The Way Home
Sundays 9:00 PM on HallmarkThe Way Home Quotes
Kat: As perfect as Alice is, I just needed a break. Brady’s this amazing dad, but maybe he’s too amazing. I just feel like I can’t do anything right. I don’t know who I am anymore, El. My career’s flatlined, I’m lonely at home all day, and I just feel trapped. I’ve lost myself in being a mom, and I think it’s made me a terrible one.
Elliot: Listen, Kat. You are going to be an incredible mother, and you are going to raise an amazing daughter whose love for you is beyond words. She’ll grow up to not only be your daughter, but your best friend.
Kat: I wanted to go to London with you. I don’t remember very much from that night, but on that staircase, I saw you, El, and I felllll a bit in love, and I’m sorry I turned so cold afterwards. I was scared, embarrassed, and just a dumb kid.
Elliot: A dumb kid who was really going to run away with me, huh?
Kat: Yeah. But, much like that kiss the other night, it ended before it began.
Elliot: I meant that kiss, Kat, but I want us to be on the same page. No more secrets.
Nick: Stop! What are you guys telling me? It’s a sick joke, right? You’re not actually telling me that Kat’s kid and my Alice are the same person.
Alice: Yeah, that’s what we’re saying.
Alice: You signed it?
Del: Yes. This is Goodwin land now.
Nick: I don’t know, man. It all just feels really cruel. Did a part of you feel special having this secret, watching everyone else be oblivious and so naive? Did it make you feel smarter?
Elliot: I hated having to carry this secret.
Nick: Sorry, man, but I don’t buy it. I think you liked feeling superior, and you know who that reminds me of? Victor.
Brady: Hey, what happened? Did you tell Del about the baby?
Kat: She doesn’t deserve to know her.
I guess this explains why I could never find you on Facebook, huh?
Nick
Elliot: Kat. Kat. Stop! You know you can’t prevent this, right?
Kat: I can at least say goodbye.
Del: I think the Goodwins will do right by us.
Kat: You have always cared way too much about what the Goodwins think of us. So Evelyn agreed to keep out names out of the paper. You don’t still owe her.
You know, the more time that passes, the safer I feel just staying home with the memories. Must be nice to be surrounded by Coltons. I envy you that, Del, if nothing else. You realize, you owe me now, as if you didn’t already.
Evelyn
Nick: So Alice was named after herself.
Elliot: Yep!
Nick: Kat didn’t realize her kid looked exactly like her friend until last year?
Elliot: Mm-hm.
Nick: And Del still doesn’t see it.
Elliot: Yeah.
Nick: I mean, how?
Elliot: You didn’t see it either. Memories are fickle. They fit the story we tell ourselves about life.
Alice: That’s the thing about time travel, I guess. You’re always the wrong age wherever you go. Too young in 2007, and I just feel too old for anybody here.
Nick: You deserve it. To find someone here in your own time. [shivers] Oh, OK. Officially the weirdest conversation I ever had in my entire life, and I feel like it’s only going to get weirder.
Alice: Yeah, so I should go.
Nick: It was really good to see you again, Alice.
Alice: Nick? That night at the cove, I’ve measured everyone else against it, so it wasn’t such a terrible thing.
