• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Really, a couple quick things to say about The Way
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Home before we jump into our recap. Yeah, I'll start
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: episode three this week. The episode we're reviewing pulled in
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: one point four million live viewers, so they're staying pretty
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: steady with their views there hasn't really dropped off, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is great. Yes, I'm very happy to see that. I've
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of good hype from the community, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: would say around the show. I think it's being well received.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I really like it, so I hope others are enjoying
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it too, because I want to see it keep going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: me too. I hear we have some behind the scenes
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: news for episode three.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: We have a new director in episode three.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And it is Namisha MoU Kourgie. So far, she is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: credited with two episodes, so I think we're going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get episode three and four director right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And she's an award winning director, writer, and producer. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just excited to have like a female behind the camera.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Actually, I don't even know show like this. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but side note, I don't know who directed the first
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: two Grant Harvey. Oh okay, so it was a dude. Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And Grant Harvey is more of a TV series director
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: than a movie director, for what it's worth. So looking
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at his directing credit, it's a lot of TV series,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: which of course is what we're talking about. But I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: would say he's not deep in the Hallmark universe.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Was my point there, right, And while Nimisha isn't either,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: she is known for her documentaries.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: However she's done. She's done shows like Big Shot on Disney,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: plus a show that I love of Virgin River, a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: couple episodes of that, an episode of a show called
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The Imperfects. She is from Canada, so I believe a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: lot of these the steps she the work she does
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is Canadian. Yeah. Well, let's drop into our recap of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The Way Home episode three. I don't want to miss
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a thing. Are you ready for a synopsis?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I am Alice falls in love with the past and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: has her first kiss, Kat starts a job with the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: local newspaper, and Dell deals with bittersweet memories attached to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Colton's boat.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Alice falls in love with the past. I love that line,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: do you I do? I think it's great with what
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: we know happens in this episode, yes, double meaning, mm hmm.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: All right. This episode opens, we have Dell cooking breakfast
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and Cat comes in and Dell's gonna Deell. She tells
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Kat to look for a job. Kat wants to keep writing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Dell tells her she needs to prove that she can
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: make money as a writer. Like that, that little bit
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of softening we got at the end of episode two,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's gone. She's back to being hard ass Dell, get
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: your butt to work, Cat.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think by the third episode here, I'm a
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: little bit tired of this conversation, Like, Kat, it's time
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to do something now, or Dell, you need to leave
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it alone.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But honestly, Kat really needs to do something. You feel
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like Dell is right. I do, and I know that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: different from how you feel. Well, I don't feel like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: she's wrong. But again, we're three at the timeline. Is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there maybe three days in Yeah, before it takes a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: minute to find a new job. I think you're you're
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: soft and sweet. You're gonna be that mom that lets
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: your adult children live at your house forever. I think, perhaps, yes,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I am a little I'm a little bit of a softie.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't lived at home since I was seventeen years old.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Alice enters, and she's full of sunshine and she puts
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: mint in Cat's tea. She's been up early working on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the farm apparently, and she says she's going to quote
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: head out to hang out with Spencer and Zoe Dunk.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but I was like, oh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: she's got friends. I'm so naive you are. I'm thinking
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: teenager's gonna lie. It was. This was kind of funny
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because I s a mom to a fifteen year old.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I would my little radar would be up if she
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: came in and was chipper.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: As Alice was. Something is going on totally well, you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Alice says, oh, in time, I found my place again
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: once again. It's been three days. So while even though
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we could make an argument for Cat getting to I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: do think it is still early days for Alice to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: have found her place among a new group of peers.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was funny. But like you, Cat's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: radar is peaked and she asks, Dell, are there drugs
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: here now? Which I thought was so funny, and Lle
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: tells her to chill. Yeah. See, and this makes me
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: wonder like Dell being so kind of chill, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: considering that she lost a child or a child who
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: went missing. Yeah, and she's just so very like, oh,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it's fine, Alice is gonna be fine. Is very sus
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to me agree, So I'm curious to see how this
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is gonna play out. This mother daughter moment is interrupted
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: by someone arriving at the farm. We hear voices outside,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and Dell and Kat go outside to investigate. Mm hmmm.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So we have two strangers essentially, and they're like, hey,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: we heard about this boat might be for sale, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we're interested.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And then of course we get a flashback scene Dell
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: is remembering when Colton brings the boat home and he's.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Like, look at Delli, look at this great boat. He's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: like so hyped for it, and she's it's pretty stunned
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that somebody wants to take the boat from her. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: first want to say high five to the editing team
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in this episode. There are so many great flashbacks interwoven
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with these scenes, I think, on a greater volume than
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: we've seen in the past episodes, and it just lends
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so much more information. The pacing in this episode is great,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but Dell's reaction surprised me, not that she was upset,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but she agreed. I think it's time to let her go. Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I was a little surprised too, But then again, not
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: because why did she be holding onto this boat for
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so long when she has gotten rid of mostly everything else?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Unless because it's because it's Colton, But I mean she
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: did get rid of his stuff too, so or that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it's easier to throw away a box full of items
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and much harder to ditch a giant boat in a dumpster. Yes,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And to your note about the editing and how great
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they like weave in these like memories to give us
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like content and everything. Very hard to do when you're
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: writing notes for a great a podcast. I know nineteen
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: eighty nine, present day, nineteen ninety nine and present day.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Well this is a flashback, but we're not actually in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: ninety nine. Okay, okay, okay, yeah, oh my goodness, gracious,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: but it's it's done very well, it is. It's an
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: enjoyable watch. Yes, And then we get our opening title,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: no opening music, nothing, just the way home. Nope. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Alice the next thing, Alice is in the pond. We
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are in nineteen ninety nine, and she comes across the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: backpack that Elliott has hidden for her that has dry clothes,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: which then solves the problem of her always being wet
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: when she arrives to Kat's house. Right. Yeah, I wondered
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: had they had a discussion about that, because you went
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: right to it, And I originally thought, oh, good job,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you stashed clothes, and then we find out via no
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that it's Elliot's doing right exactly, and he picked out
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: some terrible clothes for her. Actually, I didn't think it
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was that bad. It looked like like a moo moo,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know, a prairie dress, but something was wearing
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. I mean, she had like cute Doc
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Martin's on with it and like, uh, it works to me.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But Kat was horrified when she saw it. Kat was like,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: what are you wearing? Kat was horrified. So as Alice
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: walks away from the woods, we hear there she goes
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: by sixpence None the Rich are playing and I'm gonna
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: call this our first notice in the nineties moment. It
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is background music. But yes, let me I did a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: little deep dive on this song. First of all, it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: originally came out in nineteen eighty nine by a band
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: called The Laws there like an English band. It never
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: really charted here in the States, and then sixpence None
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the Richer re released it in nineteen ninety nine horror
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: movie called snow Day. But for me, this song, how
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: many times have I watched Gilmore Girls. It is in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the first episode of Gilmore Girls, which also came out
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in that two thousand Okay, so it was a hit.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He to that anyway, This is where I see like
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a parallel of like two shows. For me, Gilmore Girls
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: always had excellent music in it, and now we're seeing
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: this show, which I feel so far has also had
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: really good music in it. So there are these like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: little similarities that I really am enjoying. I agree. I agree.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They're like almost like, you know, Gilmore Girls is kind
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of the classic mother daughter drama show. It's almost like
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a nod to that show that laid the groundwork for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: future shows like this. M agree. And if you've ever
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: watched and I know this is not a Gilmore Girls podcast,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: but if you've ever watched Gilmore Girls as a parent,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it's a totally different story than watching it as a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: young adult. We see the boat in nineteen ninety nine first,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and then Alice is greeted by Colton Indel and Kat
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: calls to her through a window and when she walks
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in her and we get that scene Lenny reference where
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: she says, what are you wearing? Yes? Yes, And the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: best part here in this whole scene is something I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: did as a teenager and what we see Kat doing
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and she is waiting for the song to come on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the radio so she can press a record on her
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: tape recorder. Loved it to make a mixtape. Alice says,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: mixtapes are so vintage and cat and maybe my favorite
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: line in the show says, this is a CD player
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and a tape player. Yeah, man, you were balling with
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a CD player and a tape player, just like the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: TV that had the VCR built into it too, right,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had one of those.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So of course she's playing Britney Spears Baby Hit Me
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: One More Time. This was the best selling single of
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, still hit in twenty twenty three. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: think I think we need some sort of like notice
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in the nineties like music when we have these moments,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: because that's definitely a notice in the nineties moment for me.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: A one hundred percent. And then we have a moment
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: where Alice picks up Cat's copy of Alice in Wonderland.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: This is the second time we've seen this book in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this show. You know, part of me wonders, is it
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: just an allusion to the fact that Alice is kind
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of like through the looking glass, like she's gone back
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in time? Or is this book canna have some greater
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: meaning that we're not fully aware of yet. Yeah, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, And also we never have an explanation of like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: how Alice was named to Alice. Did Kat name Alice
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: after the book or did Cat name Alice after the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: friend that she had in nineteen ninety nine?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Alice is named after herself because in the first episode,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I remember, she says she named me after me she
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: had she had been told she was named after her
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: childhood friend Alice. I know, But why is there no
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like connection to the Alice in Wonderland book. Yeah, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that's a good question. I guess we don't know yet
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that there isn't. Yeah, right, And then Elliott comes running
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in guys, I got it. And the next scene notice
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in the nineties pew peo pew, we hear the dial
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: up Internet sounds of our youth. Do you remember getting
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the AOL CD and the mail? Yes? I do. For me,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it was a hard cell to get my parents to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: let me to sign up for it, Like they didn't
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: know what it was. What are we paying because you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: had to pay for a subscription to have AOL? Right,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: what are we paying for? So when I was finally
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: allowed to get AOL and set it up, and by
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the way, it took forever, yes, yes, it was a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: big day for me too, so I could feel that moment.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I remember I would take the like the phone line
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: because at that time your it was a dial up modem.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You were using your regular like landline at home. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I would be on the Internet and somebody would pick
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: up the phone to use the phone and I'd be
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: like and it would disconnect me, and I'm like, damn it,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm on the Internet. I am high emming. Oh my goodness.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It took me back to hear that modem sound, and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it makes me so sad, like our children will never
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: understand that. I'll never understand the struggle. They walk around
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: with a computer in their hands all day. Right, you know. Look,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: when I went to college, we had to have a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: special card, like a piece of hardware installed in our
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: computers in order to be able to access the really
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: cool high speed internet on campus. Like it was no
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: WiFi was plugged into a wall, and I had to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: have like someone from the IT department come to my
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: dorm room and installed in my computer. And that person's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: name was Nick. Alton is a friend of mine to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: this day. Oh funny, But I mean the things we
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: went through to get the Internet. Yeah, it's funny. It's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: really funny to be like to hear Kat say something like,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: why can't you just call her? Yeah, it was kind
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of a new frontier. It was very cool to talk
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to people like all over the world, you know. Yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Alice says, Yeah, the Internet is a really big deal.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Where I come from. Next scene, we are back in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: present day and Elliott, what's funny? Just one of Kat's lines? Okay,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: we are back in present day and Elliott is at
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the and Kat is reaching her new book as.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: A Laura Ingalls Wilder but with cars, and she is
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: immediately hung up on which I don't hate it. She's
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: just trying to get that book deal, but doesn't want
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to write the story about Jacob Obviously, Monica comes refills
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Kat's coffee. She basically shades her on drinking more coffee
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and about drinking alcohol because Kat says something in how
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: she wants something harder.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But you know they're at a diner. Yeah, it's clearly
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the morning, I mean exactly. Wanica says, Oh, I used
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to need alcohol on hard days too, which you know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, a little too holier than that in
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that moment, I agree. Agree. We cut back to nineteen
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: ninety nine and everyone's standing around the boat, and this
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: is where we meet young Danny Sawyer and we learned
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that my prediction last week was correct. This is a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: buddy of Jacob's right bff. Then Kat is on team boat.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: She wants this boat to happen. Dell's not totally sold.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: She feels like it's I think gonna be a lot
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of work. But Colton has a gleam in his eye.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He's got a dream and he's gonna make it happen. Yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that's too much work for me. Like they're like, let's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: get this boat and ship shape. I'm like, what, Yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not even a situation. Who's like, I wouldn't even
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: know where to begin yeah, yeah, you want that to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: float on water. Next thing, we have Kat.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: She's at the newspaper on the suggestion from Elliott that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: she should pitch to work at the newspaper, the local newspaper.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: So she's with Byron and they're talking. She's telling him what.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: A great like award winning journalist she is and blah
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: blah blah, and he's like, you're Dell's daughter, right, Okay,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you're hired. Yeah, it's such a quick turnaround. He goes, well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: this is kind of a one man operation, but you're
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a Dell's kid, Okay, yes.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And it makes me wonder a newspaper or is this
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a daily newspaper? Is a one man operation?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I refuse to believe this is a daily newspaper. It
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: has to be like the community paper that comes out
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: once a week, right, that that's my guest too. Jump
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety nine and everyone's on the porch
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of the farmhouse and Jacob's like, Alice, why do you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: only come around sometimes? I don't know what's happening here,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and they tell him to lay off. But this is
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a very sweet scene of Colton playing the guitar. Alice
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: joins in I really like these musical scenes. I don't
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: always love a musical scene in the show, but I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: really enjoy when Alice is playing, when Colton is playing
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and singing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, the way Colton looks at Dell in this scene
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: when he's singing to her.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, these two were so in love, like they yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it's Yeah.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: It brought up a lot of feelings. I was like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the is very sweet the way he looks at her.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Jump back to the present day and Dell is
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: delling and is annoyed that Byron has hired Cat Dell.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You wanted her to get a job, Like at a point,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: did you really wanted to work at the point? Is
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that really what you wanted for? I mean I think so.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I think she was like, you need to give up
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: this writing gig and do some hard work. I don't know,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: not hard work. It is hard work, But I don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: understand Dell's She's like a dog with a bone here,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, And I think we
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: can agree that writing a book is different than working
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: on staff in a newspaper where you're going to have
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a steady paycheck, as opposed to writing something that someone
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: may or may not buy in the future exactly. Well,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Alice returns and Kat notices that she's damp, and I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: was like, Alice, girl, you need to leave a towel
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: behind you. Jump in that one. So when she comes
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: back she can at least dry off, which she changes
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: her clothes, But the biggest issue here is her hair.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Her hair is always yes, that too, Yeah, what a drag.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Alice sees the polaroid on the counter and kind of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like freaks out a little bit. But then here's Dell
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: say that you know, Delle's going to sell the boat,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and Alice is clearly upset about it. Yes, exactly, And
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of course, like Cat and Dell don't understand Alice's like
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: reaction because they obviously don't know what she just has
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: experienced back in nineteen ninety nine, like the loving family
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and they're very together, and Alice says, like, doesn't understand,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: like why they don't remember that they used to care
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: about each other, right, and like what has happened? Yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: so Ken should be happy because she's got her moody
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: teenager back in this moment exactly, I'm still in the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: present day. We cut to the high school. Elliott is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: talking to teachers and Alice's never ending pitch to get
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: him arrested and or fired. She runs up and says,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I found the polaroid, and he says, could you please
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: stop doing this? Yeah, it's gonna raise too many questions
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: about their relationship. You know what I mean? Yes, I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: mean I think it comes a comic relief. I don't
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: think there's going to be anything to come of it,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but it is pretty funny. I think I like it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: It's a nice running bit. Alice is worried that Kat
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: has figured out time travel and Elliott's not. I worried,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: but again, great line. He says, keep an eye on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the polaroid. If you pull a Marty McFly and start
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to disappear, we have a problem. And Alice has no
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: idea what he's talking about. She says, you're so old,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: quite funny. Has your daughter seen Back to the Future?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: She has, Yes, Yes, it's one of my husband's favorite movies,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: so my kids have seen it multiple times. But I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: just can't be like the flux capacitor. Oh, they would
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: know that. My kids would know that. I don't know
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: if kids in general, if it's part of their lexicon.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, well, it's funny because I looked back
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to see when Back to the Future came out. It
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: came out movie theaters in nineteen eighty five. Yeah, and Elliott.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing is fifteen and nineteen ninety nine, so the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: movie had come out fourteen years prize, So I think
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: that he would be familiar with a Back to the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Future joke, right.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a classic. Yeah, I agree. Still
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: in the present day, Cat shows up to the Herald
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and Byron hrse her to her desk and it's covered
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: in a giant stack of books, and he says, yah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it gives you a little bit of privacy. And she's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: pitching all these columns that she wants to write, one
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: about Mother's and John or Z and Byron's like, well,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I got an assignment for you. You're too new. You
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: don't get to decide what you're writing about. Here, Kat,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: step back a minute, and we got to her interviewing
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a farmer about the town's biggest cucumber, which is weird. However,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: we will get a voice over later on of her article,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: which then I feel ties in ties up the episode nicely. Okay,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: we're back in high school now, and Spencer graciously invites
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Alice to his sixteenth birthday party.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm like, where is Spencer's girlfriend that we have
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: seen the last two episodes?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Is Zoe his girlfriend? Or are they just buddies? Oh?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're just friends. I kind of assumed that they
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: were boyfriend and girlfriend, but I don't remember exactly. Okay,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we've gotten any specific evidence one
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: way or the other. Okay, So anyway, I think it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: real nice that he invites her to come to the party,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and she's you know, she obviously wants to jump back
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in the pond and head back to nineteen ninety nine,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: because that's truly like she doesn't even care about present day.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: She's really into finding out stuff of the past. You know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: when she says she's found her place, she doesn't mean
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three Porthhaven. Right, She's just on assignment. Right.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: We jump back to the Harold and Byron does not
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: love Kat's first article. He says there's no passion, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I one hundred percent agree with Byron. Here he says,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you know, it feels like you are you're writing like
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you're too good for this town, like you are above it,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and Kat says, she feels like it's a step back,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a real shit move. Kat. This
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: guy gave you a job, right, don't act like these
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: people are beneath you. You came back home because you
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: needed a place to go. Yeah, well, I think that's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the umbrella here is that. I think she does.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Think she it was a humbling experience for her to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: return home. Yes, right, So the whole scenario of her
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: coming back home, it feels like a real step back,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: considering that she's now divorced and doesn't have a home
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and you know whatever. So I mean I think Byron
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: handled it well. I mean I think he gave her
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a piece of humble pie and was like, look, here's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: where we are. Yes, show me that you care, is
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: what he says to her.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Now we're back in nineteen ninety nine. Ali.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I call her Ali because that's what I my shorthand
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: in my notes.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: That's a cat calls her. Okay. So Alice, you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: emerges from the pond and she climbs on out and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: she goes to grab her backpack that's stash, but she
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: notices that it's dirty and.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Then looks up and sees that the leaves have changed.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: She has definitely been gone a while and is confused
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: because it had only been just a day that she
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: had been there.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: We find out she's been gone for two months, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: she runs to Elliott and realize the pond has the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: ability to send you forward in massive leaps of time.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And this is when Elliott journals something that he will
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: say as adult Elliott, but he writes it as a question,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: does the pond decide where Alice goes? And we know
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that to be the case that the Pond decides when
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and when she's allowed to go and when she will
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: go to.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Right, So I wonder are we going to be playing
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: with this timeline like will Allie?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Is it always going to be back? Is it always
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: going to be now where we're at like or is
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that going to be like a sliding scale, you know
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And I can't remember exactly the first time when Alice
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: is in Kat's room, she does look at the calendar
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and we do say that it's nineteen ninety nine, but
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I don't remember if.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We saw what month it was. That's a great point.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if it matters. Alice
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: is super worried that Kat's going to be mad that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: she's been gone for so long. She kind of like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: ghosted her basically. So she runs to Kat's bedroom and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: she's schizing and she's like, I'm so sorry I should
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have texted you. Cat's like, texted, what are you talking about?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: But it's so funny, like it's just completely brushed over,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Like what do you be? Like what does that mean? Texted?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I would be like, what are you talking about? I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: not able to let things go easily. Yeah, I mean either,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and you know that doesn't the fact that Alice is
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: making mistakes and saying things like texted or that's so retro.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's having natural reactions, like that's what she
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: would say to a friend. She's not used to editing
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: herself for twenty four years in the past, right.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I was wondering in this in this part of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: show too, I was like, does she purposely leave her
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: phone behind, because that would be a real tell tell
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: she had a you know, an Apple iPhone in her
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: pocket When she.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think whether it was on purpose or not,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I think she does so her mom can't track her
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: because she doesn't want to leave it on the bank
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of the pond. She doesn't want to jump into the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: pond with it, right, right, And you know, Kat accepts
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: her apology and and she takes her to a bonfire
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: at the point and we meet baby Monica for the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: first time. She takes her to a party at the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: cove You're as a restaurant, it's all right, Yeah, she
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: takes her to this bonfire and we meet Nick. My brain,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: time travel has scrambled it, and I was like, oh,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that's baby Colton. But no, that doesn't make any sense.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So that's Grandpa. That would be just a real mix
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of time travel happening there, yes, and would be particularly
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: problematic because it's instantly clear that Alice is crushing on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Nick exactly. Next scene, we have the return of ritada
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: best friend Rita. She visits Dale and Dale's working on
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: her boat, and Rita's excited to have dinner and drink
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: some wine and hang out like friends do.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: But Byron crashes in. Actually he doesn't crash in. He's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: coming over to give a set of keys to Cat
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: for the office. Rita is not happy with his arrival.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Rita's gonna Rida, man, dude, what is her deal? She
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: rolls her eyes. She is just so over Byron. You know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: when Rita arrived, I kind of had that like Dell's
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: just not that into Rita moment. She's like, all right,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take the glass of wine, but Rita
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: definitely does not want their moment interrupted by new crush Byron. Right,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: what's the story there? I don't get it. We're still
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: in present day and Kat is still working on her
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: or reworking her article on the cucumber at the point,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and Monica softens here she pours her a drink. They
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: chit chat.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm a little leery of Monaca. I hope her
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: intentions are good.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So we watched this episode together and immediately when he's like, hmm,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I don't trust it, and my immediate reaction naive that
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I am, although I do think it ends up being accurate.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I'm immediately happy that she's softening and that we these
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: two are starting to connect a little bit. Right. I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: happy about it too, I'm just like and moreover, she
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Kat does need more friends. Yeah, and Monica even says that, like,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you can't just talk to Elliott. So now we're establishing Okay,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: So Kat is getting comfortable and she is making friendships
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and creating her own community. I wonder if Monica knows
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: how Elliott feels about Kat, and feel like Kat relying
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: on him too much? Isn't fair to Elliott knowing that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: he has stronger feelings for her than she has for him.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then that's like a real shit move if
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: she's trying to like hook a cat up with that
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: other dude.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Excellent point, you know. We cut back to Dell and Rita,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and Rita confesses that she's the one who told the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: tourists about the bow. And I believe this is the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: moment at which Wendy yield stop meddling Rita. She is
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: too invested, and Delle agrees with me. She does. She says,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: stop using me as a charity case. She's pissed. Yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and this scene is real uncomfortable, right, these two women,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: mature women yelling at each other, and Byron's like ladies,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Like Rita says, shut up, new guy. Oh so funny.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Obviously that's like a throwback line to a couple episodes
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: before when when she called him new guy and he's like,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I've been here six years. Yeah, you know whatever. We
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: cut back to Monica and Kat, and they're bonding over
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: having teenagers, and at this point they both apologize to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: each other. Kat apologizes for acting like the town is
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: beneath her and Monica apologizes pretending like she has it
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: all together. And I like that these two are bonding
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: in this moment. In walks, Andy Wowie Zowie Alert played
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: by Alex Mullery Junior, who is on the IMDb for
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: this show, which leads me to believe he's more than
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: just a casual introduction. He's also on Genny and Georgia,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the PI on Genny and Georgia.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I can't remember his name. It's nice to see him
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: on another series, agree and Monica here ising Cat to pursue,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: like you know you're single, now single lady, Let's let's
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: get with it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: But Cat's like what oh okay. Cut back to nineteen
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: eighty nine. They're still at the bonfire and Alice and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Nick are talking, and Nick is talking about the Red
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers Californication album Notice in the nineties and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: how he thinks that album's really gonna really gonna have
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: some meaning in the long run.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's funny here. I received a message from
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: listener Paula about this particular scene. She says, I love
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the Red Hot Chili Peppers reference, although it was the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: wrong song, and I was like, what do you mean
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the reference and the wrong song. She says that Nick
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: is referencing Californication, which we know, but episode two was
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: titled Scar Tissue, which came from Californication, So I think
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: there's just like some disconnect on that episode was named
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: after the Red Hot Chili Pepper song, but now it's
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: only this episode that we're getting, like the reference, do
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: you hear me?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: And Alice tells a beautiful story about why she plays music,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and then we get Nick playing the guitar badly. He's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: real bad. I have another notice in the nineties moment,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: which is Kat is wearing a string of butterfly clips
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in her hair. So it's so bad. I heard those
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in college. I was in college. I have photosh my goodness,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: not the greatest look. So Kat encourages Alice to play
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the guitar, and she picks it up and sings an
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: acoustic version of Britney Spears Baby Hit Me one More Time.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody's excited totally. I was excited. That was a great
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: version of that song. I know it's so good, and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, does Sadie snow? Is she an actual singer?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Is she singing these songs? Right? She's she's gotta be. Yeah,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: she's real good. And the cops arrive and everybody runs. Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: but here's a did you see that moment? I know
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: we don't do that in this this I love it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Bring it on.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Well, the cops get there and the kids scatter, but
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you see there's a.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Full cooler of food, soda, soda. It's not even like
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: they have like red cups or like anything, you know
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean. They're just hanging out. I'm like, why
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: are they Why would they be in trouble? Yeah, it's
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: still the sun's still up. Yeah, they're just gathering. And
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we cut to the present day where Dell's having flashbacks
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of the boat and that's all I have about that
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: moment me too, Dell remembers Coltman in the boat. Yeah,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it's kind of weird, like there's nothing really going on there.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Still in present day, we cut back to Alice and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Nick and they're hiding from the cops. The sun has
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: gone down. The cops are not looking for you. You're not
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: on the lamb. You do not need to hide for
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that long. They're done with you. They just wanted to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: break up the party.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, and this is a perfect excuse for Nick and
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Alice to get cozy and share a.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Smooth and in this one, I'm like, oh, no, Alice,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: you're missing Spencer's party, because right before it was about
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to be broken up, she was about to leave and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: jump in the pond and head back to Spencer's party.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Right, And so Kat invites Alie to spend the night
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and Elliot's like.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Like you need to go home,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: You got to.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Go home, and she's like, no, I'm choosing to stay,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: regardless of the trouble she's going to get into in
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: present day.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: And here you have a real problem because she has.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: To explain her absences in nineteen ninety nine as well
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: as present day.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, although I do think it's easier to say I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: have to go home to Kat than it is to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: explain to her mother why she was out all night. Inexactly,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you know where to be found, yes, exactly. Alice and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Kat are in their jammies gods, thinking about the kiss.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Being fifteen year old girls and Alice very humorously wonders
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: if he's her boyfriend now, and Kat's like, well, I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: have a boyfriend. And here's our first nineteen ninety nine
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: mention of Braden slash Brady.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: A couple of things, sir, Why do you think they
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: have nicknames for all of these characters.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's no, it's it's a little bit confusing for me,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to be honest.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, because we have his name's Bryden, but I call
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: him Brady. We have Dell who is obviously Delilah and Deli.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: We have Alice who's Ali, and Kat and Catherine.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It's just like a lot of it's it would be.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Confusing for a person to come in who didn't know
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: who these characters were.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting to me. It just kind of warms
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the characters up that they all because that's real life,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that everyone has these nicknames for people. True, I think,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: but because there's so much going on, it can be
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit confusing. Yes.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I also want to mention that this scene with Cat
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and Alice as teenagers being in I think they're up
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in the Elliott's treehouse or loft or whatever they're in.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: But this with the two of them laying there in
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: bed and just talking really took me back to being
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a teenager and those moments like being with your best
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: friend and you're talking in bed before you go to sleep,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: and the giggles and the ah, such a good time.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is definitely what best friends do
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: right at this point, and they share secrets. Kat shares
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the secret of meeting this boy and how you know
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: he's a secret from the family because she's worried that
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Dell won't like him or his family because they come
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: from money. And she asks Alice, like, do you have
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: secrets in here? Alice takes a beat and tells her
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: that she can time travel, and.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Of course Kat thinks she's joking, which is the correct response, right,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: because what are you going to be like? Okay, cool,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: cool coo cool night. Yeah. So now we're back in
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: present day and Alice is running through the farm early am,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: trying to get home, so nobody you know, had missed her.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Come on, this doesn't make any sense to me. Go ahead,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna point out this is where
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Meghan's gonna Meghan and I would too, trust me. So
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Dell sees Alice running through and she's like, hmm, that's weird.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And Alice climbs into her room, gets back in bed
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: with wet hair, with wet hair, and she texts Spencer
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and says like, you know, sorry for flaking on the party,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah whatever. Kat come comes in and compliments her,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: or she basically is like, oh you're you're still in
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: bed and this is where Meghan went yesterday when we
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: were watching together. What cat's not waiting up for this kid? Right?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially so she went missing like just days before.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Also, yeah, when I was a teenager, I had to
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: my dad would wait up for me, and if for
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: some reason they didn't wait up, I had to go
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: in and wake my parents up when I came home.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: There was no like sneaking in going to my room
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and they didn't know if I was home or not. Right,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: come on, I know you say like I'm being Megan here,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but are you letting your fifteen You're going to bed
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and you don't know where your fifteen year old is
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: and you're just like, eh, she'll show up. No, Maybe
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: we could say like, oh, she believed her to be
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: at Spencer, so she figured she was fine and she
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: just went to bed, but I don't buy it. Yeah,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I understand well.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And on top of that, she had Monica telling her like, hey,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: she's safe at my house.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, don't worry about it. It's all good. So I
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: mean there's.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Some built in backstory there of like maybe she wasn't
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: tracking her on Life three sixty to.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: See you like where she was at. But yes, as
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a mom to a fifteen year old, I am likely
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: making sure she's snuggled into her bed at night. Yes.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it's just someone to point out here, I really
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: really love the bedspread.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Alice's bed here. It's real cute.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But anyway, here we go, Kat's like complimenting her and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: telling her how how great she's doing import Haven. Remember
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: it's only been like three or four, four or five days.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah at this point, and that Alice is really building
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: her trust back in her mom. And then Kat leaves,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and you see Alice feels real guilty. She does. And
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: prior to this, when she came in, we saw a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: bunch of texts from Spencer. Are are you are you?
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Are you coming? Are you running late? And she lies
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and says that she was sick. Right now, I kind
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: of like saw this like foreshadowing moment when we see
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Monica talking to Kat in the diner about how Spencer's
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: hosting this party and Alice is there. I suspect that
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: this was going to blow up in her face. Well,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: suare like, you can't ever count on teenagers not running
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: into your parents somewhere. You got to cover your bases, right,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: especially at small town exactly. And Spencer and Alice don't
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: have that kind of relationship to be like, oh, I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: got to go do something else. But if you see
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: my mom, tell her that I was at your party. Yeah, no, No,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: we're in the kitchen. We're still talking about the damn boat. Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Alice still wants Dell to keep the boat, and we
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: get a flash forward to Colton on the boat. We
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: find out where the scratches on the boat came from. Us.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: He kind of crashes into the dock as it were,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and he says, I can't find him. He's gone. We
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: have to be talking about Jacob, right, we have to assume. However,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: there's a line in a minute. Mmmm, that's confusing to me. Okay,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: But we finally get another softening of Dell and she says, Kat,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you're a good Mom, you're doing a good job. Yeah, finally, Yeah, God, mom,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: what do I have to do? No? Kat definitely needed
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: some reassurance here, I think, and Dale did need to
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: realize that Alice is her granddaughter. She has a parent here,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: so she has to relinquish some of those you know,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: parenting moments to her actual mother. Yes. Alice runs into
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: mister Augustine school and says, when are you going to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: tell me that the pond can send me ahead in time?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't really want to meddle with what she
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: knows and what she doesn't know. Yeah. Then we get
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Monica and Cat back at the point, and inlocks Andy again,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: who introduces himself again they just met last night? Yeah,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: like really, But Monica's like, given the big obvious mime like,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I'm your number, right? They all clock that, and Kat
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: has Andy your number exactly, she writes it down on
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a nap can give me your phone? Weird Spencer arrives
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: at the point and this is when Alice is lie
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: all falls apart because Kat says, hey, thanks so much
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: for including Alice and your party, and he's like, oh, yeah,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: too bad she couldn't come. Well yeah, did he seem
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: annoyed to you. Yes, that's why I'm like, I don't
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: think that's his girlfriend. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering if, like,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: is he crushing on her a little bit? Like truly,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: why would he text her so many times like are
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: you coming? Are you coming? Are you? Why are you here?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Is everything okay? Blah blah blah blah. You know, yeah? Agree?
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I can where they were holding hands though in the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: first episode, Okay, but I can't. I can't recall well.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: It also just being like he's trying to reach out
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and feels like, hey, I was being a good dude
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: and you're not being a good dude in return, especially
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: because Alice is not terribly well liked at the school.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: So Spencer's kind of going out on a limb by
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: extending this alive branch. Right, And now this is the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: moment I hate because Monica knows that Cat has been
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: led to they had this bonding moment, and she knows
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: that Cat trusted her daughter and boom, that did not
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: go well. So you don't like this scene because you
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: don't want Monica to know. I don't dislike this scene.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: I just felt secondhand embarrassment for Cat because at another
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: parent found out that my kid were lying to me
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: that I was the last to know. I'd feel not great. Yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. Cut back to the kitchen,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Alice is singing Brittany at the table. Dell announces she's
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: gonna keep the boat, and Alice says, I'm gonna go
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: meet up with Spencer and Zoe and Cat does not
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: bust her. This is a cool move by mom. Yeah,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have any chill, like like, no, you're not
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: where were you must totally I would have rusted that
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: door down and be like, young lady, represent no chill. Well,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: she's definitely well. At this point, I was like, oh,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: she's trying to set Alice up to, you know, expose
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: her cards or whatever. Anyway.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: But during this scene too, Cat shows Dell the article,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: the new article that she had written about the cucumber,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: and we have this voice over cats Cat's basically it's
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: her voice reading the article and they're talking about trust
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: is what it comes down to.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: He didn't set out to grow the biggest cue number.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: He just trusted the sillial I don't know whatever. The
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: main theme there is about trust. And now we have
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Cat who doesn't trust Alice anymore, so she is following
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Alice out to the pond. You know, I also see
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: in that moment, and in addition to that article being
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: about trust, a little bit about you know, Kat wasn't
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: necessarily expecting to find happiness or a place at home.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: She was coming home as a last resort. And I
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: think with the connection to Monica, with giving her number
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to Andy, she's with having a job, She's starting to
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: feel like even what she planned to do is turning
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: into something different.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Right now, before moving on, what is your line that
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: you didn't like something about the boat?
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I think it happens when Dell tells Kat that she's
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: a good mom and they're on the boat and they're
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: talking about Alice and Alice kind of pressuring Dell to
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: keep the boat, and Kat says she doesn't know. We
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: never took the boat out. Okay, yes, but we see
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Colton on the boat now. It could be that the
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: only time the boat was taken out was to look
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: for the him in that moment that we see, which
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: we assume is Jacob, but we don't know and Kat
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't know about it, or is there something else going on?
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Right That's what I don't know. That's yes, could be nothing,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: got it totally understand. So now we see Kat sees
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Alice jump into the pond and Alice does not come
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: back up. So Kat's like, what the help? Well, she
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't say what the hell, but she like runs down
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to the pond yelling her name, yelling her name, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: then jumps into the pond after her. And the question
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: is is it clever editing or does Cat really not
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: come back up? Well, I saw the preview for next week. Oh,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Kat is back in nineteen ninety nine, so when we
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: were watching this, I was like, this is really gonna
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: mess up the space time continuum if she runs into
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: her younger self. Totally. Everything we know about time travel says,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: do not meet your younger self. So we shall see.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: But what I like about it is now we don't
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: just have Alice's line or storyline of her returning to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: the past. Now we have returning to the past, and
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: so it's going to open this whole new chapter.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like, yes, that's a great point, and I
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: think I like that we're gonna get Cat in on
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: this secret because it's not sustainable for Alice to continue
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to time. She can't keep disappearing, right, and so they
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: both have motivation to want to return to the past
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: for different reasons, and so hopefully they can work as
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a team. Well, I think Kat's biggest motivation would be
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: to obviously not lose her brother, yes, or find out
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: what happened exactly.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Now, speaking of what happened last week, I did put
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: a pole on our Girls Gone Homer, Yes, Instagram, Now
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: are you interested in hearing?
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Why are people what people think happened to Jake?
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Very Here are some responses, and I'm going to tell
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: you they're all very similar. He is in another time,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: he's try travel or two. He jumped into the lake.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously he ended up.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, he ended up with Jamie and Clare from Outlander.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I don't watch that show. It's a joke that I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: don't give.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: He's trapped in time travel and can't figure out how
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: to get back. He fell into the pond, and he's
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: in the future somewhere. They're basically all the same.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And then there's two very dark ones.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Oh he was kidnapped, huh, child abduction.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like this would take a real turn. Yeah, which,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: to be fair, it could be any of these things, right,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: It was there one second and he wasn't the next.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: So where I may go?
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Is it more likely he was abducted traveling back.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: To nineteen right when he can't go out exactly, I'm
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: gonna side up with abduction. It's not a bad not
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: a bad choice. There. Let's talk about our homie of
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: the week. Yes, ma'am, we are a warning this week's
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: homie of the week to one miss Monica for making
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the first move breaking the ice with Kat reconnecting these
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: two old friends. What I'm curious to see, though, is
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: when we meet young Monica in the past. She is
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the first Monica that we meet. She's kind of shady.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: So when are we going to see them become friends
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: in the past.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because they clearly don't like each other
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: No, they did not seem to, but right so did
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: they always have this sort of antagonistic relationship or do
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: they become real friends? That's what I'd like to see
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: about Monica. You are our homie of the week, played
