When Bobby lands in Atlanta, he goes to this bar and meets a woman named Harmony Davis and then proceeds to get super drunk. He shows up at his ex-wife Alicia's house and crashes. The next day, Alicia surprises Billy and her fiancé Chris by bringing them both to a dance class. Luckily for Billy, Harmony is there, so he sticks around and scores a dinner date.

Billy starts being nice and that starts freaking Chris out. Maybe Alicia is falling for Billy again. To make matters worse, the kids' flights keep getting cancelled.

He goes out to an art museum with Harmony and has a great time and they end up kissingggggg. He ends up inviting her to Christmas dinner...at his ex-wife's house.

The kids FINALLY get there and turns out Haley is dating Bobby. What a twist.

Ryan joins us this week to head back to the pond for another episode of The Way Home.

Alice is about to graduate high school; Kat and Elliot dream of the next steps for their relationship; Del realizes she will soon be an empty-nester again.

April 19, 2026 | Hallmark Channel

• Chyler Leigh as Kat Landry
• Evan Williams as Elliot Augustine
• Sadie Laflamme as Alice Dhawan
• Andie MacDowell as Del Landry

We start in "the future". Someone has their hand in the pond...It's Kat. In fact, they're all there. Kat, Alice, Del. They say they gotta go see the "I do".

Cut back to the present, and Kat, Elliot, and Alice all jump in the pond together to try to find his mom while Sam watches from behind a tree. They get out of the water and they see baby Elliot there in a crib with the letter his mom wrote. They suspect that she jumped in the pond but she would've needed a Landry in order to time travel.

Meanwhile, Jacob is missing. Apparently he's at the bus stop, so she rushes to stop him from leaving.

So they bring the basket with Elliot and put him on the porch of a young Del and Colton, but they don't seem surprised. Adult Elliot is like why aren't they surprised by this?

Del stops the bus and Jacob is like I need to go. I need to see if I can make a life here on my own. She says fine, I'm not gonna fight to keep you if you don't want to be kept.

7 months later - Alice is in a field playing a guitar. Kat finds her and is like it's time to go! She graduates in 2 days! Elliot is talking to Del and updates her on planning the perfect proposal for Kat. But Del is busy digging random holes. She's looking for...something.

One night, Elliot wakes up from a crazy dream. He goes downstairs to grab that clock and the clock suddenly starts making music.

Del finds what she's looking for. It's a tin bucket full of trinkets. She's interrupted from going through it by a package from Jacob. It's for Alice. He's in Toronto and he's sent a couple of books for her. They're disappointed there's no info about what he's doing there.

They all go to a graduation party together and Alice sings the song she and her grandpa sang together back in the day.

The next day, it's graduation day. They throw a little family party. Del shares a letter she found in the bucket and realized that she probably made Kat mad by not reading it to her when she graduated.

Later, Del hears Tainted Love and it causes the audio of a memory to come rushing back and it doesn't sound great.

Alice goes to hang out with Max Goodwin who is apparently her best friend. They get into a little argument and she goes to grab her stuff and she sees his dad watching some old reels from the '20s. She goes in and he leaves and she sees Fern Landry dancing when suddenly she sees her mom come into the shot and pull her away. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!

So she steals the reel and brings it back to show Kat and Elliot. It becomes clear that Kat is going to be going back to 1925 and this reminds her of something old Fern said... 65 in 25. 25 could be 1925. 65 could be the age of Elliot's mom.

Alice goes to dig a hole to put her own box in the ground but finds a suitcase underground. It belongs to Tessa, Elliot's mom.

So Kat and Elliot decide to jump but the pond doesn't take Elliot. So Alice jumps in after her. When she comes out, she sees old Fern. But when Kat gets out, she sees young Fern. UH OH!

Apparently, they were in the Ladies of Liberty. She brings her a report that her grandma didn't finish on these letters from the Revolutionary War. Since Emma loves history, she reluctantly agrees. She heads down to meet with an archivist. She gives him these letters that need to be treated and what not so she can read them. They're having a great day together but then his boss shows up. Turns out his boss wants him to put together a new exhibit ASAP that excites the people and the donors OR ELSE! Where is he possibly going to get new material? Luckily for him, Emma comes back by his office and they just start hanging out basically non-stop. They're trying to crack this code that's on the letter, which they do. She ends up finding other letters in the house which means the house can apply to become a historical site which would allow them to not sell it! It's all going GREAT, until she finds out that he's going to use the letters and basically take all the credit for it. SHE'S P'D RIGHT THE O OFF!

But turns out, he does give them credit during the actual event, so yay. They end up making up and kissing!

It's Marvel Monday and we're entering the mystic arts!

While on a journey of physical and spiritual healing, a brilliant neurosurgeon is drawn into the world of the mystic arts.

November 4, 2016 | Theatrical Release

Director: Scott Derrickson

Writers: Jon Spaihts, Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill

Producers: Kevin Feige, Victoria Alonso, Stephen Broussard

Cast:

• Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange
• Chiwetel Ejiofor as Mordo
• Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer
• Benedict Wong as Wong
• Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius
• Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One

We open with a group of sorcerers breaking into a secret temple, killing a dude, and stealing some pages out of a very important magic book, as you do. Their old teacher, The Ancient One, tries to stop them, but they get away.

Then we meet Dr. Stephen Strange. He’s a world-famous neurosurgeon, rich, brilliant, and incredibly egotistical. On his way to an event, he gets in a crazy car crash and destroys his hands, which is a real problem when your hands are your entire personality. His friend Christine Palmer tries to help him heal, but Stephen would rather burn through all his money chasing miracle cures.

Eventually, he hears about a guy who was paralyzed and can now walk again, which sends him all the way to Nepal. There, he meets Mordo and The Ancient One, who show him that they have the ability to heal him and give him a little mystical mind- tour through dimensions, astral projection. Stephen is all in. At first they say no and kick him out but ultimately agree to let him study as long as he humbles himself.

So now Strange is studying the mystic arts. He also meets Wong, the librarian who gives him the rundown on everything. He learns that Earth is being protected by three magical Sanctums in New York, London, and Hong Kong, and if those fall, bad things happen. Strange speeds through his studies and starts sneaking around reading forbidden texts. Naturally, this leads him to discovering the Eye of Agamotto, which can manipulate time.

Meanwhile, Kaecilius—the guy who stole the pages—is trying to summon Dormammu, a giant dark-space demon who promises eternal life in a timeless dimension He destroys the London Sanctum and then attacks the New York one. Strange, with help from a magical cape, manages to fight back. But he gets stabbed and has to literally astral-project himself to the hospital so Christine can save his life during surgery..

Back at magic HQ, Strange learns that The Ancient One has been pulling energy from the Dark Dimension this whole time to stay alive, and Mordo is not thrilled to find out his mentor has been doing morally gray immortality stuff behind everyone’s back. Kaecilius attacks again and The Ancient One gets fatally wounded, and before she dies, she tells Strange and Mordo they need each.

So Strange and Mordo head to Hong Kong, only to find the place completely wrecked, Wong dead, and the Dark Dimension swallowing Earth. IT's not looking good. But...

Strange reverse time, fixes the destruction, saves Wong, and then goes to bargain with Dormammu. How does he do that? Well, he traps himself and Dormammu in an endless time loop and basically just annoys him into surrendering.

In the end, Mordo is so disgusted by all the rule-bending and cosmic loopholes that he quits being a sorcerer and storms off. Strange returns the Eye, which, surprise, is actually an Infinity Stone—and decides to hang around in the New York Sanctum with Wong, continuing his wizard training and learning more about the unknown.
