Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
0:13
Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm
0:15
Speaker 1: a former Homemark hater. We are back to discuss the
0:19
Speaker 1: season premiere of The Way Home, season four, episode one,
0:23
Speaker 1: which originally premiered on the Hallmark Channel on Sunday, April nineteenth,
0:28
Speaker 1: and is currently available to stream on Hallmark Plus. We're back, Wendy,
0:33
Speaker 1: we are back. I have a mixed feelings about it. Oh,
0:37
Speaker 1: we talked about it before. I don't want this show
0:39
Speaker 1: to end. No, I don't want the show to end either,
0:40
Speaker 1: and having it back, we just talked about another show
0:44
Speaker 1: where I was like, Oh, it was like my old
0:45
Speaker 1: friends having them back. I mean I was instantly emotional
0:48
Speaker 1: in scenes in this episode. Were you. We'll get into
0:51
Speaker 1: it as a reminder, last year, y'all showed up in
0:54
Speaker 1: a big way for us in our Way Home recaps
0:59
Speaker 1: with our listener mail bag episode Yes So Fun. We
1:03
Speaker 1: had so much feedback that we were doing weekly listener
1:05
Speaker 1: mail bag episodes and so we'd love to continue that.
1:08
Speaker 1: The best way to reach us is via email. Hello
1:11
Speaker 1: at Girlsgone Hallmark dot com. You can also leave us
1:13
Speaker 1: a voice message nine four nine three two nine eight
1:17
Speaker 1: zero nine zero with any thoughts you have on these episodes, theories, questions, feedback.
1:24
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear it all. Yeah, I love it.
1:26
Speaker 1: Those are such fun to record. I agree, And they
1:28
Speaker 1: really give me thinking too about things I haven't thought
1:31
Speaker 1: about and maybe that is a possibility or this way
1:35
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know. I love it, love it. It
1:37
Speaker 1: has been a full year since we've seen an episode
1:41
Speaker 1: of the Way Home. Really, yes, because it started in January. Oh,
1:45
Speaker 1: you're right, So you and I had said I'm going
1:50
Speaker 1: to do a full deep dive rewatch. I did not,
1:53
Speaker 1: and then life got in the way. I didn't either
1:56
Speaker 1: best laid plans. But I do think it's important that
2:00
Speaker 1: we start with a little bit of a recup of
2:02
Speaker 1: where we left off in season three, because they will
2:05
Speaker 1: no pun intended drop us into the deep end in
2:07
Speaker 1: this first episode. Yeah, I texted Megan. I was like,
2:10
Speaker 1: I'm so lost, what is happening here? It was fast
2:15
Speaker 1: and furious. This is mon series that you can pick
2:17
Speaker 1: up in season four. Nope, you'll have no idea what's
2:20
Speaker 1: going on? Who are these people? What are they doing?
2:22
Speaker 1: Why is Elliott sad? Yeah? So let's run over the
2:26
Speaker 1: big plot points from the finale. Okay, let's start with
2:30
Speaker 1: the biggest one of all, the horse No, just kidding,
2:36
Speaker 1: I'm kitty if you know, you know, the Colton reveal. Yes,
2:41
Speaker 1: Colton learns who Alice is. Colton learns that Jacob comes home.
2:46
Speaker 1: Alice and Colton have a beautiful moment on the banks
2:50
Speaker 1: of the pond. You're telling me like I've heard it
2:53
Speaker 1: for the first time, Like no, meaning, I'm receiving it
2:56
Speaker 1: like I've heard it for the first time. You're looking
2:58
Speaker 1: at me, and I was like, am I wrong? You know,
3:00
Speaker 1: I'm like, you could be wrong. There're a lot and
3:03
Speaker 1: I think it's important for viewers of this show because
3:07
Speaker 1: it's been a year. This is the problem when it's
3:08
Speaker 1: been a year. You and I watched this show, talked
3:12
Speaker 1: about this show, recorded feedback on viewers every single week.
3:16
Speaker 1: And still I'm reading this and I'm going, oh yeah,
3:18
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah. So that was the emotional core
3:24
Speaker 1: of the show. We also, you know, it's so healing
3:30
Speaker 1: in that moment for Colton to learn these things that
3:36
Speaker 1: Jacob does come home, even though Colton won't be there
3:39
Speaker 1: to see it, that he got a chance to meet
3:42
Speaker 1: and spend time with and get to know his granddaughter.
3:45
Speaker 1: I just had an epiphany. We're not going to see
3:47
Speaker 1: Colton at all this season. I think they have closed
3:50
Speaker 1: a chapter on that. I think so too. We do
3:53
Speaker 1: not see him in this episode. Yeah, we see a
3:55
Speaker 1: lot of young Coulton. Hmm. That bums me out. I know.
3:59
Speaker 1: I love Jefferson Brown so much. I do feel like
4:02
Speaker 1: we closed the door on the Jefferson Brown of it
4:04
Speaker 1: all in this final episode of season three. That's so emotional.
4:09
Speaker 1: I cried when I watched it. I cried when we
4:10
Speaker 1: talked about it. I get chills talking about it. But
4:13
Speaker 1: when he says the road we're on leads to you, Alice,
4:16
Speaker 1: it's just the loveliest, most wonderful, warm. As much as
4:20
Speaker 1: I would have hated if this season had ended, it
4:23
Speaker 1: might have been enough. And season three, if YE ended
4:25
Speaker 1: it there, yeah, it might have been enough. Dell finally
4:29
Speaker 1: time travels in this right, so she gets to go
4:32
Speaker 1: back and see her own wedding as she hears Colton's
4:36
Speaker 1: demo tape. There's been so many secrets between the two
4:39
Speaker 1: of them, big and small, and it kind of feels
4:43
Speaker 1: like Dell is a little bit at peace at the
4:46
Speaker 1: time travel of it, Like she can kind of understand
4:50
Speaker 1: how it's appealing to her daughter and granddaughter because there
4:53
Speaker 1: was a time when she said, Alice, don't talk to
4:56
Speaker 1: me about this. Yeah, she was real close to leave
4:58
Speaker 1: the past in the past. I don't want to revisit
5:01
Speaker 1: all of this. Yeah. Well, now I wonder if if
5:04
Speaker 1: Dell has you know, not closed the chapter on Colton,
5:09
Speaker 1: but is ready to move on now she's healed. Yeah, yeah,
5:14
Speaker 1: what else? We find the clock in the wall? Yeah,
5:17
Speaker 1: do you remember? Do you remember last season? We're like,
5:20
Speaker 1: because didn't they like find a piece of it and
5:22
Speaker 1: we're like, what is that piece? What does that go to?
5:25
Speaker 1: You know? We're like, is this gonna unlock the the
5:28
Speaker 1: ability to jump forward? Yes? Oh my god, put your
5:34
Speaker 1: clown suits on. Seriously, we sound crazy. Put a tenfoil
5:37
Speaker 1: hat on me. My goodness. There is an inscription on
5:40
Speaker 1: the clock that says time passed and time future and
5:43
Speaker 1: in between is the still point of now find me there.
5:47
Speaker 1: The metal piece is a pendulum. It's not a key,
5:51
Speaker 1: right right. That inscription is a ts Eliott quote. We're like,
5:55
Speaker 1: what is the clock mean? What does the clock mean?
5:57
Speaker 1: Season three opened with the baby on the banks of
5:59
Speaker 1: the Ripo. We spent the entire season saying who baby, Yeah,
6:03
Speaker 1: is the baby Casey is Jacob the parent? Who's that baby? Well,
6:07
Speaker 1: the baby's Elliott. The person who left Elliott on the
6:10
Speaker 1: banks of the river was in fact his mother. His
6:12
Speaker 1: mother didn't leave in the way that Elliott believed. My
6:17
Speaker 1: eyes are shifting from side to side because her name
6:20
Speaker 1: is Tessa, and then we have t s Elliott. I'm
6:24
Speaker 1: sure there's no correlation there, guys, but this is what
6:27
Speaker 1: happens when I watch this show. I'm trying to pick
6:29
Speaker 1: up on every freaking Easter egg and it drives me
6:32
Speaker 1: bonkers for ten episodes. Yeah, and some of it matters
6:36
Speaker 1: and some of it doesn't. The horse, the horse, just wait,
6:39
Speaker 1: I got a little I got a little tidbit for
6:42
Speaker 1: you later on. I can't wait. Okay, she jumps, Tessa
6:46
Speaker 1: jumps with a Landry because only Landry's can time travel
6:49
Speaker 1: via pon. We don't know who that person is. The
6:52
Speaker 1: baby is delivered by someone in season three, we don't
6:55
Speaker 1: know who it is to young Dell and Colton. Right.
6:59
Speaker 1: That episode actually ends in the present day with Sam
7:03
Speaker 1: standing on the banks of the pond, calling Dell saying
7:05
Speaker 1: everything's going to be okay, and she says, how do
7:08
Speaker 1: you know? And he says, I just do. And that's
7:11
Speaker 1: when it like pulls back and you see him on
7:12
Speaker 1: the pond and you think, well, he must time travel
7:15
Speaker 1: if he knows. What does Sam know? I mean, we've
7:17
Speaker 1: known something's going on with Sam, yeah, but we just
7:19
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. The whole time Sam has
7:21
Speaker 1: been sus, the entire Sam's been sus. I will say
7:26
Speaker 1: no clarity on Sam in this first episode. I have
7:30
Speaker 1: some prediction. Oh okay. Cat and Elliott again. A common
7:35
Speaker 1: theme of season three was Tomcat Calliot. If you'll recall
7:40
Speaker 1: someone's threatened, someone threatened to sue us over an Instagram ple,
7:48
Speaker 1: y'all should see my face. I do. I do miss
7:51
Speaker 1: the Tomcat of it all. But in this episode, Cat
7:54
Speaker 1: and Elliott are in a good place and they kind
7:56
Speaker 1: of agree almost to start over, to start fresh, to
7:59
Speaker 1: let go of their perceptions of each other from the past.
8:02
Speaker 1: Elliot's like, I've been wanting you to be this vision
8:06
Speaker 1: of who I've seen my entire life, and now I
8:08
Speaker 1: need to come to know you as you are, and
8:11
Speaker 1: Kat sees that he has the Augustine ring, Susanna's ring,
8:15
Speaker 1: and there's a hint like you know in due time,
8:18
Speaker 1: the proposal is coming in due time. Finally, we have Casey,
8:22
Speaker 1: who we learn as K period C period. We do
8:25
Speaker 1: not learn what that stands for. They're a Goodwin. We
8:28
Speaker 1: do learn that Casey is not the child of Alice.
8:31
Speaker 1: Alice confronts her, It's like, who are you? Are you
8:34
Speaker 1: my child? I don't remember that detail, like they're kind
8:37
Speaker 1: of passing. I remember the scene, but I don't remember
8:40
Speaker 1: the detail, like does Casey say Casey says no, does
8:44
Speaker 1: not say who they are or how they're related. Okay,
8:47
Speaker 1: so that's still a mystery, still a mystery. In that interaction,
8:52
Speaker 1: there's a wild scene that's almost too rushed. Casey shows
8:55
Speaker 1: up at the farmhouse. She shows up with Susanna's original
8:59
Speaker 1: will and apparently Lingermore was originally supposed to be left
9:01
Speaker 1: to the Landryes. The Goodwin's had illegally changed it, and
9:05
Speaker 1: this is the leverage that they're going to use to
9:09
Speaker 1: keep the land Goodwin good Wine from sending Jacob to prison.
9:13
Speaker 1: Right for Arson, Casey also does slip and mentioned Dell's letters.
9:18
Speaker 1: They know about the letters that Dell has been receiving,
9:21
Speaker 1: but we don't know what they know or how they're
9:24
Speaker 1: involved in those letters, right, Yeah. The line between Alice
9:28
Speaker 1: and Casey is I'm your mom, Max Goodwin is your dad,
9:30
Speaker 1: and Casey goes nope, and then that's that's all right,
9:34
Speaker 1: because I had forgotten that Alice was spinning out thinking
9:36
Speaker 1: that she ended up with mat Max. Yeah, okay. In
9:41
Speaker 1: this episode, there's also some insinuation that perhaps Danny was
9:47
Speaker 1: involved in sending the letters to Dell, because we see
9:51
Speaker 1: a typewriter at Danny's house and you know our We're like,
9:54
Speaker 1: there's a day. Yeah. Again, we don't know what this means,
9:59
Speaker 1: so there are still many many questions. At the end
10:02
Speaker 1: of season three, Jacob is left, what's going on there?
10:06
Speaker 1: Sam is hiding something. We still don't know who Casey is,
10:10
Speaker 1: where they're from. We don't know for sure the providence
10:14
Speaker 1: of the letters Todell, we don't know what lie necessarily
10:17
Speaker 1: they're talking about. We assume it's about Jacob, but we
10:20
Speaker 1: don't one hundred percent know that Fern's whole cryptic sixty
10:24
Speaker 1: five there they thrive sixty five and twenty five. What's
10:27
Speaker 1: going on there? Where's Elliott's mom? Who did Elliott's mom
10:31
Speaker 1: jump with that? Alice, Noah and Max love triangle of
10:35
Speaker 1: it all? And again the horse. Until I have confirmation
10:41
Speaker 1: that there is nothing to do with the horse, I
10:43
Speaker 1: will ride on. Let's take a book break, and we
10:46
Speaker 1: will come back to discuss Season four, Episode one, show
10:50
Speaker 1: Me The Way to Go Home? Are you ready to
11:01
Speaker 1: discuss season four Episode one, show Me the Way Home? Honey? Yeah?
11:05
Speaker 1: You want a synopsis? Hit me with the details or
11:10
Speaker 1: lock thereof new journeys and new revelations await the Landry
11:14
Speaker 1: family across generations and time. That's it. That's all you got.
11:18
Speaker 1: We will not be doing news and notes in this episode,
11:21
Speaker 1: but if you like full details, we run it down
11:23
Speaker 1: many times. You can find them in our show notes
11:25
Speaker 1: for this episode at Girls Gone Hallmark dot com. You
11:27
Speaker 1: can click straight through in the podcast player that you
11:30
Speaker 1: are currently listening in. Why don't you hit me with
11:32
Speaker 1: the first impression of this episode? I think we're going
11:34
Speaker 1: to be easy into season four, but we've damaged to
11:37
Speaker 1: Elliott before the opening credits. Poor Elliott really goes through
11:40
Speaker 1: it in this episode. My first impression is I felt
11:44
Speaker 1: much like Elliott and the Ferns all tangled up throughout
11:48
Speaker 1: this entire episode. I mean, Elliott can't catch a break
11:51
Speaker 1: in this episode. The pawn walk take me in. Sorry,
11:55
Speaker 1: I'm no Shade. Evan Williams, no shade. I just thought
11:59
Speaker 1: that was like so emotional at the end, you know,
12:01
Speaker 1: he's he was so like holding off his mom the
12:04
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't want I don't want anything
12:06
Speaker 1: to do with it. I don't want anything to do
12:07
Speaker 1: with it. And then finally when he accepts and he
12:09
Speaker 1: tries to go, and he's like, damn it, the pond
12:12
Speaker 1: is not going to take you where you want to go.
12:14
Speaker 1: So I think we need to talk about I think
12:16
Speaker 1: those first impressions are if you haven't watched this episode,
12:20
Speaker 1: please know going into this this episode is a lot
12:24
Speaker 1: and I think it's asking a lot of the viewers.
12:26
Speaker 1: This is not a casual watching show. This is a
12:29
Speaker 1: phone's down, eyes up, pay attention. And I think we
12:33
Speaker 1: just spent eleven minutes going over the details of the
12:38
Speaker 1: season finale. There's so much we're still dealing with coming
12:43
Speaker 1: into this episode, and they just don't miss a beat,
12:47
Speaker 1: not at all. Let me ask you. When this episode opens,
12:52
Speaker 1: we get text on the screen. This, I feel like
12:55
Speaker 1: the first time we've gotten text on the screen to
12:58
Speaker 1: tell us where in time we're at. Ohs like New
13:01
Speaker 1: Brunswick eighteen twenty four or whatever where you see the
13:04
Speaker 1: White Witch running through I don't remember. Wow, maybe you
13:08
Speaker 1: probably are right, but I never I've never seen a
13:11
Speaker 1: say the future, ever been to the future before. I
13:14
Speaker 1: thought they couldn't travel to the future. What. Wait, that's
13:21
Speaker 1: a new revelation. I know. Did anybody else pick up
13:25
Speaker 1: on that? I know there's a hand thrusting into the pond.
13:30
Speaker 1: And my notes are like, is a cat? It's Kat,
13:32
Speaker 1: And we hear Kat say I wish he was here
13:35
Speaker 1: for this. Oh, my notes say I wish she was
13:39
Speaker 1: here for this. Oh. I listened twice, and you could
13:43
Speaker 1: be correct. I did not have captions for this because
13:46
Speaker 1: I watched on a screener the same. So let's just know.
13:51
Speaker 1: But I think Dell says he's with us in spirit.
13:54
Speaker 1: Let's let's pull it out. Let's do it. Let's pull
13:58
Speaker 1: it up and see. Because I assumed that they were
14:01
Speaker 1: talking about Tessa. Oh, I thought they were talking about Jacob.
14:06
Speaker 1: Oh it is he? Who are they talking about? Colton
14:15
Speaker 1: Jacob Elliott who don't know. Wow, look this, there's so
14:20
Speaker 1: much about this. There's so much about this first episode
14:23
Speaker 1: that follows the formula of that first episode. Every first
14:28
Speaker 1: episode of every season has launched a mystery that we
14:30
Speaker 1: have to solve. Who's the white Witch? Who's the baby
14:33
Speaker 1: in the basket? This is once again where are they?
14:35
Speaker 1: Who is the heat? What is the day? Because again
14:39
Speaker 1: Alice says, come on, it's almost time for the ideas
14:42
Speaker 1: and today's going to be the best day. But they
14:45
Speaker 1: all look like their present day selves. We see lanterns
14:49
Speaker 1: strung down near the jumping point in the pond. Yeah,
14:52
Speaker 1: that's a first Yeah, I was like, why are we
14:54
Speaker 1: decorated all the way down to here? Coming from I
14:57
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. That's kind of our cold open. Wow,
15:03
Speaker 1: it really has me thinking, now there are many questions intentionally, Okay,
15:07
Speaker 1: the next thing we have, they're in the present, present
15:11
Speaker 1: time and we hear Kat in a voice over telling
15:14
Speaker 1: Elliott that maybe his mom isn't really gone, but she's
15:16
Speaker 1: time traveling. This must have been a reference to a
15:19
Speaker 1: conversation last season, don't you think. Yeah, at the end
15:22
Speaker 1: of the season, right, that was the whole Yeah, Okay,
15:25
Speaker 1: so She's references the clock and it's message and Elliott's
15:31
Speaker 1: mom's desire to be found by Elliott. And they're all
15:33
Speaker 1: getting ready to jump in, and then who's lurking in
15:35
Speaker 1: the background. Sam, It's kind of shaking his head. I
15:39
Speaker 1: thought a little bit like, oh, I just saw like
15:42
Speaker 1: a little like what are these bozos doing? That kind
15:45
Speaker 1: of vibe? I thought, or maybe like what do you Yeah,
15:49
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I don't know. And then
15:52
Speaker 1: they jump, and you know, they're under the water, and
15:55
Speaker 1: that's when you can hear like baby crying and all
15:57
Speaker 1: kinds of like voices and whatever. Then we get a
16:00
Speaker 1: flashback scene to the baby on the bank and the
16:03
Speaker 1: young couple jumping. So now we are to assume that
16:06
Speaker 1: the young couple is Elliott's mom, Tessa and a Landry.
16:11
Speaker 1: The question is, who's the Landry with her? Right? Is
16:13
Speaker 1: it Sam? Is Sam Colton's brother Griffin? Yeah? I don't know.
16:18
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard about Griffin before we knew about
16:20
Speaker 1: him last season? Because we kept saying, where's Colton's brother?
16:23
Speaker 1: I don't remember. There was some theory because don't you
16:28
Speaker 1: remember Brion Heldman saying, yeah, dell'sman mackint on your brother
16:31
Speaker 1: the whole time only. Yeah, that's right. Can you imagine
16:38
Speaker 1: you're Elliott, you come through the pond, there's a baby
16:41
Speaker 1: on the banks of the pond, and you're like, that's me.
16:43
Speaker 1: She just left me here. Yeah, that's pretty she just
16:46
Speaker 1: left me. It would be real hard to take. Yeah,
16:50
Speaker 1: but we don't know what Tessa's motivation was. I don't
16:55
Speaker 1: think she was a band. Was she abandoning him? What's that?
16:58
Speaker 1: Let her say, take care of him? Basically? Okay, Well,
17:03
Speaker 1: whoever that Landry was that was jumping with her was
17:05
Speaker 1: probably like, somebody's gonna come along and find this baby.
17:07
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fine, they hope. Come on, this is
17:11
Speaker 1: the portal. Somebody's gonna come by here any minute. This
17:14
Speaker 1: baby will be fine. Here. It's a bus every fifteen
17:18
Speaker 1: minutes through this pond. I don't know why Elliott's like
17:20
Speaker 1: so distraught because he lived a life. He didn't He
17:25
Speaker 1: wasn't left there to die. He lived his story is okay, yes,
17:31
Speaker 1: so he's like, she love for me to sit for
17:33
Speaker 1: myself here. Now, you watch Apolla thirteen, you know those
17:36
Speaker 1: astronauts live and still it's very tense when you think
17:39
Speaker 1: he assuming got a problem. Yeah, okay, I think Elliot's
17:42
Speaker 1: just going to continue to butt me this season. Sorry,
17:46
Speaker 1: don't send your emails. We learned that Cat's the one,
17:50
Speaker 1: you know. They do try and take the baby back
17:52
Speaker 1: to Elliot's dad he's gone, which makes Elliott's spiral more.
17:55
Speaker 1: He's like, my dad was gone on a work trip,
17:57
Speaker 1: and then my mom left, like she loved me, with
18:01
Speaker 1: nobody to adult me, adult me, supervise me, take care
18:06
Speaker 1: of me, parents me, and they drop him at the
18:08
Speaker 1: Landry Farmhouse and Elliott's like they did anyone seem surprised.
18:14
Speaker 1: You can't e your Elliott jeez? All right, then I'm
18:20
Speaker 1: roody for Elliott and Kat. Well then unless Tom comes back?
18:24
Speaker 1: Then where Tom? Is that his name? Thomas? Yeah? At
18:28
Speaker 1: the end of season three, we learned that Thomas didn't die.
18:31
Speaker 1: Cat thought he died. He doesn't die, and Ellie it's like,
18:33
Speaker 1: oh no, and she's like, it's okay, I choose you.
18:36
Speaker 1: I think we're moving on. I My prediction is Thomas
18:39
Speaker 1: does not factor into season four. You think that chapter
18:41
Speaker 1: is closed too? No, Christopher Holden read no, Jefferson Brown,
18:46
Speaker 1: and we jump forward seven months and to me that's
18:48
Speaker 1: when this episode kind of starts. Okay, I have a
18:51
Speaker 1: question before we get into that part of this episode.
18:54
Speaker 1: Because this show was canceled or the writers were told
19:00
Speaker 1: this show was not going to continue after season four
19:02
Speaker 1: while they were filming this season, do we feel like
19:06
Speaker 1: these scenes might have been like added in to complete
19:10
Speaker 1: the circle on some of these stories. I would like
19:13
Speaker 1: to know the details. My understanding from people who are
19:17
Speaker 1: deep divers in the Facebook groups is that it's really
19:20
Speaker 1: only the final two episodes that were adjusted to account
19:23
Speaker 1: for it. Got it. I don't claim that to be
19:26
Speaker 1: a fact. That is simply my understanding. Got it. So
19:29
Speaker 1: we're going to break down the rest of this episode
19:31
Speaker 1: in terms of some of the main plot points we
19:33
Speaker 1: have running as opposed to doing it chronologically. First, we
19:36
Speaker 1: got Alice, and Alice is graduating Fro High School and
19:41
Speaker 1: she's maybe in a love triangle. A lot about this
19:44
Speaker 1: episode is reminiscent of episode one. We have her in
19:47
Speaker 1: a field writing a song. Kay's like, oh, hello, my
19:51
Speaker 1: little songwriter. Yeah, I don't care about any of that stuff. Really,
19:54
Speaker 1: do you not think there's like maybe something more to
19:57
Speaker 1: the fact that she wasn't ready to perform, like she
20:01
Speaker 1: leaned on Colton song. Oh interesting, or is it simply
20:05
Speaker 1: that you know because max is max is pushing her.
20:11
Speaker 1: Let's rewind a little bit. The kids are planning a fundraiser,
20:15
Speaker 1: some sort of auction to raise money as like their
20:17
Speaker 1: senior gift to the high school. Right, And as Kat
20:19
Speaker 1: and Alice are driving there, did you happen to hear
20:22
Speaker 1: the song that plays in the car that they sing
20:25
Speaker 1: along with that's from season one, episode one, when they
20:30
Speaker 1: arrive in Portavin. Oh really, I'm gonna be down by
20:33
Speaker 1: the way. Yes, And I remember I am heartbroken by
20:37
Speaker 1: your reaction because I thought that was a stunningly beautiful
20:41
Speaker 1: scene when they sing together in this episode. Yeah, I
20:44
Speaker 1: just was like, I thought they were giving too much.
20:47
Speaker 1: It's a performatives go back to season one. It's a
20:51
Speaker 1: strong callback to season one. Okay, like that song because
20:55
Speaker 1: I did actually watch season one episode one. That's why
20:57
Speaker 1: I recognized got it the song God? And in that
21:01
Speaker 1: Kat's like, there's a whole other thing well that we'll
21:04
Speaker 1: talk about. Kat's spinning out and Alice is like maybe
21:07
Speaker 1: we're the complicated ones with our boyfriends, and Kat's like,
21:09
Speaker 1: you got a good one. And I was like, who's
21:11
Speaker 1: Alice's boyfriend? And she walks into the point and Max
21:15
Speaker 1: and Noah are both standing there, and I was like,
21:17
Speaker 1: who's it gonna be? Oh, I just assumed it was
21:20
Speaker 1: gonna be Noah. It's Noah. Both of these dudes are
21:23
Speaker 1: real cute. She and Max kiss last season. Yes, I
21:27
Speaker 1: don't remember that. I'm sorry. That's why she thought Kesey
21:32
Speaker 1: was her kid, right. I was actually kind of disappointed
21:34
Speaker 1: that she was with Noah, Like Noah's really because I
21:37
Speaker 1: think there's something between her and Max. Oh. I think
21:40
Speaker 1: they'll get there eventually. I think they're more similar. I
21:43
Speaker 1: think he's better for her. We see in this episode
21:47
Speaker 1: Max is pushing her to be the very best she
21:50
Speaker 1: can be because she says like, oh, Max helped me study,
21:53
Speaker 1: and Noah supported me. Noah brought me French fries. And
21:58
Speaker 1: we also see she calls Max. She's like, we're best friends. Yeah,
22:02
Speaker 1: she does say best friends. You was my best friend. Yeah. Well,
22:06
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I feel like that's accelerated since
22:09
Speaker 1: we last saw them. That friendship. And even Elliott is
22:12
Speaker 1: like that poor kid, he loves her. Yeah, Elliot can
22:15
Speaker 1: see from the outside perspective of like, oh, that's the
22:18
Speaker 1: dude that's pining for her, and she has fallen for
22:21
Speaker 1: the guy that is like her dad. Yes, so at
22:27
Speaker 1: this fundraiser we get there. An Alice is supposed to
22:29
Speaker 1: sing her original song, and just like season one, episode one,
22:32
Speaker 1: she freezes on stage instead of running off, this time
22:36
Speaker 1: she does sing one of her grandfather's songs, which is beautiful.
22:39
Speaker 1: I love it when Sadie the Flames Note sings. Yeah,
22:42
Speaker 1: she's got a great voice. It made me wonder, like,
22:45
Speaker 1: why aren't they releasing this music. I have no idea
22:48
Speaker 1: they should. But Max later is like, yo, you need
22:52
Speaker 1: to believe in yourself, Like you got into this incredible school.
22:55
Speaker 1: It's going to mean nothing if you can't stand on
22:57
Speaker 1: your own two feet. Basically, she got into NYU. She's
23:02
Speaker 1: going to tish the other. My question about all of this, though,
23:06
Speaker 1: is Noah's physically missing throughout much of this episode. He
23:11
Speaker 1: says like, oh, I'm so sorry, can't be there, and
23:12
Speaker 1: then they FaceTime him at one point, what like he's
23:15
Speaker 1: not even at her graduation. Yeah, he had a family reunion,
23:19
Speaker 1: but what's going on there? Like, is this simply a
23:21
Speaker 1: filming conflict and he couldn't be there? For like the
23:25
Speaker 1: actor wasn't available. Why have Noah not physically present? Is
23:32
Speaker 1: there a story reason or a logistical reason? I don't know.
23:36
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Maybe they just want to put
23:38
Speaker 1: more pressure on Max and Alice having a reason to
23:42
Speaker 1: be together without Noah present. Because at all, I feel
23:48
Speaker 1: like Noah's been a big question mark throughout all of this,
23:52
Speaker 1: Like he kind of disappears a lot. Yeah, oh he's
23:55
Speaker 1: a time traveler. Could you have met? No, he's not
23:59
Speaker 1: a landry because be weird. So yeah, I don't know,
24:05
Speaker 1: And I think we should talk about the Brady of
24:06
Speaker 1: it all. Brady's here, He's kind of still a blowhard.
24:10
Speaker 1: I know. It's nice though that her dad is present. Sure,
24:13
Speaker 1: I mean he showed up for the big things. He's
24:15
Speaker 1: like foot in the wheel. Oh yeah. It was a
24:18
Speaker 1: real pissing contest between Brady and Elliott. Yeah, like I
24:21
Speaker 1: arrest I kind of did love. You know. Brady's like, oh,
24:25
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I could have worked hard to provide this,
24:26
Speaker 1: and Ellie it's like, oh working hard at generational wealth. Yeah,
24:29
Speaker 1: look funny they buy a car, dell Cat and Elliott
24:34
Speaker 1: buy our car. But this is so stupid, Like it's
24:35
Speaker 1: cute that they buy our a car. I thought the
24:37
Speaker 1: same thing, and she's like, oh, it's the tie between
24:40
Speaker 1: you know, your two favorite eras. That's cute, right. They
24:42
Speaker 1: give her like the Boldwagen Beetle or whatever. Brady's like,
24:46
Speaker 1: how's she gonna take a car to New York. She's like,
24:48
Speaker 1: she's not gonna sit here. I'm like, why did you
24:50
Speaker 1: buy her a car? And so keep it on the
24:51
Speaker 1: farmhouse so stupid? She could drive it a winter break
24:53
Speaker 1: in the Port Haven snow. We know the pond freezes. Yeah,
24:56
Speaker 1: that's not exactly a four wheel drive on the country roads.
25:00
Speaker 1: Maybe that car is going to be a new travel portal.
25:06
Speaker 1: Yeah it is the horse. I don't know. Okay, yeah,
25:10
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of weird too. It's the
25:12
Speaker 1: first thing I thought. I was like, why did you
25:13
Speaker 1: buy a car? She's moving to NYC? Yeah, well, we
25:16
Speaker 1: gotta go back. Let's talk about Cat and Elliott and
25:18
Speaker 1: Tessa first. I want to talk about the Cat and
25:20
Speaker 1: Elliot of at all. I get this sense by your
25:23
Speaker 1: subtle reactions that you d gaf about the Cat and Elliott.
25:28
Speaker 1: I'm not tied to their romance. It's like, okay, finely,
25:31
Speaker 1: do you think it's not going to happen. No, I
25:34
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. Yeah, I just I'm not
25:37
Speaker 1: emotionally invested in them as a couple because I found
25:42
Speaker 1: Cat and Tom to be super believable, and I found
25:46
Speaker 1: Cat and Susannah to be equally intriguing. I agree with
25:51
Speaker 1: both of those points. I do. I think this show
25:55
Speaker 1: is all in on Cat and Elliott's freaking out. She's like,
26:00
Speaker 1: why hasn't he asked? But we know that Elliott's plan
26:03
Speaker 1: is to ask at the end of summer, and I'm
26:06
Speaker 1: sure Alice knows that. So she's just like, mom, chill,
26:09
Speaker 1: chill out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well Dell knows. So yeah.
26:12
Speaker 1: It's funny because Kat was like pushing Elliott away and
26:16
Speaker 1: now she's like, all right, I'm all in put a
26:18
Speaker 1: ring on it. I'm not believable. I don't know. It's
26:21
Speaker 1: been seven months at this point. We jump forward, I
26:23
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have to assume there's a wedding
26:25
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Oh my god, that's
26:26
Speaker 1: how they're going to end a season. That's how this
26:29
Speaker 1: series is going to end. As their wedding. We're going
26:31
Speaker 1: to see a new time traveler looking on from the past,
26:33
Speaker 1: and that they're going to leave this open ended thing
26:35
Speaker 1: that they never got to wrap up. We learn they
26:39
Speaker 1: were not supposed to be using the pond. In theory,
26:40
Speaker 1: they have not been using the pond. Sorry, I just
26:42
Speaker 1: had a thought. Didn't Herbie the love Bug traveled her time?
26:49
Speaker 1: I don't know your pictures Alic's driving this book traveling
26:55
Speaker 1: through the Wait? Am I wrong? I feel like I
26:58
Speaker 1: feel like you're picturing Ron's magical car in Harry Potter
27:07
Speaker 1: his flying car. Wait her we all love bug? Do
27:11
Speaker 1: you remember her? Is this before your time? It's before
27:14
Speaker 1: your time too. I don't think it flew. It appeared
27:17
Speaker 1: to Oh it was before my time? I told you.
27:20
Speaker 1: But did they travel through time with us? I did
27:23
Speaker 1: Herbie the love Bug time travel? No? Okay, Ron show guys, okay,
27:30
Speaker 1: but apparent according to you, it flew. And I'm picturing
27:34
Speaker 1: Harry and Ron driving to Hogwarts. Yes, Ron's flying car. Okay.
27:38
Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be time traveling. Elliot wants them
27:40
Speaker 1: to let it go, and so in theory, they haven't
27:42
Speaker 1: been using the pond. We discovered that Kat keeps trying
27:45
Speaker 1: to jump and the Pond's not letting her. I'm sure
27:48
Speaker 1: Kat's gonna do whatever she wants. Do you remember we
27:51
Speaker 1: have talked for three seasons that you know. Do you
27:54
Speaker 1: remember we were saying that cripple Yes, and her justification
28:03
Speaker 1: is Fern told me I go back. She told like,
28:05
Speaker 1: we hadn't met yet, and we had met before, and
28:09
Speaker 1: she know, She's like, I know, I gotta I gotta
28:10
Speaker 1: keep trying. I know, I go back. Elliott has a
28:13
Speaker 1: weird dream. Yeah, I got Elliott looked real hot when
28:16
Speaker 1: he woke up from this dream. And so the first
28:20
Speaker 1: time I saw him in this perspective of him laying down,
28:23
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was, I was like, oh, hello.
28:25
Speaker 1: Also no glasses. Also no glasses. Yeah, I don't I
28:28
Speaker 1: don't know. But yeah, he has this weird dream. He's
28:29
Speaker 1: chasing presuming that's his mom, and she's running toward. He's
28:34
Speaker 1: like stop stop, and then he has the sledgehammer and
28:38
Speaker 1: is breaking it into the wall, like back to his
28:40
Speaker 1: renovations on his house. Yes, to where he finds the clock, right,
28:45
Speaker 1: and then he wakes up from the dream, and then
28:46
Speaker 1: he sets the clock back up, like he pulls the
28:49
Speaker 1: clock out of the drawer. This is not a dream anymore. Huh,
28:53
Speaker 1: sets the clock back up, and then when the clock
28:56
Speaker 1: hits eleven ten, because I watched that class, Oh, it
29:02
Speaker 1: plays like an alarm a song. The song I'm not
29:06
Speaker 1: familiar with. It's like a baby malady, isn't it. H Yeah,
29:10
Speaker 1: And he turns and looks at it like it's the
29:12
Speaker 1: first time he's ever heard it do that. So I
29:16
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening there. No, I don't know what's
29:18
Speaker 1: happening there either. But when he takes the clock out
29:22
Speaker 1: of wherever he was keeping it, it's wrapped in a blanket.
29:24
Speaker 1: The blanket that he found the clock in, that's all
29:27
Speaker 1: the blanket he was wrapped in in a photo that
29:30
Speaker 1: they'll later find. Yes, there's a whole time capsule element
29:34
Speaker 1: we'll talk about in a minute, But as part of
29:36
Speaker 1: Alice's time capsule, she finds a suitcase, and the suitcase
29:42
Speaker 1: belonged to Tessa, and the suitcase had a photo of
29:44
Speaker 1: Tessa and Elliott, the only photo Elliott has ever seen
29:47
Speaker 1: them because his dad, being the monster that he is,
29:51
Speaker 1: got rid of all of them, right, And that's when
29:54
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, that's the same blank at the clock
29:56
Speaker 1: was wrapped in the other thing. It clears up is
29:59
Speaker 1: Kat was trying to make it case for Tessa being
30:01
Speaker 1: the sixty five and twenty five for nonsense of it all,
30:04
Speaker 1: My I just had to tap out all this math
30:07
Speaker 1: that they were trying to no, and he's like, that
30:09
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. She wouldn't be the right age. It
30:10
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. They see her driver's license in the
30:14
Speaker 1: suitcase and it confirms that he was wrong about her
30:17
Speaker 1: birth year, and in fact, the sixty five and twenty
30:20
Speaker 1: five math of at all maths out and so at
30:22
Speaker 1: this point they're like, we gotta go, we gotta go
30:25
Speaker 1: jump because of some more reasons we'll discuss in a minute.
30:27
Speaker 1: And they jump, and this is when we get Elliott
30:30
Speaker 1: left behind, sobbing onto Dell's shoulder. The pond wouldn't let
30:34
Speaker 1: me go, and I did feel for Elliott in that moment.
30:37
Speaker 1: It really is Yeah, I mean, either Tessa's gonna come
30:40
Speaker 1: back or not. I mean we're gonna get Tessa, I
30:43
Speaker 1: think eventually. All right, before we move on, can I
30:47
Speaker 1: point out that after that scene, Elliot comes to Dell,
30:51
Speaker 1: Dell consoles him. Then Dale goes into her room and
30:53
Speaker 1: she pulls out a picture of nineteen seventy five Dell
30:57
Speaker 1: with nineteen seventy five Colton and a woman who is
31:00
Speaker 1: probably Tessa, and then that photo is ripped, like it's
31:04
Speaker 1: the the other person in the photo is ripped, Yes,
31:08
Speaker 1: that's right. Why one who's in the photo? We would
31:12
Speaker 1: assume that maybe it would be Elliott's dad. Yeah, maybe
31:16
Speaker 1: they just ripped it because he was a bad guy,
31:18
Speaker 1: or maybe it's because Then the other thing is they
31:21
Speaker 1: go to Dell and they're like, who could she have
31:23
Speaker 1: jumped with? You knew her, who could she have jumped with?
31:25
Speaker 1: And then Elliot's like, it could have been a lander
31:28
Speaker 1: from any time. You may not have even known who
31:30
Speaker 1: this person was. It could be Sam. It could be
31:34
Speaker 1: Sam with Tessa in that picture. No, it could be
31:37
Speaker 1: well maybe, but it could be Sam whom she jumped with.
31:40
Speaker 1: Perhaps because I can't I keep coming back to like, oh,
31:44
Speaker 1: maybe Sam is Elliott's dad, But no, we can't do that.
31:47
Speaker 1: We can't go down and we're not going down that road. No,
31:50
Speaker 1: I think Elliott's dad is Elliott's dad, because there would
31:52
Speaker 1: be like Kat would be like cousins, No, no, no, no,
31:56
Speaker 1: And then we got a count of this honestly is
32:02
Speaker 1: my least favorite element of this episode, and it's the
32:05
Speaker 1: time capsules. Why you say your least favorite, Well, I
32:09
Speaker 1: thought that was kind of boring, but I think it's
32:10
Speaker 1: an important purpose. Okay, Dell's like digging, digging, digging. There's
32:14
Speaker 1: all these whole Eliot trips and balls, and she's like, oh,
32:16
Speaker 1: I'm looking for something. She's looking for her time capsule
32:18
Speaker 1: that she and Colton buried prior to the birth of
32:22
Speaker 1: their first baby. It was originally meant to be opened
32:26
Speaker 1: on Cat's graduation, but Cat bounced she and Dell were
32:29
Speaker 1: not in a good place. Cat leavest to be with Brady.
32:32
Speaker 1: All of this, I think the purpose of this is
32:36
Speaker 1: to bring some resolution to Cat and Dell's relationship. Finally,
32:41
Speaker 1: I wrote in my notes, look at that growth. Dell
32:44
Speaker 1: accepts a lot of responsibility, Cat accepts her apology. Hopefully
32:50
Speaker 1: we can move on from this. It's been three seasons
32:54
Speaker 1: of them being at each other's throats and seeing a
32:56
Speaker 1: little bit of forward progress. And then Dell has to
32:59
Speaker 1: Dell and kind of, you know the Catherine of it all,
33:03
Speaker 1: You know that tone that she gets. Tell me what
33:06
Speaker 1: you thought about the time capsules? Well, we have the
33:09
Speaker 1: time capsule, the scene where they're getting ready to bury
33:13
Speaker 1: it and Grandma Fern comes running out and it's like,
33:16
Speaker 1: you have a letter from your brother, and inside of
33:19
Speaker 1: it is their wedding and invitation with a note on
33:23
Speaker 1: the back that says like, hopefully I'll see you. And
33:25
Speaker 1: then there was a pocket watch sure in there, and
33:28
Speaker 1: Grandma Feren's like, oh, you should put it in the
33:31
Speaker 1: time capsule, and Cole at this point is like, this
33:34
Speaker 1: is for our future child. They won't even know who
33:37
Speaker 1: my brother is, which I thought it was kind of
33:39
Speaker 1: weird because why wouldn't their future child know who their
33:43
Speaker 1: uncle is. Yeah, and I don't know if it was
33:47
Speaker 1: just in reference because he and Griffin the brother don't
33:51
Speaker 1: have much of a relationship. Yeah, Griffin's not physically there, right,
33:55
Speaker 1: But then Cole says, okay, let's do it. Maybe maybe
33:59
Speaker 1: we'll reconnect, and then that was the end of it.
34:02
Speaker 1: And I thought, except we do see dell As holding
34:07
Speaker 1: the pocket watch at the end. Do you think there's
34:10
Speaker 1: a chance that it's like a Lockett style situation? There's
34:14
Speaker 1: a photo in there, and she's gonna see young Sam. Oh.
34:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Either I don't. I
34:19
Speaker 1: don't know this. We don't know the significance of that.
34:20
Speaker 1: Yet the clues are leading me to believe that Sam
34:24
Speaker 1: is Griffin, Sam's name the brother. So, but I still
34:28
Speaker 1: can't understand why, Like, nobody realizes that, nobody realizes this
34:34
Speaker 1: is a small town. Nobody goes, pill looks a lot
34:37
Speaker 1: like Colton the brother. Yeah, what's your name, Griffin, Samuel?
34:42
Speaker 1: You go by Sam even I don't know is Griffin's
34:45
Speaker 1: middle name Samuel. I have no idea. I'm just taking
34:50
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, what if they open it and there's
34:55
Speaker 1: an inscription on the inside of the watch that says
34:57
Speaker 1: Griffin Samuel Landry and she goes, so, Okay, I don't know.
35:06
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say about the time capsule stuff,
35:09
Speaker 1: though I agree like it fell a little bit too
35:11
Speaker 1: on the nose in terms of what you would expect
35:15
Speaker 1: through time travel. I mean, Alice writes her letter to
35:18
Speaker 1: my future child, Dear little One, Dear Little which is
35:22
Speaker 1: the same opening in the letter that Dell writes to
35:26
Speaker 1: their future child, and is the same opening that Tessa
35:29
Speaker 1: wrote to Elliott in that note Nice. I don't know
35:34
Speaker 1: what the correlation between all three of these have to
35:36
Speaker 1: be okay. But the weird thing about it to me
35:39
Speaker 1: is Dell is isn't Dell pregnant? No, they're just gonna
35:43
Speaker 1: get married. They just get pregnant quickly. But they're getting married.
35:47
Speaker 1: So there is a future child. When Dell writes, dear
35:50
Speaker 1: little one, Tessa has a baby, Alice is neither married
35:55
Speaker 1: nor pregnant. She's just assuming the existence of a future child. Caasy.
36:00
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, you know, I paused it and
36:03
Speaker 1: I read it. There was nothing particularly dynamic about the letter,
36:06
Speaker 1: in my opinion, other than like I'll roads lead back
36:09
Speaker 1: to here in family, et cetera. Maybe we'll see that
36:13
Speaker 1: time capsule come to be important. Or maybe that time
36:17
Speaker 1: Caunsul was simply a vehicle for us to find Susannah's suitcase. Yes,
36:21
Speaker 1: we don't know when. When we heard Alice's voiceover, I
36:25
Speaker 1: thought we were going to see someone reading the letter.
36:28
Speaker 1: Oh that would have been awesome. But we don't. We
36:30
Speaker 1: just hear Alice reading the letter over a few scenes
36:33
Speaker 1: at the end. One final thing about Kat the speech
36:37
Speaker 1: she gives to Alice at Alice's graduation. I cried. I
36:41
Speaker 1: cried too, of course, I thought of you oh, thank you.
36:44
Speaker 1: And now I was like, should I write some of
36:46
Speaker 1: these notes down because this is great if I give
36:47
Speaker 1: a speech at my own daughter's crush I thought we didn't.
36:51
Speaker 1: I didn't give a speech at my son's graduation, and
36:54
Speaker 1: I am I a terrible parent. No, I got a
36:56
Speaker 1: second pancake to do that too, right A. Well, I
37:00
Speaker 1: did love Dell's line. That's the bittersweet gift of mom
37:03
Speaker 1: loving heart and letting go. I mean, I feel that
37:06
Speaker 1: I wrote it down because I'm going to try to
37:07
Speaker 1: say it. I think it's so good. Needle pointed on
37:11
Speaker 1: a pillow. Totally, that's great. Let's do that. Okay, finally
37:16
Speaker 1: we have Jacob. I got a question. Okay, is Spencer
37:21
Speaker 1: McPherson busy another show to work on? I know he's
37:24
Speaker 1: on that other show, that school Spirit show or whatever.
37:27
Speaker 1: What the frick are you not going to be around
37:29
Speaker 1: this season? Is he not going to be around though?
37:31
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but he's on the
37:34
Speaker 1: LAMB right now. He ran away. I do kind of
37:37
Speaker 1: get it the whole I thought it was kind of okay.
37:41
Speaker 1: The opening of this episode is fully chaotic. Delle's freaking
37:45
Speaker 1: out that Jacob's left, Danny shows up. Danny's like I
37:47
Speaker 1: saw him at the bus stop. And then Danny sees
37:49
Speaker 1: the letters and he's like, dell, I'm so sorry. I'll
37:51
Speaker 1: help up with whatever I can. Yeah, it feels guilty
37:53
Speaker 1: because he wrote those letters, right. And then Sam shows
37:58
Speaker 1: up and Deale's like, we gotta go get him, and
37:59
Speaker 1: so like she's like the pull the bus is speed speed,
38:06
Speaker 1: poor Haven. They stop the bus. Can you imagine Jacob
38:09
Speaker 1: and your Mommy's like, get off the bus, get it.
38:28
Speaker 1: He's like wild eyed. I was embarrassed for him. Classical.
38:39
Speaker 1: I do think Jacob makes a good point. I gotta
38:41
Speaker 1: make it on my own. I mean, he makes a
38:46
Speaker 1: good point, you're right, and he's like, look, those letters
38:50
Speaker 1: are what put y'all in trouble, So I gotta go
38:54
Speaker 1: like he's trying to protect the family. He's trying to
38:56
Speaker 1: protect the family. I do think he could make it
38:58
Speaker 1: on his own import Haven, but maybe not. Maybe there's
39:01
Speaker 1: too much history. He leaves, we learn that he hasn't
39:04
Speaker 1: really been in touch, but Cat's been keeping him in
39:06
Speaker 1: the loop, and you don't you know in that moment,
39:09
Speaker 1: she's like, all right, I get it. She doesn't like it. Yeah,
39:12
Speaker 1: what is she gonna do? It's that goes back to
39:15
Speaker 1: that bitter, sweet, loving blood letting it go. Yeah. Yeah.
39:19
Speaker 1: In this episode, Alice gets a one I assume is
39:22
Speaker 1: a graduation gift from Jacob who's in Toronto, and Kat's like,
39:25
Speaker 1: what's it doing in Toronto? And it's a set of
39:28
Speaker 1: the Alice in Wonderland books, and he's like, you can
39:29
Speaker 1: have your own set when you go. Before she leaves
39:32
Speaker 1: for her graduation, she's like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
39:35
Speaker 1: It's that like gif with like the numbers floating around
39:38
Speaker 1: her head. And she pulls out her own Alice in
39:41
Speaker 1: Wonderland book and it seems like maybe there's something hidden
39:43
Speaker 1: in the new one, but we don't. Oh, I clocked
39:46
Speaker 1: it as different, would you clock it? As? She's like
39:49
Speaker 1: feeling the cover in the new book with his message
39:54
Speaker 1: written on it. She goes to the old one and
39:56
Speaker 1: looks at it, and she lifts it up and looks
39:58
Speaker 1: at it. I think a page has been torn out
40:00
Speaker 1: old book. Like that same page there's out of the
40:05
Speaker 1: old book. I don't know why she was feeling it though,
40:08
Speaker 1: I don't know. She's like, I can maybe she's gonna
40:10
Speaker 1: rub Pencilia. There's an impression on it. I don't know,
40:16
Speaker 1: but that that is unresolved. That leaves us with nine
40:19
Speaker 1: episodes to go. I got a bunch of questions I
40:21
Speaker 1: do too, Can I start? Yeah? When Alice goes to
40:25
Speaker 1: the Goodwin's house and Lewis is watching, to talk about that, okay,
40:28
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead ahead. But Alice goes to the
40:30
Speaker 1: Goodwin's house and Lewis is watching the films that he
40:33
Speaker 1: had won at the fundraiser, and he explains to Alice, Oh,
40:39
Speaker 1: these are audition films for a silent movie that are
40:43
Speaker 1: my ancestors were trying to launch here in Port Heaven,
40:47
Speaker 1: and the investors pulled out like on the day whatever.
40:51
Speaker 1: So what we see on screen are like all these
40:53
Speaker 1: actors and they're like doing their silent film like auditions
40:57
Speaker 1: or whatever. Lewis leaves the room. Alice then sees a
41:02
Speaker 1: woman who comes on screen and she holds up a
41:04
Speaker 1: sign that her name is Fern Landry. So this is
41:07
Speaker 1: young Fern. And then as she's watching, she sees her mom,
41:11
Speaker 1: Kat jump into frame and then like they're scared at something, right, Okay,
41:15
Speaker 1: So this becomes like this through line, this is confirmation
41:18
Speaker 1: that Kat was in nineteen twenty five. Did you notice
41:22
Speaker 1: on the sign that Fern held that had her name
41:26
Speaker 1: on it? It had her character name on it, Cassandra.
41:30
Speaker 1: And I don't remember a lot of things, a brand
41:34
Speaker 1: of a goldfish here or whatever the say name is right,
41:36
Speaker 1: but I remember Cassandra. A name of Cassandra in last season?
41:40
Speaker 1: Was that the ghost in Lingamore? Remember they would do
41:43
Speaker 1: the Ouiji board and Evelyn was like, there's a ghost
41:46
Speaker 1: here named Cassandra m. And then at that time in
41:51
Speaker 1: last season we were like Cassandra, Cassie Casey, like we're
41:55
Speaker 1: talking about all this thing. There is a reason why
41:58
Speaker 1: this character's name is Cassandra. I think you might be correct.
42:02
Speaker 1: I don't know why. That good job. I don't know
42:04
Speaker 1: why either. The woman who plays young ferns stunning, stunning,
42:08
Speaker 1: and I actually think looks like Kyler Lee a little bit. Yeah.
42:11
Speaker 1: There's a photo of them, a press site photo of
42:14
Speaker 1: them standing side by side, and their faces are similar.
42:18
Speaker 1: So crazy to me. In fact, at one point I was, well,
42:20
Speaker 1: they would be because it's her. Great, yeah, but not
42:22
Speaker 1: in real life. You know you're right, you're right, But
42:26
Speaker 1: but I thought I thought for a second, I was like, wait,
42:29
Speaker 1: is that Kyler? Obviously it's not, it's a different actress.
42:32
Speaker 1: That was my big like, what does that mean? What
42:36
Speaker 1: other questions do you have? We know that Tessa has
42:39
Speaker 1: some connection to Evelyn because in her suitcase there were
42:41
Speaker 1: two tarot cards that Alice clocks as from Evelyn's deck,
42:45
Speaker 1: and she's like, do they know each other? And Delle says,
42:47
Speaker 1: yes they did, But what's the connection there? Don't know.
42:52
Speaker 1: Will we see Evelyn again this season? I hope so.
42:54
Speaker 1: At the end of the episode, when Alice jumps into
42:57
Speaker 1: the pond after Kat jumps in when Elliott couldn't. Oh yeah,
43:02
Speaker 1: So Alice emerges and she's greeted by old Fern in
43:06
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five, I have to presume, and Cat emerges
43:09
Speaker 1: and she's greeted by young Fern, so in nineteen twenty five.
43:12
Speaker 1: The pond takes you where you need to go? Why
43:14
Speaker 1: does Alis need to go back to nineteen seventy five?
43:17
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. They both say the
43:19
Speaker 1: same thing, when are you from, Dearie? Yeah? I think
43:22
Speaker 1: that's so cute. I love it. We knew Fern new
43:25
Speaker 1: was all knowing? Yeah, right, I just have questions that
43:29
Speaker 1: are unanswered. Okay, let me hear well, you know, some
43:32
Speaker 1: of our unanswered questions remain who jumped with Tessa, what
43:36
Speaker 1: happens to Fern? What scared her in nineteen twenty five?
43:39
Speaker 1: Her and Kat? Sam? Maybe I don't know? You know,
43:43
Speaker 1: we don't see Casey in this episode at all. Where
43:46
Speaker 1: are they? That question remains unanswered. Who are they? Where?
43:50
Speaker 1: And when are they? Does Elliot time travel again? Or
43:54
Speaker 1: our Kat now is simply responsible for reuniting him? You know?
43:58
Speaker 1: Is there more to know about Alice song and her
44:01
Speaker 1: inability to commit to her own music? Or is that
44:05
Speaker 1: just you know she's a kid and still finding her
44:07
Speaker 1: own voice? Oh? The Noah versus Max of it all?
44:10
Speaker 1: How's that love triangle gonna resolve? I like it? Who
44:13
Speaker 1: is Sam? And will Jacob return? Good question? You said
44:18
Speaker 1: you had something to say about a horse. No, I
44:20
Speaker 1: just think it's funny. Oh you said like I got
44:23
Speaker 1: a little no I have no no, no. Mine was
44:25
Speaker 1: the Cassandra God. This has to be coincidence. For all
44:32
Speaker 1: the seasons, every episode has been named after a song, right,
44:35
Speaker 1: And the title of this one is Show Me the
44:37
Speaker 1: Way to Go Home? And I was like, I'm not
44:39
Speaker 1: familiar with that song, so I googled it. It was
44:42
Speaker 1: written in nineteen twenty five, oh by Jimmy Campbell and
44:48
Speaker 1: Red Connolly, but most people remember it from the movie Jaws,
44:54
Speaker 1: which came out in nineteen seventy five. Wow, that has
44:58
Speaker 1: to be coincidence, right in her rest. It's got to
45:02
Speaker 1: be coincidence. Yeah, real, real coincidency though. Yeah. Well, that's
45:07
