[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Way Home Season 3 Episode 5 ” Reeling in the Years.”]
Susanna (Watson Rose) marries who?! That’s the response on the finish of the most recent Means House episode, when Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) journey again to the 1800s and see the top of her marriage ceremony — to Cyrus (Tim Put up)!
“Kat is horrified,” Leigh advised TV Insider when she, Evan Williams, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow not too long ago stopped by TV Insider. (Watch the total video interview above.) “Kat doesn’t perceive why. However Susanna’s coronary heart is all the time to guard the people who she loves. So she sort of took one for the workforce in that sense, the place she wished to be sure that Cyrus’s consideration was saved on her by giving him the factor that he wished probably the most in order that she may, in a way, sacrifice herself for the security of Jacob.”
However as we see, they’re not the one ones watching the marriage — Thomas (Kris Holden-Ried) is as nicely. And this comes simply after Kat found that Thomas wrote a tune about them … as she and boyfriend Elliot (Williams) are dealing with a complication in his ex-wife’s shock go to.
“Kat could be very conflicted with how she will really feel two issues in two totally different occasions, and one is inconceivable. It might by no means go anyplace. And with Kat and Elliot sort of a little bit bit up and down and questioning the place issues stand and the place we’re, it makes issues a little bit bit complicated,” Leigh admitted.

This episode additionally sees Elliot overhear Kat inform her ex-husband and Alice’s father Brady (Al Mukadam) that shifting in with him is short-term. (Ouch!)
Leigh factors out that the Landry home is crowded with Jacob now house, which performed into it making sense for Kat to maneuver in with Elliot subsequent door. It’s additionally about shifting their relationship ahead, although there are “some doubts … so far as what their relationship is, why she’s feeling the way in which that she’s feeling. It’s additionally a matter of attempting to reassure Brady on the similar time [about their daughter].”
Provides Williams, “Each Kat and Elliot are fairly destabilized at that time within the story. And a variety of assumptions which have been made up to now are being challenged. So when Elliot hears Kat say that, it calls into query your complete ahead momentum of their relationship. And particularly as a result of ex-wife Emma is round who’s so clearly bringing readability and devotion in her relationship to Elliot. She sees him and on the similar time, he’s getting this muddled lack of readability from Kat. I feel that it actually units up a sort of harmful context that the entire relationship sort of hangs within the stability that second and now we have to see what occurs.”
In the meantime, Alice is touring again to 1974 through the pond and seeing teen variations of her grandparents, Del (Julia Tomasone) and Colton (Jordan Doww), and attending to know teen Evelyn (Devin Cecchetto), whom folks thought could be with Colton!
“Del [Andie MacDowell] has a variety of issues about Alice seeing the beginnings of their relationship as a result of it was extra difficult than all of us thought it was. However I feel Alice has a variety of grace for the folks in her life and she or he’s seen much more of their lives than they might have ever predicted that their teenage little one would see, their granddaughter would see, their good friend, neighbor, girlfriend’s little one would see,” notes Laflamme-Snow.
“It’s difficult, however she manages to actually let the folks in her life be the variations that she’s identified and the variations that she is aware of now, which I feel is de facto particular. And I feel that that’s the half that Del is attempting to guard Alice from that. However Alice is kind of going head-on into it and she or he needs to know extra and she or he feels that the extra she is aware of, the extra she may also help her household. And he or she’s all the time felt that approach,” she continues.
Leigh factors out that Alice is studying issues Del didn’t see. That’s as a result of, as Laflamme-Snow factors out, Alice can’t have the identical relationship with teen Del that she did with teen Kat (Alex Hook).
“Within the first season, Alice may simply be there for her mother in any approach that she wished to. When she sees that one thing is tough for Del and Colton, she has to drag again and she or he has to sort of lean on that relationship with Evelyn and she or he has to search out every thing out via that relationship,” Laflamme-Snow explains. “She will be able to’t go to Del and say, ‘Hello, I’m Alice. Do you wish to be greatest buddies?’ It might damage every thing. What occurs has all the time occurred, and that didn’t occur. So there’s a kind of new algorithm for this a part of her time journey journey that she’s studying to work with.”
Leigh praises the writers and showrunners for preserving monitor of these. “I’m so confused. We obtained to the desk learn for Episodes 9 and 10 and I needed to maintain leaning over going, ‘What simply occurred? Who did what? Wait, they’re who?’ I used to be so confused. However then we learn the ultimate script and everyone was simply sobbing. I can’t wait to make everyone cry. It’s going to be superior,” she provides with fun.
