I think it’s safe to say that Del hasn’t used the pond to time travel. The theory that time travel is passed through the Landry family was proven false, due to the dog’s time traveling. We know that Elliot has said he can’t (but is that true?) We know that Kat, Alice, and the dog can all travel through time via the pond. The final scene revealed that she’s been going back to the 1800s to try to rescue Jacob and bring him to the present.īut this leaves a lot of questions. We also learned that the woman we saw in the very first scene, jumping into the pond, was Kat. He fell into the pond in the process and ended up back in the 1800s, based on a note he wrote in the Landry journal. When Kat thought she escorted Jacob back to the house, he left shortly after to chase after the dog. He was going back in time to play with Jacob, and then traveling back to Del’s time to stay with her. Many loose ends were tied up.īut other threads were just beginning to unravel.Īt the end, we learned that the Del’s dog can travel through time using the pond. Brady and Kat made a clean break with their divorce, which was a long time coming. There was a small bit that pointed to a possible future romance between Alice and Spencer, which I loved. But as with all things time travel, he can’t tell Kat the truth because it involves her own future. Perhaps he know that Kat needs to be free so she can fully focus on traveling to the 1800s, and his decision is based on that. The only good excuse I can think of would be if a future Kat had visited him too. Although I believe they will get back together at some point, I’m having trouble excusing Elliot for this decision. It has only been a short time since she witnessed her dad die, and now Elliot’s breaking up with her when she’s so vulnerable. That perhaps he wanted Kat to fight for him, just like she will fight for others.īut from my perspective, I feel like this is a decision that he and Kat can’t come back from. In one Hallmark group discussion, some fans surmised that after Elliot talked to Brady, he realized he would always be the one who helped Kat, but not the love of her life. Some fans provide interesting thoughts on his decision. He’s never truly felt free, and he’s decided that he would rather be free without the Landrys than experience an unknown future with Kat. When the episode nears its conclusion, Elliot says that what Alice told him about the future locked him into following a set path. ![]() She can’t just ignore her trauma and move on. ![]() She’s dealing with some major trauma and it’s understandable that she needs to process the past. She was just being human and trying to take advantage of a very small window of opportunity.Īt one point, Kat realizes that she was also the reason her mom thought her dad was cheating (because she saw her at the funeral.) She opines to Elliot that she’s the source of everything bad that’s happened, and he gets angry at her for not living in the present. Kat wasn’t mistreating him by trying to save her dad. So I had a tough time sympathizing with Elliot in this episode. Even after what happened to Jacob, you can’t blame Kat for trying. It was understandable that Kat and Alice traveled back in time, hoping to change the past. Acting like she should immediately be able to just put it in the past and focus on the present feels like he was asking too much, too fast. Watching her dad die is a level of trauma that could cause PTSD. Although Elliot’s been hugely supportive of Kat this season, his push to get her to dismiss what happened so quickly felt wrong to me. Kat tried to save Alice, but in the process caused Colton to swerve to try to avoid them and died.įrom the moment Kat returns, devastated from watching her dad die, Elliot encourages her to live in the present from now on. Alice followed her mom into the past and was in the road where Colton was driving. Much of the episode revolves around the Kat and Alice Landry dealing with the devastating knowledge that they were to blame for Colton’s death.
