With its enchanted pond and the Landry family’s predicament, the second season of Hallmark’s The Way Home has finally come. In the second season opener, the story revolves around the sexual tension between Kat and Elliot rather than time travel, following the shocking conclusion of the previous season. Kat decided to stop time traveling because it had only made things worse for them. Watch to see if Kat was able to stop herself and her daughter from wanting to go back in time, or if they discovered something fascinating from the past, in this first episode of The Way Home season 2.
The Way Home Season 2 Episode 1 Recap
The Space Between, the first episode of The Way Home’s second season, began with a suspenseful scenario in which a small child ran into the woods in search of the enchanted pond, where we saw an elderly woman waiting for him. The woman informed the child, holding her hand, that the pond would always lead them to their destination. The woman asked him to remain there, nevertheless. After his disappearance in 1999, Kat’s younger brother Jacob was probably an older version of this boy, and the enigmatic woman we used to know as the White Witch could be an older version of Kat. Probably in another timeline, these two made an effort to solve the enigma surrounding their past. We may learn more about their identities in later episodes.
Regarding Jacob’s absence, Kat confided in Del Landry(Andie MacDowell) back in the present timeline. She also informed her that Jacob might have accompanied their pet dog, Finn, to a different timeline because she knew he could travel back in time as well. Del brushed the conversation aside, having previously gone through hell contemplating her son’s abduction and now being ready to let it go. Though Kat still decided to return to the pond, she was unable to move anywhere in a different timeline when she dove into the water this time. Alice assisted her mother in exiting the icy water as she also appeared there. Both Kat and Alice vowed never to time travel and to move on from their past.
Were Kat and Elliot got back together?
After six months, Kat(Chyler Leigh) and Alice were finally able to control their impulse to return to the pond. While running Port Haven, Kat started concentrating on her journalism career. One day, while working in Port Haven, Kat stumbled upon an artwork that took her by surprise. The artwork was dated to 1814, yet it featured Kat. Kat knew right away that she might have also been transported back to the 19th century. Kat was unable to suppress her eagerness to find out more about that specific timeline and the part she had played in it. She suspected that in 1814, she would uncover some information regarding Jacob’s disappearance, thereby preventing her brother from becoming lost in time.
Kat had been running daily, putting a lot of emphasis on her health. She saw Elliott(Evan Williams) one day when she was out for a jog—he had returned at last. Due to unforeseen events and Kat’s incessant desire to travel back in time, Elliot and Kat’s romance was cut short in the previous season. But at last, this season had made it possible for these two to connect. Regretfully, there is still uncertainty about whether they will end up together or whether Kat’s time travel ambitions will get in the way.
After spending some time together and sharing a kiss at Alice’s party at home, Kat and Elliot both drew back when they realized they were going too far. Kat’s announcement that she had given up on time travel gave Elliot faith that the two of them would eventually click. But Alice had little interest in Elliot or his developing feelings for her mother. Since Elliot nearly abandoned them for their recurring time travel in the previous season, Alice has held resentment against him and has struggled to forgive him.
Del desired to make amends with her daughter and reestablish their bond. However, we did witness—in a separate timeline, perhaps a flashback—that Elliot and Colton were close friends. A sound caught their attention as they were chatting away about their romance. Maybe it was a time traveler, Alice most likely, observing their every move from another timeline.

What Happened To Kat?
Kat told Alice the truth about the painting she had seen in Port Haven. Alice was given another chance, and this time Kat consented, to persuade her mother to do another time travel. They both ended up close to the pond once more, but this time Elliot noticed them as they got closer. Though he refrained from intervening, Elliot was deeply hurt by Kat’s earlier deception of him. He desired to begin anew with her; but, their chances of being together were being threatened by these recurrent time journeys. Kat refused to let go of her past, even though Elliot wanted her to move on. She was itching to bring Jacob(Remy Smith) home and was eager to learn more about him. Kat and Alice decided to take another risk since they were certain that the pond would lead them to their destination. Kat lost contact with her daughter as soon as they dove into the water.
Alice traveled across the pond to reach 1990, an alternate timeline where she encountered a younger Elliot. Kat, however, was still in the current timeline and was unable to locate any portals. Kat was shot by a person from the woods and launched into the lake in the interim. We have no way of knowing who that shooter was, but it’s possible that they were the time traveler who took Jacob’s disappearance. We may learn more about what happened to Kat in the next episodes. She might ultimately make it through and attempt to find out who shot her in the woods.
