When Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) gets divorced unexpectedly, she has no choice but to pack up and move back to her hometown of Port Haven to live with her estranged mom, Del (Andie MacDowell), with her teenage daughter, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), in tow. Del and Kat haven’t spoken in decades, and neither one will tell Alice what caused their rift. Alice, tired of being caught up in adult nonsense, plots her escape from Port Haven, but it doesn’t go the way she expects. As Alice sneaks off the Landry farm, she falls into a pond. When she emerges, she finds herself back in the late 1990s — and face-to-face with her own teenage mother. Will time travel be the answer to the Landry women’s problems?

A moving family drama complicated by time travel, The Way Home was created by mother-daughter duo Heather Conkie (Heartland, 7th Heaven) and Alexandra Clarke (Departure, MsLabelled) alongside executive producer Marly Reed (Midnight at the Magnolia). The Hallmark original series premiered in 2023.

What’s the plot of The Way Home Season 3?

Now that Kat’s brother, Jacob, is finally back in the present timeline after 25 years of being stuck in the 1800s, the Landrys are finally getting honest with each other. Kat, Jacob, and Alice all sit down with Del to explain the time-traveling pond and what really happened to Jacob. They decide as a family that no one else can know about the pond, and they tell the press a fake story about Jacob losing his memories in an accident as a child and being raised by the people who found him. But Jacob finds himself unsettled and purposeless in the present, and can’t quite seem to find his place — especially with his mom, Del, babying him. 

Meanwhile, Kat makes one last trip to the 1800s to tell Elijah, the man who raised Jacob, that Jacob is safe. She’s shocked to run into Thomas, whom she berates for faking his death in the Season 2 finale and lying to her. But despite one last breathtaking kiss, she tells him that she’s with Elliot in her timeline now, and they both have to move on. 

In the present timeline, Del’s finally indulging in a little romance with her neighbor Sam (Stewart), and Alice returns to Port Haven after having spent the summer with her dad. The new and improved Alice seems totally focused on the future rather than the past; she’s talking about shelving her music dreams for a more serious, professional career in PR. But when Del finds an old demo of Colton’s to try and spark Alice’s love for music again, it opens up a new branch of impossible Landry lore — naturally. Because there’s Alice, singing along with her grandfather Colton on a record from 1974. And coincidentally, 1974 is the summer Colton and Del fell in love. 

If that isn’t enough of a reason to jump back into the pond, Alice also discovers that someone else is using it to time travel — which should be impossible, since only the Landrys (and Elliot) know it exists. 

Who is Casey? And why is Alice investigating her in Season 3?

Casey Goodwin (Murrae) is introduced in Season 2 as Kat’s intern at The Herald. They moved with their family to Port Haven after the death of their grandmother, Evelyn. 

While Del originally agrees to sell the Landry farm to Casey’s father, by the end of Season 2 she begins to regret her decision, and to wonder if there’s another way to keep the farm afloat financially. It’s Casey who eventually saves the day when they find documents in Evelyn’s belongings that make the sale of the Landry farm untenable, and the Goodwins back out of the deal. When Casey delivers a letter from the Goodwins’ lawyer to Del ensuring she doesn’t have to give up her home, Alice notices that Casey’s wearing a ring that looks exactly like Kat’s engagement ring — the ring Alice currently wears every day. That could only be the case if Casey inherited the ring … which makes Alice wonder if Casey is from the future, and somehow related to the Landrys. Season 3 delves more into this mystery.

What happens in The Way Home Season 2?

Need a refresher before heading into Season 3? Here we go. The second season kicks off a brand-new mystery after Season 1 ends. While Alice is still trying to figure out what caused the break in her mother and grandmother’s relationship in the early aughts, Kat’s determined to make it back to 1814 and rescue her now-grown brother, Jacob (MacPherson), who she realized was alive in the Season 1 finale after Jacob’s dog came through the pond in the present timeline. Yes, the same brother who disappeared as a child in the ’90s, never to be seen again. In fact, Jacob had fallen into the pond and was rescued and raised by Elijah Landry (Hughes), one of the founding fathers of the town of Port Haven. While she’s back in 1814, Kat also meets Jacob’s rakish friend Thomas Coyle (Holden-Ried) and his fiancée, Susanna Augustine (Rose). Susanna and Kat become close friends, as Kat’s naturally drawn to her because she’s Elliot’s ancestor. And Thomas? He’s trouble — of the rum-smuggling variety — but the connection between him and Kat is electric. 

By the time Season 2 comes to a close, Kat’s done her best to convince Jacob to return to the present with her, but she also accepts that he’s a grown man with a whole life, and it’s ultimately his choice to make. In the present, she discovers Thomas’s death date from town records and rushes back to save him — only to exchange a passionate goodbye right before he’s shot by soldiers. (Or so she thinks.) Despite a heavy heart, Kat knows that Elliot (Williams) is waiting for her, and she returns to the present ready to finally give their relationship a shot. 

Meanwhile, Alice finally figures out why the pond keeps sending her back to the ’90s and early aughts. During a visit to 2008, she realizes that Kat did want to repair her relationship with Del: Kat actually came back to Port Haven to give Del a plane ticket to Minnesota to meet her new granddaughter. But thanks to Elliot’s toxic dad, the letter never made it to Del, who was out of town during Kat’s visit. In the present, Alice finds the ticket stuck in an old piece of furniture at Elliot’s house, and she uses it to finally get her mom and grandmother to reconcile.

But that’s not the end of the time-travel high jinks in the Season 2 finale: Elliot discovers that other people can time travel if they jump into the pond with a Landry. He uses that loophole to have five more minutes with Colton Landry (Brown), his de facto dad, the final summer they were all together before Colton’s death. In that same scene, we see Colton from a different era watching the Landrys have a beautiful family moment — implying that he’s also a time traveler, and knew about the pond this whole time. 

The biggest twist of all is that Jacob comes through the pond, finally stepping foot in his proper timeline for the first time since he was a child. He’s ready to resume his life, but it’s not going to be as simple as just walking through the Landrys’ front door.
