[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 Approach House episode, when Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) journey again to the 1800s and see the tip of her marriage ceremony — to Cyrus (Tim Submit)!
“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 complete video interview above.) “Kat doesn’t perceive why. However Susanna’s coronary heart is all the time to guard the folks that she loves. So she form of took one for the staff in that sense, the place she needed to be sure that Cyrus’s consideration was saved on her by giving him the factor that he needed essentially the most in order that she may, in a way, sacrifice herself for the protection of Jacob.”
However as we see, they’re not the one ones watching the marriage — Thomas (Kris Holden-Ried) is as properly. And this comes simply after Kat found that Thomas wrote a tune about them … as she and boyfriend Elliot (Williams) are going through a complication in his ex-wife’s shock go to.
“Kat could be very conflicted with how she will be able to really feel two issues in two completely different occasions, and one is unimaginable. It will by no means go wherever. And with Kat and Elliot form of just a little bit up and down and questioning the place issues stand and the place we’re, it makes issues just a little bit complicated,” Leigh admitted.

This episode additionally sees Elliot overhear Kat inform her ex-husband and Alice’s father Brady (Al Mukadam) that transferring in with him is non permanent. (Ouch!)
Leigh factors out that the Landry home is crowded with Jacob now residence, which performed into it making sense for Kat to maneuver in with Elliot subsequent door. It’s additionally about transferring their relationship ahead, although there are “some doubts … so far as what their relationship is, why she’s feeling the best way 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 whole lot of assumptions which were 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 believe that it actually units up a form of harmful context that the entire relationship form of hangs within the steadiness that second and we have now 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 individuals thought can be with Colton!
“Del [Andie MacDowell] has a whole lot of considerations 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 believe Alice has a whole lot of grace for the individuals in her life and he or she’s seen much more of their lives than they may have ever predicted that their teenage little one would see, their granddaughter would see, their pal, neighbor, girlfriend’s little one would see,” notes Laflamme-Snow.
“It’s difficult, however she manages to actually let the individuals in her life be the variations that she’s identified and the variations that she is aware of now, which I believe is admittedly particular. And I believe that that’s the half that Del is attempting to guard Alice from that. However Alice is type of going head-on into it and he or she needs to know extra and he or she feels that the extra she is aware of, the extra she might help her household. And she or he’s all the time felt that means,” 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 means that she needed to. When she sees that one thing is tough for Del and Colton, she has to tug again and he or she has to form of lean on that relationship with Evelyn and he or she has to seek out every thing out by that relationship,” Laflamme-Snow explains. “She will’t go to Del and say, ‘Hello, I’m Alice. Do you wish to be finest mates?’ It will wreck every thing. What occurs has all the time occurred, and that didn’t occur. So there’s a type 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 protecting observe of these. “I’m so confused. We bought to the desk learn for Episodes 9 and 10 and I needed to preserve 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.
