Meet the Mysterious Elliot’s Mom

by

In modern-day Port Haven, there’s no denying the significance of the Landry family. However, the season finale of The Way Home challenges this notion. Proceed with caution, as spoilers lie ahead!

In simple terms, Season 3 marks a significant phase of development for the Landry clan. Del has managed to navigate through time and reconcile with Colton’s reality, while Alice has been instrumental in resolving the family’s issues by discovering crucial answers and even developing feelings for Max.

In a nutshell, Kat has been juggling multiple responsibilities – resolving an 1800s predicament, concluding her relationship with Thomas, and wholeheartedly embracing Elliot. On top of that, she’s grappling with Colton’s final moments, as he seems to be trying to convey knowledge about Kat’s true identity.

The final scene of the Season 3 finale is particularly significant, and here’s why: Given that Season 4 has been confirmed, this crucial moment seems to be suggesting that the key figure we should be focusing on hasn’t been introduced in the series so far.

We’ve already seen Elliot’s mom in The Way Home Season 3

In Episode 9, Alice encountered a girl at Jasper’s in 1974, who turned out to be Elliot’s mother. This seemingly casual encounter is actually part of a larger enigma that she’s involved in.

Let’s take another look at what transpired: Alice had a disagreement with Evelyn, who believes that visiting San Francisco could help her free Colton from Del’s influence. Following their argument, an upset Evelyn departed, and a girl then quoted T.S. Eliot by telling Alice, “Take the initiative to mend things. Make life regret-free, for it is too brief.

The solution to this seeming importance isn’t revealed until Episode 10. In that episode, Elliot opens a letter from his mother that was addressed to him. He recognizes the text as being from a T.S. Eliot book, which is where he got his name. Alice then shows up, recalling the girl she met in 1974 who also showed her this same book. “I believe I encountered your mom,” Alice suggests, but Elliot can’t fathom how a clock – adorned with an inscription from the very same poem mentioned in the letter – could have been placed in a wall constructed before the book was even published.

After that, he rereads the letter. Using a phrase, “I leap for love,” it’s hinted that Elliot’s mother might have traveled through time as well. Kat says, “There’s only one explanation – she had to go with Landry.” In the scene, we witness Elliot’s mother writing the note and placing it in a crib (it turns out, the baby surprise is Elliot!). Meanwhile, the enigmatic pair leap into a pond, and Colton discovers Elliot, eventually bringing him inside to Del.

It’s apparent that Eliot’s mother (who for some reason we don’t yet know her name), will play a significant role in Season 4. At present, we only recognize one half of the mystery couple, as this is the only way she could access the pond, being a Landry associate.

After that, there are more queries on the table. For instance, where did she take her trips? What transformation occurred within her? Could it be possible we’ve crossed paths with her at a different moment in time but didn’t realize it? The fourth season might require us to re-explore 1974 to find some answers… but only if Elliot’s mother is indeed from that particular timeline.

At this stage, I’m just as puzzled as you, and it seems we won’t find definitive solutions until 2026. However, for the next 10 months, let’s brainstorm and develop our most plausible hypotheses together.
