Dell calls Colt in their north storm,
11:02
Speaker 2: and we see Cat crying behind a tree, and Dell
11:06
Speaker 2: spots her and just has this long moment like she's
11:10
Speaker 2: trying to make sense of who this woman is. Cat
11:13
Speaker 2: doesn't even make an attempt. She just stands there sobbing
11:16
Speaker 2: very openly. She should have did that, You know that,
11:19
Speaker 2: Homer Simpson meme. We're getting And this is where Dell
11:25
Speaker 2: assumes she's the other woman. I want to comment on
11:27
Speaker 2: this because you had asked in a previous episode you,
11:31
Speaker 2: for a long time have positive cats the other woman.
11:33
Speaker 2: We now have proof. We knew that, but we'd have
11:36
Speaker 2: the proof, And you said, but if delsa cat, wouldn't
11:40
Speaker 2: she know? And here's the thing. If I would like
11:43
Speaker 2: to think if I see my daughter twenty three years
11:45
Speaker 2: from the future in front of me across the field,
11:49
Speaker 2: that I would recognize her. But it's how do you
11:53
Speaker 2: make sense of that when your actual daughter standing right
11:56
Speaker 2: next to you. Even if you think, wow, that woman
11:58
Speaker 2: looks like my child, she gonna make the leap. She's
12:01
Speaker 2: a time traveler from the future.
12:02
Speaker 1: You're not gonna make the leap to a time traveler.
12:05
Speaker 1: But I think there would be some sort of mother's instinct.
12:10
Speaker 1: It would make your hair stand up on the back
12:12
Speaker 1: of your neck. I think there would be some sort
12:14
Speaker 1: of something.
12:16
Speaker 2: And that this goes back to the easiest explanation is
12:19
Speaker 2: that Colton was having an affair. The easiest explanation for
12:21
Speaker 2: Dell in this moment is that's the other woman. Everyone
12:24
Speaker 2: approaches Dell to comfort her, and we see Cat, and
12:26
Speaker 2: Cat is coming to another realization another it was me.
12:30
Speaker 2: It was always me moment, Well, how is she not
12:33
Speaker 2: there yet? Okay? So I have been thinking about this
12:35
Speaker 2: because I made a comment later on that Cat's always
12:38
Speaker 2: the last person to get there, right. The bike was her.
12:42
Speaker 2: She caused Colton's accident. She's the woman at the funeral,
12:45
Speaker 2: which she should have realized once the support group was happening.
12:50
Speaker 2: But I think the reason they give Kat this device
12:55
Speaker 2: is because they need the viewers to get there in
12:58
Speaker 2: that moment. If you're not picking up what they're putting
13:01
Speaker 2: down ahead of time, they need to kind of provide
13:04
Speaker 2: that oh moment for the viewers, and Kat is kind
13:08
Speaker 2: of an unfortunate vehicle there.
13:09
Speaker 1: Next thing, we're back in present day and Elliott walks
13:12
Speaker 1: into the point and he sees Brady sitting there. You
13:13
Speaker 1: can see Elliott kind of like like stops and like
13:17
Speaker 1: has a moment of like should I turn around a
13:19
Speaker 1: walk out? And Brady calls him over to sit down.
13:23
Speaker 1: And at this point, like I hate Brady like so much,
13:26
Speaker 1: Like I just feel like he's holding court there a
13:28
Speaker 1: little bit, like come on over, dude, I just really
13:32
Speaker 1: dislike this character.
13:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:34
Speaker 1: Monica asks what to get them, and of course their
13:36
Speaker 1: orders are very Brady and very Elliott, and Elliott is
13:40
Speaker 1: almost like, so Elliott to spite Brady absolutely, even if
13:43
Speaker 1: Elliott would normally drink a.
13:45
Speaker 2: Lot day, He's like, I'll have a house coffee black. Yeah.
13:48
Speaker 1: Brady tells Elliott that he knows he has feelings for
13:51
Speaker 1: a cat and always has, and that the divorce papers
13:54
Speaker 1: have been served and now that you know that's done,
13:57
Speaker 1: he can have her basically, which I was like, you
14:01
Speaker 1: are such a jerk. Yeah, And he goes on to
14:05
Speaker 1: tell him that he was actually threatened by Elliott as
14:08
Speaker 1: a teenager because Elliott was smart and he's the one
14:12
Speaker 1: that Kat turned to when Kat was feeling hurt and
14:15
Speaker 1: during the hard times, and Elliott's like, I didn't make
14:20
Speaker 1: that connection when we were teenagers, but.
14:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were such a Dick, you never acted to threaten? Yeah, exactly?
14:28
Speaker 2: Is that where the scene ends? I mean, Elliott kind
14:31
Speaker 2: of tries to shrug it off and he's like, yeah,
14:32
Speaker 2: we were kids. Then he quotes Curereguard, which is just
14:35
Speaker 2: so funny to me because Elliott is clearly the smarter
14:38
Speaker 2: of the two. Like Brady's success we know is based
14:41
Speaker 2: on nepotism, based on his family's connections, and Elliott is an.
14:46
Speaker 1: Actual smart dude here right, And I thought, I can't
14:49
Speaker 1: remember the quote, but it was fitting for the moment.
14:52
Speaker 2: In two thousand and we get Alice thanking Elliott for
14:56
Speaker 2: all of his help, and she says, Hope, I didn't
14:58
Speaker 2: ruin anything for you. I just wanted to be a
15:00
Speaker 2: part of this world. She tells him how important he
15:03
Speaker 2: is to her in the present day, which I think
15:05
Speaker 2: is really lovely, and Alice watches everyone get in the
15:08
Speaker 2: car and go. Not one of those weird scenes. No
15:11
Speaker 2: one's like, Ellis, how are you getting home from this
15:13
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere? Yeah, but I guess you just appear
15:15
Speaker 2: from the woods. She turns to look at her mom
15:18
Speaker 2: and both women kind of share this broken hearted moment.
15:23
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing could Dell have come to the
15:26
Speaker 1: conclusion that maybe that was Alice's mom hanging back in
15:31
Speaker 1: the bushes during the you know what I mean, instead
15:33
Speaker 1: of like the worst.
15:34
Speaker 2: Oh, Colton was having unfair with this lady.
15:37
Speaker 1: Like, wouldn't it make more sense that Alice was at
15:39
Speaker 1: a funeral with a parent, but the parent was clearly
15:43
Speaker 1: like not welcome because it was a very small group.
15:45
Speaker 2: So maybe this private moment.
15:47
Speaker 1: Yes, every funeral I've ever been to, if I hardly
15:49
Speaker 1: even know the person, I mean full tears of.
15:51
Speaker 2: Course, people are sharing lovely stories.
15:54
Speaker 1: It's moving, so like it's not a huge leap to
15:59
Speaker 1: be like, oh, maybe that's.
16:00
Speaker 2: Just Alice's mom. Yes, And if my child's best friend's
16:05
Speaker 2: father had an untimely death, I would be in tears
16:08
Speaker 2: at their funeral even if I had never met this person.
16:11
Speaker 2: That's tragic.
16:11
Speaker 1: Yes, So yes, it was a weird scene. They all
16:14
Speaker 1: like pile into the.
16:15
Speaker 2: Car, but poor Alice is left at the great site
16:17
Speaker 2: by herself, like.
16:17
Speaker 1: I don't why didn't they invite her to come back
16:20
Speaker 1: to the house.
16:20
Speaker 3: I don't know.
16:21
Speaker 1: We go to a commercial and when we come back,
16:23
Speaker 1: Cat and Dell a at the kitchen table and I'm
16:24
Speaker 1: gonna tell you I have become very fond of like
16:28
Speaker 1: their being in their kitchen. I don't know what it is,
16:32
Speaker 1: and I will I'm not spoiling anything here. I did
16:35
Speaker 1: watch the beginning of Ride after this, and they have
16:38
Speaker 1: kitchen scenes like in this at the top of the episode,
16:41
Speaker 1: and I'm like, but I miss the Landry kitchen compared
16:45
Speaker 1: to this one.
16:45
Speaker 2: It's weird. It's really weird.
16:47
Speaker 1: It's almost like you grow this like connection where these
16:52
Speaker 1: people are at, just like with like nine O two
16:54
Speaker 1: one zero, like them being at the peach pit or
16:58
Speaker 1: the wal the Walsh home. It's it's the home actually
17:01
Speaker 1: for me, and I think mostly because like that's something
17:04
Speaker 1: that I always desired as a child growing up, is
17:07
Speaker 1: having that like everybody around the dinner table kind of.
17:11
Speaker 2: Meeting of minds.
17:13
Speaker 1: Anyway, total side note from me. But they're at the
17:15
Speaker 1: kitchen table and Delle basically says that, you know, Kat's
17:19
Speaker 1: being unusually quiet, and Kat goes on and tell her
17:23
Speaker 1: that she's been thinking about Colton and that she thinks
17:26
Speaker 1: that Dale's been hanging on to this idea of Colton
17:29
Speaker 1: having an affair because it makes it easier than the
17:32
Speaker 1: pain of losing him, and I gotta say, I think.
17:34
Speaker 2: You said that I did right either her to be
17:37
Speaker 2: angry than it is to be sad it is. Deale
17:40
Speaker 2: brushes it off.
17:41
Speaker 1: Dale Gonnadell but talks about a memory she's recently had
17:46
Speaker 1: of Colton and it's the evening that he says he's
17:51
Speaker 1: going to explain everything, but then that ended up being
17:54
Speaker 1: the night that he died, and Kat asks when did
17:57
Speaker 1: she remember this? And as veers, we know this. In
18:00
Speaker 1: the last episode she had this like weird, sort of out.
18:02
Speaker 2: Of body.
18:05
Speaker 1: Moment dancing with Colton and like all that all that
18:10
Speaker 1: I read on Reddit actually people were like, oh, but
18:14
Speaker 1: did you notice that Colton's hair was more gray in
18:17
Speaker 1: that scene and they were trying to figure out the time.
18:22
Speaker 2: That was the most unusual scene I think we've had,
18:25
Speaker 2: because we have actual time travel, we have memories, and
18:29
Speaker 2: then we have this scene which is unlike both of
18:32
Speaker 2: those things, Like it's Dell in the present day having
18:34
Speaker 2: a visceral memory.
18:37
Speaker 1: Fulton, right, it was, You're right, the weirdest scene that
18:42
Speaker 1: we've ever had. Ye Delle brings up the woman at
18:46
Speaker 1: the funeral and Kat assures her that the woman was
18:50
Speaker 1: no one of importance, and Delle asks it if it's
18:55
Speaker 1: okay to just let all that stuff go now, and
18:57
Speaker 1: I'm like, all of this lead up to this, like
19:00
Speaker 1: mystery woman at the funeral, where Kat now has an
19:03
Speaker 1: understanding that it was her, and Delle's like, let's just
19:08
Speaker 1: you know, Dell has for weeks just wanted to leave
19:10
Speaker 1: the past in the past. So her asking Cat in
19:14
Speaker 1: this moment, like can we just like put an into
19:17
Speaker 1: it and finally let it all go? And they agree,
19:20
Speaker 1: Cat agrees. Cat heads off to bed, and Dell pulls
19:24
Speaker 1: out the business card from the grief group, which twenty three.
19:29
Speaker 2: Years later, Kat gave it to her last week.
19:32
Speaker 1: I know, but does she think that this grief group
19:36
Speaker 1: is still a meeting twenty three years later?
19:38
Speaker 2: You know, I made the wrong assumption about this when
19:41
Speaker 2: she looked at the card. I thought she was going
19:43
Speaker 2: to go all investigative journalist and try and track down
19:45
Speaker 2: this woman. And see that's not at all what she does. Dell, Yes,
19:50
Speaker 2: we'll talk about more.
19:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alice is up in her bedroom and she's looking
19:53
Speaker 1: at what I wrote down as Colton's funeral paper. I
19:56
Speaker 1: don't know, program I was like, what what is that called?
20:00
Speaker 1: It was real late when I watched this last night,
20:02
Speaker 1: and she has this memory of him telling her that
20:06
Speaker 1: she was a singer, not to let that go. She's
20:08
Speaker 1: looking at the guitar. She has this like moment, this epiphany, yes,
20:15
Speaker 1: that she's gonna now go on and do other things
20:17
Speaker 1: with the singing.
20:19
Speaker 2: And we cut to what I think might be the
20:20
Speaker 2: next day. It's unclear. Alice arrives at the point and
20:23
Speaker 2: she's asked Spencer if the roxy is still looking for
20:25
Speaker 2: people to play at the opening, and he says yes
20:27
Speaker 2: and tells her how excited he is, that how much
20:30
Speaker 2: she's looking forward to catering it, and that the appetizer
20:34
Speaker 2: he made the night he made dinner for Alice's on
20:36
Speaker 2: the menu, and thank you for this full circle moment, writers,
20:39
Speaker 2: because impop Zoe and says you made Alice dinner? And
20:42
Speaker 2: she gets this look like what is happening? And I
20:45
Speaker 2: say here we go. They're interrupted by Brady who wants
20:50
Speaker 2: a coffee, and Spencer can't get out of there fast
20:53
Speaker 2: enough and bounds it all over it. We get no resolution,
20:57
Speaker 2: but we do get another look from Zoe like, what's
21:00
Speaker 2: happening now?
21:02
Speaker 1: I just had a reaction as you were reading that,
21:04
Speaker 1: because I think it was last week ID read before
21:06
Speaker 1: I called Zoe Chloe. Yeah, and last night I called
21:10
Speaker 1: her Sophie.
21:14
Speaker 2: I cannot remember her name. And when I was writing
21:17
Speaker 2: down Chloe, I was like, no, that's not right, it's Sophie.
21:20
Speaker 2: It's actually Zoe. I'm sorry, my apology. I just don't
21:25
Speaker 2: know why I.
21:26
Speaker 1: Was such a brain blog when it comes to her
21:29
Speaker 1: and the next thing, Ellie. It's reviewing his own notes
21:32
Speaker 1: about time traveling, and I had to watch this scene
21:35
Speaker 1: over and over again. What I gather are these were
21:38
Speaker 1: notes that he had taken as a teenager about the visits,
21:43
Speaker 1: and he was checking off the last one of the funeral.
21:48
Speaker 2: Okay.
21:49
Speaker 1: Kat walks in and tells him that the woman that
21:53
Speaker 1: Dell had suspected about the affair was actually her, and
21:57
Speaker 1: his response was perfect. I was super dry and like,
22:00
Speaker 1: okay taking that in. Yeah, just phenomenal acting by Evan Williams. Here,
22:07
Speaker 1: Kat wonders what the point of time travel is if
22:10
Speaker 1: there's nothing to be changed from it, and she's going
22:14
Speaker 1: on and on about her being the root of all problems,
22:17
Speaker 1: and he's just like enough, stop and she here apologizes
22:23
Speaker 1: that he has to be a part of this whole thing.
22:27
Speaker 1: You know that his life was disrupted by this too,
22:30
Speaker 1: and she promises that she will try to let go
22:33
Speaker 1: of the past, and then they kiss.
22:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, but don't forget that. Elliott has a moment where
22:38
Speaker 2: he's like, I am the only one in all of
22:41
Speaker 2: this who has known my future since the past. I
22:46
Speaker 2: think that comes later. It's both times. Oh really, he
22:49
Speaker 2: brings it up. He's like, I am the only one
22:51
Speaker 2: who has known all of this and Ket she's not
22:54
Speaker 2: listening to him. Yeah, she's not listening to him. And
22:59
Speaker 2: later on and she seems very surprised. We'll get to you.
23:01
Speaker 2: But he brings it up, and I wrote, that is
23:03
Speaker 2: a perspective that I hadn't yet really thought about. Now,
23:08
Speaker 2: that's an interesting perspective. Since he was fifteen years old,
23:11
Speaker 2: he's known a good portion of the trajectory of his
23:15
Speaker 2: life and of cats as well, right, And I wrote,
23:18
Speaker 2: Elliott's a sucker for cat. After they kiss at the
23:21
Speaker 2: kitchen table, adult Brady is telling Kat that Alice is
23:26
Speaker 2: going to be singing in a concert. And this is
23:28
Speaker 2: one of those moments where he's like really trying to
23:31
Speaker 2: be the parent. She's like, I know, dude, yeah, I
23:33
Speaker 2: don't need you to tell me what our kid's doing.
23:35
Speaker 2: And that was a personal reaction there, and Alice is
23:40
Speaker 2: really nervous about it, and Brady wonders if this is
23:43
Speaker 2: a good time for their dun dun dun chat and
23:46
Speaker 2: Alice is like, y'all, we don't need to have a talk.
23:48
Speaker 2: I get it. This is for the better. She bounces,
23:50
Speaker 2: She gives them the old I'm fine and goes upstairs.
23:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's upset and annoyed, and Cat runs after her
23:57
Speaker 1: and they have like this moment and she says, like
24:00
Speaker 1: he wants to go.
24:00
Speaker 2: Back to the two thousands. Well, first, she says, divorce
24:05
Speaker 2: is nothing compared to what my friend cats.
24:07
Speaker 1: Right, that's right, that's right. And you know in this scene,
24:11
Speaker 1: Kat goes says something like.
24:14
Speaker 2: I know it was me.
24:15
Speaker 1: Yeah I thought that was such a rude response. Yeah,
24:20
Speaker 1: Like it was like rude. So Alice runs out basically, well.
24:25
Speaker 2: Don't forget that. Tell me. She wants to go to
24:28
Speaker 2: the pond, but Cat's like, you never came back. Right.
24:31
Speaker 2: Alice doesn't want to believe this, and she's upset and
24:33
Speaker 2: she's like, why didn't you tell me? And she's insistent
24:36
Speaker 2: on trying, and we get two back to Vack scenes.
24:38
Speaker 2: Here we get present day Dell pulling up to the
24:40
Speaker 2: grief counselor's house. It's a quick scene. We cut away
24:44
Speaker 2: to Alice emerging from the pond. We don't know where.
24:48
Speaker 2: She's peeling off her wet clothes, sees the farmhouse and says,
24:51
Speaker 2: when am I right now? Let me go back to
24:55
Speaker 2: Dell pulling up to the grief support house.
24:58
Speaker 1: Do you think I know? Later on, she says, I
25:01
Speaker 1: went to the house. It's not my thing, Like the grooves,
25:04
Speaker 1: I personally think that Dell went to see who opened
25:08
Speaker 1: the door, if it was the same woman she saw
25:11
Speaker 1: at the funeral.
25:12
Speaker 2: So that's a good point. When I said earlier, I
25:15
Speaker 2: made the wrong assumption. I meant I thought Dell right
25:18
Speaker 2: wanted to see if this woman or maybe someone involved,
25:22
Speaker 2: maybe this woe would have some insight into Colton's actions.
25:26
Speaker 2: But I took her at face value later on when
25:28
Speaker 2: she says, I went to the grief support group. But
25:30
Speaker 2: your point is a good one.
25:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't get any any inside like what happens.
25:36
Speaker 1: Did she go to the door, does she not go
25:37
Speaker 1: to the door, does she meet the person?
25:38
Speaker 2: Does she not like, yeah, it is Dell the biggest
25:41
Speaker 2: mystery of all in this show. Right.
25:44
Speaker 1: So, like you said, Alice is at the farm, but
25:46
Speaker 1: she she's looking around, it's clearly not wintertime anymore.
25:50
Speaker 2: There.
25:50
Speaker 1: To me, it was like springtime, like we were in
25:52
Speaker 1: a completely different, different time frame.
25:55
Speaker 2: I mean it was obvious to me. Yeah, And the
25:57
Speaker 2: car parked and the driveway tells me it's much more
25:59
Speaker 2: present day then it went. And she's like, when am I?
26:02
Speaker 2: Oh mean that's good.
26:04
Speaker 1: She approaches the house and she can hear Dell telling
26:06
Speaker 1: Rita to let it go, but Rita is pleading with
26:09
Speaker 1: her that she needs Cat there, she needs her family
26:12
Speaker 1: now now that Jacob has been finally declared dead. Dale
26:16
Speaker 1: tells her she's fine, and she regrets showing Rita something.
26:20
Speaker 1: Of course, we realize later that it's the letter to
26:24
Speaker 1: Cat and Alice, which makes me super nervous, goes into
26:29
Speaker 1: the actual house because watching them talk, and I was like,
26:32
Speaker 1: how can they not see her?
26:34
Speaker 2: How can they? I hear somebody come in? I rite
26:36
Speaker 2: Alice breaks and enters to Evestrom.
26:39
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it distresses me. Out of course that's
26:42
Speaker 1: not going to happen. She's watching them talk and they're
26:47
Speaker 1: talking about the letter that was mysteriously sends a cat
26:50
Speaker 1: way back in episode one. So now we know that,
26:54
Speaker 1: like Alice is in present day but a few months, yeah,
26:58
Speaker 1: prior very recent past, yes, and you know we see Dell.
27:03
Speaker 1: She throws the letter away and they leave the kitchen
27:06
Speaker 1: and Alice goes and digs the letter out of the trash.
27:10
Speaker 1: I mean here obvious to me, I was like, oh,
27:12
Speaker 1: Alice is the one who sent the letter. We get
27:15
Speaker 1: confirmation of that a little bit later in the episode,
27:17
Speaker 1: but I was like, Okay, I don't know why.
27:21
Speaker 2: We didn't think about that. There were a lot of
27:23
Speaker 2: things happened in this episode that I never thought of. Yeah.
27:26
Speaker 2: I had two things in all caps from that scene. One,
27:29
Speaker 2: Rita's like, don't you think it's time you meet your granddaughter? No?
27:33
Speaker 2: And I wrote she's never met Alice in all caps,
27:36
Speaker 2: which I don't know.
27:36
Speaker 1: That I knew that, Yeah, because when they actually come
27:40
Speaker 1: in episode one, was there this.
27:42
Speaker 2: Like I think she has like an I'm your grandmother
27:45
Speaker 2: moment I can't recall. And then I also wrote does
27:47
Speaker 2: Alice mail the letter, which of course she does. After
27:51
Speaker 2: the commercial, we see cats signing the divorce papers at
27:54
Speaker 2: the kitchen table, and she looks a little sad, but
27:56
Speaker 2: there are no tears. It's just kind of like the
27:58
Speaker 2: end of an era, letting it go. And in walks Alice,
28:02
Speaker 2: fresh from her recent mass time travel. Kat asks if
28:05
Speaker 2: she saw a young cat, and Alice says the pond
28:08
Speaker 2: took her where she needed to go, not where she
28:10
Speaker 2: wanted to go. In walks Brady, happy to see his girls,
28:13
Speaker 2: and I roll my eyes at this. He gives Alice
28:16
Speaker 2: a hugs, says they're going to be fine. He'll see
28:18
Speaker 2: you at the concert. Kat gives him the completed papers,
28:21
Speaker 2: and Brady says, I love you both, and he leaves,
28:24
Speaker 2: and Kat heaves a sigh of relief. And I'm gonna
28:26
Speaker 2: be honest if we don't get much Brady. I like
28:29
Speaker 2: this actor me too, which is a bummer, but I
28:32
Speaker 2: hate his character and the way young Brady behaves and
28:37
Speaker 2: the way adult Brady behaves, especially toward Elliott. You're an adult,
28:42
Speaker 2: let's let it go. I just so unlikable. I don't
28:46
Speaker 2: like the contentiousness of it. So I will be okay
28:50
Speaker 2: if we don't get a lot of Brady, which I
28:52
Speaker 2: think we might not. Well.
28:54
Speaker 1: Also, In this scene, there's no follow up from Cat.
28:58
Speaker 1: When Alice goes it didn't take where I wanted to go,
29:00
Speaker 1: but where I needed to go. There's nothing like Kat goes, well,
29:04
Speaker 1: what's that supposed to mean? Right? I would be like,
29:06
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Like, give me the details
29:08
Speaker 1: you went where? Instead like me too?
29:10
Speaker 2: No follow up nothing did you find Jacob? Yeah? Did
29:14
Speaker 2: you find Jacob?
29:16
Speaker 1: And the next time, we're still in present day and
29:17
Speaker 1: Alice is playing her guitar and she's up in the
29:20
Speaker 1: barn slash treehouse and Dale walks in says she heard
29:24
Speaker 1: Alice singing from like I don't know, downstairs, out in
29:26
Speaker 1: the farm whatever, and she hasn't been up there in
29:29
Speaker 1: a really long time and tells Alice how Colton built
29:32
Speaker 1: in for the kids, and she says, I heard a
29:34
Speaker 1: rumor that you're going to be singing Out the opening
29:37
Speaker 1: of the Roxy, Alice is super happy about it, says
29:40
Speaker 1: she has to keep the landry singing tradition alive, and
29:43
Speaker 1: Dell here wishes that Colton could have heard his granddaughter sing.
29:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:47
Speaker 2: We cut to the opening of the Roxy. We see
29:49
Speaker 2: Spencer serving, Monica, and Kat talk briefly. Monica brings up Brady,
29:54
Speaker 2: but Ket just says she's gonna head over and see
29:56
Speaker 2: mister Elliott. And things are clearly not all right with
30:00
Speaker 2: Cat and Elliott because all Kat can talk about is
30:02
Speaker 2: how nervous she is for Alice, and she asks him
30:04
Speaker 2: to hold her hand, but they kind of get interrupted
30:07
Speaker 2: by the bell ringing to bring them into the theater,
30:09
Speaker 2: and they don't appear to hold hands. The opening song
30:13
Speaker 2: is by a man called JJ and the pillar is
30:16
Speaker 2: called Way Home, and no, I do believe that is
30:19
Speaker 2: actually JJ and the Pillar singing on stage based on
30:21
Speaker 2: the photo of them I saw, all right. Yeah, And
30:24
Speaker 2: during this song, which is a cool song, actually Kat
30:27
Speaker 2: catches Alice from the wings and she catches her eye
30:30
Speaker 2: and Alice is looking around a little bit nervously, and
30:32
Speaker 2: then we see Brady finally show up, and everyone kind
30:35
Speaker 2: of relaxes because he's shown up for his daughter, and
30:38
Speaker 2: Elliot rolls her eyes when re enjoins them in the audience.
30:43
Speaker 1: Look, I think if you are co parenting, it is
30:46
Speaker 1: nice that you have both parents show up and they
30:49
Speaker 1: just sit next to each other and like, and.
30:51
Speaker 2: They're not making it more awkward for their daughter by
30:53
Speaker 2: not speaking yea and not being excited for her in
30:56
Speaker 2: this moment.
30:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm a little bit by Elliott here in
31:01
Speaker 1: this scene, mostly because like be supportive of like their situation, Like,
31:05
Speaker 1: I know you hate Brady, but this.
31:07
Speaker 2: Is what's best for Ali, right exactly. Alice takes the
31:11
Speaker 2: stage to big cheers, and she looks as terrified as
31:13
Speaker 2: she did in the opening scene of this show. Another
31:16
Speaker 2: great callback. I think she sings, you know, the opening
31:19
Speaker 2: bars of a song, pauses again, really mirrors that opening
31:23
Speaker 2: pilot episode, and then she kind of relaxes and she says,
31:27
Speaker 2: you know, this song wasn't the right one, and she
31:30
Speaker 2: starts over by singing Colton's song, and Hanny McDowell just
31:35
Speaker 2: acts her ass off. She's right, I have chills right now. Yes,
31:39
Speaker 2: she's blown away, having this moment of like I can't
31:42
Speaker 2: even begin to imagine what she's thinking. Like, first of all,
31:44
Speaker 2: here's the song that the love of her life sang
31:46
Speaker 2: to her, and how special it was. But her granddaughter
31:49
Speaker 2: is singing it and that alone is a lot. But
31:52
Speaker 2: how does Alice know this song. Dell's really going through it.
31:56
Speaker 2: Kat's having a moment too. She kind of checks in
31:58
Speaker 2: on Dell. Well, let me just say, Sadie Snow can
32:01
Speaker 2: sing and she's really good. There's just a lot of talent.
32:03
Speaker 2: In this caust we learn that Evan Williams also sings
32:05
Speaker 2: as well, not in the show, but he should.
32:08
Speaker 1: No, his song is featured at the end of the fil.
32:10
Speaker 2: Is it well, I'll get to it, but he himself.
32:13
Speaker 2: Elliott is not singing, is what I mean? Elliott's not singing? Yes,
32:16
Speaker 2: Evan Williams is so I love they're playing it. Yes,
32:18
Speaker 2: Del cries what appears to be happy tears. Cat and
32:21
Speaker 2: Brady squeeze each other's hands, and Kat and Elliot share
32:24
Speaker 2: looking again. Elliott back off. This is not the Cat
32:29
Speaker 2: not being their moment for you that you think it
32:32
Speaker 2: is right, And then there's big a pause that the
32:34
Speaker 2: enemy cut to a commercial.
32:35
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you when they're watching Dell in this
32:39
Speaker 1: kind of full realization of things that are happening, I'm wondering,
32:44
Speaker 1: like because like you see so many emotions like I'm
32:47
Speaker 1: you're right. Annie mcdella is such a fantastic job in
32:50
Speaker 1: this scene, Like you see that she's stunned, she's elated,
32:53
Speaker 1: she's confused, like she's having all these feelings while watching
32:57
Speaker 1: and I was like.
32:58
Speaker 2: Give me more, give me more? Does she does Dell know?
33:02
Speaker 2: Does Dell know?
33:03
Speaker 1: That's what I need to know? And I think that's
33:05
Speaker 1: still very much an unanswered question. We come back from commercial,
33:10
Speaker 1: We have cats. She pulls up to Elliott's house and
33:12
Speaker 1: he's like collecting sticks in the yard, which I was like,
33:15
Speaker 1: is that a thing you do on farms?
33:17
Speaker 2: Like maybe it's firewood, like kindling for his fireplace. Okay,
33:22
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wrote Elliot collecting sticks? Question Mark
33:25
Speaker 2: would question mark? Oh yeah.
33:27
Speaker 1: They chitchat about Alice and her performance and Brady being there,
33:31
Speaker 1: and she asks like, why didn't you come over to.
33:34
Speaker 2: The house last night?
33:35
Speaker 1: And she lets him know that she has signed the
33:38
Speaker 1: divorce papers, and I feel like she has a really
33:41
Speaker 1: nice moment here. She tells Elliott that she doesn't take
33:44
Speaker 1: him for granted and that he means so much to her,
33:47
Speaker 1: but he wants to have a talk about that.
33:51
Speaker 2: He says yikes. He says, I've been a spectator of
33:55
Speaker 2: my whole life. That everything was set in stone before
33:58
Speaker 2: he could live it. And I think we talked about
34:02
Speaker 2: this earlier, but I think this is part of why
34:05
Speaker 2: he rides hard for everything that is going to happen
34:09
Speaker 2: has already happened. I think because of his own experience.
34:13
Speaker 2: He says, I can make my own choices. Now I
34:15
Speaker 2: feel free. And this is a really beautiful breakup speech,
34:20
Speaker 2: but it's also very heartbreaking. And Kat doesn't seem to
34:23
Speaker 2: get where he's going. Mm hmm. She says, I get it,
34:26
Speaker 2: and I write Kat is never one step ahead. Elliott
34:30
Speaker 2: says he loves her, but he has to start fresh,
34:34
Speaker 2: and he wants her to understand where he's coming from.
34:37
Speaker 2: And Kat definitely does not understand, like this is our moment.
34:41
Speaker 2: I'm here for you, I'm telling you, I'm giving you
34:44
Speaker 2: my heart.
34:45
Speaker 1: I don't understand either. This is a man who has
34:49
Speaker 1: wanted this woman his entire life since he was a teenager,
34:53
Speaker 1: and now that that whole, like everything he has known
34:58
Speaker 1: to happen, has finally happen, he does not want to
35:02
Speaker 1: pursue anything further with her.
35:04
Speaker 2: I agree with you. And unless Elliott knows more than
35:09
Speaker 2: we write, he's kind of at the end of what
35:12
Speaker 2: he knows, right, so his future is unwritten. He does
35:16
Speaker 2: get that chance, why not make it with Kat. We'll
35:19
Speaker 2: get to a moment where I think it's actually advantageous
35:23
Speaker 2: that they have this breakup at the very end, I'll
35:25
Speaker 2: explain why. Oh okay, But behind the scene, a version
35:28
Speaker 2: of Time after Time is playing. That's see Evan Williams
35:31
Speaker 2: song Oh Bright World is his band. When I shazammed it,
35:35
Speaker 2: it said, oh Bright World music. Evan Williams Bright World
35:39
Speaker 2: the solo project of actor singers, So he is that
35:41
Speaker 2: is him, and Elliott cries and when he takes off
35:46
Speaker 2: his glasses to wipe his eyes, I'm a bit of
35:48
Speaker 2: a goner. Really, Yeah, I don't know. I just was
35:52
Speaker 2: kind of mad at him in this scene. I felt
35:54
Speaker 2: that emotion too. I felt for both of them. I
35:58
Speaker 2: think Elliott has been put in an an unfair position
36:02
Speaker 2: throughout all of this, and I think he just wants
36:06
Speaker 2: some control and he doesn't feel like he has any
36:08
Speaker 2: of it. And I think kat is in this woman
36:11
Speaker 2: coming to him saying, like, I sign the divorce papers
36:13
Speaker 2: and I think co parenting's really gonna work out, and
36:15
Speaker 2: he's like, none of this is in my control. I
36:17
Speaker 2: had to wait for you to be done with Brady,
36:20
Speaker 2: and I had to wait for that story to be over,
36:23
Speaker 2: and I'm constantly waiting and I don't have any control,
36:26
Speaker 2: and I just don't think he likes it, Like I
36:29
Speaker 2: am on everyone else's.
36:30
Speaker 1: Timeline, but I think he's making a bad decision here,
36:34
Speaker 1: Like I feel like he's cutting his nose off despite
36:37
Speaker 1: his face.
36:38
Speaker 2: That's exactly the line I see your face wondering if
36:41
Speaker 2: it is. Also, I thought, well, how are you gonna
36:43
Speaker 2: do this? Because this is a very small town, so
36:45
Speaker 2: you're just gonna I think they live very close to
36:48
Speaker 2: each other too, mm hmm, So you're just going to
36:53
Speaker 2: see other people while seeing Kat and Alice everywhere you go. Yeah,
36:56
Speaker 2: I don't understand. And he was close to Dell prior
36:59
Speaker 2: to right, so many questions.
37:02
Speaker 1: Next up, we have Dell, Kat and Alice in They're
37:05
Speaker 1: sitting at the kitchen table and Dell asks Alice about
37:09
Speaker 1: the song and like where she learned that from, and
37:13
Speaker 1: Alice says it's something that Kat taught her as a child,
37:17
Speaker 1: which is a nice cover up. Yes perfect Here. DL
37:19
Speaker 1: says she went to the support group but that it
37:22
Speaker 1: wasn't her thing, and she tells Kat sorry for being
37:25
Speaker 1: lost in her own grief and why she wasn't there
37:28
Speaker 1: for her as a teenager. And I was like, this
37:31
Speaker 1: is what we've been waiting for between these two forever.
37:35
Speaker 1: Now they have well, Kat has some clarity I think
37:39
Speaker 1: about it wasn't her fault, yes, but it.
37:42
Speaker 2: Wasn't them blaming her. Yes, that's it that caused their distance.
37:47
Speaker 2: It was less about her and they were just stuck
37:50
Speaker 2: in their own reave.
37:51
Speaker 1: And there's something like a teenager is not going to
37:54
Speaker 1: understand that, no, right, I'm your child show up for
37:58
Speaker 1: you know, teenagers are one wonderful but incredibly self centered,
38:03
Speaker 1: like they are the center of their world. So I
38:06
Speaker 1: don't think the teenage cat would have had the ability
38:09
Speaker 1: to think right. And I have to say, like Dell, yes,
38:13
Speaker 1: she did not show up for her child, but a
38:15
Speaker 1: lot of parents don't a lot of people are selfish
38:18
Speaker 1: as adults, and even without this tragedy, right, So, it
38:23
Speaker 1: was nice that they finally had this moment. I just
38:25
Speaker 1: wish that it wasn't such like a blip.
38:28
Speaker 2: You wanted more, you wanted like a big emotional But
38:31
Speaker 2: that's not dope.
38:32
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I was happy that they
38:35
Speaker 1: finally did it. And she goes on to say how
38:37
Speaker 1: her heart is full now that they are back in
38:40
Speaker 1: her life, and like, I'm telling you, this is like
38:43
Speaker 1: the most, like vulnerable, like we've seen Dell be with Cat,
38:48
Speaker 1: and she's you know, expressing how happy that she's there
38:52
Speaker 1: with them, and Kat says that she's thankful that Delle
38:56
Speaker 1: sent that letter, and Delle's like, I swear it was amazing.
38:59
Speaker 1: And now this flashback of Alice leaving the farm putting
39:05
Speaker 1: the letter in the mailbox, the mailbox outside their home
39:10
Speaker 1: where she dropped it in like a blue postal box.
39:14
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was just funny. So now we
39:16
Speaker 1: know confirm that it was Alice who a sent the letter.
39:19
Speaker 1: This is the countdown to the end.
39:21
Speaker 2: So Finn the dog comes in and he's soaking wet,
39:23
Speaker 2: and Dell's like Finn and he has a ball and
39:28
Speaker 2: this comes at you real fast and furious. So Dell says,
39:30
Speaker 2: he just can't stay out of the pond. And in
39:32
Speaker 2: this moment, Kat has a memory of Jacob saying, I
39:36
Speaker 2: saw that dog again, and he plops the baseball on
39:38
Speaker 2: the table much like the one Finn has just dropped
39:40
Speaker 2: at their feet, and we get another memory of Cat
39:44
Speaker 2: dropping Jacob off at home after the carnival, and we
39:47
Speaker 2: hear after she sends them into the house and she
39:50
Speaker 2: by the way runs off into the woods again, which
39:52
Speaker 2: is such a bizarre choice, but we hear the dog
39:54
Speaker 2: barking in the background. Cut to present day Cat. She
39:57
Speaker 2: has a memory the Almanact from early where they see
40:00
Speaker 2: the Jacob and Cat logo. She runs to the family
40:02
Speaker 2: almanac and she sees that the page right before that
40:05
Speaker 2: is torn out, but she's more focused on a quote
40:07
Speaker 2: on the side of the page that says the explorer
40:10
Speaker 2: found a home, but he still looks to the stars
40:13
Speaker 2: when he feels lost. A lot of questions here. We
40:15
Speaker 2: get another memory Jacob and Kat looking at his glow
40:18
Speaker 2: in the dark stars as children, and Jacob saying, did
40:20
Speaker 2: you know the explorers used to look to the stars
40:22
Speaker 2: when they got lost? In comes Alice to Kat looking
40:26
Speaker 2: at the almanac and ask what she's doing and I apologize.
40:29
Speaker 2: So this is when we have the memory of Cat
40:31
Speaker 2: running away after dropping Jacob off, but we get that
40:34
Speaker 2: moment continuing. Jacob goes out the front door and he
40:37
Speaker 2: chases the dog running back to the pond. He chases
40:41
Speaker 2: them right up to the edge of the pond and
40:42
Speaker 2: we see Finn jumping in. We don't see Jacob go in,
40:46
Speaker 2: but we do hear a splash. Cat tells Alice back
40:50
Speaker 2: in present day, Jacob chased Fin to the pond on
40:52
Speaker 2: the night Cat saved him, and in comes Dell asking
40:55
Speaker 2: what is going on, and Kat turns and says, I
40:58
Speaker 2: know what happened to Jacob. A tidle secrets on the
41:01
Speaker 2: screen that says Port Haven, New Brunswick, eighteen fourteen. And
41:06
Speaker 2: here's this opening scene again of the woman running through
41:10
Speaker 2: the woods. And there's been a lot of speculation about
41:12
Speaker 2: who that woman is. And I will say that we
41:14
Speaker 2: never speculated this. We see everything that we saw and
41:18
Speaker 2: from behind, knowing what I know now, and like, that
41:20
Speaker 2: looks more like Alice's hair than Dell's hair. I agree, yes,
41:23
Speaker 2: And then they swing around to the front and it's Cat, Yes,
41:27
Speaker 2: with incredibly long hair now, and she says, I'll be
41:30
Speaker 2: back for you, Jacob. I promise, and into the pond
41:33
Speaker 2: she goes. I have so many questions. I came this morning.
41:39
Speaker 2: I was like, you're gonna have to explain this me.
41:42
Speaker 2: But I don't think we have any of the answers.
41:44
Speaker 2: So question one is how long has she been there?
41:46
Speaker 2: Right in the past? We don't know, But because her
41:49
Speaker 2: hair is so long, my feeling is she's been there
41:51
Speaker 2: a long time, but how does that affect present day?
41:53
Speaker 2: That's the other thought I had is if she's been
41:56
Speaker 2: there for a long time, a year two for her
41:59
Speaker 2: hair to be grown out like this. Again, I'm leaning
42:01
Speaker 2: heavily on the hair because I feel like it's an
42:03
Speaker 2: important detail. What's happening in present day? Where's Alice? Because
42:09
Speaker 2: has she just left her daughter behind?
42:13
Speaker 1: Yeah?
42:13
Speaker 2: I don't know. Now, you and a previous episode had said,
42:16
Speaker 2: are we just going to keep traveling to different time
42:18
Speaker 2: periods now? And you know you really didn't want to
42:23
Speaker 2: a back to the future three situations? Yes, but I'm
42:25
Speaker 2: not sure that we had really envisioned this, had you
42:29
Speaker 2: her spending time in eighteen fourteen?
42:31
Speaker 1: No, And I got to tell you at the end
42:33
Speaker 1: of the episode last night, I was like, I've enjoyed
42:36
Speaker 1: revisiting the nineties in the early two thousands. I don't
42:39
Speaker 1: know if I want to visit eighteen fourteen.
42:43
Speaker 2: Interesting. And then the other thing I said earlier, I
42:46
Speaker 2: think it's fortuitous that Elliott has ended this relationship because
42:50
Speaker 2: Kat isn't done with the past. The second she realized
42:54
Speaker 2: what happened to Jacob, we knew she wasn't going to
42:57
Speaker 2: be able to resist going back to the pond. We
43:00
Speaker 2: have the same insight into her experiences in the past
43:02
Speaker 2: as we do about Alice's right, I think we can
43:05
Speaker 2: assume that the pond took her to eighteen fourteen. But
43:09
Speaker 2: is Jacob living there as a child? But that lots
43:11
Speaker 2: of questions, tons of questions.
43:14
Speaker 1: I'm excited for season two, but again, I don't know
43:17
Speaker 1: if I want to, Like, I mean, we're just gonna
43:19
Speaker 1: totally lose our fun noticed in the ninety segment.
43:22
Speaker 2: Yes, we are going to have to redo our segments
43:25
Speaker 2: for season two. I have one more question. Yeah, why
43:29
Speaker 2: doesn't Dell recognize Alice? That's a good question. Your daughter's
43:36
Speaker 2: best friend twenty three years from now reappears in your life.
43:40
Speaker 2: Alice had a significant impact on their life. Is it
43:44
Speaker 2: just the trauma of the time she doesn't have access
43:47
Speaker 2: to those memories. Well, I think I.
43:49
Speaker 1: Recall from an earlier episode this season, Kat asking Dell,
43:53
Speaker 1: do you remember my friend Alice?
43:55
Speaker 2: And Dell is like not really, hmm, that sounds familiar.
43:58
Speaker 1: But she was there quite a bit, and why can't
44:01
Speaker 1: Dell remember that?
44:02
Speaker 2: And late we have these scenes like we had last
44:05
Speaker 2: episode where it's just Dell and Colton and Alice, and
44:08
Speaker 2: Alice is at the funeral with a handful of other people.
44:13
Speaker 2: Seems to me, I would remember everyone at my husband's
44:16
Speaker 2: funeral if there's only seven people there, right, So Dell
44:20
Speaker 2: might be the biggest mystery and all of them. I agree.
44:23
Speaker 2: I agree. You were gonna mention something about Byron Well,
44:27
Speaker 2: I had said last episode, I don't think we're done
44:29
Speaker 2: with Byron, But in this episode, Byron bounces, and then
44:33
Speaker 2: when we get to the end of the episode, I'm
44:37
Speaker 2: very curious to see how these characters are we gonna
44:40
Speaker 2: spend more time in eighteen fourteen. Is it going to
44:43
Speaker 2: be like a back and forth situation like we've had
44:45
Speaker 2: I hope so. I really like the contrast of the
44:48
Speaker 2: present day in the past. I'm very curious if Kat's
44:51
Speaker 2: going to be spending an extended period of time in
44:54
Speaker 2: the past. Maybe. Well.
44:57
Speaker 1: This is another thing too, is like if we're not
44:59
Speaker 1: going to be revisiting in the nineties anymore, how sad
45:02
Speaker 1: that we're not gonna have those We're not gonna see.
45:04
Speaker 2: Those characters, those actors anymore. We're never gonna see Colton again.
45:07
Speaker 1: Maybe not, which really bumps me out. I really like
45:10
Speaker 1: Jefferson Brown. I would love to see him in a
45:13
Speaker 1: something else. All those actors who played the younger versions
45:16
Speaker 1: I thought were great, Like, we're not gonna see them anymore.
45:19
Speaker 2: Well, and if we get Jacob back, are we going
45:21
Speaker 2: to get him back in twenty twenty three? So Dell's
45:25
Speaker 2: going to be raising this eight year old nine year old.
45:27
Speaker 1: Jacob's not coming back to twenty twenty three, I don't think.
45:30
Speaker 2: But if they get him back at all, are they
45:33
Speaker 2: going to return him to the nineties.
45:35
Speaker 3: I don't know.
45:36
Speaker 1: It's too much for my brain to compute. I'm dying
45:40
Speaker 1: to be in the writer's room. I would love to know,
45:42
Speaker 1: like what they're doing here.
45:43
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to say I thought this was
45:46
Speaker 2: a very satisfying season finale. Yes, I agree, so many
45:50
Speaker 2: open threads that I had kind of forgotten about. I'm
45:53
Speaker 2: glad they touched on the Zoe Spencer of it all right,
45:58
Speaker 2: They're not leaving things hanging?
46:00
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, I felt like, Okay, thank you for
46:04
Speaker 1: answering those things.
46:05
Speaker 2: Now we have opened up this other new portal. Yes,
46:09
Speaker 2: there was enough answered to get me excited about season two.
46:14
Speaker 2: I wonder when season two will come out you think
46:16
Speaker 2: next year? Well, someone asked and on an official Hallmark
46:19
Speaker 2: one of the social media accounts, and they said, we
46:21
Speaker 2: don't have a release date. Yeah, so we don't know
46:25
Speaker 2: the answer of that. But this was a great time.
46:27
Speaker 2: I loved recapping this show. Yeah, this was a great show.
46:30
Speaker 2: As of the recording of this episode, I have not
46:33
