Okay but uh. What if Tessa didn’t put the clock in the wall. What if Elliot put it there for himself.

— THE WAY HOME | 4.09

[swiftiesbuddie]

ok, but we never figured out how griffin's doing in the present

is he in the present?

or did he keep jumping in the pond and end up in some other time?

did he run far far away?

where is he?

No wonder Fern doesn't like Tessa anymore and had that reaction to seeing her as a teenager back in early season 4 (I was wondering why she said they would never be family) not only was she the reason Cliff died but her dear Elliot too

It's such an understandable reaction but still so crushing to me; especially the night of that last kitchen party in the '80s, with Evie icing Tessa out, and then Fern dropping the "It ends with you killing your own son" bomb. Tessa didn't set out to hurt anybody, least of all Elliot, but it's hard not to understand how Evelyn and Fern feel.

Like, yeah, something bad could have happened to Lewis the day Tessa was watching him, and Lewis is Evelyn's whole world, I'd probably be pissed too if I were her. And Fern finally felt ready to go home, she had family in Cliff and Elliot, and her haunted farmhouse had come alive again. If I were her, I don't think I'd be able to forgive Tessa for making the choices that led to those deaths.

But watching it all from the outside? Tessa so badly needed love and support, and if she'd had those things it all could have gone so differently. But, you know, what happened will always happen.

The way home finale was *so close* to being perfect. Curse you Hallmark for canceling it a season earlier than planned! That said, I still really enjoyed it!

Overall, for a hallmark show, this was a good one. Def worth a rewatch!

More thoughts about the finale under the cut!

I think that the finale suffered because of the lose ends that didn’t really get the time to be tied up properly like with Griffin and Tessa. Yes, we did get scenes *explaining* the note with Griffin and Tessa being alive but showing is always better than telling. I mean, what happened to Griffin after he left that note? And how long did Tessa live after surviving the explosion? I am also convinced Griffin is Sam but alas we’ll never know for certain

Also, why did Fern not pass on the story of ‘The One’ who would save the family to Colton??? Would have saved a lot of confusion in the long run? That to me seems like a big plot hole 😬

Also who is Nick’s fiancée and why did we never meet her?

I also would have liked to see more of Casey and *what* it was that was changing that kicked off them coming to the past in the first place. It was nice to see them at the end witnessing their parents wedding. I think it would have been nice too to see them interact with Colton or something when we had the Del & Colton reunion instead of peacing out. And as much as I liked the wedding I would have liked better a flash forward where we got to see Casey’s future…

I wish too we would have had a little more time to flesh out the reunion between Alice and Evie. Their friendship wasn’t as compelling to me as it could have been. I’m sure it was meant to be explored more over the course of the season if they’d had a season 5 like originally planned and I blame that on the show getting cancelled! Also the transition left me a little confused at first as to *how* and when their was happening but it was still very sweet.
