The Way Home

Previously on The Way Home.

Mom, where are you?!

Mom and I jumped in together, and then it literally

ripped us apart. - If Del loses the farm

because of me, I'd never forgive myself.

- I left because I couldn't deal with Colton's death

and your involvement in it.

You set out to fix that too,

Kat, but you broke it.

Do you know Jacob Landry?

- I do. - Where... where is he?

Found your next story.

Jacob?

Child of the pure unclouded brow

and dreaming eyes of wonder.

Wait, Jacob?

The time be fleet, and I and thou

are half a life asunder,

whose echoes live in memories yet,

though envious years would say forget.

I have not seen thy sunny face,

nor heard thy silver laughter.

Jacob!

But no thought of me shall find a place

in thy young life's hereafter.

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

I thought you were some... someone else.

- Miss? Do you need some assistance?

- No. - No, no, no,

no need to fear me now.

If anything, I should be suspicious of you.

You are on my land, after all.

Your land?

Why, yes.

I'm Elijah Landry.

And who might you be?

K... Katherine.

Just... Katherine.

- Grandma, wait! Let me help you.

- Oh, thanks, Hon. I'm gonna get to the market

and nab a good stall. - Well, I'll come with you.

Whatever you need, I'll help. Always.

- Okay. You hop in, fast. We're gonna beat the masses.

- Slow down, Jacob. She meant no harm.

At least I assume you didn't.

- No. No, no, no, of course not, no. I...

Sorry I just... I got confused. His name is Jacob?

Yes, my grandson.

May I ask what's brought you to us?

I'm a... I'm a traveller.

And I've come quite a long way looking for somebody.

I... I think I'm in the wrong place.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You look like you've battled quite a storm...

and the storm won.

I have a warm home. Food to eat.

So it seems to me you may be in just the right place.

There's Jacob. With my son, William.

It's... It's home.

Kat?

Good morning, Elliot!

I hope you're hungry. Del's in there

making enough pancakes to feed an army.

Hi, Elliot!

There's hay in your hair.

Did you sleep in that stinky old barn again?

- I fell asleep watching the stars.

Um, I gotta get home. Dad's boat leaves this morning.

Vic's off again?

Well, there's always a seat for you at our table.

Anytime, Elliot.

- Tell Kat to meet me at the bus stop.

We don't want to be late for today's field trip.

Will do.

- Help yourself to some blue house honey samples.

The biscuits are fresh made this morning.

- Don't you think those samples are a little... generous?

I mean, if people want to try it, they should pay.

- Special delivery for my two favorite customers.

Oh, thanks, Monica.

- How is business this morning, ladies?

- Good. But you could give Alice here

some lessons in behavioral economics for me.

Oh, how about a job?

Now that you're staying for the summer,

I am in desperate need of wait staff.

Especially with Spencer off to Italy.

- Thank you. I would love to, but... I just don't know

how available I'm gonna be.

- Well, just tell me that you'll think about it?

I will. Thank you.

- You can't turn down a job at The Point.

That is a teenage rite of passage around here.

- Yeah, but... helping you with the farm is important.

- How much help do you think I need?

- Come. Warm yourself by the fire.

I'll fix you something to eat.

Getting dried off?

Yes. Yes, thank you.

Thank you. Why, uh...

stonework like this really...

stands the test of time.

- Well, it was my hope when I built it,

that it would remain long after I'm gone.

But best laid plans.

Stones keep coming loose, you see.

There's always something to fix around here.

You have a beautiful home.

1814.

It's been quite the year already, huh?

So far. We'll see at harvest.

That may as well go in the fire,

for all the good it's done me, though.

- Well, I don't know. Could have its uses.

- Now, I've not much to offer a guest, I'm afraid.

I apologize for its simplicity.

- No. - My wife passed last winter,

and I have a lot to learn.

I'm very sorry.

- Beck and I had many happy years together here.

And we'll see each other again.

One day.

Hmm.

My son did that.

He's got an eye.

- That's the Port Haven lighthouse.

- I'm surprised you're familiar with it.

Not being from around here.

- Oh, I've spent some time in the area.

You know, just... passing through.

- Well, it's the pride of our little community.

Built by Landry hands.

- Your son helped build that too?

- And designed it. He's a real artist, that boy.

I don't know where he gets it from.

Hmm.

- What's that? - My latest stoke of genius,

gals. The summer folks

are gonna eat this up, look, look, look!

Discover Port Haven's ghastly buried past.

Only 45 bucks! I'll put the Landry ladies

down for three tickets, yeah? - Do we have a choice?

- Aw! - Doesn't that seem

a little steep? I mean, especially right now?

- You know, I am charging the going rate!

But wait, wait, what's wrong? Is... is money tight?

- No! We're fine. I mean, expanding

the honey business set us back a little bit,

but I'll make it up by the end of the season.

- Okay, okay. - Sample?

- Hi! I'll take one of these! - Delicious honey.

Have a sample. - Grandma,

you don't have to pretend that everything is okay for me,

okay? I'm old enough to know the truth.

- What are you talking about? You've been acting

strange all morning.

- Because we're about to lose the farm!

Wait, what?

- No doubt you've tasted better, but...

that will stick to your ribs.

We'll be heroes,

and heroes always leave their mark. See?

J and K to the rescue!

- How... How do you know that song?

Hmm?

Oh!

Oh, my...

son used to hum it all the time when he was a boy.

- William? Your son who built the lighthouse?

No. No, my other son.

You have another son?

I do. We took him in, oh...

some... twenty-odd years ago.

But he's a Landry through and through.

William even named his own boy after him.

After our Jacob.

- And... where is that Jacob now?

He's gone, I'm afraid.

- Gone? - Yes.

To Upper Canada.

He's delivering a ship for the war effort.

- So he's coming... he's coming back?

Of course.

This is his home.

The explorer found his way home...

- How do you know that song, Katherine?

The one my Jacob used to sing as a child?

- I told you that I came here... looking for someone.

It's my little brother.

His... his name was...

...is Jacob.

And I...

I have been searching 24 years.

And I think I finally found him.

24 years?

We always knew someone would come for him.

If you're Jacob's sister...

...then that makes you family too.

- This day keeps getting better and better.

- Hey, um... Sorry about back there.
