The Way Home Season 1 Episode 2 Recap ‘Scar Tissue’
Episode 2 of The Way Home, titled “Scar Tissue,” wastes no time diving deeper into the Landry family’s grief, tension, and time-travel mysteries. If the premiere hooked you, this one proves the show is here to keep twisting the knife—in the best way possible. In this week’s episode of Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re breaking down every emotional beat: from Kat’s growing panic over Alice’s disappearance, to Del’s complicated way of grieving, to Alice’s risky adventures in 1999. We’ll share the moments that had us laughing (yes, even in the middle of all the drama), the scenes that broke our hearts, and the questions we can’t wait to see answered as the season unfolds.

Episode 2 Recap
Picking up right where we left off, Kat is frantic over Alice’s disappearance, dredging up memories of her brother Jacob’s vanishing decades earlier. Meanwhile, Alice wakes up in 1999, trying to figure out how to get home, and testing out the rules of the magical pond. Her interactions with young Elliot provide both heart and humor—especially when he demands proof she’s really from the future.
Back in the present day, Kat clashes with Del over secrets that still haunt the family. A potential book deal tempts Kat to reopen wounds, while Alice begins her own search for the truth about Jacob through the town archives. And in one of the episode’s most emotional turns, Del declares Jacob legally dead and holds a small memorial, forcing everyone to face their grief head-on.
What We Loved
- Elliot’s comic relief (“there’s no way that guy becomes president”) balancing out the heaviness.
- Alice as truth-teller: She’s not afraid to call out both Kat and Del on their bitterness.
- Del’s vulnerability: For the first time, we see cracks in her tough exterior.
- The Buffy reference: Giles and Buffy get a shout-out, and it’s peak ‘90s nostalgia.
Big Questions Raised
- Who really sent the mysterious letter that brought Kat back home?
- Why does the pond’s time travel work only for Alice?
- Will Alice uncover what truly happened to Jacob before it’s too late?
