The Way Home

Previously, on The Way Home.

Abby Goodwin. We ran into each other.

Next time you just keep walking.

Face how you feel, Alice. Write your love song.

You're not going to sing here. You're not going to write.

Wait, I know her.

Alice, what are you doing?

I have been collecting loads of memorabilia

for our 45th anniversary party next month.

- I love you. - I want to tell her everything.

I have decided to close The Herald.

- It's Elliot. - Why is he being arrested as the Big Fish?

And why are they calling him Tom Buchanan?

What if I didn't leave him behind,

what if he let go?

Why did you do it?

Because I thought it was the best choice at the time.

This isn't the end. We'll come back together.

You'll have more time with Tessa.

You're right. I will.

Time to go home.

Okay.

One...

two, three.

Kat, wait!

I'm sorry.

You have lied to me my whole life, Coop,

so why should I do you any more favours?

Capone won't accept failure.

And now he wants double the shipment at the same price,

so the only way out of this is through it.

But we both have tickets to freedom in our hand!

I have Grayson's film,

and you can go home with Kitty Kat and be with your poor sweet son!

Elliot...

Where's Kitty? - She jumped.

I chose to stay.

- You are trapped here now. - I needed more time.

Well, mine is up. Circus is leaving town.

Just because you chose to stay, doesn't mean I can.

What have I done?

Kat must be freaking out.

Maybe I should have told her everything.

I thought I was here for a reason, to help my mom.

I thought I knew the way this ends, but, now?

What do I do?

Where do I stay?

Here, dear Elliot.

Until Kitty comes back.

Just watch what you say around our dear Temperance Inspector.

We have to keep him in the dark

about Coop's next shipment whether we like it or not.

So Tessa is planning another job.

Chicago boys are in a lather about that bunged-up fiasco on the beach.

Well, you're back.

And you're still here.

Don't pretend to be disappointed.

I'm getting your new roommate settled.

You remember him? From the circus?

Sorry? You get my clothes and now my house?

Mr...? - Tom. Buchanan, wasn't it?

Tom.

A friend of my darling Kitty Kat.

Tom had a little hiccup with his travels today,

so he'll be bunking with you until he can find a way home.

- Huh. - So, bringing work home with you again?

Oh, uh...

I found out I'm getting an award for exemplary service.

Swell timing after missing the shakedown

at The Cove, but still, boss wants me to put on

the penguin suit and head down to some ceremony in St. John next month.

Hm.

Well, I should get some shut eye.

Tom.

Fern.

Sure was nice, though.

Seeing you on this porch at the end of my day.

I hate to say it, but Coop is right.

The only way out of this is through it.

And so, dear Elliot, we must.

You!

You ruined our job the other night.

Come to find out what we do to spies, huh?

Come on over. I'll show you!

I'm not a spy.

I'm Coop's Son, and I know if this job fails,

she's in real trouble. So, I want to help.

You're the reason why we're in this mess.

So scram! - Give me a chance!

Well, it's going to be a lot of work.

And it's going to take time.

I have nothing but time.

You okay?

Well, it's the end of an era.

And Elliot isn't here for it.

I'm just walking away when I should be turning those archives upside down again.

You've done it, honey. There's nothing.

But how could there not be anything more about Elliot's arrest back then?

You'll get answers.

You go back.

The screen test? - One that I look terrified in.

I just meant that the pond does work for you eventually, so...

try and have some faith in that.

It's not that easy, Allie.

I've spent a month jumping in that pond,

only to come right back up in the same place.

I'm not excusing what Elliot did,

just put yourself in his shoes.

How can I?

The Elliot that I know,

if he saw a picture of himself,

he would've told me.

But he didn't.

So what does that say about us?

Nothing. Until you actually talk.

How'd you get out of packing?

Oh, I told them there was a problem in the barn

Oh, is that what you're calling me now?

This is crazy, isn't it?

I should be working.

So how did I get here?

In a hay loft?

Making out with a farmer?

Seriously, this is all very off brand for me, I...

I feel a bit out of place.

It's funny because

this is the perfect place for you.

You're perfect.

Here.

Anywhere.

Is that too much? - No, no.

It's just...

I've never met a guy that talks to me the way you do.

Where do you come from, Jacob?

I came from that farmhouse just over there,

wish I could show you, but...

Yes, but our families are like oil and water,

so I guess for now, I think it's easier if it's just us.

Hat's off to another great dinner, Tom.

You sure are a swell cook.

Just trying to earn my keep.

I don't know how you do it, making five-star meals after all

those long hours at that farm you're at.

Where'd you say it was again?

Let's not make tonight a complete bore by talking about farm work.

We should be celebrating.

You get your big-time award tomorrow night, Mister Inspector.

And I, for one, think that calls for a serenade.

Come on, Tom. You know the key I like.

Coop.

What are you doing here?

I haven't heard that song in a very long time.

The boys have kept me updated on their progress

since I was away.

I hear you've been quite helpful.

I thought you were going to crumble here.

But you haven't, have you?

Maybe there's a part of me in you after all, eh?

Is that supposed to be a thank you?

I'm not used to people doing things for me.

Especially nice things.

Without expecting something in return.

I am expecting something.

Answers.

The time before I jumped, I...

That feels like a lifetime ago.

I wouldn't even recognize that girl now.

She was so confused.

So scared.

- Of Dad? - No.

No.

Vic was good to me.

Kind.

I was scared of me.

Of who I'd become.

Who was that?

Okay. Um...

What about Griffin?

"I jump for love."

Did you really love him?

Why can't you give me a straight answer?

Because there was nothing straightforward about it,

right from the start.

Tell me about that, then.

The start.

We landed in 1882.

Griffin and I, to a Port Haven that was so strange,

yet oddly familiar.

We found our footing.

And when we did, I really believed I'd made the right choice.

But then, Griffin came back.

I'd fallen really ill.

And all we could think of was for Griffin to return

to the present and bring back medicine.

But when he jumped, he didn't come back.

So I was alone, I was weak, and I was desperate.

I could only think of one place to go.
