The Way Home Season 2 Episode 7 Review: Somewhere Only We Know

What is going on?

There are so many balls up within the air after The Way Home Season 2 Episode 7 that it is laborious to see a straight line to the end.

There is a lot to debate, so let’s get began.

Things are coming to a head within the Landry household, and Kat’s want to carry all of her secrets and techniques near the vest may finally tear her household aside once more.

I feel we’ve to inform Del the reality about all the things. It’s the one selection we’ve.

Alice

The prospects for her to get caught up to now or for Jacob to die are very actual, and if she fails to share what she is aware of with Del, regardless of how her mom takes the information, she is going to remorse it.

Kat’s concept to avoid wasting the day by returning to the previous with a bag of antibiotics and different 2024 medicinals failed. At least Elliot knew it will fail and noticed her off with a warning to that impact.

It’s too unhealthy Kat would not have extra religion in what Susana completed along with her wounds to consider she’d be capable of tincture her strategy to curing Jacob, as effectively.

Susana is extremely succesful, however you get the sensation that Kat feels extra succesful since she comes from a complicated society. Instead, she’s typically the one scrambling for solutions or understanding.

Getting to know folks up to now places her life into perspective.

Kat has already pegged Thomas as the last word unhealthy boy, who dragged her brother kicking and screaming into the road of fireplace. Except, she was flawed. It was Jacob who had plans for breaking unhealthy. It was his concept to double dip on their very own smuggling.

What else was Jacob’s concept? He in all probability has loads of them. He’s already misplaced all the things he had in life as soon as. Why would he dwell in concern of shedding the rest?

We do not know Jacob in any respect. Kat knew him as a baby, and Susana and Thomas know the grownup he is grow to be.

As Kat screamed that her Jacob would by no means, I could not assist however need to scream again that he was a child. After the trauma he suffered, there’s each motive to suspect that who she knew at seven is far totally different than the younger man he is grow to be.

She’s let her life and her relationships be dominated by tragedy. Look what not having the ability to take care of it did to her relationship with Del.

Now, we do not know what went down at Langermore and why Alice thinks that is the ultimate nail within the coffin of their mother-daughter connection, however we do understand how shedding Colton and Jacob affected them each.

Kat was misplaced inside herself, questioning how she’d stand it if she misplaced Jacob once more, by no means getting the possibility to know him, when Thomas matter-of-factly mentioned he’d already misplaced two brothers. She typically forgets the information of her life are clean crusing in comparison with life in 1814 and earlier.

Kat: What if I by no means get the possibility to essentially know him?
Thomas: I’ve misplaced two brothers. Losing Jacob can be like a 3rd. We stroll this earth within the time that we’re given after which we return to it.

Kat knew Jacob as just a little boy; Susana and Thomas have grown up with Jacob. Jacob is sort of a coin, with two distinct demarcations in his life journey.

It’s laborious to think about what he went by way of, however it will be much like a baby being kidnapped and instructed their previous life is gone, and that is the brand new one. Except we have been given the impression that Jacob was instructed to not return to the pond till the precise time.

Kat believes now’s the precise time to return Jacob to the longer term. It appears unlikely there are different options to the plan within the quick time period, and for the reason that pond and time journey are on the coronary heart of this present, it makes extra sense for him to return than to make a run for it.

Jacob should know the pond is his lifeline dwelling, however I’m desperate to learn how many instances he is tried to return, if in any respect. If Jacob the boy was obsessive about the pond within the ’90s, how on earth may Jacob the grownup be any totally different?

Of course, the hour pale to black simply as Jacob’s recollections of dwelling invaded his thoughts. We are on the precipice of the large reunion. What do you anticipate from it?

Adult Nick has additionally returned dwelling after his fiancee broke off their engagement. During The Way Home Season 1, I by no means thought Nick was all that chummy with everybody. He was a pal however not an in depth pal.

Now, it looks like he was at all times a part of the group and fairly beloved. You’d must be very near the household to have the gall to ask Del about Colton’s boat.

It appears that Nick will play a big position in no matter went down at Langermore and the way it modified their lives. It would not take a magical pond to alter the longer term.

I’ve typically questioned how many individuals will find out about time touring earlier than too lengthy. Kat tells just about anybody who would pay attention up to now, however she muzzles herself sooner or later.

Thomas: For a witch, you recognize shockingly little about nature.
Kat: Wait, wait a minute. You assume that I’m truly a witch?
Thomas: I noticed you leap into that pond two days in the past and solely emerge once more this morning. How’d you handle it? Is it an phantasm, or is it actually sorcery?

Alice is begging to inform Del to present the poor girl some peace. Even when it is not Jacob-related, being on the surface wanting in is not working.

Thanks to our reader Spas, who identified that Kat getting The Herald out by herself makes her fairly magical in her personal proper, pond not wanted.

OK, no offense to Kat, however did she have a 12-year-old put collectively this paper?

Nick

The quantity of labor to place collectively one paper with one particular person can be astronomical. She has no time to research or expertise the issues she’s writing about, which makes writing about them even more durable.

Elliot and Alice’s try to put out the paper on The Way Home Season 2 Episode 6 proved that and extra. Del was humiliated at how poorly her daughter represented crucial occasion of the 12 months in Port Haven.

And all of the whereas, Kat simply says she will’t reveal her huge secret. How many secrets and techniques are sufficient? We’ve already hit the restrict.

Nick is not an fool. He’s going to comprehend that the Alice he is speaking with is his Alice from the previous. The approach he speaks of the previous proves he is by no means put Alice out of his thoughts. How may he not acknowledge her?

Nick: Is that Alice singing?
Del: Yeah. Isn’t she somthin’?
Nick: Unforgettable.

Alice is often one of the vital mature folks in any room, however when she’s round Nick and Noah, she’s only a lady. That’s a sensible transfer in what could possibly be an icky state of affairs since Nick is now an grownup.

Since Alice is in full-on younger girl mode with grownup Nick, will probably be simpler for him to drag himself away from recollections of his Alice, even when he discovers she is identical Alice.

She’s the identical lady he knew on the similar age. His emotions are more likely to return, however they’ve executed sufficient story work that it will not veer into cringey territory.

Plus, Noah is a cutie. Alice and Noah have discovered one thing good, and she or he wants to stay current. She can clearly see the boy she appreciated is now an grownup, and it is made simpler having Noah round to mood any lingering doubts.

Nick’s presence additionally causes Elliot to rethink his relationship with Kat. “Sometimes, love just isn’t enough.” I’m occurring file now, saying that Elliot and Kat have a really lengthy strategy to go earlier than they’re romantically concerned.

When you watch Kat in 1814, that is what I anticipate of affection. Passion and dialog and butting heads. Kat already trusts Thomas extra along with her ideas than she does Elliot, which does not say a lot for Elliot.

Kat and Elliot are always in a battle of wills as in the event that they’re proving one thing to one another. It’s not a simple relationship, which is stunning given their historical past.

But with Thomas, Kat provides pretty much as good as she will get, and as a substitute of letting issues linger within the air unsaid, they’re saying them. She beats across the bush with Elliot however walks straight into the bush with Thomas.

Are you at all times this confounding, or is that this one thing I convey out in you?

Thomas

There’s one thing to be mentioned for a relationship that progresses naturally. Just take a look at Del and Sam.

Del does and says what she desires, and Sam reacts as he desires. Del made it clear she did not need to be one among his ladies, and with no phrase, everybody on the town knew Sam had somebody particular, and his days of enjoying the sphere have been over.

Just so we’re clear. One moonlight swim doesn’t imply I need to be one among your ladies.

Del

With a long time of secrets and techniques clouding their souls, the Landry ladies must cleanse themselves of these secrets and techniques and begin recent.

They are stronger collectively, and so they make higher selections when being true to themselves. Will The Way Home Season 2 finish on a constructive be aware, or will what we anticipate to occur (Jacob’s return to the current) make issues much more tough for this household?

How will assembly Thomas and Kat’s burgeoning emotions for him have an effect on issues with Elliot within the current?

Will Kat inform Del what’s been taking place, or will she solely uncover the reality when Jacob returns and Kat stays up to now?

So many questions, and we solely have three extra episodes for solutions. It’s one hell of a sophomore season, is not it?
