BRAN’S THE WAY HOME (SEASON 4 EPISODE 6) SYNOPSIS
Jacob is back out on horseback, just like the good old days. He goes to see his friend Danny and is like, “Sorry I was gone for a while, but I’m here now and ready to help.”
Meanwhile, Elliot is going full conspiracy mode, reading every article he can find. Kat keeps trying to get ahold of him to see if he’s coming to dinner, but he’s too busy printing copies of important archives.
He eventually shows up, completely zonked, and leaves pretty quickly. Things are still awkward between Jacob and Del, and Kat encourages him to talk to her. Then Jacob randomly brings up those threatening letters that I had completely forgotten about.
Kat talks with Del about her loss back in 1979, and they have a really sweet heart-to-heart. Later, Del goes outside to talk to her horse…and the horse starts acting weird. Makes you wonder.
Jacob meets Max, but the conversation gets cut short when he sees the mysterious girl from the bar walking past the window. He follows her to the park, where she introduces herself as Abby. Turns out both of their families are from the area. They head back together, and that’s when Jacob realizes Abby is Max’s sister. She finds out he’s Jacob Landry, and when he learns she’s Abby Goodwin, she’s basically like, “Okay…I’m outta here.”
Kat goes to check on Elliot, and he suddenly kisses her BIG TIME. She also spots the copied archives, but Elliot gets weird and makes up excuses about why he has them.
He suspects his mom may have been a fortune teller back in the 1920s, and Kat remembers hearing stories about one. They find a flyer advertising an upcoming fortune-telling event that hasn’t happened yet, so naturally they decide they’re jumping back together.
Max surprises Alice with a plaque on “their table,” but yeah, they’re totally just friends.
Del tries talking to the horse again, but this time it charges at her. Jacob offers to help, but Del snaps that she’ll just get attached and then he’ll leave again. Starting to think she’s not really talking about the horse anymore.
Kat and Elliot make it to the carnival in the past. The pond is ponding.
Alice runs into KC again. She’s like, “Why are you here?” KC responds, “I don’t know. Pond be ponding.” Alice immediately asks, “Am I your mom? Do I marry Max?” KC refuses to answer directly but says, “Good questions. Follow your gut and you’ll have no regrets.”
Kat and Elliot search through carnival tents looking for Elliot’s mom. Kat spots the Auggie boys and Elliot follows them while Kat chases after someone she thinks might be Tessa. Naturally, they lose each other. The Auggie boys end up capturing Elliot.
Luckily, Elliot manages to beat them up himself, but then Cliff shows up and arrests the boys. Kat and Elliot reunite and run into Fern, who urgently tells them to leave. Then they discover Cliff let the Auggie boys go free because, apparently, money talks.
Back in the present, Del keeps working with the horse, and it finally starts trusting her again while Jacob watches from a distance.
Kat and Elliot finally locate the fortune teller’s tent. A huge crowd gathers, including basically everyone they know from the 1920s storyline. The fortune teller walks onstage and…I still honestly don’t know if it’s Elliot’s mom. She calls Kat onstage and reads her palm, telling her she’s a time traveler and that she’s there to rescue her. Then “Tessa” asks Kat to meet her backstage.
But before they can actually talk, the Auggie boys kidnap her. Kat realizes they’re probably taking her to the shipping docks.
Jacob also runs into KC, who refuses to explain much about who they really are besides saying their name is “just a name.” Then Abby shows up, and Jacob is basically like, “I think fate brought us together.”
Kat and Elliot track the Auggie boys to the docks and see them loading Tessa onto a ship while saying, “Capone is gonna love this.”
Alice tells Max she doesn’t want to leave, and he completely freaks out on her.
Jacob finally tells Del that he’s staying.
And then, at the very end, Kat rushes in to stop the Auggie boys…only to discover that Tessa is actually the ringleader. Elliot runs up yelling, “Mom!” and Tessa immediately makes sure he gets knocked out.
