Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH

The episode starts with a full montage showing Alice time traveling to the '90s for the first time—the moment from way back in season 1. She meets Colton, and when he hears she was swimming in the pond, he is immediately suspicious of her. He remembers that she’s the one he met back in the '70s.

Back in the present, things aren't looking good for Jacob. Charges may be pressed against him for attempted arson—I mean, they have him on tape!

Present-day Alice goes back to the '90s to see Kat and Elliot play M.A.S.H. together—something she learned she was present for from her mom—and she’s excited to go back and see teenage Kat and Elliot again. Afterwards, she heads to the pond to go home. As she’s about to jump back in, Colton stops her and says, "You are who I thought you were! The same Alice from the '70s. It’s you!" She warns him not to ask any questions. She tells him the '70s were an amazing time she will cherish forever, and then jumps back in the pond.

Elliot shows Jacob the thing he found in the clock—it turns out it’s a pendulum. Jacob says that’s how he feels, going back and forth between time. Elliot gets some mail from his dad, and inside is the ring.

Alice is back at work, looking for a tape recorder to play some of Colton’s old recordings when Max walks in. They both talk about how they didn’t hate the kiss.

Jacob goes to talk to Danny to apologize for using his garage code at work when he was attempting arson. He tells Danny he’s done enough to him, even though he doesn’t know the truth. Danny asks what he means, and Jacob just says, "Just that you thought for so long it was your fault." Danny tells him to scram. "Get. Leave."

Alice and Kat are going through some of Colton’s old stuff when Alice recognizes a tape. It’s from the demo they recorded together, which includes a conversation Alice and Colton had about how much he loves Del. They play it for Del, and she asks them to take her to him via the pond. The three jump in together. Del and Kat pop up, but Alice is nowhere to be found. We see the pond took her somewhere else. As she gets out, Colton is there and says, "Jacob fell in the pond, didn’t he?!"

We then see that earlier that day, Colton figured it out when he went to visit Evelyn and saw the painting of "My Katherine." He recognizes her. He knows that it’s his daughter who time-travels and remembers that she and adult Jacob were there when he traveled back to the 1800s. He figures out that Alice is his granddaughter. He tells her all of this and gives her his sweater. She tells him that Jacob does make it home, but he figures out he won’t be there to see it. He realizes he’s going to die.

Alice jumps in the pond to leave, and Colton decides to give it one last shot—he jumps in, hoping to see his son again. Alice cries as she lands back in the present, taking off Colton’s sweater—the same one Elliot will one day find.

The pond worked for Colton, and he watches his family on the night of the summer kickoff. He finds Jacob in the barn and tells him, "Remember that I love you, no matter what happens."

Alice realizes she’s not back in the present; rather, she’s back to earlier in the season. She runs back to the pond, and past Alice sees someone running. Alice watches herself running toward the pond and realizes—no one is there to push her, and so it ends up being her that pushes herself.

K.C. arrives at the Landry farm, confronting Jacob with hidden documents—Susannah’s will, which proves Lingermore rightfully belongs to the Landrys. K.C. says this document should stop any legal proceedings and should also stop those letters Del has been getting—letters that Jacob didn’t know about.

Kat and Del end up back at Del’s wedding in the 1970s. Kat encounters crazy Grandma Fern again, who cryptically references 65 & 25, hinting at more yet to come.

In the present, K.C. crosses paths with Alice near the pond. Alice says, "I’m your mom, and Max is your dad." K.C. tells her she’s wrong. Alice says, "But you are a Landry and also a Goodwin?" K.C. replies, "I don’t want to break any more rules."

As they all return home, Alice tells Del & Kat all that she's learned. Del realizes that Colton was going to tell her the truth the night that he was killed and Kat realizes that he knew who she was that night. 

In a final montage, Jacob finds the mysterious letters Del has been getting. Del comes home to realize that Jacob is missing once again and left the letters scattered on the table. 

Sam calls Del and she tells him that Jacob is missing. Sam says that it’s going to be okay. He just knows it and we see that he is staring at the pond.

Kat confesses her love to Elliot. He then reveals his mother’s letter, which includes a mysterious T.S. Eliot quote. They realize that Elliot’s mom didn’t just mysteriously leave when he was a baby—rather, she was time-traveling.

Cut to the baby in the basket and two people standing by the pond. They place a letter into the basket and then jump. Someone then finds the baby and brings the baby to the steps of the Landry farm, where he’s found by Colton and Del. Baby Katherine is there. Will they become one big happy family?
