[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Way Home Season 3 Episode 2 “The Way We Were.”]
Are Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Elliot (Evan Williams) lastly determining their relationship on The Approach House? That actually appears to be the case in Season 3, and within the second episode, “The Approach We Had been” — additionally the title of a nice film, by the way in which, do watch it in case you haven’t — they make an enormous determination about their future.
It’s been a whole lot of one step ahead, two steps again, however that’s now modified. The 2 are very a lot collectively, and on this episode, Elliot asks her to maneuver in. After apologizing for what she stated earlier — whereas apprehensive about her daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), she (understandably) informed him she didn’t wish to care for him, too, if he jumped into the pond together with her — she stated sure!
“For Kat to take this subsequent step is one thing that she needs to do or no less than wished to do in some unspecified time in the future,” Leigh tells TV Insider. (Watch the complete video above together with her, Williams, and Laflamme-Snow.) “Her concern is, is that this going to tear or no less than create house between Alice and Kat? The place abruptly, effectively, I believe my child’s going to want me. However then her understanding, effectively, child’s sort of rising up now and he or she retains making the purpose of like, ‘I’m simply subsequent door. I’m proper right here. It’s okay.’ However to take that step, and Elliot has to come back to grips with the truth that Kat will not be a neat individual. He likes issues which might be …”
Williams suggests, “Sanitary,” whereas Leigh finishes, “of their place.”
As Williams then factors out, “The query is you spend a very long time wanting one thing — and I believe each Kat and Elliot have wished to have a wholesome loving relationship — however what occurs once you get what you need? It stops being one thing you’re going after, and then you definately even have to barter the fact of, what does that really imply to have this factor? And it’s not at all times so easy. And I actually like that the present creates house for a few of that ambiguity as a result of that’s actual life.”
In the meantime, after being pushed into the pond, Alice lands in 1974, the place she will get to see teen variations of her grandmother Del (Julia Tomasone) and the grandfather Colton (Jordan Doww) she’s solely met through time journey, in addition to Teen Evelyn (Devin Cecchetto) — whom she finds out individuals thought would find yourself with Colton! She additionally learns that Elliot’s father’s brother Rick (Mark Ballantyne) died in a automobile accident proper after a celebration she attended in 1974.
For Alice, “there’s a lot magic in getting to return to 1974 and be with Colton as a teen and see and get to know Evelyn, get to know Del, though we don’t actually see her work together with Del very a lot … simply attending to type of benefit from the magic that’s the ‘70s and that excellent setting for what Alice thinks is an ideal love story,” shares Laflamme-Snow. “However there’s additionally this enormous guilt for her as a result of Kat and Alice have been there on the highway, they have been the explanation that Colton [Jefferson Brown] crashes his truck and so they’re the explanation that Del [Andie MacDowell] doesn’t have her husband. They’re the explanation that his life was over. And so to stay with that guilt but additionally get that further time together with her grandfather is, I believe, a very large contradiction for her.”
