The Way Home

Previously, on The Way Home.

I'm impressed, Del. Most days I feel like a zombie.

Do you have any idea who's ripped out of this?

I don't remember it being taken.

Teasing you with Susanna's will

is more fun than actually using it.

I know about the pond.

That night, that person, I just want it behind us.

This is Nate Simon,

Hollywood producer extraordinaire.

What do you think you said to her?

- I have no idea. - Nobody's going anywhere.

Everyone freeze!

- Five souls in, four out. - Tessa, gone.

I just invited my mother to her own death.

Elliot, wait! Can... Can we just stop

and make a plan? - It's my mom.

I have to get to her. - Right, but the explosion...

The paper never covered it. Okay?

So we don't have any idea about how it happened or why.

All we know is that we can't stop it.

Maybe not, but at least I can say goodbye.

It's not 1925. We have to go back.

Wait, no, Fern. She'll have the answers.

She lived through it.

Elliot!

Oh, what a joy to see you!

Fern, listen, we need you to help us.

New Year's, 1925,

do you remember an explosion in the tunnels under Lingermore?

Oh, so that's still to come, is it?

Oh... Such a sacrifice you made.

Oh! They're home.

Oh.

Grandma Fern, look!

Wanna meet your great-granddaughter?

Oh!

Hello, my dear!

I'm so pleased you're a girl. You'll be nice and safe.

Uh, Grandma, this is, um...

this is Katherine.

Katherine.

Kitty Kat.

I don't even wanna know where you two have been.

We have a problem. Sam knows about the pond.

Sam? How?

KC. It turns out he didn't lie about

how he knew them. They did come to Sam

a couple of years ago asking for legal advice

about Susanna's will.

What he forgot to mention is that KC told him

that they were from the future. - Oh, God.

I asked Sam to leave. I couldn't handle it.

He knew this whole time? Two years?

He's not the only one. Whoever wrote these did too.

So did whoever edited Kat and Alice

out of the film reel. - Film? What film?

It's a long story.

But there's something else that we have to deal with.

Elliot and I might have learned that Tessa...

That she...

We think that my mother is going to die.

In an explosion. - What?

It's the folk song. Five Went in, Four Came out.

We think the explosion happened on New Year's Eve.

And Tessa is the one that didn't come out.

That newspaper photo.

You're at that New Year's party getting arrested.

Then I must be there too to get Elliot through the pond.

This is ridiculous. Neither of you

are to go near that party. - We know we go, Del.

No matter how long we put it off,

it's still coming for us. - Not if you just don't jump.

So Sam and KC aren't the only ones keeping secrets.

What is this that I hear about a relationship

with Abby Goodwin?

It's not gonna be a secret for much longer.

Abby wants to... tell Lewis.

Well, that is just about terrifying as an explosion.

Yeah.

It certainly has the potential to be, yeah.

You're not really going back there, are you?

Elliot can't just let his mother go.

Not without trying to save her.

You know, I had to try.

With Dad.

The things we do for love.

Yeah.

El, I want to try again. Let's jump, okay?

Let's just rip off the Band-Aid. - Right now?

I don't want you to regret anything

when it comes to your mom. I want you to come back here

knowing that you said and you did

everything that you could. Everything that you wanted to.

They didn't listen. They jumped.

Ugh, how could Kat just leave a note?

Ugh...

Oh, Alice. Please don't!

Well, look who's back.

Is it Tom Buchanan these days or Elliot?

Fern told me the truth. You're Coop's son.

She thinks you were only at that raid

a couple of months back 'cause you were trying

to get Mother dearest out of the booze biz.

I don't know, you looked pretty invested to me.

Where have you two been holed up all this time?

Oh, just... here and there. You know?

Well, Coop disappeared too after the raid. Like you two.

I gotta say, life's been a lot quieter since then.

Where is Fern? I just... I need to see her.

She's at her screen test.

Her picture starts filming in a few days.

And, uh, where are these tests being held?

At Lingermore, of course.

Um, yeah, we should stop by

and just wish her luck. - Yeah.

Hey, now...

Don't go rocking the boat.

I'd hate to see you spend New Year's Eve in jail.

Fern.

There's a job tonight, we have to go.

What? No, there's the party tonight.

She's gonna die, Fern.

Cut it! Cut! Stop the camera right now!

Get out. Clear the room, please.

Right now.

Well, you're right, Just Kat.

She is gonna die. Aren't you, Auntie Coop?

I don't understand. You know you're gonna die?

In a big explosion. Very dramatic.

- What is going on? - It's all fake, silly.

To get Tessa out of the business and free Gray here

from potential scandal. - So that Tinseltown hot shot

Nate Simon, he finally agreed to finance my film

with Fern as the lead, of course.

Not that dreadful Mary Pickford,

but Nate is putting pressure on Gray

to get rid of the bootlegging before production starts.

He'll pull the plug if there's a hint of hooch.

Capone, he's been sniffing me out.

I mean, I've been laying low. It's only a matter of time,

so... I have to get out.

I figured, do it when I have my boy here.

So you're faking your own death.

The explosion, though, will be very real.

Nothing fake about that. It'll happen before the cameras

even start to roll. It'll look like an accident,

but more importantly,

it'll destroy all the tunnels under Lingermore,

effectively shutting down the town's booze transport.

But you have another job first.

No, I don't. Where'd you hear that?

Kitty Kat, don't you see?

1926 is a year of new beginnings.

Fresh starts for all of us.

Well, certainly for you, my dear.

Okay, so no one is going to be killed?

The town will only think it.

So it's true. The pond is magic.

And you're a time traveller.

So, you know, but please don't tell Colton.

Are you telling me he doesn't know?

Well, now I have to tell him. - No, please!

I'm begging you. - No.

- Can I just... - No.

- Please? - Hey.

What's going on?

Hi, nothing. Um...

Just turns out Alice is camera shy,

and a little clumsy on the rocks.

So, hi.

Hi, I was just on a walk.

- But you brought the baby. - Uh...

Yeah, Vic got called out to the boat,

so I had to bring him.

Hey, I know. I know, it's okay.

Well, I should... I should head out.

- Okay. - It was nice chatting.

Come on, Elliot.

Shh, shh...

Can't wait to get these developed.

It's so peaceful here.

Kind of otherworldly.

I come here to think a lot.

Usually without the baby, though.

Oh, I know, I know.

It's okay, buddy.

Feel like walking home with me, Alice?

I could use the company.

- Yeah, yeah, of course. - It's okay.

- Ready for the launch tonight? - I think so.

I know it's just a few guests,

but they are very important influencers,

so everything needs to be perfect.

You should be there, Jacob.

I thought you wanted launch to be perfect.

Your dad isn't going to react well, Abby.

I don't wanna see your big night ruined.

I just want him to see you for who you really are.

Not the guy who set fire to his vineyard.
