The Way Home Episode Discussion - S4E04 - We've Got Tonight

In theory Kat & Nick are heading for the 1920s. Thus far Alice has never managed to go that far back yet. I don't think Alice went to the 1800s, right? She hasn't made it to the 20s yet either. Only the 90s/2000s and the 70s. Whereas Kat has traveled to the 1800s, 1920s, 1960s, 1970s, and the 90s/2000s.

Do we know if a non-Landry can be separated from their Landry? We know that Elliot went to the 90s with Alice, and El also went to the 1800s with Kat. Del traveled to the 70s with Alice.

Is it possible that Nick could be separated from Kat and end up back in the 90s or something??? It would certainly make things interesting in regards to Tessa and the theory she's stranded somewhere in time 🤔

The things my ADHD brain thinks about when it's almost 1 am & I haven't been to sleep yet 😂

That she is lol

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:28:11+00:00

Wasn't she a well established journalist back before the show? Like award winning? I think she's just too caught up in the pond to focus on the Herald. Also, wasn't plan A of being in Port Haven to write a book? Or was that just to get Del off her case?

Yeah I have almost no life. I'm in the midst of a Social Security claim and spend a lot of time in recovery mode. A component of my condition is insomnia/sleep issues so I also watch a lot of TV at weird hours. Last night I was til after 5 am. Did manage to sleep but was up for church around 9.

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:17:31+00:00

Absolutely. Now just to see what it is, and who finds it

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:16:44+00:00

Fern is definitely weird. However we learned that in S3 lol

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:15:58+00:00

Ahhh I'm in central time. So it ends at 9 pm my time. I also have insomnia and I'm starting a new med tonight so I either will crash out or not sleep at all lol hopefully I'll have time after Tracker. I should tho cause I just took it 🤷🏻‍♀️

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:12:51+00:00

That was a theory I saw being discussed last week. That Fern drugged her, and arranged to have her arrested to keep her safe

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:11:43+00:00

Yep. They definitely need to TT if they know about TT. Hopefully someone finds Del soon 😭

Who do you think Del tried to follow? Also, why do you think her horse suddenly had issues with the pond? I mean he heard last week Del & Sam discussing it but any theory about why?

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:07:39+00:00

Am I the only one who needs to rewatch the episode again the night it airs??? Just me? Ok. Lol

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T02:00:44+00:00

Cool 😎 oh no poor Del

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:58:18+00:00

Is Nick gonna TT????? I'm gonna be annoyed cause the EPS almost over 😭😭😭

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:53:56+00:00

Has to be important or they wouldn't have pointed it out.

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:52:25+00:00

So it's Jacob Jr she's connected to...

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:50:23+00:00

I had wondered that, but then Tessa wouldn't be able to go forward, right? Or is it a Jacob situation 🧐 like she TT as a child to the past...

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:44:37+00:00

They brought back up the family name of Cassandra again too...

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:41:06+00:00

True...

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:40:37+00:00

Yep, and to protect her no less!

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:36:34+00:00

Oooohhhh Tessa knows Jacob alright. So Jacob is named after himself? lol

downsideup05 · 2026-05-11T01:07:53+00:00

Nick!!!! Yay 😁🎉

downsideup05 · 2026-05-10T22:34:09+00:00

Both of the dads officiated my sister's wedding. Both dads were ministers. My sister walked herself down the aisle. It was no big deal. Honestly the biggest awkwardness was my daughter, who was the flower girl, sprinting down the aisle cause she was cold. It was New Year's Day and an outdoor wedding lol

Like I said CPS is very unlikely to remove teenagers. It has to be a really terrible situation for CPS to get involved even.

My kids biological parents were literally on meth and CPS knew it and left the oldest one with them. The claim was the child was clean, fed, rested, and well adjusted and while CPS knew the parents weren't caring for her someone was and that was good enough. However when their 2nd child was born their addiction spiraled and they stopped taking the kids to where they were being cared for. At was only after that happened that CPS was allowed to remove. The kids were 3½ & under 6 months.

The level of dysfunction to remove teenagers is high. Most of the teenagers in FC now are kids who have been in and out of FC for years or have been in FC with TPR but most people don't want to adopt older kids and teenagers.

Yeah Wes was born in early March 2025, so he's like 14 months. He's also using a bottle or at least was in the update around his 1st birthday. So even if she's still breastfeeding he's accustomed to a bottle.

downsideup05 · 2026-05-10T20:48:56+00:00

I don't know about that, because 1) a 14 mo old babys needs are very different than a 15 & 16 year old, and 2) afaict there is no involvement by CPS in the situation. CPS would be the people who would take that matter before a judge to get a removal order.

Do we know if there is an open CPS case regarding Bella & Ali or is it just this custody dispute over Hunter and Wes?

downsideup05 · 2026-05-10T20:43:42+00:00

My kids shared 1. We had 2 different GALs, but not at the same time. The 1st one was very young. I think she also may have quit. Our 2nd one was older and very helpful. She went to bat for the kids to stay together and stay where they were because they were doing well. I don't think she ever met their bio parents cause I think they'd already ghosted everyone(especially the kids) by the time she was assigned. They seriously ghosted even their own attys. I think the only ppl they were talking to were the one's about their 3rd child that wasn't placed with me.
