The Way Home (2023) s03e02 Episode Script

1
Previously on The Way Home.
- Mom?
- Where have you been, Jacob?
The pond isn't just a pond.
Evelyn Goodwin
was the oldest member
of this town's
most prestigious family.
The more time that passes,
the safer I feel just staying
home with the memories.
You'll never escape
this place.
You'll see.
I do hope
you're having fun now,
'cause I am.
I would like to ask Kat
to move in with me.
[GASPS]
Believe in magic,
come to the pond.
I think Dad knew something
about the pond.
That's Alice.
Singing with your dad
on a song he recorded
in the 1970s.
Someone else
is time-travelling.
[SCREAMING]
One part water,
baking soda and lemon juice.
It's all a spy needs.
Watch.
You know, I used to do this
when I was your age
with my friends.
But how do we read it?
Well, flame.
Which we're not going to do,
so don't get too excited.
Or acid.
YOUNG JACOB: Hey!
Then Come here.
Point of all this, bud,
is to never forget.
Messages can be anywhere.
You just have to look
hard enough for them.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
- KAT: So, what do you think?
- This ink.
I remember this, Dad taught me.
This note,
Dad definitely wrote it.
I gotta find Alice,
and then we're all going to talk
about this together.
Do you think it was her
on the record?
It has to be.
I've just got to tell her.
And of course
I don't have my phone.
Um, okay, I'm going
to go find it.
And then we are going
to figure this out.
I promise.
El, are you here?
Oh, there it is.
- Hey?
- Hey.
Alice isn't home. Did she say
anything before she left?
- What do you mean?
- She left a message.
You didn't hear my phone ring?
Where were you?
- I've been here.
- Wait.
ALICE: I found something.
There's someone other than us
who is using the pond.
Someone else is time-travelling,
and I saw them
in the field and
[SCREAMING]
[SPLASHING]
[GASPS]
[PANTING]
[WOMAN LAUGHING]
[WOMAN LAUGHING]
Wait!
Who are you?
You pushed me!
EL: Kat, wait!
Let's talk about this!
Alice just got sucked
somewhere in time, Elliot,
- I've got to find her.
- You don't even know
where you'll wind up.
Look, let me go with you.
- We'll do it together.
- No.
- Just stay.
- Why?
Because I don't want
to have to take care of you
on top of everything else.
[BREATHE IN]
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
[SIGHING]
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
[GUITAR STRUMMING]
Vic Augustine,
I told you, man,
that guitar's for Colton.
Gimme that, here, gimme
C'mon, Vic, c'mon, man.
Come on. Give it to me.
It's for Colton.
[SOFT MUSIC]
I have something
I need to tell you.
- Uh-oh.
- No, it's good.
I made a promise tonight
to Jacob
that I would treat him
like an adult
and try to give him
more freedom.
Well, that's an important
first step.
[CHUCKLING]
And maybe a good second step
would be to allow us
some more freedom.
Mm?
I've been having an amazing time
these last six months, Del,
I really have.
Aren't you getting
a little sick and tired
of all the sneaking around,
the lying?
- I'm tired of lying.
- Yeah.
Well, Kat's book release
party is tomorrow.
Here's the thing, Del.
I want to be at that party,
to support her.
Not just as her lawyer,
but as her friend.
And I would like to be able
to do the same for you.
To support you,
to stand by your side.
Publicly.
Because I love you.
Oh, Sam,
that is so nice.
- [CHUCKLE]
- [CHUCKLE]
- No, I'm sorry, it's just
- No, it's okay.
Can we just take it
a day at a time
- for a little longer?
- Of course.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Of course.
[GUITAR STUMMING]
It's not even in tune anymore.
I was just looking at it,
I swear.
- Well
- Hey!
Hey, I see you spying on us!
Uh, sorry, I'm not
spying, I just
Definitely trespassing.
- That's Landry Land, you know?
- Uh. Yeah, I do.
- Are you Vic Augustine?
- What's it to you?
Alright, that's enough
of the third degree, Vic.
I don't think a pretty girl
in our yard's
anything to be mad about.
Sorry, I'm Rick Augustine.
I'm the older
and much friendlier brother
- to this nimrod here.
- Alice, hi.
Did you say that's
a gift for someone?
So you were spying?
Yeah, it's for my best bud
Cole Landry.
He scored a gig singing
at a spot in town
for the summer, so a friend and
I chipped in and bought him this.
- Yeah, I bet you chipped in.
- So are you summer folk?
Yeah, yeah,
'cause it's summer here.
Summer of '74 baby, yeah,
it's gonna be slammin'.
But I'm late meeting Cole
with his out-of-tune present.
Uh, I can come if you want.
I can tune it en route,
I know that guitar type.
Groovy.
Yeah, you got yourself a deal.
Wait, I wanna go too, Rick.
Sorry, bud, only two people
allowed, my gear's in the back.
Plus, seatbelt limits.
Since when do you care
about seatbelts?
What's that?
I can't hear you. See ya, bud.
[CAR STARTING]
You're no brother of mine!
Alice!
- You hear me, Rick Augustine?
- Wait!
- You're a chump!
- Wait a minute.
Did you just say "brother"?
Are you Victor Augustine?
Why's everyone asking me
that today?
Okay, your brother,
he just left with a girl.
- Yeah, new summer folk chick.
- Where did he take her?
- Town.
- Okay.
Okay, kid, I'm gonna need
your bike.
No way, lady, that's mine!
If you wanna get to town,
you got two feet. Use 'em!
Victor Augustine.
Yeah, that tracks.
So what, we just wait?
To think of them, out there
somewhere in time, right now.
How did you do it, Elliot,
all those years?
I guess you realize
once they're in that pond,
there's not much
you can control.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
We should all try
to get some sleep.
There he is.
Surprise, son.
[RYTHMIC MUSIC]
Hope Cole isn't here yet.
[RYTHMIC MUSIC]
(indistinct chatter)
Evie.
Oh!
[GASPS] You got it!
It's beautiful, Rick.
Oh.
Did she come with the guitar?
No, I found her
in the field, actually.
Alice, meet the third wheel
of our friendship tricycle,
Evelyn Goodwin.
Evelyn, hi.
Uh, nice to meet you.
She's into tarot!
The Queen of Cups.
She carries her emotions
in a glass
and her heart on her sleeve.
But when that Queen
is upside down,
her cup will spill.
Drowning you with her thirst
for love and attention.
[LAUGHTER]
Finally, someone in this town
that has the same interests
as me!
Yeah, that's just
what we need.
I know things.
I can see the signs, Alice.
And this one is a clear one.
We're gonna be friends!
- [HONKING]
- Hey, do you need a lift?
No, thanks.
Just keep on moving.
- Are you sure?
- Haven't you heard
of not accepting rides
from strangers?
Hitchhiking's what you do
around here.
How else you going to get into
town without your own wheels?
Look, buddy, I
Coyle's.
Um, is that place open?
Like, now?
- Have you heard of it?
- Know it? I own it!
Name's Jasper.
I think I will take
that ride after all, Jasper.
Cool beans, hop in.
Visiting for the summer?
Um, yes, with my daughter
actually.
- I'm trying to track her down.
- Oh. How old?
- 17. Thinks she's older.
- You got a teen?
Chances are she's at Coyle's.
- Hop in.
- Okay.
[RYTHMIC MUSIC]
Cameras caught her robbing
a bank with the SLA.
Could you die?
Patty Hearst is obviously
being brainwashed.
I mean, it's too far out!
Colton.
Well, well, well.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Sir Lancelot has made
his dramatic entrance.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Wait here.
It's a surprise, remember?
Yeah It is.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
But it's still you.
Wow. Look at the place.
Why didn't you tell me
about this?
- I don't know, I
- Relax.
I like what you've done.
- Why are you here, Dad?
- For the book party.
A pal of mine clued me in,
us Augustines are going
to be back in the spotlight,
so I had to bask in it.
And you thought it'd be okay
to just fly in all the way
from Mexico with zero warning?
Hey, I tried calling,
didn't I?
And I am wiped,
so we'll catch up
in the morning.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
And drum roll, please!
- Surprise!
- You serious?
Rick and I thought
that Coyle's star performer
- deserved to look the part.
- What?!
- Come on.
- No!
You deserve it.
You're so good.
It's incredible.
Thank you guys.
It's too much.
No, man. You deserve it.
Look at it, J,
it's aces, right?
Yeah, just needs one thing
to be perfect.
- [CHUCKLING]
- A star is born, I can feel it.
Getting paid
to sing's enough, honest.
I mean, listen,
it's even pitch perfect, what?!
You can thank Alice for that.
She tuned it in my car,
on a bumpy road.
Wow. You got skills, Alice.
Uh, hi. Yeah, thanks.
So are you in town
for the summer?
You should come
to our shindig at the cove.
- It's our big summer kickoff.
- You do that too?
Uh. Parties, I mean.
I know we're a small town,
but yeah, we dabble.
- How about it, you in?
- She is.
- I shall escort her.
- See you tonight.
So
Which one do you
have your eyes on?
What?
Uh, definitely not Colton.
Oh. So Rick, then?
- Oh, no, isn't he yours?
- Grody!
No, he's like a brother to me.
But you should act fast.
He's going away for the summer.
Playing Junior A Hockey.
It's a huge deal.
Also, I'm leaving too.
My friends from my old
boarding school
are renting a villa in the most
magical place ever, Morocco!
Wait. Just friends,
no parents?
Mom and Dad want me
to play host
to their summer guests
up at Lingermore.
That's my house, more like jail.
But I'm making my great escape.
Because summer is for freedom,
and magic, and fairytales!
Yeah, I guess it should be.
No, it must be, Alice!
Don't give up on magic.
The book of your summer is only
starting to be written.
Let's go.
On our way, I'll have to play you
this song that I just discovered.
This chick, Stevie Nicks,
she sings about crystals
with her boyfriend.
- She's revelatory.
- Be right there,
- I just Bathroom break.
- Okay.
Mom, what are you doing here?
What am I, what are you
doing here, Ali?
You're just hanging out,
while the rest of us
are losing our minds back home?
- What is going on?
- I got pushed in the pond.
But I'm here now,
and it's amazing.
- Who pushed you?
- I don't know, I lost them.
But someone knows
about the pond.
Yeah, or someone attacked you.
Let's go.
No, Mom, there's a party.
You cannot be serious.
Please? Please.
- Did you see Colton?
- Yes.
And he was perfect.
And he's my age here,
I just want to be near him
a little more.
- Evelyn's waiting outside.
- Sorry, Evelyn?
- As in Goodwin?
- Yeah.
And she's this really sweet,
magical person here.
Summer is for fairytales,
and I'm realizing
that I haven't had mine yet.
I really want this one.
Before it's September,
and school,
and I turn into
this serious pumpkin.
[SIGHS]
Okay.
Stay.
Just get home safe, okay?
Please?
Love you!
[DOOR BELLS JINGLE]
Kat said you had a prime spot.
I'm sorry
that I couldn't come sooner.
I miss you.
And I'm so lost here
without you.
How do I find my footing
when you were my foundation?
[SOFT MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
Hi.
What are you doing?
This won't do.
Our founders deserve
better than this.
Elijah and Rebecca Landry.
Their lives were tough
back then, you know?
But Elijah was strong.
- And so smart.
- And how do you know that?
Family lore.
Grandma told me,
now I'm telling you.
So we never forget.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Jacob Landry.
Dead in both eras.
You seem to know Colton well.
Yeah, I feel pretty paternal
towards the boy.
Lost his dad so young.
- His older brother took off.
- Yeah, I know.
I heard that around town.
He's got talent.
A real voice.
- I'm determined to see him use it.
- At Coyle's?
Why that name?
Because it's my family's.
You're a Coyle?
That's why I moved up here
from the States.
Well, that and draft dodging
this never-ending Vietnam War.
Wow. That's very open
of you to say.
Well, I believe
what I believe.
When I defected,
I started looking for places
up here I had a connection to.
Turns out, my ancestor
once roamed these parts.
- A notorious rum runner.
- Thomas Coyle.
Well, aren't you
full of surprises?
I know my Port Haven history.
Very well.
I worked in the Town Hall
when I landed,
started hearing stories
of this place, and fell in love.
Plus, any place that's good
enough for my ancestors
is good enough for me.
So your ancestor, uh,
wound up in the States,
- where you're from?
- Yeah. New York.
- We're a big lot, too.
- It's a happy family.
Good.
Good
You alright?
Actually, yeah.
I'm I'm good.
I'm glad you found
your happy ending here.
And that Thomas found his, too.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
[SOFT MUSIC]
You're not the only
family member
I'm feeling protective of.
I wonder if I should
go in after them.
The solution isn't more
Landrys in the pond.
I'd prefer far less,
if it were up to me.
But none of it is.
Mom, I really miss my father.
I know, honey.
We all do.
Not that father, my father.
Elijah.
You hate the pond, but I can't.
It gave me a family that I love.
The pond took
your childhood from me
and gave it to someone else.
And I feel guilty
for missing that life
when I have this one
here with you,
but it's a gift
that I'm not worthy of.
Oh honey,
you deserve to be here.
I don't!
[SIGHING]
I wasn't a good person in 1814.
I stole, yes, from people
who deserved it,
but I did bad things.
Things I can't take back.
I put my family at risk.
I should've been arrested.
I very nearly was.
- What are you talking about?
- The truth.
The truth is that I didn't
choose to come home to you.
Mom, I had to.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SIGHING]
Shouldn't we talk about this?
You were a good, sweet boy.
You knew right from wrong.
And you loved us fiercely.
But now I, I'm trying
to protect someone
that I don't know.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Who would you have been
if I'd been able to keep you?
And they dance
by the light of the moon.
The moon, the moon!
The Owl and the Pussycat?
One of my top three favourite
love stories.
Read it.
- Hey, she made it!
- Hey!
The girl with the perfect pitch,
let me grab you a drink.
I didn't realize
how close they were.
- Are.
- Oh yeah, it's more than that.
They've had their own language
since childhood, so
They might not see it yet,
but we all know
they'll end up together.
Wait, what?
You do, really?
Look, sorry.
If you were into Cole
No, no. Why does
everyone keep thinking that?
Well, I'll happily
stop thinking it.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Cole!
Put that new guitar your sugar
mama got you to use, my man!
- Play!
- It was a gift
from me and Rick, okay? Guys!
Come on, play!
Alright, alright stop.
I'll play.

EL: Morning.
Brought you coffee.
Oh, I don't do coffee anymore.
But I made us
a healthy breakfast.
Come, sit.
Couldn't help but notice that.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Uh, yeah
Kat and I are together.
About nine months now.
Fantastic.
I always liked Kat.
Okay, Dad.
What are you really doing here?
Alright, time to come clean.
I met someone.
- We're getting married.
- What?
- Who is she?
- A miracle worker, that's who!
Laura has changed
my outlook on everything.
For the first time in years,
I'm happy.
It's like how it was
with your mom before
Point is, Laura has changed me.
For the better.
And I want you to be
the best man at our wedding.
I need you standing up
there with me, son.
That's why I came back,
to ask in person.
I don't know what to say.
How about "congratulations"?
And that you'll think about it?
Okay.
I know the guitar was all you.
You better be thinking
about me
when you bring down
the house at Coyle's!
Well, I've got
a goodbye present, too.
Uh
I know you loved these stories
when we were little, Evie.
And I want you to promise
to remember being a kid
as you read it, okay?
- What are you doing?
- What if you keep one
and I keep one?
Like, best friend bracelets
- extended across the ocean.
- No, you need the two of them.
Cole, just come with me
to Morocco.
I already said
I'd pay for your ticket.
You know I can't.
I have the farm, Mom
Plus, I don't know,
Jasper thinks this gig at Coyle's
could really get me somewhere.
Dream bigger
than Port Haven, for once.
We love adventures.
Let's find one.
What if we already did?
What if that adventure was here?
Magic What if it could
happen here, at home?
What are you saying, Cole?
I wasn't going to tell you
because you were leaving,
but maybe I just
I don't know
what it all means, but
[SOFT MUSIC]
My dad said she wasn't
coming till tomorrow.
I see my summer house
guest has found me.
Everyone,
this is Delilah Watson.
[OVERLAPING GREETINGS]
DEL: Victor.
What are you doing here?
Visiting.
It's a fun surprise.
Dad, would you like
some refreshments?
[SIGHING] [CLEARING THROAT]
Any sign of them?
No, why aren't they
back by now?
El, we need to get
this party started,
because she needs to be
wrapped up by the lunch rush,
so could you step in there
and start Kat's speech for her?
Well, I'd be more than happy
to say a few words
on behalf of the family.
No! No, thank you, Dad.
Let me handle this.
Ah, thank you.
[DOOR BELLS JINGLE]
EVELYN: How do you know Delilah?
ALICE: Dad does business
with her dad.
Which means that we're required
to go on a bunch
of family trips together.
This year, for some reason,
Delilah came to us alone.
I've known her forever.
She's an ice-cold
fun killer, believe me.
Bud, you're staring.
How about just going over
and testing the waters?
The longer I sit here,
the longer I get to hope.
Yikes!
Man, I hope your opening line's
better than that one.
Tell you what. Go over there,
give her the old Landry charm.
And if that doesn't work,
that's what
the guitar's for, you know?
Carpe Diem.
Yeah.
Go get 'er, tiger!
Uh Hi.
Beer?
You're right, it is.
[CHUCKLING]
That's funny.
You're funny. Uh
No, I meant, would,
would you like one?
No.
Okay, then, uh
Don't say I never
offered you anything.
I can't.
I don't know your name.
Uh, Colton.
Landry.
You're Delilah Watson,
from North Carolina.
Evelyn's a friend.
She said you're staying
at Lingermore this summer?
I'm surprised.
I didn't even think
she knew I'd arrived.
Otherwise, she would've
invited me to this party.
She didn't?
- I'm sure that was a mistake.
- It wasn't.
Well, I'd invite you anywhere.
[CHUCKLING]
I should warn you, Colton.
I get a lot of invites
from a lot of boys back home.
Why should I accept yours?
Because I'm not like
your boys back home.
Maybe we'll take that beer.
- [BOTTLES CLINK]
- Cheers.
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]
What?
Not a disco fan?
Well, I'm a musician, so no.
There's just no substance
to this disco stuff.
You know,
there's no heart, or soul.
You're not going to cry
your eyes out to it,
it's just fluff.
It's not music.
I mean, unless you're tone deaf
or something.
So you're that guy.
Yeah, the guy
who understands quality.
The kind of guy
who hates something
just 'cause everyone else
loves it.
Well, guess what, Colton?
I adore disco,
and I'm a whole lot like it,
I'm fun and very popular.
So by that logic
- Wait, I didn't
- Sorry, I can't hear you.
You know, because
of the tone deafness!
Hey, I just
got this guitar, what if
- [SIGHING]
- Strike!
- You're out!
- Vic!
What the heck, kid.
You're supposed to be home.
- C'mon, let me stay!
- Go on, get outta here!
I won't get
in the way, I promise!
Releasing this
under Susanna's name
it was a labour of love.
But I also know
that her version of history
raises questions
about the stories
that we've been told.
One of our founding fathers
was a bad guy,
who murdered and he stole,
and Susanna tried to tell
that truth,
but she was stifled.
A dear friend told me
that history
is told by the winners,
and I am so very proud
that Susanna
is that winner today.
- [APPLAUSE]
- And what if some of us here
think that things
just simply don't add up?
Excuse me?
I mean, most of the founding
of Port Haven
exalts Cyrus' contributions
to this town,
and yet, one rogue chapter
calls him a villain.
- Doesn't make sense.
- Look, I'm just trying
to make sure that Susanna's
voice is heard.
No, you're more
than just a mouthpiece.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
[PEOPLE GASPING]
Kat, please.
You were speaking.
I was actually just about to
ask my heckler if he had a name.
Lewis Goodwin.
Evelyn's son.
And while I may not
have been raised here,
Port Haven is close to my heart.
Which is why I'm going
to be opening Goodwin Vineyards
- here later this year.
- Wow, you still managed
to get that done
without our land, did you?
You know, it sounds
like you have something
against my family, Miss Landry.
Is that why this missing
chapter materialized?
The chapter is very real,
Mr. Goodwin.
This is my family,
Miss Landry.
- You're rewriting our history.
- What Susanna wrote was true.
Son, my quarrel
isn't with you.
No. No, but is with my family,
who you know nothing about.
Just as you know nothing
of the founders of Port Haven,
or the time that they were from,
or how evil Cyrus Goodwin
really was, no.
Susanna knew that story,
so you should listen to her,
and to me.
- What makes you such an expert?
- Because I lived it.
[INDISTINCT WISPERS]
Jake.
I I simply mean
that my father would share
these stories with me.
And I I apologize,
I got carried away.
I'm impressed.
Your knowledge of an era,
Jacob, it's a passion.
And being still
fairly new to town,
I'd like to hear more.
I find I learn when listening,
not talking.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[ROCK MUSIC]
It's crazy, man.
I just, I had this feeling
when I saw her,
like I was going to grow old
with her, or something.
Maybe you will, you know?
No one knows
what the future holds.
But for you, it's going
to be nothing but horseshoes.
You know? Hey, Evie!
You're always talking about
that manifesting stuff, right?
Teach Colton how to do it,
how to win Miss Delilah.
I don't know, life's
too short not to dream big.
I I have to go,
I've stayed too long.
What? No, Cole and I
will do another beer run,
and then maybe pick up
some late night eats?
Actually, no.
Just drop me at home.
What?
It's our farewell shindig.
Sorry, bud. Night's over.
Oh. Sir Lancelot
has deemed it so,
and we all live
under his rule, so.
Let's go, Alice.
[SIGHING]
Have a good summer, boys.
Evie, you two
can't walk home alone.
I don't need you
to be my hero, Cole.
I'm no hero, just your friend.
Yeah, I guess you are.
When did you all get so lame?
You know what?
I'm glad I'm not spending
my summer with you.
I can come too, Rick.
To get the grub,
I can be your co-pilot.
I can't shake you, can I?
You know what? Alright, yeah.
C'mon, twerp.
Thank you for what you did
for Jacob back there.
You stepped in
and made him comfortable.
- That was kind.
- It's nothing.
I was just impressed
that he showed up.
- That's progress, right?
- It is.
- Yeah.
- It is, and, hum,
I want
to do the same.
Let's make it official, Sam.
Right, uh Okay.
Oh, I thought
this would be good news.
It is good news, Del.
It's just
I'm leaving town.
It's because I didn't say
I love you, isn't it?
Oh God, Sam, I don't even know
why I didn't because I do.
It's just I get
so caught up in my head.
Del, the trip's been
booked for months.
I'm seeing my grandkids.
But did you just try
to tell me you loved me?
- Did I?
- I think you might've.
- Maybe I did.
- Maybe.
Well, I will take that maybe.
[LAUGHTER]
So are you here
with a bunch of family?
No, I'm just with my mom.
We're staying at a place
not too far from here,
- but I don't know for how long.
- Oh yeah?
So it's a quick trip, then.
Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
I'm just down here,
so thank you
for today and tonight.
It was really special.
The whole summer
will be, Alice.
Full of freedom and love.
And fairytale endings, right?
Yeah. For the lucky few.
Goodnight, Evelyn.
Goodbye, Colton.
Hey, you got talent, Alice.
Don't think I didn't hear you.
Maybe we can sing
together sometime.
Yeah, I bet we will.
Sometime.
(dramatic music)
I was proud of you today.
I know I've been overprotective,
but I'm protecting myself, too.
- From what?
- The truth.
That my little boy is here,
but gone.
I've had a hard time accepting
that you are an adult.
But watching you stand up
for Kat today,
I realized that
we may have lost time,
but we haven't lost you.
You're still that boy
that loves his family.
And that made my heart soar.
I swear,
I want to be here, Mom.
To be an adult here.
[SIGHING]
Well
In an effort to treat you
like one,
I I wanted to tell you
that I'm seeing Sam.
And I hope
you're okay with that.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Yes, of course!
I just wanted you
to be the first to know.
Oh and, I won't be making
your meals anymore,
because you are an adult
and you can do that
for yourself.
- Yes, ma'am!

[LITTLE JACOB'S LAUGH ECHOING]
[SOFT MUSIC]
KAT: Jacob's home,
the book's been published.
My missions are over, El.
And I don't know
what the next adventure will be,
- I mean, if I have one.
- You do.
I mean, you could.
With me, here.
Move in with me, Kat.
What?
Wait, wait, wait, are you serious?
I was going to ask you
last night,
but then the friggin' pond.
I'm sorry that I said that I
didn't want to take care of you.
Before I jumped in the pond,
I just, it's not what I meant.
- That's fine.
- All I want
is for you and I to take care
of each other. So
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- Yes, I will move in with you!
- [LAUGHING]
[DOOR OPENING]
And she's awake!
You slept for ages.
I crashed on the couch
'cause you didn't need me
tossing and turning.
Guess these won't be
our sleeping arrangements
for much longer, then?
And you're alright with that?
I mean, me moving in
with Elliot?
If you are even
the least bit unsure,
then it is off the table.
I'm good. Honest.
You're going to be
right next door.
It's a good step for you.
When did you get
so grown up, huh?
You know, it's okay for you
to still be a kid, Ali.
I saw you being one in 1974.
What do you mean?
I crashed the party
at the cove.
No, you know what?
I'm glad that I did
because I got to see Dad.
And you.
You were singing.
- And I miss that so much.
- Me too.
I don't know who pushed me,
but I should thank them.
Last night was a gift
that I didn't deserve.
Why didn't you deserve it?
Seeing Colton so hopeful
about his future,
when I know how his future ends?
No, 1974 is one and done.
Yeah, I'm not so sure
about that, honey.
2 VOICES: So I just breathe ♪♪
Is that Alice
on Cole's record?
I hate to break it
to you, kiddo,
but you do go back to '74.
But, why?
What does this message
even mean?
I don't know.
I mean, maybe your trips back
aren't just about
seeing Dad's love story.
It's my love story, too.
Maybe it's to see if Dad knew
about time travel, or the pond.
What?!
[SCOFFING]
Obviously, he didn't, Katherine.
Well, Jake and I
aren't so sure about that.
Well, you're both crazy.
It's not possible.
Alice wasn't there,
I would remember.
You didn't remember
Alice in 1999.
Well, that was a very
difficult time, Katherine.
Maybe we didn't interact.
Maybe I make myself scarce.
Because Evelyn's in Morocco,
and Rick is at hockey?
Rick?
You met Rick, too?
Yeah,
and he seemed really nice.
Why have you
never mentioned him before?
Rick died, Alice.
After a beach party in 1974.
It was a car accident.
My dad walked away and
- Rick didn't.
- Oh my God.
At, at the cove, I, I was there.
Colton would've gone with them,
but he walked me home instead.
You saved Dad's life.
But why would
the pond do that?
Why would the pond
let me save him when
I have to go, Rick is
- He was their best friend.
- Oh Alice, please.
Mom, it's no use.
I mean, listen to that.
She goes back.
Hey.
I know I said I'd be setting up
my classroom,
but I forgot my sup-plies.
Dad, are you robbing me?
I know it's here.
Just tell me where
and we'll be fine.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Your mother's ring.
Where is it?
