The Way Home

TheWayＨｏｍｅ SEASON 01 # EPISODE 03 "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

Previously, on TheWayＨｏｍｅ...

Where were you? - I did time travel...

and I'm my mom's friend Alice, but also... me Alice.

Do you ever wonder what happened to him?

Every day.

You officially declared Jacob dead? - It was time.

I have to see Jacob. - I understand.

Come on, Jacob!

Morning. - Good morning.

What's your plan for today? - Uh... you're looking at it.

You could try looking for a job.

Just because I'm not writing a book about Jacob...

does not mean that I'm not gonna write.

I mean, it's my passion.

You know, I can make money here as a writer.

All right, prove it.

Morning! - Good morning.

Oh, wait. Here, try this.

Is that... mint? - Yeah.

Picked it fresh from the garden.

Brings out the flavour of the beans. - Hmm.

You're very... chipper.

She got up with the sun, it'll put anyone in a good mood.

You got up early?

On purpose? Why?

I don't know. It's just...

there's something about this place.

Okay. Well, uh... I'm gonna go hang out with Spencer and Zoey.

Good for you.

I didn't realize you were friends.

Well, you were right.

In time, I found my place here.

Enjoy the beautiful day.

Okay, who replaced my daughter with Rainbow Brite? - Oh, come on!

What? Enjoy the beautiful day without an eye roll?

I don't know, something is wrong.

Is it a boy?

Or drugs? Are there drugs here now?

Why don't you trust your daughter?

Yeah, it's a little difficult after her disappearing act.

She scared the hell out of me.

She's a teenager, that's what they do.

She's finding her place here.

Maybe you should try to do the same thing.

Oh.

Hi, there.

Hi. -

Can I help you?

Word around town is that you might be willing to sell this boat.

It's always been a dream of mine to own one. It's perfect.

I can fix her up. - Can you believe it?

Isn't she a beaut', Delly?

Ma'am?

Oh. Um...

I'm sorry. What did you say?

We want to make you an offer on the boat.

Unless it's not for sale.

No.

No, it's...

it's time to let her go.

The

Way

Ｈｏｍｅ

That does not get easier.

You know it's been a dream of mine.

Think of all the great memories she's gonna give us.

My opinion is a boat...

is just a hole in the water that you throw money into.

Now, you sound like your father. Hey, there!

Alice, we got a boat! - Yeah, you sure did!

Hey, you're here!

Come up or you're gonna miss it.

Coming!

What am I missing? - What are you wearing?

Uh... honestly, I don't really know.

Closet.

Folks, here we go, the song of the summer, Britney Spears...

Wait, wait, wait, hear this, hear this.

Thank God! I missed it the last 3x.

You're making a mixtape?

That is so vintage.

Vintage? This has CD player and a tape player.

It's my favourite.

People say it's for kids, but that caterpillar is deep.

"Who are you?" Said the caterpillar.

"I hardly know, sir, at present."

"At least, I know who I was when I got up this morning..."

"but I think I must have changed several times since then."

The caterpillar replied...

"You'll get used to it, in time."

See? Deep.

Guys! I... I got it! Come on!

Listen to that. Isn't it beautiful?

Comes with this instant messaging service thing...

that allows you to chat with anyone, anywhere in the world...

whenever you want. Look, Monica's online.

Isn't that amazing?

Why not just call her?

Ye of little vision. Come on, Alice, you...

there must be Internet where you come from, right?

Yeah. Yeah, the Internet is actually a really big deal...

where I come from. - I knew it.

It must be an American thing. -

Hey, all hands on deck! It's boat time!

Coming, Dad!

Oh, Alice, did you not get the clothes I left you?

Clothes are a very loose term for what you left me, Eliott.

Everyone's a critic.

That would be the new ending of this version of the book.

Uh... no. No, there'd be no mention of Jacob or his disappearance.

Okay, what's it about?

Well, um... like I said...

it's about a city girl moving back to life on the farm.

Elevator pitch, it's like Laura Ingalls Wilder...

but with cars! It... hello?

Jack? Hello?

Everyone's a critic, right?

I'm so sorry you had to witness that.

Mom is still on me about the whole...

"Landry women need to keep busy" stuff and...

she's not wrong.

And I need a job...

I just really want to have something of my own, here, you know?

Triple Americano, extra hot.

Again.

Yeah. Do you have anything stronger?

No. I used to need alcohol in tough days too.

Now, I just do yoga.

So much better for your mental health. - Hum.

The usual, El?

Yeah. - Great.

I'm sorry, so... since when did she start calling you El?

That is my nickname for you.

You remember back in high school...

you were so determined to get that internship at the Herald?

You even camped outside the office...

the night before the applications were due?

Wait, what... okay, so what are you saying?

I'm saying...

if you want something here that's all yours...

maybe try something that already was.

Great work, guys.

We'll show Del this beauty can be seaworthy, uh?

Danny and I will be pirates!

Pirates!

Who's Jacob's little buddy? Danny Sawyer.

The 2 have basically been inseparable since birth.

Here, kiddo, let me give you a hand. - Thanks.

It's cool that you want to fix this up.

Yeah? Well, good...

because I'm going to need your help convincing your mom. -

In this together, right? - Of course.

Hey! That thing's gonna take more than a good scrubbing.

Come on, now, sustenance.

I'm gonna share with you.

Hey, don't pick up flowers!

I was an intern here as a kid...

and coming back to work at this paper...

has always been a dream of mine...

and I don't really like to talk about it...

but I am an award-winning journalist...

and I have big ideas for this paper.

Normally, we're a 1-man operation, here.

But just to be clear...

you're Delilah Landry's daughter, right?

Oh, yes, yes, sorry. Kat Landry.

Well, Kat Landry.

You're hired.

Great!

Last card.

I win. - Really? Again?

Why do you always show up sometimes?

Well, my parents split up and my mom lives here...

but she has 2 jobs, so she's just not around that much.

So, when she's gone, you come here? - Jake, stop!

Mom?

Jacob, Alice can come over whenever she wants.

Honey, you are always welcome.

Now, let's just enjoy this sunset.

And imagine how nice it would be on our boat. -

Yeah, you talk a good talk, but truth walks, more like a stroll.

Oh, no, not this time. No, no...

when Kat gets back from camp, we'll take her out for her maiden voyage.

Why are boats always girls?

Oh, buddy, because they're strong...

and sturdy.

And they keep saps like me afloat. -

Come on, now.

Um... I don't really play anymore.

No one's gonna judge you here.

Go ahead.

Okay. - All right?
