[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 Manner Dwelling episode, when Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) journey again to the 1800s and see the top of her wedding ceremony — to Cyrus (Tim Publish)!
“Kat is horrified,” Leigh informed TV Insider when she, Evan Williams, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow lately 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 those who she loves. So she type of took one for the crew 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 essentially the most in order that she might, 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 effectively. And this comes simply after Kat found that Thomas wrote a music 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 totally different instances, and one is inconceivable. It could by no means go anyplace. And with Kat and Elliot type 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 momentary. (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 making an attempt to reassure Brady on the identical 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 have been made previously are being challenged. So when Elliot hears Kat say that, it calls into query the 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 identical time, he’s getting this muddled lack of readability from Kat. I feel that it actually units up a type of harmful context that the entire relationship type of hangs within the stability that second and we now have to see what occurs.”
In the meantime, Alice is touring again to 1974 by way of 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 could 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 sophisticated than all of us thought it was. However I feel Alice has a whole lot of grace for the individuals in her life and she or he’s seen much more of their lives than they might have ever predicted that their teenage baby would see, their granddaughter would see, their pal, neighbor, girlfriend’s baby would see,” notes Laflamme-Snow.
“It’s sophisticated, however she manages to essentially let the individuals in her life be the variations that she’s recognized and the variations that she is aware of now, which I feel is admittedly particular. And I feel that that’s the half that Del is making an attempt to guard Alice from that. However Alice is type 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 can assist her household. And she or he’s all the time felt that manner,” 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 might simply be there for her mother in any manner that she wished to. When she sees that one thing is tough for Del and Colton, she has to tug again and she or he has to type of lean on that relationship with Evelyn and she or he has to search out every thing out by means of 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 mates?’ It could smash 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 preserving observe of these. “I’m so confused. We acquired 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 all people was simply sobbing. I can’t wait to make all people cry. It’s going to be superior,” she provides with amusing.
