BRAN’S THE WAY HOME (SEASON 4 EPISODE 2) SYNOPSIS

Elliot is all sad that the pond didn't take him. Del is helping him talk through it. We see a flashback of teenage Elliot leaving the house and Del and Colton telling him he's always welcome to stay. After he walks out, Del is like we never should've let him leave. It's not what Tessa would've wanted. Colton says we just need to keep loving him. That's our promise.

Kat comes out of the pond in 1925. Fern says I guess I shouldn't know when you're from but I can ask why. Kat says she's looking for Tessa Augustine. She says I do know some Augustines but no Tessa. She asks Kat her name and Fern says I will call you Kitty Kat.

Fern has the same conversation with Alice in 1976. Fern says she hasn't seen anyone matching that description from Tessa. She takes Alice to the house and Alice is like...why am I here? Fern is like I have no idea but it's time for my nap.

In the '20s, Fern says she's never time traveled. She has no interest in heading back in time. She's a modern girl. She only cares about the future. In fact, this is the first time she's come across a time traveler.

Alice is walking down the street and Evelyn drives by, so excited to see Kat again!

Fern and Kat also walk down the street and Fern gets a couple of Augustine boys to stop the car to pick them up. She asks about a Tessa and they're both like I have no idea who you're talking about.

Alice gets to Coyle's and Jasper gives her a welcome back milkshake. She asks if he knows a Tessa. He's like sure don't.

Back in the present, Elliot is looking at the picture of him and his mom. The clock suddenly starts playing a song when Del shows up to check on him. She asks him to come with her.

Alice is looking at this song book of songs from the area and asks about this one from 1926. She picks up her guitar and starts to play the song.

Fern brings Kat to the newspaper where she's living and invites Kat to this get together in the evening. Maybe Tessa will be there.

Del has Elliot fix something in the barn and he tells her about how he got his 5 more minutes with Colton right here in the barn. It means a lot to him. Del asks if Elliot and Kat are still going to get married.

Back in the '20s, Fern & Kat are getting changed for the party when Dan Jerrott walks in. His name is Cliff and he's like oh I'm just looking for the editor. He and Fern have some flirty flirty fun time. They head to the party at the Lingermore estate, a place where prohibition doesn't exist. Grayson is pulling all the strings and even has Phantom of the Opera playing at the party.

Colton shows up in the '70s and is excited to see Alice! Evelyn takes them to see her husband Ash.

Grayson tells the party that he's going to film a movie right there in Port Haven and Fern will be his star in his movie, Cassandra in the Lighthouse. She introduces Grayson to Kat.

Ash is waxing poetic about poetry and Evelyn is hanging on every word. He's a big traveler and doesn't understand why anyone would want to stay in Port Haven. He and Colton get in a bit of an argument. Evelyn is like ok enough of t
