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

Jacob is busy working at a bar as a bartender. This guy and gal come in to order an espresso martini. Jacob is like we don't do that, we're old school. After they leave, the ghost of Thomas asks him how long he's going to hide for.

Alice and Elliot are talking about how Kat is still not home. He catches her up to speed about how his mom did come back at least long enough to write a letter. Just then, Nick comes in! What up old Nick! He's moving back to Port Haven! Him and Claire are moving home.

Sam asks Del if she's considered his offer to move in. She says I'm not ready. I want to put that idea on pause. She seems shocked by how cool he is with that.

Kat is still behind bars. Cliff shows up and is like alright, spill. Who are you? No ID, no nothing. She doesn't have time to spill before Fern shows up.

Nick tells Del that he wants to buy Colton's boat and isn't gonna give up without a fight!

Nick's biological father Julian shows up and he takes quite the liking to Del. Do I smell a season 4 love triangle?!

Kat questions Fern about Tainted Love again and Fern insists that she's known that song for ages and still doesn't know no Tessa. She also tells Kat that she's the one who drugged her. It was the only way to protect her from the Augustine boys. For some reason, they have it out for her. Kat says well you know they're working for your fiancé Grayson. Fern doesn't believe that. Kat jumps in the pond, both of them upset with each other.

Alice and Kat are talking with Del and she's telling them how she and Colton used to throw the best parties before Alice was born. Del is like maybe we should throw a good ol' party, in honor of Nick's homecoming.

Del then gets a knock on the door - there is a flower delivery...from Julian.

Kat continues to try to contact Jacob but he still won't answer. So she gets back to looking at Evelyn's old files. She wants to learn more about who Grayson really is, not just what the town's history books say.

Alice jumped back in the pond and sees Tessa and Vic showing up for one of Del & Colton's parties. She hears them talk about how they're getting married. Tessa sees Alice looking on from behind a tree. Alice asks her to not tell anyone that she was there or else she'll tell everyone about how she took money from Coyle's that one day.

Kat finds a marriage certificate of Grayson's to someone in 1926, but it's not Fern. She also finds out that Grayson had a sister who died young.

Alice can't stop herself from sneaking into the house to watch the party. Evelyn gives Del some wine but she doesn't drink it, so she suspects Del must be pregnant.

In the present, it's party time! Sam finds out that Julian sent flowers and is like oh hmmm that's interesting.

Back in the '80s, Fern comes in and sees Tessa looking at the family almanac and freaks out. She's like YOU'LL
