Jacob is running through the woods. A woman takes his hand. She knows the pond calls to him, and it will always take him where he wants to go. He needs to stay here for now, though.

Kat tells Del she knows what happened to Jacob, but Del wants her to stop. Weren’t they getting to a better place? Del refuses to listen. How will what she says help?

Kat goes to the pond, but she goes nowhere. Alice asks her to stop. He’s out there, and he’s lost. Kat finally goes, and Alice goes after her. Alice is stuck behind, locked under the ice. Kat goes back under. Oh God. She gets to the other side, and Alice has drowned. Kat doesn’t know CPR and just shakes Alice around. They’re both very frightened when Alice comes to.

Kat visits Elliot and finds a letter he wrote to her on the door. He’s saying goodbye. He loves her. Take care of Alice.

Kat and Alice discuss what Kat believes happened to Jacob. Alice wants to wait a couple of months until the ice melts, but Kat says it’s over. The pond is done with them, and they need to let it go. They make a pact to live here and now.

Port Haven, New Brunswick, seven months later.

Kat is jogging through the woods. The letter Elliot wrote to Kat is still on his door.

Del is working with her bees. A black horse is outside of her fence. She’s surprised.

It’s the last day of school for Alice. Summer is around the corner. Spencer arrives to pick her up. He got into a cooking course in Tuscany.

Monica and Kat are in town. Alice leaves for Minneapolis to see Brady for the summer.

Kat has taken over the Herald. Evelyn Goodman died. She was a Port Haven institution.

Elliot has been writing to Del, sending postcards from everywhere. Kat seems put off by not receiving the same.

Elijah and Rebecca Landry also helped found the town, and they built the farm from scratch.

Del wants to throw a party to bring in the summer and send Alice off properly. Kat used to throw the most epic after-party. A song they like comes on, “Steal my Sunshine,” and they sing.

Alice gets a call from Brady.

Kat and Alice have been going through the historical society, seeing if they could track down Jacob from the past to find out where he wound up. He was there when the almanac existed so he could write his message in it, so he must have joined the family.

Alice wants to do it the easy way, but Kat wants to take Elliot’s cues and do it the old-fashioned way. Alice is unimpressed. When they needed him the most, Elliot bailed.

Brady calls Kat. He really appreciates how cool she is about Alice leaving for his place. He hopes it will give her and Del time to connect without distractions. Alice isn’t a distraction. She’s the glue.

Evelyn Goodwin put The Herald into her will. (I bet they’ll be related to Jacob!) She’s going to Langamore to see what was left. Del arrives and says she’s going along.

Evelyn’s son is selling the place, which surprises Kat. There’s so much history. As it turns out, it’s history that Kat inherits. When she looks out the window, she sees a pond in the backyard, which brings to mind memories that frighten her.

Alice visits the pond to say goodbye. She spies something in the water and bends down to get it. It’s her bracelet.

At the estate, Kat looks at Evelyn’s keepsakes and also looks out the window. There are boxes marked “for the Herald,” and when she moves one of the boxes, she sees a painting of herself from the past with the inscription, My Katherine, 1814.

Alice hasn’t told Kat about the bracelet.

The next time she jogs by Elliot’s house, Kat finds the note is gone and Elliot has returned. They catch up a bit. She invites him to Alice’s goodbye party tonight. Alice isn’t happy about the invitation.

Elliot didn’t receive a warm welcome, and Kat assures him that she said nothing about the real reason he left. It wasn’t appropriate, and besides, there’s no us, right? Alice feels abandoned. He never even said goodbye.

Alice doesn’t want to leave. Del said that summer is magic, and if there’s any magic coming, it’s going to happen here. She doesn’t want to leave and miss it. Del tells her to stop worrying about tomorrow when today’s not over.

They’ve got fireworks, reigniting a tradition Colton started long ago but that had also long been forgotten. Del remembers Jacob’s excitement with sparklers. It was likely their last celebration. When Elliot catches Kat’s eye, he sees she’s a little upset. Alice sees something between them. They’re all feeling the past weighing on them.

Colton gave Elliot access to the clubhouse that summer.

Alice wonders about the look, and Kat reminds her that Elliot had 20 years knowing his past, and he needed to be away from her. Alice takes it personally. She’s the reason for all of it. She ruined it for all of them.

Alice goes to the party on the beach, and she imagines seeing young Elliot there. She misses him.

Kat puts on Sister Hazel, and Elliot finds her. They talk. They talk about the last time they were all together before Jacob disappeared. He wonders if while he was traveling, she might have been traveling, too. He tries to explain why he left like he did. They sit next to each other, and their feelings overwhelm them. They begin kissing, and she pulls away. He missed so much. But he’s here now. She says she’s not his problem anymore.

He remembers in the past when he got Colton’s sign off and Nick’s encouragement to tell Kat how he feels. It could destroy their entire friendship, Elliot says. Or it could make things a million times better, Nick says. Kat says goodbye, and the moment passes.

Spencer gives her his coat, and Alice sees the past. When they give her a guitar for a farewell performance, it’s too much, and she runs off.

Del wants to be OK with Kat before Alice leaves. She wants Kat to let her in. She can’t stop thinking about Lingermore and how Evelyn piled up the past so high around her that she blocked out the light.

Del wants to rebuild their relationship and get to know her daughter again. Kat does, as well, and she’s so happy to hear Del say Colton and Jacob’s names with warmth and love instead of fear.

Alice wishes there was a photo of all of them together so she could remember that it happened and know it was real. Kat assures her it was. Alice tells Kat how she almost jumped and that the pond returned her bracelet.

Since they’re sharing, Kat shows her the bracelet and explains what happened. Alice wants one more trip for her and for Jacob. Kat seems to agree.

Elliot is typing out a message to Kat about kissing when he sees Kat and Alice darting by outside. He deletes it.

A neighbor visits Del. He’s sold his farm. He wanted her to be the first to know. A buyer approached and it was too good to refuse. The buyer doesn’t want to take over his lease for her fields. That means she could go under, but she’s not going to sell.

The horse returns.

Kat and Alice jump into the pond, holding hands. They’re torn apart from one another. Kat is gone, and Alice is back in her past with young Elliot. When Kat emerges from the water screaming for Alice, someone shoots her.
