[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Way Home Season 3 Episode 4 “I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song.”]
Effectively, it’s actually trying like Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) may be proper about Casey (Vaughan Murrae), Kat’s (Chyler Leigh) intern she thinks is from the longer term. (Her first clue: She noticed them sporting Kat’s engagement ring on a necklace.) They stated they’re a Goodwin, however Alice meets Max Goodwin within the newest Approach Residence episode, and he says he doesn’t have a sibling with that title.
“Casey is an enigma wrapped in a thriller…” govt producer Alexandra Clarke jokes to TV Insider. “The ripple impact of their presence or lack thereof goes to be felt this season, for certain. And Alice and her theories is a extremely thrilling street to go down.”
Provides govt producer Heather Conkie, “Every thing has been concerning the previous and now rapidly the characters are all switching a bit of bit as a result of Alice is about her future and Del [Andie MacDowell] is about what occurred in ‘74 and possibly sure issues that she doesn’t love folks to know. And now right here’s Alice [time-traveling to that year and] witnessing all the pieces that occurred from a very totally different perspective [with Devin Cecchetto’s Evelyn]. After which we’ve Kat who thinks her current is the one factor left as a result of all her initiatives have come to fruition. I assume there’s a bit of little bit of Casey and all of these situations.”
Alice positively does suppose she’s proper about Casey being from the longer term at this level, confirms Laflamme-Snow. “Proper earlier than she meets Max, she’s nice to simply wait till her subsequent interplay with Casey. She’s attempting to simply dwell within the current and hearken to her mother,” she says however cautions, “We don’t know a lot about Max. We don’t understand how reliable he’s. We don’t know if he’s messing together with her, if he has all of the context. So in a manner, it’s a bit of bit, ‘What does he know?’”

She additionally is aware of that Alice might be “intense” and “ask too many questions.” And due to who she is, she looks like she simply retains getting affirmation of her concept. “However I don’t know that, if she actually picks it aside, her logic holds up,” Laflamme-Snow admits. “That’s fascinating for the viewers, is that you just type of undergo that wrestle with Alice as a result of as issues are revealed, there’s numerous issues that kind of undercut that and say, ‘Okay, we’re again to sq. one now. Now how do we all know if that is actual or not?’”
The EPs can’t say a lot about Alice and Casey’s subsequent interplay. “For Alice, it’s going to be extra concerning the figment of Casey versus the true Casey, for a short while at the very least,” teases Clarke. “I believe that’s much more intimidating and extra mysterious than the precise particular person. In the long run, at the very least in Alice’s thoughts, they may begin to develop into a bit greater than they even actually are.” Provides Conkie, this thriller is a “little bit of an obsession” for her.
Elsewhere on this episode, Del now has to cope with the truth that it’s even more durable to disclaim that her late husband Colton (Jefferson Brown) was time touring; his sweater from 1999 is discovered close to the pond.
“It’s actually exhausting for her as a result of she felt she knew this particular person inside and outside, that she knew all the pieces about this particular person. This was her finest pal, this was her all the pieces,” says MacDowell. “So I believe it’s actually exhausting to think about that he had a life that she didn’t know something about.”
Conkie teases that “it screws her up a bit.”
Clarke says it’s only one other thing that makes Del notice she’s not okay: “I believe she has her son again, which is the factor she’s all the time wished. However in having her son again and her daughter persevering with to time journey and Alice is constant to time journey, it’s simply going to open up a world that possibly she didn’t wish to learn about. There may be some kind of factor of ignorance is bliss and do you wish to be in on all the pieces?”
She continues, “Her journey this 12 months is basically concerning the previous and questioning that as a result of rapidly now there’s different factors of view of recollections that she has held very near her coronary heart about Colton as a result of they’re all she has left of him and now rapidly right here’s Alice saying, ‘Effectively, I keep in mind it this manner,’ and I believe it’s a extremely powerful journey for Del. It’s going to be plenty of reflection and plenty of questioning and plenty of doubt and questioning why the person you thought you possibly can belief, at the very least for the higher a part of their marriage, may need really been mendacity from the very starting. It’s a tough actuality to face.”
Clarke praises MacDowell’s work on this storyline with that. “Issues are going to return to a head, and naturally, it’s not going to be a simple street, however hopefully it’s finally a redemptive one,” she provides.
Will her arc embody eager to time journey like the opposite members of her household? Kat’s boyfriend, Elliot (Evan Williams), even has, too. “Del is a really sensible girl. I believe what’s superb about her and her character is she doesn’t romanticize rather a lot. She doesn’t romanticize a lot besides her personal relationship with Colton really. Every thing else could be very matter-of-fact. And I believe, in consequence, that’s kind of how she treats the pond, however she’s additionally a doer. So there’s that,” Clarke permits, however she will’t say extra.
