Chyler Leigh & Sadie Laflamme-Snow Tease The Way Home‘s Season 3 Finale – Here’s What to Expect

Onscreen, Chyler Leigh and Sadie Laflamme-Snow are quite an unstoppable duo as Kat and Alice in The Way Home. Not only have they rescued Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) from the past, but they’ve juggled fitting into their new home, finding out long-lost Landry secrets and learning how to time travel all while being there for each other.

Of course, that will all continue in the season 3 finale.

“We were a blubbering mess,” Laflamme-Snow told SheKnows of her initial reaction to reading the finale’s script. “Everyone was at the table throwing Kleenex boxes at me and I was inconsolable.”

Leigh, however, took some time to put together what really happened. “It makes so much more sense after I had Evan Williams explain it to me,” she says, referring to the actor behind her onscreen love interest Elliot. “I’m telling you, if you’ve ever been affected by an episode up until now, you have not like you will be.”

What Have the Teaser & Sneak Peek Said About the Finale?

Prior to the finale premiere this Friday, Hallmark released a spoiler-filled teaser. In one of the scenes, Jacob is seen confronting Casey (Vaughan Murrae) about their past. “Who are you?” he asks.

In another snippet, Andie MacDowell’s Del makes a surprising request to Kat and Alice. “Take me to see him,” she says. Knowing how conflicted Del has been about Colton (Jefferson Brown) lately, we’re guessing that “him” is indeed her late husband. Will Del finally take her first dip in the pond?

Also released was a sneak peek scene of Alice and Kat. In it, Kat is rummaging through some of her dad’s items when she finds his wedding tapes from his and Del’s wedding in 1974. “Aww, it looks like Jasper played DJ at mom and dad’s wedding,” she says.

She then finds another tape labeled “Coyle’s demo, 1974.” “Oh my God, mom, you found it!” Alice says before running out of the room.

What Happened in Episode 9?

In episode 9 of this season, Alice got to the bottom of Colton’s time travel history.

As it turns out, Colton jumped in the pond for the first time on the last day of school in his junior year after getting in a fight with his mom. “It all happened so fast,” he said. Suddenly, he found himself in 1814 meeting Susanna, Jacob and Elijah and ended up sharing the tip about 1816 on a whim. “I knew what was coming their way,” he said.

But, by the next time he jumped in the pond, Colton arrived in 1816 with Elijah’s home being set on fire. “It took me to 1816, to see what I caused,” he said. “The whole town turned on Elijah and his family all because they planted potatoes and rye. It was my fault. Even though I was able to save someone from the fire, I basically destroyed my entire family’s future.”

Also in the 70s, Del returns by surprise to Port Haven and Colton proposes. “I wanted to do this before you left but I never got the chance,” he said. “Delilah Watson, will you marry me?”

In the present, Jacob concocts a plan to set fire to the Goodwin vineyard he was just hired to oversee. But before he gets his revenge, Del stops him and drives him home. “You’ve got to let go of the past, Jacob,” she says.

More on Working on The Way Home:

Since first meeting in 2022, Laflamme-Snow and Leigh have had a mother-daughter bond ever since. “She came up to Toronto to have Thai food,” Leigh remembers. “I don’t think you knew if I was a real adult or not, because I remember Chyler was like, ‘Can you drink? Are you a grown-up?'” Laflamme-Snow adds. “And I was like, ‘Yes, I am.'”

As for how they met their fellow co-star Andie MacDowell, who plays Kat’s mom and Alice’s grandma Del, their first impressions were a little less orchestrated.

“I think we were at the farmers market in season 1,” Laflamme-Snow says of meeting the Groundhog Day icon. “You really want to control the day you meet Andie MacDowell,” she says. “And there was just no time. There’s just too much going on.”

Luckily, the co-stars soon hit their sweet spot “We just fell into place,” Laflamme-Snow admits. “We didn’t really get a ceremonious no introduction.”

The same goes for Leigh, who met MacDowell in quite unique circumstances. “The first scene that I had with Andie, I’m like, yelling at her,” she remembers.

Despite the unusual first impression, both of them took it in stride. “She was so funny and so kind and so loving,” Leigh says. “It was effortless.”

Leigh and Laflamme-Snow then looked back at their favorite scenes together from the three seasons.

“We got to do a scene where we went back to the 70s at the same time and Kat catches Alice in the past trying to just stick around and hang out with the teens,” Laflamme-Snow describes. “She’s like, ‘What are you doing?’ And Alice and Kat have this perfectly normal mother-daughter interaction, but it just happens to be in the context of them both being in the 70s at the same time.”

“It’s something I’ve been looking forward to since we started the show,” the actress says. “Just doing something light-hearted and fun in the past together.”

For Leigh, her favorite scene with her onscreen daughter was back in season 1.

“She had just come back from the 90s where she had her breakup with Nick, and we were sitting on the bed and her hair was wet,” Leigh says. “I got to just sit there and brush her hair. It just felt like such a real mom-daughter moment.”

Seeing these two talk about the show, it’s clear that it means more to them than just a job. For Leigh, who’s starred in other hit shows like Supergirl and Grey’s Anatomy, this show has been the most transformative.

“This show has taught me so much about myself,” she says. “And I don’t know if it’s just the catharsis of it. “

She then looked back at an emotional scene in season 1 where her onscreen dad Colton (Jefferson Brown) passed away after a car crash in her arms. “For me, it was like a moment of almost releasing some demons, just letting them go, getting them out, not being afraid of what I look like on camera, not being afraid or concerned about my performance, just letting myself have a real raw, guttural moment that really let me get out of my insecure shell,” Leigh admits. “And it was one of the first times that I really felt freedom as an actor.”

Laflamme-Snow’s most transformative moment also happened back in season 1 during one of Alice’s performances. As she sang, friends and family of hers cheered in the audience.

“Doing something live and seeing all my close people coming together and being in the audience, I could see all the people that made it possible for me to do what I love,” she says. “It was really emotional to see everyone in the same place.”
