Original subtitles

- Previously, on The Way Home.

- Is that Alice on Cole's record?

(Kat): I hate to break it to you, kiddo,

but you do go back to '74.

- Promise to remember being a kid as you read 'em.

- You keep one and I keep one. - Oh, God.

- This ink. I remember this. Dad taught me.

- Dad, are you robbing me?

- Your mother's ring. Where is it?

- Are you Vic Augustine? - What's it to you?

- I'm Rick Augustine. I'm the older and much

friendlier brother to this nimrod here.

(Elliot): Rick died. It was a car accident.

(Alice): He was their best friend.

- You saved Dad's life.

- But why would the pond do that?

- Maybe it's to see if Dad knew

about time travel or the pond.

- Colton?

- Alice?

What are you doing here?

- Uh, I heard, is Rick...? - Yeah, he's gone.

- I'm... I'm so sorry.

- How did you know to find me here?

- I went looking for you at the farm

and then I took a walk in the woods.

- You were at the farm? - Yeah?

- Was everything okay there? - Sure, why?

- Nothing. I didn't know if Mom was upset.

I took off after the funeral.

- Then why come jump in the pond?

- I wasn't thinking straight.

(dark music)

- I knew it. As if you'd ever come back here

without an ulterior motive.

- I'll take a walk, let you calm down.

- Calm down? I just caught

my own father trying to steal from me.

- That ring is mine.

And you aren't using it!

You never did, according to your ex-wife.

- What are you talking about? - I called Emma to get it back.

- Are you serious?

- She'd never even heard of the Augustine

family ring.

- You haven't changed at all.

(tense music)

(Colton and Alice singing)

- How many times do we think she's going to replay it?

- I can hear you, you know.

And this whole time travel thing is still pretty fresh for me.

- I wish I could tell you it's going to get easier.

And I wish I knew what the pond wants with Alice in 1974.

- So...

what's the significance of 1974?

- That's the year Cole and I met.

I wasn't expecting to fall in love that summer.

Not when it started so tragically.

Cole always said it was the...

best and worst summer of his life.

(soft music)

- Wait, what are we...?

- I can't face Delilah Watson. Not like this.

(knocks on door)

(door opens)

- Hi, there.

I just wanted to stop by and offer your family

my condolences.

Where I come from, food is the best way

to show folks that you care.

- Remember what Rick said to you?

Life is too short not to dream big.

And if that's the girl of your dreams, then...

I think he would want you to keep on trying.

- He always knew what to say, huh?

Just can't imagine a life without him.

(soft music)

- I hate you, Colton Landry!

You should've been there.

It should've been you, instead!

(dark music)

- Think it's time to book your flight home.

(scoffs) - Well, you sure know

how to make an old man feel welcome.

- I have a life.

And Kat's moving in.

- So that's why you never gave the ring to Emma.

You were saving it all along for Kat Landry,

the girl you wasted your life waiting around for?

- So you being happy for us before was what, just an act?

Thought you'd butter me up to get that ring back?

- I was looking out for you, boy.

The Landrys have always loved to use us Augustines.

No way my ring is going to one of them.

- It's my ring.

You gave it to me, remember?

You said you didn't even want to look at it

after Mom went away. - She wore it for all of

two minutes before she ran off.

Why does it mean anything to you when it meant nothing to her?

- Of course she left.

Who would stay with you by choice?

- That's a heck of a way to talk to the only

living family you've got left. - You made my life miserable

for too long.

But this is my house now,

and you can use the money I paid you for it

to buy your bride a ring.

Now go pack your things and get out.

(tense music)

(shaky exhale)

(indistinct chatter)

- Hey. Thanks again for letting us do this here.

- It's exactly what he would've wanted.

- Let the family have their private burial.

You all deserve to say goodbye to our Rick

in your own way.

- Yeah.

- You came.

- Yeah. I needed to see you guys, and...

I'm so sorry, Evelyn.

- He was the most beautiful person inside and out,

wasn't he?

- Yeah, just wish I could've

gotten to know him better. - Well,

obviously Morocco's off.

No more running away.

I need to be here with the people that I love.

(* Oh Very Young * by Cat Stevens)

- This one's for Rick.

He'd want us to keep dreaming big.

Life's too short not to.

* Oh very young *

* What will you leave us this time *

* You're only dancing on this Earth for a short while *

* And though your dreams may toss and turn you now *

(Colton sobs)

* They will vanish away *

* Like your daddy's best jeans *

(Evelyn): * Denim blue fading up to the sky *

(together): * And though you want him to last forever *

* You know he never will *

* You know he never will *

* And the patches make the goodbye harder still *

* Oh very young what will you leave us this time *

* There'll never be a better chance to change your mind *

* And if you want this world to see a better day... *

(singing stops)

* Will you carry the words of love with you *

* Will you ride the great white bird in together *

(sobs)

* And though you want to last forever *

* You know you never will *

* You know you never will *

(sounds muffle)

* And the goodbye makes the journey harder still *

* Oh very young what will you leave us this time *

* You're only dancing on this Earth for a short while *

* Oh very young what will you leave us this time **

(birds chirping)

- Hey, I got your text. What's up?

Whoa. (exhales deeply)

- So glad to see you.

- Mmm. - You know, I realized

we haven't had a moment alone together since I asked you

to move in. Let alone celebrate.

- Ah. Too bad that bottle's empty.

- Looks like we left this place a bit of a mess

whenever we were here last.

- Maybe we should tidy up.

Or maybe we should mess it up

more before we tidy up.

- Hm. Mm. - Yeah?

(Kat giggles)

(smooth jazz playing)

What the...?

- Wait a second.

You don't buy Pinot. You're a Cab girl.

- Evelyn.

(crying)

- Sorry.

I just couldn't watch it anymore.

I want to remember Rick as my goofball friend

who gave the best hugs and told the dumbest jokes.

- I can't imagine how it feels to lose your best friend,

but... you still have Colton.

- I do.

But not in the way that I want.

- Wait... do you have feelings for him?

- I have loved him since...

forever.

And he doesn't think of me the same way.

A childish gift for a childhood friend.

Not something you give to someone you harbour

romantic feelings for.

What am I supposed to do?

(soft music)

Tell him?

Rick's gone.

Life is brutally short.

If there's magic to be had, we can't let it just pass us by.

- Yeah. And if Colton doesn't feel the same way,

then you can move on, right? (scoffs)

- One does not move on from the utter devastation

of unrequited love. - Yeah. Right. Sorry.

You know, speaking of Colton,

I saw him earlier today in the pond.

On his land?

- He was in the pond? - Yeah.

Is that normal for him?

- We should be getting back.

(soft music)

- This generation has been robbed of too many good men.

You kids don't need an old coot like me getting philosophical

on you. Stay as long as you like.

Just lock up when you leave.

(Evelyn): Thanks again, Jasper.

(softly strumming)

- Uh, yeah. I should get going too.

But thank you for inviting me.

(Colton): Hey, Alice.

If it weren't for you,

I would've been in that car, too.

Maybe I'm alive because of you.

(soft music)

(exhales shakily)

(bell on door ringing)

(Colton): * Oh very young What will you leave us *

* This time * - He's really good.

- Yeah. I know.

(Colton): * ...to change your mind *

* And if you want this world to see a better day *

* Will you carry the words of love with you *

* Will you ride the great white bird in together *

* You want it to last forever *

* You know it never will *

* You know it never will *

* And the goodbye makes the journey harder still **

(crickets chirping) - It's a pity that Vic

couldn't join us. Has he left town already?

- We didn't exactly end on good terms.

- What happened? - He's incapable of thinking

of anyone but himself, and I'm better off

without him in my life.

(soft music)

(gasps)

Uh, that's a nice bottle of Pinot there, Del.

What's the occasion?

- Well, I was thinking that we could

all use some good news.

At least I hope you think it's good news...

I've been seeing Sam for quite a while now.

- So how long have you two been sneaking around

in the clubhouse? (scoffs jokingly)

- I think what she means to say is that we're all

very happy for you, Del.

- Yeah, Sam is wonderful.

And in the spirit of Mom's announcement,

Elliot and I have one, too.

I'm moving in with him.

- Right now?

- Uh, I guess it's a little fast,

but given our history and all...

- Well, it's Alice's senior year.

She needs her mother. - I will literally be next door.

I mean, she's doing great.

And Alice gave us her blessing. Right, honey?

- Yeah. I'm really happy for all of you,

but I think I kinda just need to be alone right now.

Today was sort of a lot.

(footsteps receding)

- Does that seem like a teenager that's doing great?

- Nice night for a porch beer?

- Was just thinking the same thing.

- Well, thanks for ruining dinner.

- You are the one turning this into a fight.

- I just don't see how you can abandon your daughter right now.

And what about Jacob?

You are rushing into this

without thinking about the rest of your family.

(Kat): In case you haven't noticed,

there's not enough room-- - That went differently

than expected. - Mmm. I

've never seen them like that.

- Oh, the fighting?

Used to happen a lot before you came home.

I don't get this, though.

I thought Del would be,

I don't know, excited for us?

- Well, as man of the house,

the only approval you should be seeking is mine.

Where I come from,

there are certain... (clears throat)

...expectations if you were to ask for my sister's hand.

(laughs)

I'm sorry, just a little bit of time travel humour, there.

You should've seen your face.

Well, you certainly don't need my blessing.

Though you have it, if you do ever ask.

- It's not like the thought hasn't crossed my mind.

(chuckles)

(footsteps approaching)

- Hey. You okay, kiddo? - Yeah. Um...

I just can't get little Victor's face out of my head.

It's hard to reconcile that broken boy

with the man that Elliot was talking about.

- Hm. Yeah, it's tough.

You and I both know firsthand how tragedy can change someone.

- Yeah. Then there's Evelyn. Mom, I feel so bad for her.

She was in love with Colton.

- She told you that?

- Yeah. And I felt like such a traitor.

It's not like I can tell her that I'm proof

that he doesn't love her back. Because I'm his granddaughter

with the girl she hates. (sighs)

- I'm just having a hard enough time

trying to wrap my mind around the fact that

Dad and Evelyn were childhood friends.

- Yeah. They were really close.

Wait, I forgot something about the night at The Cove.

Colton gave these to Evelyn as a set.

She gave one back to him to hold on to,

but she kept the other one.

- So they're meant to go together?

(mysterious music)

(gasps softly)

- Okay. Look.

To Evie, no curse is on you if you stay.

The water did save us, I believe in it now.

There is magic at home. - Come back to me

and to the pond.

Love, Cole.

He wrote this to Evelyn, but she never read it.

- So they both knew about the pond.

Were they... Were they time travelers too?

(Alice): I'm sorry about last night.

I should have stood up for you and Mom.

- You've got enough going on.

It's hard to imagine you back in '74.

Mourning an uncle I never even met.

- You would've loved him.

He had this life of the party energy

that was just infectious.

But he was also really kind.

He cared about his friends.

He was something. - Kinda wish he'd rubbed off

on my dad a little more.

- I don't wanna defend anything that your dad has done,

but he was there when it happened, Elliot.

He watched someone he loved die.

You don't just come back from that.

Seeing Victor, this little heartbroken kid

in his big brother's hockey jersey,

it made me wonder if the pond

wanted me to help you and your dad somehow.

- My relationship with my dad is well beyond...

(inhales)

...fixing.

I'd much rather look forward to the life I'm building

with my chosen family.

(door shuts)

- Hey. The truck's all packed, ready to go.

To the farmer's market. I figured I would...

come by and help out.

- Well, I would love to have you there

if you're sure you're ready. - In the spirit of living life

in the present, I figure it's time to start

venturing out into the world. So, shall we?

- Okay. Let's go as a family.

(light music)

(indistinct chatter)

- Doesn't it bother you?

- Oh, they're going to stare no matter what.

Might as well get it over with.

- Well, they could be staring at this mound of produce.

- Morning!

Oh, Jacob.

Oh my gosh, Jacob, it is such a treat

to see you out and about.

And Alice! Welcome home.

And Kat, I just loved your editorial this week.

- Oh, thank you. - Hi, Rita.

(chuckles awkwardly)

Looks like you've been working hard.

Your signs are beautiful.

- So not exactly subtle,

but you've been icing her out for a long time, Mom.

- Are you here to support Jacob or chastise me?

- Hey, Ali. Want to do a coffee run with me?

So, any plans after the farmer's market?

Maybe a jump to '74?

- Uh, Mom, I know you want answers, and I do too,

but honestly I think I need another day or two to process

my last trip. - Oh, of course.

I'm sorry. You just take all the time you need.

- What does Noah think he's doing selling coffee?

- Oh, I forgot to mention.

Monica's had some real competition this summer.

Why don't you just go over there and catch up with him?

I mean, clearly, he needs help.

- Well, what about all of us supporting Jacob?

- You know, honestly? I don't think

he needs us hovering. - Well, what are you gonna do?

- The pond took me to '74 once,

so maybe I just try another jump myself.

- 'Kay. Be safe, though, okay? - Mm-hmm.

- And don't get caught spying on any more teenagers.

- Yeah.

- Coffee and fish. The combo I never knew I wanted.

- Alice. Hey.

Uh, you're back in town.

Yeah, fish and chips by night, coffee and fritters by day.

It's what I call maximizing revenue streams.

- Yeah, you look a little short-staffed.

- Oh no, just my barista, she called in sick.

But I think I've got it almost under control.

- Okay, well, I was going to offer my services,

but if you're alright then-- - Uh, actually, I'm lying.

This is totally a disaster. Please, help?

Hey, what's going on, boss?

- Hi. How much for this one?

- Well, I put a lot of love into my art.

I don't sell to strangers.

- And I know that I have been an absent friend.

- Is that what you call completely

cutting me out of your life?

- I've been so stressed out over the media frenzy

with Jacob coming home, and I know you mean well,

but you ask too many questions.

- Del Landry, is that your sorry excuse for an apology?

- I've had to look at your passive aggressive signs

all summer. Can we just make amends?

- Okay, okay.

That sign's 150.

- Rita Richards, that is too much for a piece of driftwood.

- It is reclaimed wood from a 200-year-old sunken ship.

- Oh. (both laugh)

- I gotta get that summer folk money somehow, right?

- Rita... (chuckles)

I miss you. - Oh, I missed you so much.

What's going on with you and Sam?

Don't tell me you let all your relationships

fall to the wayside.

- Come over for a glass of wine. I'll tell you everything.

- Okay.

(indistinct chatter)

- I can't believe how good you got at that.

You know, considering how bad you were last summer.

- That how you're gonna talk to the girl who's saving

your butt? - Yeah, why are you helping me?

After how we left things, I kinda figured

you'd want nothing to do with me.

- Well, Wally's has the best fries and mustard in town, so...

- Well, you'll have to wait 'til after 5:00.

Can't mix fritter fat with fry fat.

- If I am still here by then,

I will be expecting my cut of the tips.

- Don't go back to The Point.

Come work for me instead. - You mean your grandfather?

- No. He retired, actually. He handed me the business.

You know, I'm in the process of getting a second truck.

Big things are happening here, man.

- Well, congrats on your empire,

but I am loyal to Monica. Plus, The Point has AC.

(banging on truck)

- Any chance you could take a break from flirting

and make my coffee?

- Yes. Sorry, ma'am.

Coming right up.

(giggles)

(Victor): This used to be a working man's town.

Now I can't even get a cab to the airport

'cause everyone's too busy catering to the stuck-up

summer folk!

Well, speaking of summer folk.

If it isn't Ms. North Carolina herself.

- You looked like you could use some sustenance.

- Delilah Landry, still thinking food

can fix everything.

Well thanks, but I don't need any more

of your family's pity.

Or your dry biscuits.

- Does Elliot know you're still here?

- Oh, he's too busy shacking up with your daughter to care.

That ingrate finally got what he always wanted:

to join the high-and-mighty Landry family.

- Okay. I'm done being polite.

Leave my family alone.

You ruined my chance to make amends with my daughter

all those years ago, and you have failed

over and over again to be the father

that Elliot deserves. But despite that,

he has turned into one of the finest young men

that I have ever known.

If you ever say a disparaging word against him,

you'll be sorry.

Keep my dry biscuits!

- Crazy!

- Oh. I'm sorry you saw that.

- I'm not. That was amazing.

Hey, Del.

Thank you.

For what you said. - Of course, sweetheart.

(indistinct chatter)

(woman): He was gone 24 years.

- Hey, Danny, wait up.

- Jake. Hi.

- Hi. Nice to see you.

- Yeah. Um...

I wanted to come visit,

but I wasn't sure if you'd be up for it.

- Don't worry about it.

So, what have you been up to all these years?

Still collect Pokémon cards?

(chuckles)

(eerie giggles)

- Hello?

(eerie giggles)

Who are you?

(eerie giggles)

- Boo.

- He did great. And he chose to stay out with Danny,

which is huge. - I appreciate your help,

but I can't say the same for your mother.

- She had to go see--

- Oh, please. She ran off to that damn pond.

Why today? What's so urgent?

- It's probably easier if I just show you.

(sing-songy): ...25, first arrive.

25, never tried.

65, thought they died.

65, still alive...

- Ma'am, are you lost? Do you live around here?

(woman continues singing)

My name is Kat,

can I help you in any way?

- Don't tease.

I know my way home, Kitty Kat.

(woman giggles)

- Uh, it's actually... it's Kat.

- ...they died, 65, still alive.

(Kat): So this is home?

Any chance you're related to Colton Landry?

- You know my grandson?

- Your grandson? That makes you Fern Landry.

- Oh, Kitty, you really are such a card.

Come now. Join me for tea.

(Fern singing)

- I would love to.

- This place has a real timeless charm to it.

Feels like I'm back in Port Haven's early days.

- I hear you're really turning

Landry Farm into something, Jake.

- Yeah, it's been nice to get back to my roots.

Still can't get over how much easier it is

farming with a tractor. (chuckles)

- Right...

You didn't use any modern machinery,

I heard, in your...? - Mmm.

My other life.

No, it was a different world.

- Kind of like the Amish or something?

- Yeah. Yeah, something like that.

Anyway, what about you?

- Honestly, I'm surprised you even want to talk to me.

- Why wouldn't I? I mean, we were best friends.

- How much of that night do you remember, Jake?

(soft music)

I always blamed myself.

If I hadn't thrown your stuffed dog over the edge,

if I hadn't dared you to go down after it...

When I heard that you were alive, that you came home...

I hoped there were some other explanation.

One that wasn't all my fault...

But there isn't.

- Danny, you need to know that you had nothing to do

with any of this. Really, I made the choice that night.

You didn't push me into the water.

And look, I'm... I'm alive.

I'm okay.

(soft music)

How about another round? Hmm?

(chuckles nervously)

- Is, um, no one else home?

How about I make some tea? - Hm.

There are lemon madeleines in the blue tin.

My favourite.

- These are just like Grandma used to make.

Um, did your daughter-in-law make these?

- Oh, such a good girl, that one.

She raised two boys.

She kept this farm going all on her own.

When we lost my son...

* Beautiful dreamer *

* Wake unto me *

* The starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee *

Come on, Kitty. You know the words.

- I think this one's a little before my time, Fern.

- I see what this looks like.

But of course, Cole loved Evelyn.

They were best friends. - What about the pond, though?

- I was married to the man for 25 years.

If he knew about the pond, he would've told me.

"No curse is on you."

Cole's grandmother used to talk about the pond.

That it was magical, but also a curse.

Grandma Fern used to tell the most outlandish stories.

But that's what I always thought they were, stories.

A sweet old lady whose mind had gone.

At least, that's what Cole used to always say.

- So nice to see someone using the pond again.

- Um, are you saying that there's others?

(soft giggles)

Does Colton use the pond, Fern?

- I feared that he was the one.

If not his father or his brother, then him.

But I was wrong.

(eerie music)

- What do you mean by the one?

- If you want the right answers,

you must ask the right questions.

And now, it's time for my nap, Kitty Kat.

(giggles eerily)

(birds chirping)

- I can't stop thinking about the unfairness of it all.

He barely got to experience life.

- Can't think of a worse way to go.

- Well...

at least he didn't die alone.

There's nothing more tragic than that.

Alice said that she saw you here the other day.

After Rick's funeral.

In the pond.

You know that you can tell me anything, right?

And I can tell you anything, too?

Because there's something that I've really--

- What if you did something really awful?

Would you still tell me? - Of course.

What is it?

(twig snaps)

- Did you hear that? - It's probably just

Grandma Fern wandering. Who else would it be?

- Better go find her and bring her home

before my mom reams me out.

- 65, thought they'd die.

65, still alive.

- You're not gonna go in...?

- Without you? Never.

Come on.

- I should call it a night.

I've got an early morning at Lingermore.

- Wait, wait, you're working there?

- Yeah, I'm doing the landscaping

for Lewis Goodwin's new winery.

- No, you can't work for the Goodwins, they're snakes.

- I heard there was some bad blood over the book

Kat put out, but he seems like a decent enough guy.

- No, trust me. He is as vile

as all of the other Goodwins, living or dead. Barmaid!

We're gonna need something a bit stronger

than this watered-down swill.

- Yeah, I'll get right on that.

- Is that from a play or something?

(snaps fingers) - Yes.

- I see Alice looped you in.

- Look, I, uh,

understand your erratic behaviour last year

because you were looking for your brother,

but that's done. You brought Jacob home.

So why are you so compelled to keep jumping?

- Because we deserve to know the truth.

- Just because you can time travel,

doesn't mean you're entitled to stick your nose

in every little thing. - How come you and Dad

never talked about Evelyn?

That she's how you met?

And she's the whole reason that you came to Port Haven?

- Okay. Enough, Katherine.

I'm asking you, please,

to stop running off to that damn pond and choose us.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

I'll be right there.

- Where are you off to now?

- I may live under your roof for now,

but I'm an adult.

And I do not need your permission to leave this house.

(door opens)

(door shuts)

(Del sighs)

- They got me on standby for a flight tomorrow morning,

so don't worry, I'll be out of your hair soon.

- I cleared a bunch of your old stuff out of the attic

when I first moved back, but I...

figured you'd wanna hang onto this.

I always assumed it was yours.

It was Rick's, wasn't it?

How come you never talked about him?

- What's the point? He's been gone a hell of a lot

longer than he was alive. - Must've been awful,

losing your brother like that.

In an accident you were lucky to walk away from.

- Spent my entire life in his shadow.

Rick and Vic. (chuckles)

You could never escape the comparisons.

- What were your parents thinking?

- Rick was the golden boy.

I was the lesser sequel.

After he died, it got worse.

My parents made it pretty clear they wished it had been

the other way around.

It probably should have.

- What do you mean?

- The night we crashed...

I was bugging Rick, being a pain.

You know, like always.

He turned around to sock me one.

He lost control on a bend.

(clears throat)

Anyway. The past is the past. (clears throat)

What does any of that matter now, anyway?

- I think it matters.

Trauma comes out in really toxic ways.

(scoffs) - Thank you, Dr. Phil.

Guess maybe if I'd had a shrink back then,

then I wouldn't have turned out to be such a terrible father.

Look...

there's a lot that I didn't do right.

I know that.

But it's a little too late to fix it now, so...

- Maybe it's not too late.

(Vic sighs)

- You know, that ring we're fighting over

was supposed to go to Rick, not me.

So really, it should be on the hand

of some supermodel hockey wife.

- Are you really getting married, Dad?

Or do you just need money?

- I swear, I am. To a good lady, too.

- Take the ring, then.

It was yours first.

(soft music)

- It was your mother's last.

I know that means something to you.

So you keep it.

You should be the one to carry on the family legacy.

- Okay, nice and slow.

(Jacob chuckling) Shh.

Okay, I appreciate you venturing out

beyond the property line, but being dragged out of a bar

before sundown is not a good look, buddy.

- Back in my time, we rise early!

- Shh. - We drink early!

We take to our beds early!

Huh? Candle wax is too precious to waste.

Or, I mean, it was.

- Oh... okay. No, no, no, it's okay.

I'll get it. I'll get it. You're gonna cut yourself.

- I can do this, Kat. I'm not a child.

- I know.

Hey.

Are you alright?

- Everyone is just moving on with their lives

and I'm stuck.

I'm trying to be normal, but how can I be

when my entire life is a lie?

- How about we talk about this in the morning?

Okay? I'll clean all this up, don't worry about it.

- Mm-hmm. Okay. - Yep, let's go.

There we go, big guy.

You know, this is the kind of stuff we missed out on.

You know, big sis sneaking drunk little brother

past Mom. (giggles)

- Making up for lost time. That's what we're doing.

- Hey.

I got your text. What are you doing here?

- Wanted to thank you again for saving my butt.

Your share of the tips from today.

- You know there are apps for that, right?

- I'm really sorry we lost touch. Um...

I know things got a little weird between us last year,

and most of that was my fault.

Then, you know, your uncle and all your family stuff.

- Yeah. And then my life just got way weirder.

And then you were away.

- Yep. And then I came back from my business course,

and then you were gone for the summer.

(soft music)

I never stopped thinking about you, Alice.

And I was hoping you might be crazy enough

to give me another chance.

- Noah...

(chuckles nervously) Uh...

I don't know. I'm...

I just, I really have to focus at school this year.

And I have all these big plans,

and I just can't really be distracted--

- It's cool.

- I don't want the magic to pass me by, either.

- I keep seeing Kat and Elliot around town

looking all loved up.

- They're moving in together.

- Okay, so...? You love Elliot.

- It's just a lot of change ever since Jacob came home.

Mostly for the best, don't get me wrong.

It's just that Kat and Alice have been my constants

in the storm, and now it feels like

it's a matter of time before they all leave again.

- It's normal for chicks to fly the coop.

But they come back.

- To old friends and good wine.

- Hey, let me write that down. I could put that on a sign!

(both giggle)

- Oh, Rita.

(Elliot): Morning, Dad.

Hello?

Dad?

(mysterious music)

- Great Grandma Fern said to ask the right questions.

But I don't even know where to start with this.

- Well, you also said she's a bit senile,

so maybe you shouldn't take her so literally.

- 65, thought they died. 65, still alive.

- Wait, what?

- It's one of the things that she kept saying.

I don't know if it's like, a poem or song lyrics,

but absolutely nothing pops up if you Google it.

- What about a year? 1965?

Who do we know that lived here during the sixties?

- Evelyn! Do you remember that whole mess of stuff

that she donated to the archives?

Casey catalogued it all last summer,

but I just never had time to get to it. So, let's see...

Uh, no way it's that easy, right?

Of course not. (sighs)

- Wait.

Could this have something to do with

what Fern was talking about?
