The Way Home (2023) s03e07 Episode Script
Tell Me Something Good
1
Previously, on The Way Home
Emma. Here.
Is that Cat's intern with Sam?
I'm terrified that I might
end up marrying Max Goodwin.
Dad died in an accident
I caused.
- I can't even look at you.
- [LOUD GASP]
Colton.
He's still under there.
The White Witch! She saved us.
I killed dad!
I'm so sorry!
[SOBS]
Elliot and Alice told me
that there was no way
we could have prevented
dad's accident.
That what happened
will always happen.
I really hoped
I really believed
that somehow
I could.
So
I waited for dad's truck.
Headlights were coming
towards me and then
then Alice wh It
I did it.
I stepped onto the road.
Dad swerved the truck
to avoid hitting me.
I tried to stop it,
but I caused it, Mom.
And I told Jacob.
And it's why he didn't come back
with me from 1816,
and I really don't know
if he ever will.
I am so, so sorry, Mom.
Mom.
I told
I told her the truth.
No, but you didn't.
You didn't tell her about me.
You tried to stop me.
And if I had listened
then you wouldn't even
have ever been there.
That was my fault.
So I need you to let me take it.
[EXHALES SHAKILY]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Alice!
I'm so glad you're home.
I really needed a friend.
Well, it's further proof
of our psychic connection.
I was just telling Cole
that I needed to see you.
- President Nixon will reportedly
- [SCOFFS]
announce his resignation
Can you believe
this Watergate stuff?
Leader of the free world turns
out to be a crook. It's insane.
I mean, if you can't trust
the president who can you trust?
Never mind Nixon!
I've been dying to tell you
ever since the seance.
The portrait of the woman.
My Katherine.
I know who she is.
This is the woman who saved me
when I almost drowned.
I thought you said
it was Colton who had
He tried, but
when I saw her face,
I knew it was her.
- Evie, stop.
- What?
You said that you felt like
you were being sucked under
that night, Cole.
I bet she saved both of us.
No, no, no. I saved myself.
From a weed.
That's not what
you believed before!
Remember what we used
to write to each other?
When our parents didn't
let us talk,
Cole and I would write messages
to each other
with invisible ink.
We hid them everywhere.
Pieces of scrap paper
tucked in trees
Or in books, right?
Look, um, you asked me
to come see the portrait.
I did, now I gotta run.
Uh, Alice,
why don't I give you a ride?
- She just got here.
- Um, actually, Colton's right.
I should probably be going home.
I never told anyone about
those messages
in the Wonderland books.
How did you know
they were there?
I guess it was obvious.
That night at the cove
when you gave them to Evelyn.
The look on your face. I just
knew that there was more to it.
And that's why you were
so disappointed
when she gave you one back, right?
What were you trying
to tell her that was so secret?
Doesn't matter.
A lot has changed
since that night at the cove
Just promise me you
won't tell Evie about him.
I've got enough on my mind.
Del leaves tomorrow to go home.
On her birthday.
Can you believe that?
I've got something
pretty big planned.
Good.
Hey, so, um,
what did Evelyn mean
when she said that you almost
got sucked under
that night at the pond?
Like I said. Evie's just
making up stories, huh?
A defining moment
in our history,
should Nixon resign,
he will become the only
US president in history
Some stories don't
have a happy ending.
You're right. They don't.
Grandma hasn't said
much these past few days.
She keeps going on long drives.
I don't know how she feels.
I'll tell you how she feels.
Hurt and betrayed.
Maybe come home
instead of staying away?
I don't even know how to face
her after telling her
what I did.
You mean what I did.
Mom, she has to know
the whole truth.
No. She needs somebody
to be there for her, Ali.
And you've always been so good
at talking with her
Man. Home prices
these days are crazy.
I mean, take me back to '99, am I right?
[HE LAUGHS]
Yeah?
Come on, that was funny.
I need to get back to the house.
Yeesh.
I I have to go
and try to talk to Jacob
and convince him to forgive me
and then come home.
What about Del?
Kat, look.
When you told me
what really happened,
I didn't understand it either.
But Del will eventually realize
what I did,
that there was nothing you
could have done differently.
I just need to bring him home.
At least that's one thing
that I can fix for her.
- [SIGHS]
- Right I've heard that before.
I didn't mean it like that.
Kat.
Hey. Is Kat going
to jump in the pond?
Can Can I watch?
Read the room, Nick.
Jacob?
It's just me.
He'll come home. I know he will.
I was at Elliot's.
Mom's a wreck.
Maybe we can all talk?
We can't stay like this forever.
[SIGHS]
Did Alice seem off
to you this morning?
So weird for her, isn't it?
Me being here.
Kind of thought we cleared
the air last year, but
- I get it.
- It's not about you, man.
We're all a bit
distracted right now.
The stuff with Del and Jacob
is, um, tough.
Yeah, what's with that?
I thought it was just classic
Landry drama.
Something Del and Kat
would get over
- with a bottle of wine.
- It's not my story to tell
But in the meantime
If you wouldn't mind
not mentioning anything
- about Emma in front of Kat.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna tell her, eventually.
About the kiss.
Dude. You kissed Emma?
Elliot!
It didn't work.
The pond wouldn't let me go.
I'm sorry, Kat. I'm sorry.
I have to bring Jacob home,
now. I have to.
ELIJAH: You've given me a gift,
staying with me here
a while longer.
I couldn't leave you, Father.
Not during these
uncertain times.
I'm grateful for it.
But I also know my son.
There's more to this story.
You're avoiding something.
I didn't raise you to hide
from your problems.
You may call it hiding,
I suppose,
but I call it survival.
The other side of the pond
is not a place I belong.
Not now.
And there's more to this
story too. Isn't there?
Oh, just children.
No need for concern.
Ah, I received a letter
from William.
Coming home.
So I'm going to be fine.
Please, let a father worry
for his son, and I am worried.
Cyrus may have sworn to a truce,
but his words are fickle.
Jacob.
You must return
to your true home.
I have a sister that has
the power to control
the sun and the moon,
and Cyrus believes her.
All will be well.
We both know Katherine's
claims are just that.
How long before Cyrus
deduces the same?
The magic did work, Father.
Cyrus wouldn't dare
hurt me again.
[POUNDING AT DOOR]
Jacob Landry, you've been
summoned to Lingermore.
What's this?
This is exactly what we need
to ease the tension
between Elliot and Kat.
Karaoke?
You weren't there the last time.
Your mom totally channeled
her inner Alanis.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Trust me, it's the perfect way
to help El fix things with Kat.
Why does Elliot need
to fix things with my mom?
Uh Um nothing specific.
But you know those two,
always a big ol' roller-coaster
ride of emotions.
Plus, I'm sharing a roof
with your mom right now.
The stuff with Jacob. It's bad.
- I mean you're not wrong.
- Which means I'm right.
So I'll get El and Kat to come
and you pick an epic
90's song for them to sing.
Kind of over the 90s.
But the 70s. That's been
cheering me up lately.
Perfect.
[PHONE ALERT]
- Max Goodwin: LAB? When R we meeting?
- Oh no.
SAM: I've been worried about you
these last few days.
What's the matter?
Oh, Jacob left,
and I don't know
when he's gonna be back.
So you have to forgive me
if I'm a little distant.
What the heck was he thinking?
I'm sorry, Del.
- Do you know where he is?
- It's, um, complicated,
but I'm dealing with it.
Tell me what you need.
I'm here.
Um, you know what you could do?
You could answer
a question for me.
- Sure.
- I saw you the other day
with Kat's old intern,
Casey Goodwin.
Casey.
Yeah, they called,
said they were in town.
We were just catching up.
I didn't know you knew them,
that's all.
They're a client.
Casey came to me last year
in need of legal advice.
I often do pro bono work
for people in need.
What would someone so young
need legal advice for?
Del, you know very well
I can't answer that.
That's attorney-client
privilege.
Listen, what about a night out?
They're doing karaoke
at the Point tomorrow.
You may want to lose my number
after hearing me sing,
but I'm willing
to take the risk.
I don't know
if I wanna go listen
to a bunch of people sing.
- Oh, come on.
- Well, I'll think about it.
Yeah.
Well, it was nice of you
to finally show up.
I was starting to think
I was gonna have to do
- this lab myself.
- I was busy with family stuff.
Your uncle didn't go missing
again, did he?
Uh, no.
You know some people are still
weirded out by all that, right?
- Who?
- Me. I'm people.
Why are you so interested
in my uncle?
Because my dad's asked him
to consult on his vineyard.
He thinks Jacob Landry's
some sort of soil whisperer.
Dad's risking a lot of money
on his sad little
midlife crisis of his.
So just tell me your uncle's
not gonna do me
- out of my inheritance.
- You're not subtle.
I get that a lot. So what?
You want a tour or something?
I've been here before.
Many different times.
Although, I haven't
seen the attic.
That's 'cause no one
goes up there.
It's been untouched for decades.
Perfect. Let's go.
Jacob.
Susanna.
You summoned me. But why?
Has Cyrus done something?
Has he hurt you?
No, Cyrus has remained
a gentleman.
- Then why send his men?
- I had to see you.
Because I thought you left,
Jacob.
With Katherine.
Yet you remain. Why?
[DOOR OPENS LOUDLY]
So, clearly not
the life-threatening scenario
- that I had imagined.
- Well, you seem disappointed.
When I heard that Cyrus' men
had taken you,
- I assumed the worst.
- But how did you get in?
Uh, easily. Said men
still cower before me.
It's rather convenient.
- If you're here is Katherine?
- No.
She returned home
while I chose to remain.
After everything? Why would
Katherine just leave?
Because I forced her to.
She caused our father's death
in my time,
and she kept that from me,
Susanna.
I trusted her and she lied.
Jacob. I know Katherine.
Nothing would pain her more
than knowing she hurt you.
Katherine fights
for those she loves.
[TENSE, MELANCHOLIC MUSIC]
She has been my light
in dark times.
She's beautiful. Why hide her?
Because Cyrus and this town
can never know the truth
of our friendship.
She is the White Witch,
after all.
Go home to Katherine, Jacob.
The pain you feel.
She feels it too.
You need one another. Not us.
That's not true.
I do need you.
Well.
That is unfortunate.
Since Susanna
is not yours to have.
Cyrus, you are not
welcome up here.
I'm afraid I must impose,
my love.
For receiving gentlemen
callers in your private chambers
risks a reputation
too precious to tarnish.
Yours
and mine.
Let me escort them out.
You have my word,
they will not be harmed.
And you have my word
that if you put a hand on Susanna,
- I will harm you.
- Be careful, Jacob.
Your witch isn't here
to protect you.
[SCOFFS]
MAX: So now you've seen it.
You can check it off your
bucket list or whatever.
I thought you said
no one came up here.
I didn't think they did.
Although my dad did mention
something about a squatter
here last summer.
I mean, it's bound to happen.
This place has been empty
ever since
there was Okay.
What's this?
Wait. How did you know
that was there?
I'm surprised you didn't.
Being the smartest kid
in class and all.
A phone and a chess piece.
Why would a squatter
leave these behind?
And why hide them here?
I mean, why even
come up here at all?
There are way nicer rooms
downstairs
for some derelict to pilfer.
Some people see beauty
in unlikely places, you know.
Evelyn always did.
What do you know
about my grandmother?
Oh, um, my grandpa.
He and Evelyn
were best friends as kids.
She was an amazing person
back then, I hear.
At least that was
the story I was told.
Well, I didn't ask
to hear that story, alright?
Why don't we just
stick to the lab?
Max, I was just
trying to be nice.
Well, I don't need nice!
You don't have to get
to know me, Alice.
You don't even have to like me.
I wI was just trying to help.
You're not.
Getting involved doesn't make
things better, you're just
making things worse.
Okay.
[ALICE CRYING SOFTLY]
Mom, you can't!
It's not going to work, okay?
Alice!
There you are.
I talked to Sam today.
He didn't tell me much
about his connection to Casey,
only that he gave them
legal advice last summer.
Alice Honey.
I tried to help, but
I just made everything worse.
What are you talking about?
It was me.
I was the one on the road
that night that Colton
crashed his truck.
And mom was just pushing me
out of the way,
but it was me not her, okay?
So can you just be mad at me?
Oh!
Alice.
Honey
What if Jacob doesn't come back?
And what if the pond
won't let me get to him?
I'm sure it'll work, okay?
Sometime. Maybe it just wants
you to stay here for now.
To deal with the problems that
might still be unresolved.
Maybe.
But how do I fix things
with Mom?
[EXHALES]
Kat. There's something
that I need to
Hey! I've got news.
Now I know that you're both
a little stressed out,
but the pond's broken, yeah?
And Kat's clearly
a bit bummed out.
So why don't we change the vibe?
Have a karaoke night?
Not everything can be cured
by karaoke, Nick.
Come on, man.
Alice is down for it,
and when was the last time
the four of us hung out?
Um the Point, January 2000.
- The night Alice dumped you.
- Right.
So we're due for a reunion.
Do you really think karaoke's
a good idea tonight?
I mean I don't know.
Singing just feels really
weird right now.
Chess. Okay. That feels weirder.
I found this and a burner
phone at Lingermore.
Max said there was a squatter
there last summer.
And I think it was Casey.
I know you think
that they're not a time traveler
because they showed up on time
and they had a phone.
But what if Casey was hiding out
at Lingermore
while it was vacant and using
the phone to make calls?
It's a good theory,
but there's still
no definitive proof that Casey
was the squatter at Lingermore.
Except that I was.
Hi.
Ugh, Casey! What a great surprise.
I didn't know when
I would see you again.
Sorry. I know I haven't been
entirely truthful with you guys.
- You mean you lied.
- About being Lewis' kid,
yeah, but I really am a Goodwin.
Lewis is actually
my second cousin.
I lied because things
were really bad for me
- at home last summer.
- By that you mean
the summer of 2024, right?
I think what Alice is trying
to say
is that we were confused.
I mean we couldn't find
any trace of you.
Didn't really want you to.
I ran away from home.
Last summer was the worse
one of my life,
but then I met you,
and that internship
was so much more to me
than a job, Kat.
It made me feel like family.
Yeah.
That's why I'm back, now.
I wanted to come
and say thank you.
So how did you convince
Lewis to change his mind
- about buying our land?
- I called my parents
and asked them to talk to him.
And a family friend helped
with all the legal stuff.
- You mean Sam Bishop.
- Uh
Yeah. Sam.
Look. The Landry's did
so much for me,
I just wanted to do
something in return.
I should probably get going.
My family's waiting and
- we're just passing through town, so
- Come here.
No, um, wait!
You just got here.
I'm sorry.
Okay, please tell me that puts
your Casey theory to bed.
They're not a time traveler.
And at least now you know
that Max Goodwin
isn't your future husband.
Definitely great news,
but then
who was in the field that night?
The night that I got pushed
in the pond?
I was so sure it was Casey.
Hey, stranger! You okay?
I thought I'd check in.
I appreciate it, Rita,
but I'm I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
What's going on?
They started coming as soon
as Jacob's return was announced.
"Your lie is known"?
"Time will tell"?
What are they talking about?
I don't know, I just
wish I knew
who was sending them.
Well, if there is one thing
that I have learned
from 12 seasons
of Murder She Wrote,
it is always the person
you least suspect.
- Sam.
- Sam?
- Yeah.
- Even Angela Lansbury
would say that's far-fetched.
Okay, I wasn't gonna say
anything before
because it is not like me
to gossip.
But a friend of a friend
of my cousin Lucy in Toronto
told me that Sam once tried
a case against
some white-collar criminal
and got him sent to prison.
So what if this guy
wants revenge
and he's coming for the people
Sam cares about most?
Why were you talking
to your cousin about Sam?
I like to look
into who my best friend's
inviting into her home!
Apparently, Sam was taking trips
into the city
for parole hearings to try
to keep this guy in jail.
But he got out
on his last appeal.
Rita, I know Sam
and he wouldn't hide
something like that from me.
You made a mistake.
Kat'll understand.
I don't even know
why I kissed Emma.
Things were good with Kat.
I was happy.
At least, I thought I was.
[NICK SIGHS]
Hey, guys.
So, what song did you pick?
Alice, you were suppose
to pick the song!
It's okay, it's fine. I'm on it.
[CLEAR THROAT]
Is everything okay?
Yeah, just
glad you're here.
So, Mr. Augustine.
I seriously need
a new lab partner.
Really? But Max submitted
your lab earlier.
Said you really
pulled your weight.
Huh?
That's very nice of him.
I know Max can be abrasive,
but I think the move to
Porthaven has been hard on him.
According to his dad,
he was really close with Evelyn.
Apparently,
he's feeling the loss.
Max was close with Evelyn?
JACOB: I don't know who Kat is anymore.
You know, she sat here
mere months ago
convincing me to come home,
knowing that she's the one
who broke that home apart.
She was reckless.
But Katherine takes risks.
Whether foolish or dangerous.
And I was finally finding
my place at home.
I was starting a job,
I was building a life.
And then Kat told me the truth
and it all came crashing down.
I don't know
where to be right now.
Be with her, Jacob.
The guilt she must feel.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone,
not even our dear Cyrus Goodwin.
But Katherine carried it
while fighting for you,
to get you home.
How is it I can both love
and hate her in this moment?
Because she's family.
Family's worth holding on to.
Anger, however,
that's just poison.
And in my experience, the sooner
you let it go, the better.
[APPLAUSE]
So, are you going
to sing something or
No. No, I am not singing.
Nicholas, no you didn't.
Not again!
I would love to hear it
for Kat and Elliot.
Woo! Kat and Elliot!
I guess we're really doing this.

[CHUCKLES]
Father, Susanna,
should I really be leaving them
when their world is
No world is perfect, Jacob.
They're survivors,
like you and I.
They'll manage without you,
and without me, I daresay.
Enough.
I was in shock.
I needed time.
But after listening to what
Alice said,
I started thinking
if I had said
something different
to Cole that night,
maybe he wouldn't have gotten
in the truck.
No. Mom, there's nothing
that you could've done.
Well, there's nothing that you
could've done either, honey.
But if I hadn't jumped out
in front of his truck.
Alice was there.
You didn't have a choice!
I would've done the same thing.
I wouldn't have hesitated
had it been you.
There is no greater pain
than losing a child.
I know that too well.
I'm going back to the 1800s.
I will not let Jake go.
Not again.
I'm gonna go with you.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
[DOOR OPENS]
Jacob.
[DEL SIGHS IN RELIEF]
KAT: Jacob's back.
You were right.
The pond wanted me to stay
so I could fix things with mom.
And I think it's
it's going to be okay.
Kat. Emma kissed me.
While you were gone.
Wow. Uh, okay.
Well, I can't say I'm very
happy about that.
But that's on her, though.
[WHISPERING:]I kissed her back.
Um
I I'm sorry.
No, I pushed you away
by going to the past.
We're both guilty of just going
down roads we shouldn't have.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go home.
I need to be with Jake
and and my family.
So
what happens now?
I don't know.
Do you?
No. I don't.
ALICE: Hey.
It's okay. Wasn't gonna jump.
Just needed some space to think.
Jacob, Mom and I were both
on the road that night.
I'm so sorry that you
had to witness that, Alice.
No, I
I didn't just witness it,
I caused it, too.
So how come you can talk to me,
but not to Mom?
I just I need some time.
Are you here
intending to jump?
Colton said that he was
planning something really big
for Del and I kinda hoped
I'd see it.
But seems trivial now.
Seeing Dad?
That's not trivial.
Maybe you wanna come with me?
[SIGHING] I can't. Not yet.
Well, if you need
someone to talk to
- It's okay, go see him.
- Oh. No, I was gonna say,
there's someone I would always
talk to
when I couldn't speak to Mom.
He always helped me.
Well, things between Kat and I
are complicated, right now.
[SIGHS LOUDLY]
They certainly are.
I found that in the wall.
Doesn't work anymore.
For some reason I can't bring
myself to throw it out.
Yeah, Dad and I, we uh
used to love
projects like this.
It hurts.
To lose a parent.
I lost my mom when I was young.
She left and passed away
some time after.
My father refuses
to talk about it.
But even though
I barely knew her
I still miss her.
JACOB: Yeah, I feel
the same way about my dad.
We had
eight years together,
but it wasn't enough.
It never is.
Time with Colton.
We're always gonna
want more of that.
Actually, Alice took me back
to '99.
I saw him. I spoke to him.
I'll always be grateful
for that extra time.
Would you, uh
would you tell me
more about that?
- What do you want to know?
- Everything.
[EXHALES]
[SOMEONE BLOWS OUT]
[BLOWS OUT]
Alice! What are you
doing here?
I wanted to see how
your big plan went.
No, it didn't!
Today is Delilah's last day.
She's inside saying
goodbye right now.
[MUFFLED VOICES]
- You gotta go.
- Right.
These goodbyes aren't
getting any easier.
I don't want this to end, Cole.
No, Deli. It's not the end,
okay? It can't be.
I might say I don't believe
in fairy tales,
but this us
I mean it's the closest thing
to one, right?
So, guess what that means?
What? Tell me.
It means we
we get a happy ending.
We just got to.
Uh, but, um
your prince charming's
a real space cadet.
Today's your birthday,
and I didn't get you a gift,
so, one last song?
- Okay.
- [HONKING]
Evie! Wh.. What are you doing here?
I'm taking Delilah
to the train. My mom insisted.
So, your chariot awaits.
No, no, no.
That is not the plan, okay?
I'm taking her, Evie.
You need to go.
Just I, I need a few more minutes.
- Okay, this isn't our goodbye.
- It's okay, Cole.
- I'll go with her.
- No, Deli, you can't!
I want to. It's easier.
Please, Cole.
- It's time to let me go.
- No, you can't.
It's easier this way.
- [CRYING]
- Deli
Deli, please.
Stay!
RADIO: Nixon submitted
his resignation letter
to secretary of state,
Henry Kissinger, this morning.
One hopes that it will be
the beginning
of what Nixon himself
taught in his speech last nigh,
the start of that
process of healing
which he so desperately needed.
[PHONE PINGS]
Leave me stranded at karaoke?
Don't say a word?
What's going on, Del?
I could ask you the same thing.
You said you were going
to Toronto
to see your grandkids,
but that's not
what you were doing there,
is it?
Well, that's a bit
of a long story, Del.
- I don't need a story. I want honesty.
- [CHUCKLES MOCKINGLY]
What about Casey Goodwin?
Is that a story?
No, we already
talked about that.
I can't say anymore, Del.
- It's attorney-client privilege.
- Oh, god.
What is that? Have you been
completely honest with me?
We both know there's more
to Jacob's recent disappearance
than you're letting on.
However hard a time you had
with trusting Colton
before he passed,
that does not mean
that you can't trust me.
Don't tell me
how I feel about Cole.
And as far as Jacob's
disappearance goes
excuse me, but that is
mother-son privilege.
Things will get easier.
Yeah? How do you know?
Just trust me, okay?
- Were you just about to?
- No.
No, I wasn't.
'Cause that'd be crazy, right?
We're too young,
still in high school.
Time to wake up from the dream.
So you're telling me that
karaoke didn't fix everything?
I'm not sure what's next.
Do you remember
at your wedding when I told you
that Emma was the best thing
that ever happened to you?
Total lie.
It's always been Kat.
I'm sure you'll find your way
back to each other,
you always do.
And I'm sure somewhere
there's an open house
calling my name, so I'm
just gonna go ahead
Kat. I'm so sorry.
Please don't apologize.
Because if there's anybody that
knows about making mistakes, it's me.
I'm gonna move back with Mom.
You know, I was thinking
maybe
maybe Jacob could stay here
for a while.
He could really use a friend.
So does this mean
we're breaking up?
All I know is that right now,
I could really use a friend too.
Did you know that Elliot
saw Dad again?
Alice took him into the pond.
Uh, I didn't, but I know
how much Cole meant to Elliot. Mm.
I'm glad they had
that time together.
It feels like the only two people
who haven't got more time with him
are you and me.
Oh, I don't need a pond
to take me back to Cole.
All I have to do
is listen to that demo.
- Would you mind if I
- No, please. Put it on. [LAUGHS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
That's him.
Yes, it's him.
He's young, but it's him.
No. I I mean,
that's the boy from the farm.
1814. He is the one
who told us what to plant.
The potatoes and the rye.
That, that boy
was Dad.
- Katherine.
- [SHE GASPS]
What's happened?
Somebody hurt you?
No, no. Um. Well, I
I came to see Susanna because
I wanted to talk to her.
But
Elliot kissed somebody else.
He
Elliot kissed somebody
else and I
[MUSIC SWELLING]
And now so have you.
- Casey?
- Alice.
- What are you doing here?
- Um, I remembered something
that I wanted to tell Kat,
but I went up to the farm house
- and she wasn't there, so
- I wanted to apologize
- for questioning you so
- No, it's fine, really.
I'm just glad everything's
out in the open now.
Hey, Casey?
- Where'd you get that ring?
- This?
Um it's a family ring.
- Goodwin family?
- No.
Wait! Casey!
Casey, stop!
Hey! Wait!
Casey!
[THEME MUSIC]
Previously, on The Way Home
Emma. Here.
Is that Cat's intern with Sam?
I'm terrified that I might
end up marrying Max Goodwin.
Dad died in an accident
I caused.
- I can't even look at you.
- [LOUD GASP]
Colton.
He's still under there.
The White Witch! She saved us.
I killed dad!
I'm so sorry!
[SOBS]
Elliot and Alice told me
that there was no way
we could have prevented
dad's accident.
That what happened
will always happen.
I really hoped
I really believed
that somehow
I could.
So
I waited for dad's truck.
Headlights were coming
towards me and then
then Alice wh It
I did it.
I stepped onto the road.
Dad swerved the truck
to avoid hitting me.
I tried to stop it,
but I caused it, Mom.
And I told Jacob.
And it's why he didn't come back
with me from 1816,
and I really don't know
if he ever will.
I am so, so sorry, Mom.
Mom.
I told
I told her the truth.
No, but you didn't.
You didn't tell her about me.
You tried to stop me.
And if I had listened
then you wouldn't even
have ever been there.
That was my fault.
So I need you to let me take it.
[EXHALES SHAKILY]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Alice!
I'm so glad you're home.
I really needed a friend.
Well, it's further proof
of our psychic connection.
I was just telling Cole
that I needed to see you.
- President Nixon will reportedly
- [SCOFFS]
announce his resignation
Can you believe
this Watergate stuff?
Leader of the free world turns
out to be a crook. It's insane.
I mean, if you can't trust
the president who can you trust?
Never mind Nixon!
I've been dying to tell you
ever since the seance.
The portrait of the woman.
My Katherine.
I know who she is.
This is the woman who saved me
when I almost drowned.
I thought you said
it was Colton who had
He tried, but
when I saw her face,
I knew it was her.
- Evie, stop.
- What?
You said that you felt like
you were being sucked under
that night, Cole.
I bet she saved both of us.
No, no, no. I saved myself.
From a weed.
That's not what
you believed before!
Remember what we used
to write to each other?
When our parents didn't
let us talk,
Cole and I would write messages
to each other
with invisible ink.
We hid them everywhere.
Pieces of scrap paper
tucked in trees
Or in books, right?
Look, um, you asked me
to come see the portrait.
I did, now I gotta run.
Uh, Alice,
why don't I give you a ride?
- She just got here.
- Um, actually, Colton's right.
I should probably be going home.
I never told anyone about
those messages
in the Wonderland books.
How did you know
they were there?
I guess it was obvious.
That night at the cove
when you gave them to Evelyn.
The look on your face. I just
knew that there was more to it.
And that's why you were
so disappointed
when she gave you one back, right?
What were you trying
to tell her that was so secret?
Doesn't matter.
A lot has changed
since that night at the cove
Just promise me you
won't tell Evie about him.
I've got enough on my mind.
Del leaves tomorrow to go home.
On her birthday.
Can you believe that?
I've got something
pretty big planned.
Good.
Hey, so, um,
what did Evelyn mean
when she said that you almost
got sucked under
that night at the pond?
Like I said. Evie's just
making up stories, huh?
A defining moment
in our history,
should Nixon resign,
he will become the only
US president in history
Some stories don't
have a happy ending.
You're right. They don't.
Grandma hasn't said
much these past few days.
She keeps going on long drives.
I don't know how she feels.
I'll tell you how she feels.
Hurt and betrayed.
Maybe come home
instead of staying away?
I don't even know how to face
her after telling her
what I did.
You mean what I did.
Mom, she has to know
the whole truth.
No. She needs somebody
to be there for her, Ali.
And you've always been so good
at talking with her
Man. Home prices
these days are crazy.
I mean, take me back to '99, am I right?
[HE LAUGHS]
Yeah?
Come on, that was funny.
I need to get back to the house.
Yeesh.
I I have to go
and try to talk to Jacob
and convince him to forgive me
and then come home.
What about Del?
Kat, look.
When you told me
what really happened,
I didn't understand it either.
But Del will eventually realize
what I did,
that there was nothing you
could have done differently.
I just need to bring him home.
At least that's one thing
that I can fix for her.
- [SIGHS]
- Right I've heard that before.
I didn't mean it like that.
Kat.
Hey. Is Kat going
to jump in the pond?
Can Can I watch?
Read the room, Nick.
Jacob?
It's just me.
He'll come home. I know he will.
I was at Elliot's.
Mom's a wreck.
Maybe we can all talk?
We can't stay like this forever.
[SIGHS]
Did Alice seem off
to you this morning?
So weird for her, isn't it?
Me being here.
Kind of thought we cleared
the air last year, but
- I get it.
- It's not about you, man.
We're all a bit
distracted right now.
The stuff with Del and Jacob
is, um, tough.
Yeah, what's with that?
I thought it was just classic
Landry drama.
Something Del and Kat
would get over
- with a bottle of wine.
- It's not my story to tell
But in the meantime
If you wouldn't mind
not mentioning anything
- about Emma in front of Kat.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna tell her, eventually.
About the kiss.
Dude. You kissed Emma?
Elliot!
It didn't work.
The pond wouldn't let me go.
I'm sorry, Kat. I'm sorry.
I have to bring Jacob home,
now. I have to.
ELIJAH: You've given me a gift,
staying with me here
a while longer.
I couldn't leave you, Father.
Not during these
uncertain times.
I'm grateful for it.
But I also know my son.
There's more to this story.
You're avoiding something.
I didn't raise you to hide
from your problems.
You may call it hiding,
I suppose,
but I call it survival.
The other side of the pond
is not a place I belong.
Not now.
And there's more to this
story too. Isn't there?
Oh, just children.
No need for concern.
Ah, I received a letter
from William.
Coming home.
So I'm going to be fine.
Please, let a father worry
for his son, and I am worried.
Cyrus may have sworn to a truce,
but his words are fickle.
Jacob.
You must return
to your true home.
I have a sister that has
the power to control
the sun and the moon,
and Cyrus believes her.
All will be well.
We both know Katherine's
claims are just that.
How long before Cyrus
deduces the same?
The magic did work, Father.
Cyrus wouldn't dare
hurt me again.
[POUNDING AT DOOR]
Jacob Landry, you've been
summoned to Lingermore.
What's this?
This is exactly what we need
to ease the tension
between Elliot and Kat.
Karaoke?
You weren't there the last time.
Your mom totally channeled
her inner Alanis.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Trust me, it's the perfect way
to help El fix things with Kat.
Why does Elliot need
to fix things with my mom?
Uh Um nothing specific.
But you know those two,
always a big ol' roller-coaster
ride of emotions.
Plus, I'm sharing a roof
with your mom right now.
The stuff with Jacob. It's bad.
- I mean you're not wrong.
- Which means I'm right.
So I'll get El and Kat to come
and you pick an epic
90's song for them to sing.
Kind of over the 90s.
But the 70s. That's been
cheering me up lately.
Perfect.
[PHONE ALERT]
- Max Goodwin: LAB? When R we meeting?
- Oh no.
SAM: I've been worried about you
these last few days.
What's the matter?
Oh, Jacob left,
and I don't know
when he's gonna be back.
So you have to forgive me
if I'm a little distant.
What the heck was he thinking?
I'm sorry, Del.
- Do you know where he is?
- It's, um, complicated,
but I'm dealing with it.
Tell me what you need.
I'm here.
Um, you know what you could do?
You could answer
a question for me.
- Sure.
- I saw you the other day
with Kat's old intern,
Casey Goodwin.
Casey.
Yeah, they called,
said they were in town.
We were just catching up.
I didn't know you knew them,
that's all.
They're a client.
Casey came to me last year
in need of legal advice.
I often do pro bono work
for people in need.
What would someone so young
need legal advice for?
Del, you know very well
I can't answer that.
That's attorney-client
privilege.
Listen, what about a night out?
They're doing karaoke
at the Point tomorrow.
You may want to lose my number
after hearing me sing,
but I'm willing
to take the risk.
I don't know
if I wanna go listen
to a bunch of people sing.
- Oh, come on.
- Well, I'll think about it.
Yeah.
Well, it was nice of you
to finally show up.
I was starting to think
I was gonna have to do
- this lab myself.
- I was busy with family stuff.
Your uncle didn't go missing
again, did he?
Uh, no.
You know some people are still
weirded out by all that, right?
- Who?
- Me. I'm people.
Why are you so interested
in my uncle?
Because my dad's asked him
to consult on his vineyard.
He thinks Jacob Landry's
some sort of soil whisperer.
Dad's risking a lot of money
on his sad little
midlife crisis of his.
So just tell me your uncle's
not gonna do me
- out of my inheritance.
- You're not subtle.
I get that a lot. So what?
You want a tour or something?
I've been here before.
Many different times.
Although, I haven't
seen the attic.
That's 'cause no one
goes up there.
It's been untouched for decades.
Perfect. Let's go.
Jacob.
Susanna.
You summoned me. But why?
Has Cyrus done something?
Has he hurt you?
No, Cyrus has remained
a gentleman.
- Then why send his men?
- I had to see you.
Because I thought you left,
Jacob.
With Katherine.
Yet you remain. Why?
[DOOR OPENS LOUDLY]
So, clearly not
the life-threatening scenario
- that I had imagined.
- Well, you seem disappointed.
When I heard that Cyrus' men
had taken you,
- I assumed the worst.
- But how did you get in?
Uh, easily. Said men
still cower before me.
It's rather convenient.
- If you're here is Katherine?
- No.
She returned home
while I chose to remain.
After everything? Why would
Katherine just leave?
Because I forced her to.
She caused our father's death
in my time,
and she kept that from me,
Susanna.
I trusted her and she lied.
Jacob. I know Katherine.
Nothing would pain her more
than knowing she hurt you.
Katherine fights
for those she loves.
[TENSE, MELANCHOLIC MUSIC]
She has been my light
in dark times.
She's beautiful. Why hide her?
Because Cyrus and this town
can never know the truth
of our friendship.
She is the White Witch,
after all.
Go home to Katherine, Jacob.
The pain you feel.
She feels it too.
You need one another. Not us.
That's not true.
I do need you.
Well.
That is unfortunate.
Since Susanna
is not yours to have.
Cyrus, you are not
welcome up here.
I'm afraid I must impose,
my love.
For receiving gentlemen
callers in your private chambers
risks a reputation
too precious to tarnish.
Yours
and mine.
Let me escort them out.
You have my word,
they will not be harmed.
And you have my word
that if you put a hand on Susanna,
- I will harm you.
- Be careful, Jacob.
Your witch isn't here
to protect you.
[SCOFFS]
MAX: So now you've seen it.
You can check it off your
bucket list or whatever.
I thought you said
no one came up here.
I didn't think they did.
Although my dad did mention
something about a squatter
here last summer.
I mean, it's bound to happen.
This place has been empty
ever since
there was Okay.
What's this?
Wait. How did you know
that was there?
I'm surprised you didn't.
Being the smartest kid
in class and all.
A phone and a chess piece.
Why would a squatter
leave these behind?
And why hide them here?
I mean, why even
come up here at all?
There are way nicer rooms
downstairs
for some derelict to pilfer.
Some people see beauty
in unlikely places, you know.
Evelyn always did.
What do you know
about my grandmother?
Oh, um, my grandpa.
He and Evelyn
were best friends as kids.
She was an amazing person
back then, I hear.
At least that was
the story I was told.
Well, I didn't ask
to hear that story, alright?
Why don't we just
stick to the lab?
Max, I was just
trying to be nice.
Well, I don't need nice!
You don't have to get
to know me, Alice.
You don't even have to like me.
I wI was just trying to help.
You're not.
Getting involved doesn't make
things better, you're just
making things worse.
Okay.
[ALICE CRYING SOFTLY]
Mom, you can't!
It's not going to work, okay?
Alice!
There you are.
I talked to Sam today.
He didn't tell me much
about his connection to Casey,
only that he gave them
legal advice last summer.
Alice Honey.
I tried to help, but
I just made everything worse.
What are you talking about?
It was me.
I was the one on the road
that night that Colton
crashed his truck.
And mom was just pushing me
out of the way,
but it was me not her, okay?
So can you just be mad at me?
Oh!
Alice.
Honey
What if Jacob doesn't come back?
And what if the pond
won't let me get to him?
I'm sure it'll work, okay?
Sometime. Maybe it just wants
you to stay here for now.
To deal with the problems that
might still be unresolved.
Maybe.
But how do I fix things
with Mom?
[EXHALES]
Kat. There's something
that I need to
Hey! I've got news.
Now I know that you're both
a little stressed out,
but the pond's broken, yeah?
And Kat's clearly
a bit bummed out.
So why don't we change the vibe?
Have a karaoke night?
Not everything can be cured
by karaoke, Nick.
Come on, man.
Alice is down for it,
and when was the last time
the four of us hung out?
Um the Point, January 2000.
- The night Alice dumped you.
- Right.
So we're due for a reunion.
Do you really think karaoke's
a good idea tonight?
I mean I don't know.
Singing just feels really
weird right now.
Chess. Okay. That feels weirder.
I found this and a burner
phone at Lingermore.
Max said there was a squatter
there last summer.
And I think it was Casey.
I know you think
that they're not a time traveler
because they showed up on time
and they had a phone.
But what if Casey was hiding out
at Lingermore
while it was vacant and using
the phone to make calls?
It's a good theory,
but there's still
no definitive proof that Casey
was the squatter at Lingermore.
Except that I was.
Hi.
Ugh, Casey! What a great surprise.
I didn't know when
I would see you again.
Sorry. I know I haven't been
entirely truthful with you guys.
- You mean you lied.
- About being Lewis' kid,
yeah, but I really am a Goodwin.
Lewis is actually
my second cousin.
I lied because things
were really bad for me
- at home last summer.
- By that you mean
the summer of 2024, right?
I think what Alice is trying
to say
is that we were confused.
I mean we couldn't find
any trace of you.
Didn't really want you to.
I ran away from home.
Last summer was the worse
one of my life,
but then I met you,
and that internship
was so much more to me
than a job, Kat.
It made me feel like family.
Yeah.
That's why I'm back, now.
I wanted to come
and say thank you.
So how did you convince
Lewis to change his mind
- about buying our land?
- I called my parents
and asked them to talk to him.
And a family friend helped
with all the legal stuff.
- You mean Sam Bishop.
- Uh
Yeah. Sam.
Look. The Landry's did
so much for me,
I just wanted to do
something in return.
I should probably get going.
My family's waiting and
- we're just passing through town, so
- Come here.
No, um, wait!
You just got here.
I'm sorry.
Okay, please tell me that puts
your Casey theory to bed.
They're not a time traveler.
And at least now you know
that Max Goodwin
isn't your future husband.
Definitely great news,
but then
who was in the field that night?
The night that I got pushed
in the pond?
I was so sure it was Casey.
Hey, stranger! You okay?
I thought I'd check in.
I appreciate it, Rita,
but I'm I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
What's going on?
They started coming as soon
as Jacob's return was announced.
"Your lie is known"?
"Time will tell"?
What are they talking about?
I don't know, I just
wish I knew
who was sending them.
Well, if there is one thing
that I have learned
from 12 seasons
of Murder She Wrote,
it is always the person
you least suspect.
- Sam.
- Sam?
- Yeah.
- Even Angela Lansbury
would say that's far-fetched.
Okay, I wasn't gonna say
anything before
because it is not like me
to gossip.
But a friend of a friend
of my cousin Lucy in Toronto
told me that Sam once tried
a case against
some white-collar criminal
and got him sent to prison.
So what if this guy
wants revenge
and he's coming for the people
Sam cares about most?
Why were you talking
to your cousin about Sam?
I like to look
into who my best friend's
inviting into her home!
Apparently, Sam was taking trips
into the city
for parole hearings to try
to keep this guy in jail.
But he got out
on his last appeal.
Rita, I know Sam
and he wouldn't hide
something like that from me.
You made a mistake.
Kat'll understand.
I don't even know
why I kissed Emma.
Things were good with Kat.
I was happy.
At least, I thought I was.
[NICK SIGHS]
Hey, guys.
So, what song did you pick?
Alice, you were suppose
to pick the song!
It's okay, it's fine. I'm on it.
[CLEAR THROAT]
Is everything okay?
Yeah, just
glad you're here.
So, Mr. Augustine.
I seriously need
a new lab partner.
Really? But Max submitted
your lab earlier.
Said you really
pulled your weight.
Huh?
That's very nice of him.
I know Max can be abrasive,
but I think the move to
Porthaven has been hard on him.
According to his dad,
he was really close with Evelyn.
Apparently,
he's feeling the loss.
Max was close with Evelyn?
JACOB: I don't know who Kat is anymore.
You know, she sat here
mere months ago
convincing me to come home,
knowing that she's the one
who broke that home apart.
She was reckless.
But Katherine takes risks.
Whether foolish or dangerous.
And I was finally finding
my place at home.
I was starting a job,
I was building a life.
And then Kat told me the truth
and it all came crashing down.
I don't know
where to be right now.
Be with her, Jacob.
The guilt she must feel.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone,
not even our dear Cyrus Goodwin.
But Katherine carried it
while fighting for you,
to get you home.
How is it I can both love
and hate her in this moment?
Because she's family.
Family's worth holding on to.
Anger, however,
that's just poison.
And in my experience, the sooner
you let it go, the better.
[APPLAUSE]
So, are you going
to sing something or
No. No, I am not singing.
Nicholas, no you didn't.
Not again!
I would love to hear it
for Kat and Elliot.
Woo! Kat and Elliot!
I guess we're really doing this.

[CHUCKLES]
Father, Susanna,
should I really be leaving them
when their world is
No world is perfect, Jacob.
They're survivors,
like you and I.
They'll manage without you,
and without me, I daresay.
Enough.
I was in shock.
I needed time.
But after listening to what
Alice said,
I started thinking
if I had said
something different
to Cole that night,
maybe he wouldn't have gotten
in the truck.
No. Mom, there's nothing
that you could've done.
Well, there's nothing that you
could've done either, honey.
But if I hadn't jumped out
in front of his truck.
Alice was there.
You didn't have a choice!
I would've done the same thing.
I wouldn't have hesitated
had it been you.
There is no greater pain
than losing a child.
I know that too well.
I'm going back to the 1800s.
I will not let Jake go.
Not again.
I'm gonna go with you.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
[DOOR OPENS]
Jacob.
[DEL SIGHS IN RELIEF]
KAT: Jacob's back.
You were right.
The pond wanted me to stay
so I could fix things with mom.
And I think it's
it's going to be okay.
Kat. Emma kissed me.
While you were gone.
Wow. Uh, okay.
Well, I can't say I'm very
happy about that.
But that's on her, though.
[WHISPERING:]I kissed her back.
Um
I I'm sorry.
No, I pushed you away
by going to the past.
We're both guilty of just going
down roads we shouldn't have.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go home.
I need to be with Jake
and and my family.
So
what happens now?
I don't know.
Do you?
No. I don't.
ALICE: Hey.
It's okay. Wasn't gonna jump.
Just needed some space to think.
Jacob, Mom and I were both
on the road that night.
I'm so sorry that you
had to witness that, Alice.
No, I
I didn't just witness it,
I caused it, too.
So how come you can talk to me,
but not to Mom?
I just I need some time.
Are you here
intending to jump?
Colton said that he was
planning something really big
for Del and I kinda hoped
I'd see it.
But seems trivial now.
Seeing Dad?
That's not trivial.
Maybe you wanna come with me?
[SIGHING] I can't. Not yet.
Well, if you need
someone to talk to
- It's okay, go see him.
- Oh. No, I was gonna say,
there's someone I would always
talk to
when I couldn't speak to Mom.
He always helped me.
Well, things between Kat and I
are complicated, right now.
[SIGHS LOUDLY]
They certainly are.
I found that in the wall.
Doesn't work anymore.
For some reason I can't bring
myself to throw it out.
Yeah, Dad and I, we uh
used to love
projects like this.
It hurts.
To lose a parent.
I lost my mom when I was young.
She left and passed away
some time after.
My father refuses
to talk about it.
But even though
I barely knew her
I still miss her.
JACOB: Yeah, I feel
the same way about my dad.
We had
eight years together,
but it wasn't enough.
It never is.
Time with Colton.
We're always gonna
want more of that.
Actually, Alice took me back
to '99.
I saw him. I spoke to him.
I'll always be grateful
for that extra time.
Would you, uh
would you tell me
more about that?
- What do you want to know?
- Everything.
[EXHALES]
[SOMEONE BLOWS OUT]
[BLOWS OUT]
Alice! What are you
doing here?
I wanted to see how
your big plan went.
No, it didn't!
Today is Delilah's last day.
She's inside saying
goodbye right now.
[MUFFLED VOICES]
- You gotta go.
- Right.
These goodbyes aren't
getting any easier.
I don't want this to end, Cole.
No, Deli. It's not the end,
okay? It can't be.
I might say I don't believe
in fairy tales,
but this us
I mean it's the closest thing
to one, right?
So, guess what that means?
What? Tell me.
It means we
we get a happy ending.
We just got to.
Uh, but, um
your prince charming's
a real space cadet.
Today's your birthday,
and I didn't get you a gift,
so, one last song?
- Okay.
- [HONKING]
Evie! Wh.. What are you doing here?
I'm taking Delilah
to the train. My mom insisted.
So, your chariot awaits.
No, no, no.
That is not the plan, okay?
I'm taking her, Evie.
You need to go.
Just I, I need a few more minutes.
- Okay, this isn't our goodbye.
- It's okay, Cole.
- I'll go with her.
- No, Deli, you can't!
I want to. It's easier.
Please, Cole.
- It's time to let me go.
- No, you can't.
It's easier this way.
- [CRYING]
- Deli
Deli, please.
Stay!
RADIO: Nixon submitted
his resignation letter
to secretary of state,
Henry Kissinger, this morning.
One hopes that it will be
the beginning
of what Nixon himself
taught in his speech last nigh,
the start of that
process of healing
which he so desperately needed.
[PHONE PINGS]
Leave me stranded at karaoke?
Don't say a word?
What's going on, Del?
I could ask you the same thing.
You said you were going
to Toronto
to see your grandkids,
but that's not
what you were doing there,
is it?
Well, that's a bit
of a long story, Del.
- I don't need a story. I want honesty.
- [CHUCKLES MOCKINGLY]
What about Casey Goodwin?
Is that a story?
No, we already
talked about that.
I can't say anymore, Del.
- It's attorney-client privilege.
- Oh, god.
What is that? Have you been
completely honest with me?
We both know there's more
to Jacob's recent disappearance
than you're letting on.
However hard a time you had
with trusting Colton
before he passed,
that does not mean
that you can't trust me.
Don't tell me
how I feel about Cole.
And as far as Jacob's
disappearance goes
excuse me, but that is
mother-son privilege.
Things will get easier.
Yeah? How do you know?
Just trust me, okay?
- Were you just about to?
- No.
No, I wasn't.
'Cause that'd be crazy, right?
We're too young,
still in high school.
Time to wake up from the dream.
So you're telling me that
karaoke didn't fix everything?
I'm not sure what's next.
Do you remember
at your wedding when I told you
that Emma was the best thing
that ever happened to you?
Total lie.
It's always been Kat.
I'm sure you'll find your way
back to each other,
you always do.
And I'm sure somewhere
there's an open house
calling my name, so I'm
just gonna go ahead
Kat. I'm so sorry.
Please don't apologize.
Because if there's anybody that
knows about making mistakes, it's me.
I'm gonna move back with Mom.
You know, I was thinking
maybe
maybe Jacob could stay here
for a while.
He could really use a friend.
So does this mean
we're breaking up?
All I know is that right now,
I could really use a friend too.
Did you know that Elliot
saw Dad again?
Alice took him into the pond.
Uh, I didn't, but I know
how much Cole meant to Elliot. Mm.
I'm glad they had
that time together.
It feels like the only two people
who haven't got more time with him
are you and me.
Oh, I don't need a pond
to take me back to Cole.
All I have to do
is listen to that demo.
- Would you mind if I
- No, please. Put it on. [LAUGHS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
That's him.
Yes, it's him.
He's young, but it's him.
No. I I mean,
that's the boy from the farm.
1814. He is the one
who told us what to plant.
The potatoes and the rye.
That, that boy
was Dad.
- Katherine.
- [SHE GASPS]
What's happened?
Somebody hurt you?
No, no. Um. Well, I
I came to see Susanna because
I wanted to talk to her.
But
Elliot kissed somebody else.
He
Elliot kissed somebody
else and I
[MUSIC SWELLING]
And now so have you.
- Casey?
- Alice.
- What are you doing here?
- Um, I remembered something
that I wanted to tell Kat,
but I went up to the farm house
- and she wasn't there, so
- I wanted to apologize
- for questioning you so
- No, it's fine, really.
I'm just glad everything's
out in the open now.
Hey, Casey?
- Where'd you get that ring?
- This?
Um it's a family ring.
- Goodwin family?
- No.
Wait! Casey!
Casey, stop!
Hey! Wait!
Casey!
