Original subtitles

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.

Colton. He's still under there.

The White Witch! She saved us.

I killed dad!

I'm so sorry!

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--

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.

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 reportedly will 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.

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.

Take me back to '99, am I right?

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.

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.

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.

You know, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trust me, it's the perfect way

to help El fix things with Kat.

Why does Elliot need

to fix things with my mom?

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.

Oh no.

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?

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?

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.

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.

You have my word, if you put a hand on Susanna,

I will harm you. - Be careful, Jacob.

Your witch isn't here to protect you.

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 was just trying to help.

You're not. Getting involved doesn't make

things better, you're just making things worse.

Okay.

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

See? Karaoke does fix everything. I'm a genius.

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.

Jacob.

Jacob's back.

You were right.

The pond wanted me to stay so I could fix things with mom.

And I think 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.

I kissed her back.

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 my family.

So...

what happens now?

I don't know.

Do you?

No. I don't.

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?

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.

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 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.

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...

would you tell me more about that?

- What do you want to know? - Everything.

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.

You gotta go.

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.

Evie! 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 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.

Deli...

Deli, please.

Stay!

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.

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?

That's a bit of a long story, Del.

I don't need a story. I want honesty.

What about Casey Goodwin?

Is that a story?

No, we already talked about that.

I can't say anymore, Del.

That'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.

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.

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.

What's happened?

Somebody hurt you?

No, no. Well, I...

I came to see Susanna because I wanted to talk to her.

But...

Elliot kissed somebody else.

Elliot kissed somebody else and I--

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!
