DEL: Previously on
The Way Home
- Who's that?
- Julian, Nick's biological dad.
From Julian.
You and Sam seem comfortable.
I think we should take
a step back.
Grandma was pregnant in 1979.
You need to come home,
be with her.
I think you should leave.
What did I really know
about her that was true,
other than how much I loved her?
Even if my mom did
time travel,
she came back and then she died.
ALICE: The handwriting
in Tessa's letter
- and in the almanac
- They're the same.
Tessa was at Fern's birth too?
That means she got
trapped there.
I'm not gonna let
her wait any longer.
NICK: Let's do this!
Cole? Oh!

- Nick!
- Whoa!
- Are you okay?
- Oh, yeah!
Yeah, I'm more than okay!
Woo! That was awesome!
Awesome it's not the word
I'd use.
LAUGHING You guys
seriously do that every time?
Brutal, right?
It's like the world's best
roller coaster.
GRUNTING
But did it work?
Are we where we need to be?
Yep, we are.
Cool!

COLE: Hey, Delly?
Let's wake up, all right?
You're gonna be okay.
I'm here now.
SOFT GASPING
Come on, take my hand.
Oh, Cole, I wish I could.
Just try, Delly.
MUSIC SWELLS
Oh.
Oh, Cole, I must look a mess.
You look beautiful.
I was foolish.
I pushed Stormy too hard.
But I was looking for you.
Well, you found me.
I did, didn't I?
Where are we going, Cole?
Home. I'm taking you home.
BIRDS CHIRPING
Grandma!
RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Are you all right?
I thought something terrible
happened to you.
I'm fine, honey. I'm safe.
Okay. Come on.
Let's get you inside.
TENDER WHOOSH
ETHEREAL MUSIC SWELLS
NICK: Hey, Landry, wait up.
Let me enjoy this.
Oh, play tourist later,
Nicholas.
Right now, we have to get Fern
to admit she knows Tessa.
So, let's go.
It's too bad you couldn't have
brought the almanac, right?
But I guess that underwater
sucky thing
would've shot it off
to some other era?
Hey, how does Elliot do it
with his glasses?
The almanac's here too.
With Tessa's writing
all over it.
It, it's proof.
And Cliff's car isn't here.
The house is empty, so come on!
Actually, I might grab
a couple things from inside.
Well, you look so good
in your costume,
I wanna dress up too.
Nick, this is real life.
Okay? It's not The Great Gatsby.
It can be scary here,
and challenging
and, and dangerous.
CURIOUS MUSIC
It's feeling pretty
easy so far.
Are you sure nothing
seems broken?
Maybe we should go
to the doctor, just in case.
I'm fine.
It was just a little tumble.
I can shake it off.
KNOCKING
SAM: Alice, you in there?
Sorry, when Stormy came back
alone,
I, I thought I might need help
finding you.
What about your mother
or Elliot?
Well, they're both MIA!
Elliot's out of town and
Mom is in the pond.
- Oh.
- Sam! She's here.
Oh, Del, thank God.
- You all right?
- I'm fine.
I'm more worried about Stormy.
He wouldn't let me stable him.
- I'll handle it.
- Don't worry about it.
KNOCKING
Did you call the whole
darn town?
- DOOR CREAKS OPEN
- JULIAN: Oh, Sam!
Oh, sorry, I didn't know
it was gonna be a full house.
Honey, you get on
to your shift.
I've got two highly attentive
gentlemen to tend to me.
- ALICE: Thank you.
- Did I miss something?
Pour me a glass of wine.
I'll tell ya all about it.
Make that two, huh?
SIGHING Nick, I can't find it.
I need help!
NICK: One second!
These suspender thingies are
complicated.
Wait wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, I got it.
- FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE STAIRS
- Look, we've got proof! Let's go.
Oh! Well, yeah,
you definitely blend in.
Not gonna lie,
feels pretty right.
- CHUCKLES.
- Man, this place has changed.
Yeah. It's amazing.
It's so different,
and yet, somehow it just
it's home.
It is!
It's my home.
You must really miss
that jail cell.
It's not what it looks like.
I'm just picking this up
for Fern,
'cause it's a family heirloom.
Nick and I were just passing by,
so
So, you have an accomplice now?
I don't believe we've met.
Yeah, um Nick,
this is Cliff Kane.
He is Port Haven's Temperance
Inspector.
Right, 'cause Prohibition.
That's, like, now!
Uh-huh.
I bet you've nabbed
a ton of boozehounds
down at the old Cove, eh?
Are you saying
that beach is used
for transporting illegal
alcohol?
What? No.
It's just something I heard,
but I have terrible hearing.
He does. We should get
to Fern. Yeah?
Hold on a moment.
TENSE MUSIC
I see you've been frequenting
the Point General Store as well.
I have a shirt just like that.
Oh, yeah
yeah, you do, buddy.
CHUCKLING
DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS
Well, got Stormy stabled
without any trouble.
Maybe you should eat, Del.
It's probably not a great idea
to just drink wine right now.
Well, nothing like
a stiff drink after a scare.
Keeping relaxed is key
or else the muscles seize up.
You know, massage helps too.
I could book you one.
That's all right. If Del needs
anything, I'm her guy.
Not right now, you're not!
EXHALING
I'm sorry, I just
I could use some time alone.
Say no more. You rest.

EXHALING
OLD-TIME PIANO PLAYING
Come on, where is she?
Where am I? Seriously,
how are we here right now?
It is exactly
like I pictured it.
Except maybe a little
more pungent.
You never really factor in
scent when you study history.
GASPING
- Come on!
- What's wrong? Where you going?
Those two guys at
the bar right there,
they're the ones
that are after me.
Why don't I stay?
Look, I can make sure they stay
put and you can go look for Fern.
Come on! Let me be
your bodyguard.
That's why I'm here, right?
The Augie Boys are no joke.
Okay? They're actually
dangerous.
They're fishermen.
They're boat guys.
Trust me, Landry, I got this.
Fine. But whatever you do,
don't drink anything
that they give you. Okay?
Copy that.
Gentlemen, can I buy you
a drink?
Or better yet,
can you buy me one?
I hear it's the fastest way
to turn a stranger
into a new friend. Cheers.
Cheers.
Fern?
Are you here?
Oh, my God! The Alice Book?
EXHALING
"To my little Fern, never forget
to be curiouser and curiouser.
With love, your Cheshire Cat,
Auntie Coop."
Auntie Coop
TENSE MUSIC
Tessa Cooper!
Curiosity killed the cat,
you know?
Oh, um
- I'm kidding, of course.
- Oh.
Well, I know
what I'm doing here.
I'm trying to get
tomorrow's paper out.
- What's your excuse?
- I'm just looking for Fern.
Any idea where she is?
None.
Fern loves her freedom.
I do recognize you, though,
from my party.
Recognize that, too.
Why do you have it?
Fern asked me
to bring it to her.
- Hmm.
- Like she said,
I am a distant relative.
You're listed then, in here?
Oh, well, I mean
Fern did say distant.
Ah right.
Okay, I'm I am a friend
who feels like family.
Well, Fern certainly lets you in
on a lot of secrets, doesn't she?
Why does she trust you
so implicitly,
when ever since you arrived,
things just seem to have gotten
messier?
I don't know what you mean.
Well, your first night
in Port Haven,
my little soiree gets raided,
and the second night,
the Coffee Spoon gets hit.
Well, I would just write
those raids off
to a new, eager Temperance
Inspector, not me.
Okay. One that happened
to arrive the same day you did.
Wait, do you think I work
for Cliff?
Well, what if I did?
I mean, aren't you just
an innocent spectator
to all the bootlegging going on
around here?
I mean, if you're not involved,
then why care?
What I care about is
the reputation of Port Haven.
You see, if investors
all thought that it was just
a mess of cops chasing robbers,
then they'd split.
And I'm trying to create
businesses here.
As you can see, the newspaper,
the film industry, of course.
PAPERS CRINKLING
INTRIGUING MUSIC
What do you think of that?
Cassandra, it's a pretty name.
- Yeah, it's a family name.
- It's your sister's name.
EXHALES INCREDULOUSLY
Well, there Fern goes
telling secrets again. Huh?
I think you and I should get
to know each other.
We're gonna have a drink
together.
KNOCKING
Got your text
that you're back.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Uh, I had my ringer off.
What are you doing up so late?
And here?
Where have you been?
I went to bring Jacob home.
But I failed.
He won't come back.
And I don't know how
to break the news to Del.
- You can't.
- Why?
Grandma had an accident riding
Stormy. And she says she's fine,
but Mom doesn't know and
she's in the pond, and her and Nick
- haven't come home yet.
- Wait, Nick?
W Why did they jump?
INTRIGUING MUSIC
I need to show you something.
Tessa didn't come
back with Griffin.
The almanac proves
that she was there
through a big chunk
of family history.
She was trapped there
alive.
Yeah. Mom went to bring her
home.
I want to get her myself.
It's pretty generous of you
to let Fern use your office
as her apartment.
Well, she needed time
away from the farm
after her little brother
went missing.
Uh, Fern had a brother?
What what happened to him?
The war happened to him.
Frankie was killed in combat
and his body was never
recovered.
Of course, she lost her mother
quite young,
and then her father succumbed
to the Spanish Flu.
So, it was just poor Fern
rattling around
in that big old place
with nothing but sad memories.
Yeah, I get that.
You know, Fern
and this town
were the only two things
I thought about
when I was fighting overseas.
You really do love her,
don't you?
I do.
From the moment my sister
brought her to Lingermore.
Fern told me that
whoever fills in the names
in the almanac is important
to the family,
so since you've known her
for so long,
do you know who filled in hers?
So, Fern tells you about
absolutely everything
and doesn't mention Auntie Coop?
Well, technically not an aunt,
I suppose, she's more
of a family friend, but
Where is Auntie Coop now?
She's not around much anymore.
She, uh
she travels a lot.
PHONE RINGS
Ah, that is Hollywood calling.
They never sleep in Tinseltown.
Do you mind terribly
showing yourself out?
No.
Thank you so much.
TELEPHONE RECEIVER LIFTS
- Goodwin here.
- DOOR OPENS
Yes, yes, yes, good evening.
No
ANGRILY No!
That was not part of the deal!
I want you to get rid of her,
right now!
Because I have
already dealt with Fern.
Now do not call me back
until it's done!

Sorry to cut this show short,
fellas,
but I gotta be
on the road early.
For the journey, brother.
Real sorry you're only
passing through town.
We could sure use a man like you
on the team, Spatz.
Aw, boys, you're gonna make me
blush.
Pound. It's uh,
big where I'm from.
Feel free to spread it around.
CHUCKLING
- Spatz?
- Yeah!
Saw it in a movie once.
I thought it was kinda epic.
LAUGHING
- Go.
- Yeah.
You're singing and drinking
with the enemy.
It's everything I told you
not to do!
Well, you're here,
you're safe, you're alive
you're welcome.
SIGHING
Well, Fern is still MIA.
I think she might really be
in trouble.
Can we just put a pause
on the drama for a sec, Landry?
Because I wanted to say
thank you.
I honestly haven't had
this much fun in years.
Hundred years, actually.
What you have here is special.
You're lucky.
Yeah maybe. Sometimes.
I know you're a time traveller
with the weight of the world
on your shoulders,
but every now and then,
stop and enjoy this.
If not for you, then for me.
Because 1925 is awesome.
- I never wanna go home.
- No!

We can't keep meeting
like this.
Do you think we're in the 20s?
We'll know when we get
to the house.
EVELYN: White Witch
where are you?
Hey!
You know, I found her
once before, when I was a child,
with your Uncle Colton.
And that's why I know
that she's real.
And one of these days,
we're gonna find her together.
There she is! The White Witch!
GIGGLING
You found me! Yes,
you found me, little one.

GASPS AWAKE
Oh! It's nice of you
to join me.
I've been awake all night
just wondering
how it's possibly that
I could be back here again?
Seriously!
Nick, you had one job!
What is this?
Are these directions?
Directions to the Augie Boys'
hideout,
where they make their rum
and meet with their boss,
somebody they call
the "Big Fish."
How did you get this?
There's no bond like the one
forged between seafaring men.
Come on, you didn't really think
I made friends with those guys
for fun?
Yes, I definitely thought
that.
No, Landry, it was all
part of my plan.
They were like putty
in my hands.
Last night I heard Grayson
over the phone
tell somebody that he had
"taken care of Fern."
If the Augie Boys work for him,
then what is their hideout
hiding?
I mean, what if Fern is there
and she's trapped, or
or worse?
BIRDS CHIRPING
We're in the wrong time.
We should go back, right?
Yeah, but Alice she's here.
Cole.
We are here to escort
Miss Delilah

Yeah, sorry, Evie. It's, um
it's not a good time,

CLIFF: So, giggle juice
worn off yet?
Oh, thank God! Cliff,
I mean, Inspector Kane,
just let us out.
When someone's carrying
liquor on a public street,
I gotta do my job.
I swore an oath!
Plus, I'm looking forward
to a certain bottle blonde
coming to bail you both out.
What if she can't come?
What if Fern is in trouble?
What do you mean?
What did Goodwin do to her?
So you think
he's a bad guy too!
Maybe even the Big Fish?
Look, if you let us out,
I will help you take him down.
I have an in with him.
I need to catch Goodwin
in the act.
It's the only way
I can arrest him.
But so far he's kept
his hands clean.
So, if you let us go,
then I swear, I'll find out when
he plans on getting them dirty.
Why should I trust you?
Because Fern is my friend
and I want to keep her safe.
And I think that you do too.

Hey.
Just don't be heroes, all right?
That's my job.
You are so cool.
SIGHING
EVELYN: Thanks for letting
Lewis nap here.
He was so tired after all that
White Witch hunting.
Hey how about I read
your palm?
I've gotten so into it.
It's all about reading
the person, not the hand.
I guess all of us could use
a little glimpse into the future
right about now.
Okay, but let's do your Tarot
first.
EVELYN GASPS
The Knight!
Seems there is a tall, dark
stranger coming into you life.
Not sure I'd describe Vic
that way, but I'll take it.
EVELYN GASPING
This is the sign of fertility.
Motherhood.
This is a very, very special
card.
Is it? I don't know how
you do it, Evie.
Being a mom
MELANCHOLIC MUSIC
I'm not even sure
I want kids.
Oh, Tessa.
Motherhood is the greatest gift.
And if it happens to you,
you'll know what to do,
just like I did.
It's been within you all along,
this innate knowledge
of how to love a child.
Don't fear it. Embrace it.
MUSIC SOFTENS
Because
not everyone is lucky enough
to know it.
The way you make that sound
Yeah, I can't wait for that.
Well, now I'm even more glad
I checked in.
This honey is remarkable.
It seems you excel at everything
you do.
Oh, you obviously
don't know me that well.
I'd like to, though.
Look, it can't be any secret
that I'm intrigued by you.
I mean I haven't been
exactly subtle.
CHUCKLES SOFTLY
But I wonder if you feel
at all the same?
I've had a few butterflies
since you've been here, Julian.
I won't deny it.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
Look.
I start my season in Stratford
after this.
Would it be too presumptuous
to ask
if you would join me there?
I'm sorry, I thought,
based on yesterday,
that things with you and Sam
weren't exactly on.
They're not.
At least right now.
We needed some time
to figure out what's real
and what's just easy.
Can't things be real and easy?

The doctors want me to check
on you every 30 minutes.

we'll go right back

Congratulations
on the engagement.
Colton told me all about it.
Thanks, man. I can't believe
she said yes. You know?
She's she's special.
I hear she is.
Unlike anyone else.
We're gonna make this place
our own, actually.
I, I was raised here.
It was always just a house,
you know, until
till Tessa came along, that is.
Hmm.
Hoping we can try for kids
soon, too.
That'll really make it a home.
- A family of our own.
- Of course.
When you meet the right person,
you can already see the kids
running through the yard.
Boys. I, I'd love a son.
I'll take him fishing,
teach him hockey.
Aw, man. And Tessa,
she's so smart.
She'll do all the academic stuff
like history and poetry.
That all sounds like a dream.

I'm just excited.
No, it's okay.

ELLIOT SNIFFLES
What I wouldn't give
for Google Maps right now.
The directions to this hideout
thingy are barely legible.
Well, we weren't exactly sober
when we wrote them, so
Also, it's not called a hideout
in this era. It's a "still".
Do you remember when I may have
subtly mentioned The Cove
to Mr. Clark Kent inspector guy?
Oh, subtle? Right.
Well, that's where all the booze
these boys are cooking is headed.
The Cove's where all
the big deals went down.
American ships
would moor offshore.
Thugs would row out
in the middle of the night,
or during some big
local distraction.
Pick up the goods.
One the hooch was at sea,
Maritime Law made things
super muddy.
The only time you could actually
get arrested back then
was during the handoff on land.
Wait!
Whoa. Back then is right now.
Man, time travel is amazing!
CHUCKLING
- How do you know all this?
- Oh, well I had to.
All those teenage summers,
running tours
up and down the coast.
Only made tips
if I made it interesting.
So, I memorized a bunch
of fun facts.
That's actually what I
called it, "Nick's Fun Facts."
Aren't you glad
you brought me along?
- I'm helping.
- Mm-hmm.

You've been in the pond.
Where'd you go?
Oh.
So you know that Jacob is not
the only baby I lost.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Grandma.
Oh, please honey, don't cry.
There's been enough tears.
We'll talk about this
when I feel better. Okay?
Okay.
I love you.
Oh, I love you.

Jacob?
It's Alice. Call me.
I know you told Elliot
that you didn't want to come
home, but
Del needs you too, okay?
She's lost so much
and she can't lose you too.
And
Mom's not here
and I'm all alone,
and I I'm scared.
So, can you just come home,
please?
WHISPERING: We have to go,
Nick.
This isn't getting us any closer

PERCY: Fern.
How long you think Goodwin
sent her away for, huh?
Who cares? What about Coop?
- Think she'll come back?
- You heard the boss.
If she shows her face around
here, there'll be hell to pay.
And somebody's getting shot
and it ain't gonna be me.
MUFFLED SNEEZE
Hey, who's there?
Show yourself!
KAT GASPS
- Hey!
- Hey, it's Spatz!
So, you came to your senses,
eh?
Decided to join
our little hustle?
- Well
- What the it's you!
Oh, Spatz, you know how
things end for double-crossers.
Come on!
Landry, stop!
Think we lost them.
TENSE MUSIC
Fern!
Oh, thank God you're all right!
I couldn't find you. I thought
something bad had happened.
Why, I'm fit as a fiddle.
But where have you been?
And what are you doing here?
Someone left my treasured
family heirloom at the Herald.
I came to put it back.
Kitty Kat, so careless.
And who is this hunk of butter?
Look, I know about Auntie Coop
and who she really is
Tessa Cooper?
Sounds like you finally asked
the right questions, Kitty Kat.
You've known her
your entire life.
And you knew the moment
I said her maiden name
that she was the one.
So, why did you lie?
So, her prediction came true
then.
Fern, please,
enough with the riddles.
Just what are you talking about?
Coop always told us
that someone might come
looking for her at the farm
one day.
Whenever she'd visit,
she'd ask
if it had happened yet
if the person had finally come?
So, she was hoping
to be found.
She wanted to come home!
Why didn't you tell me
this sooner?
Only films come
in black and white, Kitty Kat.
Life is far more complicated.
Where is she?
And when is she coming back?
Look, at the stills,
the Augie Boys said
that they would go after her
if she does.
But you
you found the stills?
Why is Tessa in trouble
with the Augie Boys?
What did she do?
TRUCK BACKFIRES
They'll do something to you
if you don't get out of here.
Run! Now! Go!
Hey! Get back here!
Stop it, you rats! Stop it!
Leave them alone!

Stop it, please!
Get outta here, Fern!
We got a job to do!
Did we do it? Are they gone?
They're gone, all right.
Told you this pond was
a sinkhole.
BOTH PANTING
Isn't the pond beautiful?
Why didn't we ever come here,
Cole?
Can we play here all day,
Mom?
Mom can't stay here forever,
Jakey.
She needs to go back
where she belongs.
Stop!
I can stay as long as I want.
Honestly, it's fine. It's fine.
Hi, Grandma.
Just coming to check on you.
It's time to wake up. Okay?
Grandma?
GENTLE SOMBRE MUSIC
Wake up.
ALICE: Grandma
It's okay to go, Delly.
It's time.
But I need you too.
Stay with me.
I will, I promise. I can't go.
ALICE: Grandma!
Grandma, please!
Please wake up, okay?
I'm I'm here.
Just come on, okay? Please!
Alice.
Jacob!
Let me help.

Come with me.
I can't lose this, Cole.
Don't be sad for what we lost.
Be grateful for what remains.
You have to listen to your son
now.
But I am. He's why I need
to stay.
No.
He's why you need to go.
ADULT JACOB: Mom, I need you.
Stay here.
Please come back. I'm here.
Okay?
You need to come back to me.
Jakey's home, Delly.
So, go.
Hi.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
I suppose you know why
I can't join you at Stratford.
The doctor wants me
to take it slow
and I'm gonna listen to him
this time.
Plus, uh my son is home.
I understand completely.
But, can I ask,
was there a moment
when you thought maybe?
There was a moment
when I thought "what if."
Yes. But it was a moment.
Right.
I guess I had a dream
of what things might have
looked like between us.
"And when I waked,
I cried to dream again."
Shakespeare gets it.
So do I.
Dreams are delicious.
But they're just that,
aren't they?
They are.
KAT CHUCKLES SOFTLY
So, I did something
even more terrifying
this morning than time travel
closed on my first house.
Congratulations.
Thank you. I should be back
in a month or so. For good.
And with Claire in tow.
But don't worry,
the pond stays between us.
Thank you, Landry,
for the most amazing adventure.
And seriously,
thank you for everything.
NICK CHUCKLES
I still can't believe
you're here, Jake.
We have a lot to catch you
up on.
Definitely feeling
like I missed some stuff.
And you
you're wonderful.
You know that?
For going and bringing him home.
You did this, Elliot?
He did.
I got Alice's message
about your accident
after I'd already landed
in St. John.
It feels meant to be.
DEL: How about I make us all
a cup of tea?
And I'm so sorry that
I don't have more answers
for you.
Or even just some better news.
But at least we know
that Tessa is in 1925.
And if she returns to Port
Haven, there's a target on her back.
I just wish we knew
when she does come back.
If if she does.
You know, so we can be there.
I guess we just keep jumping.
No, Kat, you need to be here
right now.
- I don't have to.
- This is your mom.
And it's your brother.
And he's home.
The pond can wait.
I'll give you all some time
to catch up.
