It's the beginning of summer, Alice who is scheduled to spend the next few months with her father in Minneapolis. Since the beginning of last winter, Kat and Alice and by association Del have settled into a new normal in their interrelationships in Kat and Alice discovering that the pond is no longer acting as their time travel portal, that despite believing she knowing what happened to Jacob, Kat will have to use other means to find him, and Kat and Alice having differing views on Elliot now traveling the world in their individual knowledge on what prompted him leaving. Del resurrects what was her and Colton's beginning of summer party with Alice planning on hanging out with her friends that evening at the beach before she leaves. But in Kat working on the story of the passing of Evelyn Goodwin, the matriarch of one of the town's founding families, Evelyn who bequeathed a number of family archives to the newspaper, in Elliot returning from his travels, and in visions that they see this first day of summer, Kat and Alice have new thoughts on what they need to do moving forward before Alice leaves.

Hanging by a Moment
Sun, Jan 28, 202442 mins
After seven months of not having gone near the pond in knowing that Alice's trips back to Kat's teen days had ceased by Elliot's recollection, Kat and Alice feel compelled to return to the pond in Kat discovering a painting of her likeness from another era in Evelyn Goodwin's attic, with the pond in the past having sent them to where they were supposed to go. What they didn't anticipate is that the pond separates them, with Alice surprised by where she ends up, she needing to confer with Elliot both about what happened to her mother and where she herself ended up. With Kat's destination, she, in unfamiliar territory, may have bigger things to worry about than her time travels. Meanwhile, Del asks Elliot for assistance in the matter of the Landry farm, the end perhaps being she needing to sell if she can't come up with a revenue replacement for what Hank had paid in rent for these past twenty years.

When You Were Young
Sun, Feb 4, 202442 mins
Without telling Del or her father the reason, Alice forwent spending time with him this summer in part because of Kat's search for her nineteenth century life, but mostly in wanting to be there for Del in the belief that Del may have to sell the farm. With the farm, Alice will get a clearer picture of what is actually happening. With Kat, her latest trip via the pond does take her back to 1814. While she doesn't see him, she does indirectly locate Jacob in meeting Elijah Landry. She doesn't however anticipate that if she ever does meet Jacob in 1814 that he will not be exactly as she remembers him. In subsequent discussions, Alice will learn through what were passing comments from her mother and Elliot that there is an implication that Alice will indeed make her way back in time, something that Elliot cautions her about in terms of her expectations.
Episode 4
Wake Me Up When September Ends
Sun, Feb 18, 202442 mins
Brady is visiting Port Haven. Although not the reason for his visit, he offers to help Del with her land problems in at least taking a look at the lease she had with Hank and thus was automatically transferred to Sam when he purchased the property. Arguably related to Brady's visit, Alice, on her next trip via the pond, is sent to a key moment in her parents' young lives which coincides with a momentous time globally. Alice is initially somewhat confused as her mother has stated that her young self never saw "Alice" again. While what Alice witnesses is not quite what she expects, she has to comfort a distraught teen Elliot, who, because of his emotions, wants to renegotiate his pact with her regarding she not divulging to him anything about his future. Present day Elliot also renegotiates his and Kat's pact about not talking anymore about her time travels as she seems close to finding Jacob in the truest sense in actually meeting him to where he traveled, namely 1814. What Kat comes to fear is that something has happened to him in that he should otherwise have been mentioned in Port Haven history from what she has been told of his 1814 existence thus far by Susanna and Elijah.
Episode 5
Long Time Gone
Sun, Feb 25, 202442 mins
It's the lead up to the annual Founder's Day celebrations, a time with mixed emotions for some in town. One of those is Elliot, who has always had to live with the Augustines' place as a founding family in comparison to the higher regard given first to the Goodwins, then the Landry's. Those feelings were only compounded by his inebriated father's outburst at the Founder's Day event in 1999, that outburst about which he has never told Kat, and his father's general nature about which arguably only Colton knew in being his surrogate as a father. The one fond memory he has of Founder's Day is decorating the gazebo with Kat when they were teenagers, a task which ended with Kat and Brady's union. These issues may color what Elliot will say in his scheduled speech at this year's event. Another with mixed emotions is Del, who has felt the need to live up to the Landry name despite not feeling like a true Landry, especially when Jacob, then Colton, then Kat, all "true" Landry's, left her all alone. Despite the current day celebrations and other issues in their current day lives, both Alice and Kat feel the need to continue their time travels. In her recent travels, Alice has been spending time solely with an increasingly despondent teenage Elliot, her need to spend more time with him upon learning news especially of his family life. And Kat feels like she is getting closer and closer to finally meeting Jacob in 1814, which is only strengthened by information from Elliot.

How to Save a Life
Sun, Mar 3, 202442 mins
Just as she is about to reunite with him for the first time since he went missing, Kat, in 1814, is horrified to watch Jacob hauled away by British soldiers. While what appears on the surface doesn't seem to be reality, Susanna and Thomas convince Kat that the best thing for her to do is to go back to present day to try and find out if there is any record or anything else that may provide some clue as to Jacob's location. What Kat discovers makes her no longer trust her two 1814 colleagues, Thomas in particular. However, Kat realizes, in needing to turn to a Plan C after an unfeasible Plan A and Plan B, that the three have to work together not only to discover where Jacob is but to save him. With Kat preoccupied with this task, Elliot and Alice take over putting out the Founder's Day edition of the newspaper, which is due by the end of the day. Alice and Kat are torn in competing priorities, the other for both being being there for Del in she having received an official telephone call as to the possibility of discovered remains being that of Jacob. Alice and Kat know that it is impossible, but they can't tell Del why they would know, yet they want to shield her from the pain associated with such a call, the many similar calls in the early years which always amounted to nothing and which were always accompanied by a bunch of crank calls following.

Somewhere Only We Know
Sun, Mar 10, 202442 mins
A frantic Kat is planning on using the pond for trips in quick succession to bring aid to an injured Jacob who looks like he may not survive without twenty-first century medical intervention. She is also dealing with mixed emotions concerning Thomas, who she still does not know if she can fully trust. Something that Del has had to deal with in Kat's frequent disappearances hinders Kat from being able to return quicker than she would like, Kat perhaps not fully realizing the effect her disappearances have had on her current life. Elliot is also concerned for her both for her own safety as well as his place in her life, which is only accentuated by Nick's return to Port Haven. That return also makes Alice realize her need to focus on the here and now. Del also contemplates what to do with her present as she and Sam clear the air about their relationship.

Sun, Mar 17, 202442 mins
Kat is facing stresses on all sides. While glad to see her, Jacob is still upset that she didn't come looking for him earlier. Kat learns from Nick the reason for Elliot's return to town, something that Elliot has failed to mention to her directly leaving the state of their relationship even more uncertain beyond the outward issues they are facing with the secrets they need to keep from others. And Kat's frequent unexplained disappearances open up old wounds between Kat and Del, who brings up the issue of Halloween 2007 at Lingermore, that event which was the precipitating issue in the two being estranged for the close to two decades before Kat and Alice moved to town. Kat is still at a stage of her travels in not being able to tell Del the truth about the pond and Jacob. Overhearing the argument between Kat and Del, Alice becomes even more curious about that 2007 event, about which no one will tell her despite her frequent requests. Elliot has stated that he wants Alice's forgiveness about that event before she even knows what it is, and that he knows that Alice was actually there. As such, Alice decides that she will find out for herself first hand. What Alice experiences has ties to a blow-out of a get-together that he feels he, Elliot, Kat and Monica need in present day. And Del and Sam become closer, something that Del may not yet be prepared to handle.

In the process, she also discovers who painted the portrait of her that first led her to 1814, and that it has some special meaning beyond just being a portrait of her, a special person in the eyes of the painter.
