The Way Home (2023) s04e03 Episode Script
Dust in the Wind
1
Previously on The Way Home.
EVELYN: There are secret underground
tunnels beneath this house.
Will you marry me?
I'd be proud to be a Goodwin.
Any luck getting in touch
with Vic?
He's on his honeymoon.
I'm pregnant, Alice.
I'll get back soon
to be with you.
If you could please
keep your eyes out
for Tessa Augustine,
or Tessa Cooper.
You've got it,
kitty cat.
WATER SPLASHING
I don't know
where Tessa wound up,
but I think I know who took her.
ENGINE REVVING
That motorcycle belongs
to my brother,
Griffin Landry.
I haven't seen Griffin
in almost three years.
Visiting home was not exactly
a priority for him.
Do you think
I should go?
I don't want to impose.
TENSE MUSIC
I was just wondering where the
rest of the welcoming committee was.
CHUCKLING
Nearly gave Grandma
a heart attack.
Yeah, well, surprise visits
will do that.
What brings you home, Griff?
I need a reason?
I missed you.
Missed a lot. I mean,
my graduation for one.
My wedding, which you said
you'd be here for.
You got my note though, right?
I meant to come, but
You know how tricky
international flights can be.
No, I don't, because I've been
here looking after the farm.
It looks better than ever.
Besides, how would you
ever catch a girl's eye
with your much better looking
brother still in the picture, right?
SCOFFING
And you must be
the lovely Delilah.
Oh, um, no!
I'm just I'm just a friend.
Del's out of town.
She's visiting family.
Can you believe it, Col?
It's been so long since
my beautiful boy came home.
LAUGHING I thought it was
Errol Flynn at the door.
Alice.
I see you found
both of my grandsons now.
Grandma Fern,
you know Alice?
Oh, we go quite a ways back.
To earlier this morning.
Now, Alice, you simply
must join us
for our little
family reunion. Mmh?
Uh, no. Thank you,
I mean,
but I should be
getting home, so.
Nice to meet you, Griffin.
Welcome home.
All right, brother!
DOOR SQUEAKING
DOOR SHUTTING
Just grabbing my bag.
DEL: Now that I know so many
family members can time travel,
it's feasible that
Griffin could too.
He was so enigmatic.
That's what he had
in common with Tessa.
It's not that I had
any proof of an affair.
It was just a feeling.
But in that time
before Tessa left,
I could have sworn
something was going on.
It would explain
Tessa's letter.
"I jumped for love."
I, I'm sorry.
My mom and Colton's brother
jumped in the pond
and are living their best lives
somewhere in time,
and you're just
telling me about it now?
It's not that simple.
Griffin left long before Tessa,
and he came back
for other visits
after she was already gone.
My mom could have
come back with him,
even if she chose
not to come back for me.
Okay, we need to just
try and track down Griffin,
wherever he is.
Believe me,
I've been looking for him.
Griffin Landry
doesn't want to be found,
DOOR OPENING
even if he still alive.
Griffin Landry?
What about him?
Oh, um, Mom thinks
he took Tessa into the pond.
I just met him in 1976.
Maybe that means that the pond
will take me back to him.
Whoa, wait, hold on.
Let's just talk about this.
No, it can't be
a coincidence
that I was there
for his big return.
Let me try and do this,
for Elliot.
- DOOR OPENING
- I'm so sorry, Elliot.
DOOR SHUTTING
I should have told you sooner.
Colton and I were trying
to protect you.
This was before I knew
anything about time travel.
You sat on it for months.
You of all people
know what secrets have done
to this family.

COLTON: I'm glad we did this.
CHUCKLING
It's a beautiful day,
isn't it?
It sure is.
Upsy daisy.
BABY COOING
He's getting so big, Evelyn.
You've been gone too long,
my dear.
Um, I Actually, I was here
to see Griffin.
My beautiful boy?
Why,he's been gone nearly as long
as you have.
SIGHING Two years
in the blink of an eye.
Mama loves you.
Shame, isn't it?
They're growing up without you.
- Yes, sweetheart.
- Hi, baby.
So I just breathe ♪
Hope the water
bring you back to me ♪
- And wish ♪
- KAT, SIGHING: Okay.
I give up.
I am hitting the same walls
as mom has in this search
for Griffin.
There is literally
no sign of him
past the early 2000s.
I'm sorry that you're
not having any luck.
The pond did bring
you to meet him once,
so maybe it's worth another try?
No, Mom, I.. I can't face Evelyn
after I've missed so much.
And what if the pond skips me
forward even more?
- PHONE DINGING
- SIGHING Max
Max Goodwin
is power texting you?
Shoot, I'm supposed
to meet him and Noah.
Uh, weird question.
You only kissed Max
that one time, right?
Like nothing else ever happened?
Mom, of course not.
I'm with Noah.
Great.
And Noah is great.
Hey, Ali?
Why do you have a bullet casing?
- SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
- That's what that is?
I found it in the catacombs
under Lingermore.
Evelyn said that Al Capone
used those tunnels in the 20s.
Having met Grayson Goodwin,
the idea of him having ties
to American mobsters,
that does not surprise me.
SAM: Well, I guess Elliot's still giving
you the silent treatment, huh?
DEL: Yeah, it's been over a week,
and we never fight.
Well, I don't mind
distracting you
until this whole thing
blows over.
Thank you, Sam. I could use
all the distractions I could get,
especially after Alice leaves.
I swear, my nest is growing
emptier by the day.
There's always the option
of leaving your nest and
coming and joining mine.
Leave Landry Farm?
I don't mean selling it.
Of course, Kat or Jacob
will one day take it over,
but I'm right next door, Del.
We'll spend all
our time together.
- HORSE NEIGHING
- Oh, oh, whoa, Stormy.
Easy boy.
He has developed a real aversion
to that path through the woods.
- NEIGHING
- Maybe it's the pond.
Some horses don't like water.
You know about the pond?
Well, yeah. I stumbled on it
once when I was out for a ride.
(HORSE NICKERS)
Seems like a very special place.
I suppose.
NOAH: I got big news!
I found
the first brick-and-mortar
for Wally's.
Well, actually,
my grandpa found it,
but it's right on the beach,
it's got a gorgeous patio.
It's in Peggy's Cove.
Which is five hours away?
Yeah.
It's a, it's a big move, but
I figured you guys would be gone
next month anyways.
And my grandpa offered to help
with the lease down payment.
Okay, restaurants are
notoriously risky.
Are you really trying to go
bankrupt before you're 20?
Jeez, thanks for the vote
of confidence, man.
I think what Max is trying
to say
is that I've never heard
you talk about
owning a restaurant before.
The restaurant was my
grandpa's dream,
but I feel like this is building
on my long-term goals
of wanting to franchise
the Wally's brand,
so it's a win-win.
Dude, you have a really
good thing going here.
Max, you're like the most
ambitious guy I know.
I thought you'd be
more supportive.
What do you think, Alice?
If it feels right,
then I'm excited for you.
Thank you.
So I guess
the three of us are off
to bigger, better things
come fall.
Yeah
About that.
My grandpa actually wants me
there as soon as possible.
Wait, what?
How soon?
Like next week soon.
But I'm, I'm gonna be going
back and forth a bunch,
and I wanna make sure
I spend as much time
as possible with you
before you leave.
It's gonna be great.
And we're just starting
long distance
a little sooner than we planned.
I knew you'd understand.
JAZZY MUSIC
ECHOING LAUGH
ECHOING Let's have some fun,
shall we?
Hope I'm not interrupting.
Mmh? Hey.
I was kind of hoping you could
get a little early this afternoon.
You read my mind. Yes.
I feel like this is kind of
the last place
that I want to be right now.
- Good.
- Hi.
Hi.
Mmh. So how would you feel
about
a little impromptu getaway?
My colleague offered us
his cabin for a few days
right next to the national park.
Romantic, relaxing.
What do you say?
Do you really feel like
we'd be able to relax,
given everything?
I told you.
I've done enough obsessing
over the past.
Can't we have a little
fun in the present?
All right, Goodwin.
Spill.
You obviously have something
to say about all this.
Listen, I think you
both are ignoring
some pretty glaring signs.
People can make
long distance work.
HUFFING Sure, for a little
while,
but it's a cliché for a reason.
The high school couple promising
things won't change
after they graduate.
Then you start missing
big life moments.
You start becoming
different people.
What do you really
know about it?
Have you ever been in love?
You're right.
It's none of my business
what you and Noah do.
I love you guys.
And for what it's worth,
I hope we can all stay friends
through all these big,
scary life changes.
Not everything has to change.
CAR ENGINE STARTS
KAT: I'm really glad
we're doing this, El.
Getting away from things.
I hope Alice and Mom
forgive the last-minute text.
It's just a couple days.
No one is going to miss us.
Where's Elliot?
And what have you been
telling him about his mother?
Oh, good. He's still a baby.
What are you talking about?
Where on earth have you been?
It's been a long time
since I've been over here.
It sure brings back
some real fond memories.
You can imagine my surprise
coming home from my honeymoon
to find a bunch of messages
from Elliot,
demanding to know the truth
about his mother.
So what truth was it
that you told him?
Elliot started asking
questions,
and you weren't here
to answer them.
You couldn't keep
your mouth shut.
Just as Elliot and I were finally
headed down a better path.
Seems to me the last time
you were here,
you stole his mother's
ring and took off.
And I have been trying
to make things right.
I can see now why
those attempts have failed.
Objection, Your Honour.
Who is this guy?
Your lawyer?
You know, Victor,
it still hurts that Kat and I
didn't speak for all those years
because you couldn't
deliver a letter.
I didn't come here to rehash
Landry family drama.
I came here to find out
what kind of trash
you've been filling
my son's head with!
I told him
what we all suspected.
That Tessa deserted you
because she fell in love
with Colton's brother.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS
Are you gonna tell me
what the heck's going on?
SIGHING
DOOR SHUTTING
So many fish.
Could have sworn he described
it as cozy in his messages.
And it seems like we're out
of cell service.
Great.
All that matters
is that we're here.
Just the two of us.
And we can cover
that creepy fish.
I will look for some blankets.
And I will go get our stuff.
Okay.
DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
GENTLE MUSIC
You better not ruin this
for me, buddy.
FOOTSTEPS
Finally asleep.
Sorry for the wait.
And the mess.
Oh, Lewis always wants
to play up here.
He's such a free spirit.
Just like his mom.
CHUCKLING
Evelyn, I've missed you.
I just hate that I wasn't here
when you needed a friend.
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
It's not like I was all alone,
you know?
Cole has been a dream
with Lewis,
and Del has really grown on me.
She's, like, crazy
good with babies.
You know, I've really been
able to count on them.
I was so worried about you
with everything changing
Alice! Stop!
I am more than okay.
And my mom offered to babysit.
So, let's go find some fun.
Sure.
Nothing like a little
light reading
after a long day of fishing.
Greg teaches history.
He's big on maritime culture.
So this is all very on-brand
for him, now that I think about it.
Speaking of on-brand,
"New Brunswick,
the Prohibition Years?"
CHUCKLING I thought
this getaway
was our escape from the past.
Yeah, well, you're the genius
who brought me to
a history buff's cabin
with no cell service.
Fair point.
But if you put the book down,
we can snuggle up
by the soon-to-be roaring fire.
Listen to this.
"The face of modern-day
Port Haven
"owes much to business
magnate Grayson Goodwin,
"who not only established
the Herald newspaper,
"but is largely responsible
for jump-starting tourism
in the region, and championing
local cultural interests."
Just another Goodwin
only remembered as a hero.
There's no mention
of bootlegging
and or ties to the mob.
Well, you don't know
there were any ties.
Well, tell me this then.
What kind of affluent,
supposedly selfless businessman
carries a gun at his own party?
Uh, hey, what do you say
to stretching your legs, huh?
- Get a little fresh air?
- Oh.
COUGHING Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it seems like a good idea.
BOTH COUGHING
Oh, that's bad.
El, okay. I want to be
supportive.
I really, really do.
But I just cannot understand
how you drop the search
for your mom with
no definitive answers.
I'm actually impressed you let
us drop it for a whole day.
Well, honestly, what more
is there to do?
You went to 1925
and found no trace of her.
And Del's version of events
works with what my dad always
told me.
Even if my mom did time
travel at some point,
she came back and then she died.
End of story.
What about the clock
in the wall?
What about 65 and 25?
Maybe the clock
wasn't a message for us.
Maybe Fern is senile
in the 70s,
and nothing she says
has meaning.
Do you really believe that?
Maybe I don't want
definitive answers.
PENSIVE MUSIC
All my life, I've built up
this idea of my mom.
And the more I find out
about the real her,
the more I want to cling
to the make-believe version.
'Cause I'm not sure I can handle
having two terrible parents.
I get it.
No more talk about the past.
This, right here, you and me,
this is all we need.
What is this garbage
that they playing?
I guess you don't get to
rule over the jukebox
as much as you used to?
Actually, I'm always out
on the town.
Louis fits seamlessly
into my lifestyle.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
You don't have to
pretend with me, Evelyn.
We used to be able to tell
each other everything,
and we still can.
I'm still on your side.
Always.
It didn't feel like that.
I told you I was pregnant,
and then you went MIA.
You were the one who told me
that I could do
the single mom thing,
and that you were gonna help,
and then you were just gone.
You have every right
to be mad, Evelyn.
I can't imagine how hard
that must have been for you
I was mad.
And it was hard.
Breaking things off with Ash.
He was so angry.
And I was so alone.
Then Louis was born,
and none of that mattered.
That boy is the real
love of my life.
It's dumb, but when I saw you
on my doorstep,
I wanted to try to prove to you
that I'm not just
some boring old mom.
You could never
be boring, Evelyn!
And you don't have to
prove anything to me.
Motherhood looks
really good on you.
CHUCKLING Thanks.
Ugh, okay, but we should get
some drinks,
because once I start
talking about my little man,
I can't stop.
Please.
Hi, I'm Tessa.
What can I get
for you ladies today?
SPACEY MUSIC
This is exactly what I needed
to get my head straight.
Even after the way this day
has gone, we're here,
we're a team,
and I feel like we can
make it through anything.
PENSIVE MUSIC
You're the one I want
to build a family with.
We already are
a family, El.
Of course. I just meant
I know we haven't really talked
about it officially, but
Talked about what? Oh.
I, uh
I always pictured us
having a kid of our own.
Or two.
- I mean, I
- You never really mentioned that.
I mean, I, I just
I didn't realize that that's
something that you wanted.
And Alice is, like,
just going to college.
- And, um
- PHONE DINGING
I have service, apparently.
LAUGHS AWKWARDLY
Fifteen missed calls from Mom.
Huh? Is everything all right?
- Your dad's back in town.
- My dad's back in town.
ROCK MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND
Um, did you want
to order something else?
Uh, no, sorry,
I just
We met here once before,
years ago.
You probably don't remember me,
but you gave me
really good advice.
Oh, well, I'm glad
I could help.
You were summer
folk then, I think.
Mm-hmm.
What brings you back
to Port Haven?
It holds a special
place in my heart.
Evelyn and Alice,
my lucky day.
Welcome back.
See you met my new hire.
Tessa's is the hardest working
waitress Coyle's ever had.
Oh, I'm just grateful
you took a chance on me, Jay.
So, long time no see, Alice.
Where have you been?
Um, here and there.
My travels have been
rather unpredictable.
If you don't know
where you going,
any road will get you there.
Alice in Wonderland.
Seemed fitting.
What with your name and all.
Plus, I know a fellow
wayward soul when I see one.
DOOR OPENS
Hey!
Alice, you're back.
I should check
on my other tables.
Let me know
if you need anything.
- Surprise!
- I called him.
Uh, Delilah didn't want
to come too?
Uh, she's a bit
under the weather.
But, wow, Alice,
it's so nice to see you.
I mean, it's been ages, right?
Yeah, it has.
- INTRIGUING MUSIC SWELLS
- INDISTINCT CHATTER
DEL: Thanks for taking
my call.
I, uh, appreciate you
joining us for dinner, Victor.
Well, this is quite the spread
you got here.
Not a dry biscuit
in sight.
So, Mexico, huh?
Whereabouts do you
and your wife live
Look.
SIGHING
We don't need to beat
around the bush.
Listen, Del, you caught me
off guard earlier,
but let's just
say what we need to say.
I can't imagine that period
in your life
is an easy one to rehash.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
It's gotten easier.
When I look back
on it all now, I just
I try to concentrate
on all the good times
that I had with Tessa.
We weren't even really
together very long,
but there were still
a lot of good times.
And then he goes,
"Mommy, I do all by myself."
Evie, you can't say no
to that kid.
Ugh. I know, the kitchen
was a mess,
but he will be cooking for us
all by the age of four.
Victor Augustine, this is too
much to tip on a to-go order.
What, the service was great,
as usual.
Can't I say thank you?
This is more than a thanks,
but I appreciate it.
You're real kind.
You should let
more people know it.
Hey, Tessa.
I was wondering, would you maybe
You wanna grab some food later?
You know, if you're not
if you're not too busy
or anything.
I thought you'd never ask.
Great, okay.
So it's a date then?
I'm off at eight.
Meet me here?
Yeah.
That new waitress is really
bringing out Vic's softer side.
That's gotta be proof
right there
that anyone can change
for the better, right?
Hey, Vic, over here.
You, uh, feel like joining us?
I gotta go.
All right, maybe he hasn't
changed that much.
Ugh, I hate to say it,
but I better get going, too.
Louis doesn't let anyone
but mommy do bedtime.
Thank you for today.
It's been so good to see you.
I am so happy
that we're still friends, Alice.
But if you disappear on me
for years again,
I won't be so forgiving
next time.
CHUCKLING
- See you.
- See you.
Hey, I, I didn't get the chance
to ask you,
but what's happening
with your music?
Are you still performing here?
Man, I wish.
I'm so busy on the farm
these days.
Del and I are saving up to
put an addition on the house,
make some room for the family
we hope to start.
When did we get so old, right?
Anyway, what about you?
Uh, did you ever write that
great love song of yours?
Oh, um, I'm still figuring
that out actually.
But, um, hey do you have your
guitar in your truck?
Maybe we could play
for a little bit.
You could help me.
Alice, I'd love to,
but I gotta go check on Del.
But next time you're here
we'll definitely have
our jam session, yeah?
Just like old times?
Uh, yeah, yeah,
I'd love that, if we can.
Of course.
We'll whip that song
into shape,
just you and me.
That's what we do, right?
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES
Well, this is a much better
meal than I would have gotten
at the Snug tonight,
so thank you for that.
It's the least I could do.
I regret how things
came out with Elliot.
I should have waited for him
to talk to you.
You know, there was a time when
we were friends, all of us.
Oh, well, that was all Tessa.
She had a real knack for
bringing people together.
She was always looking for her
found family, her village.
I remember.
It's sad to think
that
you and I are the only
ones left from that era.
Yeah. Yeah, we both lost
a lot.
Once Tessa was gone, I
I couldn't deal with any of it.
I threw away everything
of hers, every photo.
I thought it would be easier
for Elliot and I to move on,
but maybe if I'd shared more
about his mom back then,
he wouldn't be spiralling now.
We both tried to protect
Elliot in our own way,
but he is a grown man,
and he's got a great life now
with Kat.
Has he done anything
with that ring yet or what?
CHUCKLING No, he hasn't.
But soon, soon.
To our kids.
To our families.
United again.
DOOR OPENING
Don't let me interrupt
this happy reunion.
When you're ready to talk, Dad,
you know where to find me.
- DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
- SOMBRE MUSIC
I don't know how much longer
I can do this, Cole.
Getting my hopes up every month,
convincing myself that this
time will be different.
It'll happen for us
when it's meant to, okay?
We can't give up hope.
We've been trying
for three years.
SIGHING
It's killing me being around
Evelyn and Lewis all the time.
I really just want a baby
of my own.
SIGHING I know.
I know.
SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUE
I know you're scared to hear
the truth about your mom,
but maybe just at least
hear Vic out.
I will.
Hey, El
about the conversation
we started earlier,
about expanding a family.
I don't want you to think
that that subject is
closed.
Can it just be a
to be continued for now?
Yeah. Of course.
DOOR OPENING
DOOR SHUTTING
All right, I'm here.
APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS
Let's talk.
I just need answers, dad.
Um I'm gonna give
you guys some space.
TENSE MUSIC
DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
Oh, Ali, look at this.
Look, it's the same bracelet.
Fern does know Tessa in 1925.
BREATHING HEAVILY
This pond sure has
a sense of humour.
I was just looking for somewhere
to hide some dry clothes
in case you came back.
Huh? Voila.
There you are, kitty cat.
CHUCKLING
May I ask what you're doing?
Just looking for Tessa's
bracelet,
because you lied to me!
I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about,
but I told you I don't know
any Tessas.
Maybe it hasn't happened yet?
I sure do love
getting jewellery,
as long as it ain't cheap.
You saying there's a gift
in my future?
Something to look forward to,
then.
But for now,
throw on these duds.
We're late.
You always made it seem like
mom walked out on both of us,
but you weren't even here
when she left.
She left me, all alone at the
At the Landry's door, yeah.
That stung.
We were young, but I mean,
I was trying my best.
Her leaving you there
was like she was saying
I wasn't even fit
to parent you.
Hindsight,
she was probably right.
Maybe she didn't mean
anything by that.
Maybe she wasn't even thinking.
Well, I guess
we'll never know.
But now you know why she left.
Or rather, who she left us for.
Chalk that up to another reason
I've never been a big fan
of the Landrys.
Dad, how are you so sure
she died
if you never saw her again?
I thought you might ask that.
Here, she sent this right
before she passed.
PAPER CRINKLING
"They tell me I don't have long.
"In my heart, this feels like
a fitting punishment
for what I've done."
A, a typewritten letter
is all you got?
How do you know
Mom even wrote this?
She sent the Augustine
ring back with this one.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
Right.
So that's it then.
It's actually pretty simple,
isn't it?
She left us.
And she didn't bother
to come back,
even when she was dying.
SIGHING
You're back.
Dare I ask where you were
this time?
I was in 1978.
I saw Tessa, but only briefly,
so I didn't find anything out,
unfortunately.
But I got to spend time
with Evelyn and Colton.
Guess I wasn't there, was I?
Well, I really wish
that I could have

honey.
Yeah, me too.
I think we would have been
really good friends.
CHUCKLING
I'm glad you got to see Cole.
I think it was
our last goodbye.
How do you know?
They're growing up without me.
Same thing happened with my
visits back to Kat and Elliot.
Eventually, I can't explain
why I haven't aged.
But Colton was so happy,
and excited about the life
that he was building with you.
Yeah.
We had a lot of dreams,
a lot of plans.
Yeah.
It seemed like it.
Wait, Fern, what are we doing
back here
in the middle of the night?
What, are we breaking
into the general store?
Kitty Kat, trust me.
I wouldn't steer you wrong.
Up from these depths,
no one has yet returned alive.

The boss don't want problems.
We need to handle 'em, tonight.
Handle, eh? Gladly.
Not sure I'll ever forgive
Tessa for leaving you.
I still wish you could have
known her back then.
She made this house feel
like a real home.
She made me feel worthwhile.
Probably for the first time
in my life.
You deserved to grow up
with a mom like that.
If she was really all those
things,
how could she just walk away?
Wish I knew.
I've been wondering that myself
your whole life.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
Where'd you get this?
Uh, in the attic.
Must have fallen out
of a box or something.
I know it's hard to believe.
But she really did love you,

Do you have any idea
who's ripped out of this?
No, I can't say.
I don't remember it being taken.
Tessa was like a riddle
that I could never solve.
In the grand scheme
of things, I mean,
what did I really know
about her that was true?
Other than how much I loved her.
So, okay,

speakeasy starlight by night.
Is there anything
that you can't do?
I seem to have
an impossibly hard time
making life easy for myself.
Yeah, I'm the same.
Must be in the blood,
I suppose.
You think we're related?
No, Kitty Kat.
I know we are.
We're like two peas

Only Landrys can time travel.
So you must be one of us
from sometime beyond now.
You speak so openly
about the pond.
Well, naturally.
It's been passed down
from parent to child
since my great-grandfather.
Now you're here.
Proof that the Landry family
doesn't end with little old me.
Won't you get in trouble
working at a place like this?
It's illegal.
So what's a little danger
in life?
I love it.
Pure and simple.
Being up there,
singing and performing, it's
like everything else
just falls away.
It's what I'm meant to do.
Couldn't you sing

I mean, the people

they were just talking

just now.
They said that?
Evening, ladies.
CUPS CLANG
Don't worry, I won't tell.

You were right.
I have no clue

My longest relationship
was like three weeks.
And two of those weeks, she was
away on family vacations.
CHUCKLING Stop.
We're good.
How have you never
mentioned
that you have
a swimming hole here?
Is this why you're always
kind of damp?

I don't know
where Tessa wound up,
but I think I know who took her.
ENGINE REVVING
That motorcycle belongs

Griffin Landry.
I haven't seen Griffin

Visiting home was not exactly

I should go?

I missed you.
Missed a lot. I mean,
my graduation for one.
My wedding, which you said
you'd be here for.
You got my note though, right?
I meant to come, but
You know how tricky
international flights can be.
No, I don't, because I've been
here looking after the farm.
It looks better than ever.
Besides, how would you
ever catch a girl's eye

DOOR SQUEAKING

Just grabbing my bag.
DEL: Now that I know so many
family members can time travel,
it's feasible that
Griffin could too.
He was so enigmatic.
That's what he had
in common with Tessa.
It's not that I had
any proof of an affair.
It was just a feeling.
But in that time
before Tessa left,
I could have sworn
something was going on.
It would explain
Tessa's letter.
"I jumped for love."
I, I'm sorry.
My mom and Colton's brother
jumped in the pond
and are living their best lives
somewhere in time,
and you're just
telling me about it now?
It's not that simple.
Griffin left long before Tessa,
and he came back
for other visits
after she was already gone.
My mom could have
come back with him,
even if she chose
not to come back for me.
Okay, we need to just
try and track down Griffin,
wherever he is.
Believe me,
I've been looking for him.
Griffin Landry
doesn't want to be found,
DOOR OPENING
even if he still alive.
Griffin Landry?
What about him?
Oh, um, Mom thinks
he took Tessa into the pond.
I just met him in 1976.
Maybe that means that the pond
will take me back to him.
Whoa, wait, hold on.
Let's just talk about this.
No, it can't be
a coincidence
that I was there
for his big return.
Let me try and do this,
for Elliot.

I am hitting the same walls
as mom has in this search
for Griffin.
There is literally
no sign of him
past the early 2000s.
I'm sorry that you're
not having any luck.
The pond did bring
you to meet him once,
so maybe it's worth another try?
No, Mom, I.. I can't face Evelyn

And what if the pond skips me
forward even more?

Max Goodwin

Shoot, I'm supposed
to meet him and Noah.
Uh, weird question.
You only kissed Max

Mom, of course not.
I'm with Noah.
Great.
And Noah is great.
Hey, Ali?
Why do you have a bullet casing?
- SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
- That's what that is?
I found it in the catacombs
under Lingermore.
Evelyn said that Al Capone
used those tunnels in the 20s.
Having met Grayson Goodwin,
the idea of him having ties
to American mobsters,
that does not surprise me.
SAM: Well, I guess Elliot's still giving
you the silent treatment, huh?
DEL: Yeah, it's been over a week,
and we never fight.
Well, I don't mind
distracting you
until this whole thing
blows over.
Thank you, Sam. I could use
all the distractions I could get,
especially after Alice leaves.
I swear, my nest is growing
emptier by the day.
There's always the option
of leaving your nest and
coming and joining mine.

I don't mean selling it.

Some horses don't like water.
You know about the pond?
Well, yeah. I stumbled on it
once when I was out for a ride.
(HORSE NICKERS)
Seems like a very special place.
I suppose.
NOAH: I got big news!
I found
the first brick-and-mortar
for Wally's.
Well, actually,
my grandpa found it,
but it's right on the beach,
it's got a gorgeous patio.
It's in Peggy's Cove.
Which is five hours away?
Yeah.
It's a, it's a big move, but
I figured you guys would be gone
next month anyways.
And my grandpa offered to help
with the lease down payment.
Okay, restaurants are
notoriously risky.
Are you really trying to go
bankrupt before you're 20?
Jeez, thanks for the vote
of confidence, man.
I think what Max is trying
to say
is that I've never heard
you talk about
owning a restaurant before.
The restaurant was my
grandpa's dream,
but I feel like this is building
on my long-term goals
of wanting to franchise
the Wally's brand,
so it's a win-win.
Dude, you have a really
good thing going here.
Max, you're like the most
ambitious guy I know.
I thought you'd be
more supportive.
What do you think, Alice?
If it feels right,
then I'm excited for you.
Thank you.
So I guess
the three of us are off
to bigger, better things
come fall.
Yeah
About that.
My grandpa actually wants me
there as soon as possible.
Wait, what?
How soon?
Like next week soon.
But I'm, I'm gonna be going
back and forth a bunch,
and I wanna make sure
I spend as much time
as possible with you
before you leave.

- Good.
- Hi.
Hi.
Mmh. So how would you feel
about
a little impromptu getaway?
My colleague offered us
his cabin for a few days
right next to the national park.
Romantic, relaxing.
What do you say?
Do you really feel like
we'd be able to relax,
given everything?
I told you.
I've done enough obsessing
over the past.
Can't we have a little
fun in the present?
All right, Goodwin.
Spill.
You obviously have something
to say about all this.
Listen, I think you
both are ignoring

HUFFING Sure, for a little

Where's Elliot?
And what have you been
telling him about his mother?
Oh, good. He's still a baby.
What are you talking about?
Where on earth have you been?
It's been a long time
since I've been over here.
It sure brings back
some real fond memories.
You can imagine my surprise
coming home from my honeymoon
to find a bunch of messages
from Elliot,
demanding to know the truth
about his mother.
So what truth was it
that you told him?
Elliot started asking
questions,
and you weren't here
to answer them.
You couldn't keep
your mouth shut.
Just as Elliot and I were finally
headed down a better path.
Seems to me the last time
you were here,
you stole his mother's
ring and took off.
And I have been trying
to make things right.
I can see now why
those attempts have failed.
Objection, Your Honour.
Who is this guy?
Your lawyer?
You know, Victor,
it still hurts that Kat and I
didn't speak for all those years
because you couldn't
deliver a letter.
I didn't come here to rehash
Landry family drama.
I came here to find out
what kind of trash

us drop it for a whole day.
Well, honestly, what more
is there to do?
You went to 1925
and found no trace of her.
And Del's version of events
works with what my dad always
told me.
Even if my mom did time
travel at some point,
she came back and then she died.
End of story.
What about the clock

What about 65 and 25?
Maybe the clock
wasn't a message for us.
Maybe Fern is senile

and nothing she says
has meaning.
Do you really believe that?
Maybe I don't want

You don't have to
pretend with me, Evelyn.
We used to be able to tell
each other everything,
and we still can.
I'm still on your side.
Always.
It didn't feel like that.
I told you I was pregnant,
and then you went MIA.
You were the one who told me
that I could do
the single mom thing,
and that you were gonna help,
and then you were just gone.
You have every right
to be mad, Evelyn.
I can't imagine how hard
that must have been for you
I was mad.
And it was hard.
Breaking things off with Ash.
He was so angry.
And I was so alone.
Then Louis was born,
and none of that mattered.
That boy is the real
love of my life.
It's dumb, but when I saw you
on my doorstep,
I wanted to try to prove to you
that I'm not just
some boring old mom.
You could never
be boring, Evelyn!

prove anything to me.
Motherhood looks

DEL: Thanks for taking
my call.
I, uh, appreciate you
joining us for dinner, Victor.
Well, this is quite the spread
you got here.
Not a dry biscuit
in sight.
So, Mexico, huh?
Whereabouts do you
and your wife live
Look.
SIGHING
We don't need to beat
around the bush.
Listen, Del, you caught me
off guard earlier,
but let's just
say what we need to say.
I can't imagine that period
in your life
is an easy one to rehash.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
It's gotten easier.
When I look back
on it all now, I just
I try to concentrate
on all the good times
that I had with Tessa.
We weren't even really
together very long,
but there were still
a lot of good times.
And then he goes,
"Mommy, I do all by myself."
Evie, you can't say no
to that kid.
Ugh. I know, the kitchen
was a mess,
but he will be cooking for us
all by the age of four.
Victor Augustine, this is too
much to tip on a to-go order.
What, the service was great,
as usual.
Can't I say thank you?
This is more than a thanks,
but I appreciate it.
You're real kind.
You should let
more people know it.
Hey, Tessa.
I was wondering, would you maybe
You wanna grab some food later?
You know, if you're not
if you're not too busy
or anything.
I thought you'd never ask.
Great, okay.
So it's a date then?
I'm off at eight.
Meet me here?
Yeah.
That new waitress is really
bringing out Vic's softer side.
That's gotta be proof
right there
that anyone can change
for the better, right?
Hey, Vic, over here.
You, uh, feel like joining us?
I gotta go.
All right, maybe he hasn't
changed that much.
Ugh, I hate to say it,
but I better get going, too.
Louis doesn't let anyone
but mommy do bedtime.
Thank you for today.
It's been so good to see you.
I am so happy
that we're still friends, Alice.
But if you disappear on me
for years again,
I won't be so forgiving
next time.
CHUCKLING
- See you.
- See you.
Hey, I, I didn't get the chance
to ask you,
but what's happening
with your music?
Are you still performing here?
Man, I wish.
I'm so busy on the farm
these days.
Del and I are saving up to
put an addition on the house,
make some room for the family
we hope to start.
When did we get so old, right?
Anyway, what about you?
Uh, did you ever write that
great love song of yours?
Oh, um, I'm still figuring
that out actually.
But, um, hey do you have your
guitar in your truck?
Maybe we could play
for a little bit.
You could help me.
Alice, I'd love to,
but I gotta go check on Del.
But next time you're here
we'll definitely have
our jam session, yeah?
Just like old times?
Uh, yeah, yeah,
I'd love that, if we can.
Of course.
We'll whip that song
into shape,
just you and me.
That's what we do, right?
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES
Well, this is a much better
meal than I would have gotten
at the Snug tonight,
so thank you for that.
It's the least I could do.
I regret how things
came out with Elliot.
I should have waited for him
to talk to you.
You know, there was a time when
we were friends, all of us.
Oh, well, that was all Tessa.
She had a real knack for
bringing people together.
She was always looking for her
found family, her village.
I remember.
It's sad to think
that
you and I are the only
ones left from that era.
Yeah. Yeah, we both lost
a lot.
Once Tessa was gone, I
I couldn't deal with any of it.
I threw away everything
of hers, every photo.
I thought it would be easier
for Elliot and I to move on,
but maybe if I'd shared more
about his mom back then,
he wouldn't be spiralling now.
We both tried to protect
Elliot in our own way,
but he is a grown man,
and he's got a great life now
with Kat.
Has he done anything
with that ring yet or what?
CHUCKLING No, he hasn't.
But soon, soon.
To our kids.
To our families.
United again.

I can do this, Cole.

It'll happen for us
when it's meant to, okay?
We can't give up hope.
We've been trying
for three years.
SIGHING
It's killing me being around
Evelyn and Lewis all the time.
I really just want a baby
of my own.
SIGHING I know.
I know.
SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUE
I know you're scared to hear
the truth about your mom,
but maybe just at least
hear Vic out.
I will.
Hey, El
about the conversation
we started earlier,
about expanding a family.
I don't want you to think
that that subject is
closed.
Can it just be a
to be continued for now?
Yeah. Of course.

All right, I'm here.

I just need answers, dad.

you guys some space.
TENSE MUSIC
DOOR OPENING AND SHUTTING
Oh, Ali, look at this.
Look, it's the same bracelet.
Fern does know Tessa in 1925.
BREATHING HEAVILY
This pond sure has
a sense of humour.
I was just looking for somewhere
to hide some dry clothes
in case you came back.
Huh? Voila.
There you are, kitty cat.
CHUCKLING
May I ask what you're doing?
Just looking for Tessa's
bracelet,
because you lied to me!
I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about,
but I told you I don't know
any Tessas.
Maybe it hasn't happened yet?
I sure do love
getting jewellery,
as long as it ain't cheap.
You saying there's a gift
in my future?
Something to look forward to,
then.
But for now,
throw on these duds.
We're late.
You always made it seem like
mom walked out on both of us,
but you weren't even here
when she left.
She left me, all alone at the
At the Landry's door, yeah.
That stung.
We were young, but I mean,
I was trying my best.
Her leaving you there
was like she was saying
I wasn't even fit
to parent you.
Hindsight,
she was probably right.
Maybe she didn't mean
anything by that.
Maybe she wasn't even thinking.
Well, I guess
we'll never know.
But now you know why she left.
Or rather, who she left us for.
Chalk that up to another reason
I've never been a big fan
of the Landrys.
Dad, how are you so sure
she died
if you never saw her again?
I thought you might ask that.
Here, she sent this right
before she passed.
PAPER CRINKLING
"They tell me I don't have long.
"In my heart, this feels like
a fitting punishment
for what I've done."
A, a typewritten letter
is all you got?
How do you know
Mom even wrote this?
She sent the Augustine
ring back with this one.
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
Right.
So that's it then.
It's actually pretty simple,
isn't it?
She left us.
And she didn't bother
to come back,
even when she was dying.
SIGHING
You're back.
Dare I ask where you were
this time?
I was in 1978.
I saw Tessa, but only briefly,
so I didn't find anything out,
unfortunately.
But I got to spend time
with Evelyn and Colton.
Guess I wasn't there, was I?
Well, I really wish
that I could have
gotten to know you back then,
honey.
Yeah, me too.
I think we would have been
really good friends.
CHUCKLING
I'm glad you got to see Cole.
I think it was
our last goodbye.
How do you know?
They're growing up without me.
Same thing happened with my
visits back to Kat and Elliot.
Eventually, I can't explain
why I haven't aged.
But Colton was so happy,
and excited about the life
that he was building with you.
Yeah.
We had a lot of dreams,
a lot of plans.
Yeah.
It seemed like it.
Wait, Fern, what are we doing
back here
in the middle of the night?
What, are we breaking
into the general store?
Kitty Kat, trust me.
I wouldn't steer you wrong.
Up from these depths,
no one has yet returned alive.

Handle, eh? Gladly.
Not sure I'll ever forgive
Tessa for leaving you.
I still wish you could have
known her back then.
She made this house feel
like a real home.
She made me feel worthwhile.
Probably for the first time
in my life.
You deserved to grow up
with a mom like that.
If she was really all those
things,
how could she just walk away?
Wish I knew.
I've been wondering that myself
your whole life.
INTRIGUING MUSIC
Where'd you get this?
Uh, in the attic.
Must have fallen out
of a box or something.
I know it's hard to believe.
But she really did love you,
Elliot.
Do you have any idea
who's ripped out of this?
No, I can't say.
I don't remember it being taken.
Tessa was like a riddle

what did I really know
about her that was true?

No, Kitty Kat.

It's what I'm meant to do.
