What Happened to Jacob on the Way Home?
Jacob disappeared on The Way Home after Alice lands in his timeline. Jacob was Kat’s nine-year-old brother.
Since he vanished in 1999, his father, Colton, passed away the following year. There used to be a lot of music and fun in the house, but now nothing seems to be working out in the family.
Del has removed pictures of both her son and husband since she wants to move on with her life right now.
Kat and her mother are so far apart now because of what happened to Jacob that the latter won’t even admit to Kat how terrified she was about Alice going missing.
The key factor that appears to connect the two timelines firmly is Kat’s recollection of being friends with Alice, a new girl in town, during the summer when Jacob vanished.
This is why she named her daughter Alice. Kat has no idea that she named her child after her child.
Del and Kat can’t connect the dots since their memories of Alice’s appearance are somewhat clouded by the fact that she was only around that summer and is indistinct in the one picture of them from that time period.
Still, as Kat and Del reconcile in the present day, the bitterness does not seem to fade away between them. The mother seems to be blaming her daughter for her son’s disappearance.
Time travel-related television programs typically have their own set of rules that govern things like what transpires in both timelines.
We might see time travel being the central plot of this new Hallmark series, but family reconciliation is its focus instead of anything else.
Hence, it might not be wrong to say the series’ has family values deeply rooted in the disguise of the sci-fi storyline.
