BRAN’S THE WAY HOME (SEASON 4 EPISODE 5) SYNOPSIS

Kat and Nick come out of the water and Nick is loving life.

Alice sees Del’s horse running wild and is like, “Oh no, where’s Grandma?!” We see Del hear Colton’s voice. He asks her to take his hand and she says, “I wish I could.” He tells her to just try. They walk back to the house together, but Alice can’t see Colton. HE’S A GHOST!

Kat and Nick pop up in the 1920s.

Alice is checking on Del when Sam shows up. Alice didn’t know who else to call. Suddenly, there’s another knock at the door. It’s Julian with wine. Del is like, “How about you pour me a glass and I’ll tell you what’s going on?”

Alice is trying to snag the almanac when Cliff comes in and is like, “…What are you doing in my house?”

Del tells the fellas to scram so she can talk to ghost Colton. She’s like, “You’re not real.” He responds, “Feels pretty real to me.”

Kat tells Nick to keep the Auggie boys occupied while she goes looking for Fern. She goes to the paper and doesn’t find Fern, but she does find a copy of Alice in Wonderland, inscribed “To Fern, from Auntie Coop.” Could it be Fern Cooper? Grayson is there, though, and thinks they should get to know each other more since it seems like Fern trusts her. He tells her about Auntie Coop — she’s not actually family, just very close to Fern, even though she travels a lot. Kat goes to leave but overhears Grayson on the phone yelling, “GET RID OF HER!”

Alice and Elliot jump in the pond and end up in the ’70s, where Elliot lays eyes on his mom. They follow her back and see Colton devastated because they lost the baby. They overhear Elliot’s mom saying she’s finally ready to be a mom.

Julian comes over to ask Del out now that things are off between her and Sam. Del ends up going to check on her horse and talk more with Colton. She runs after him into the cornfield, where she faints. Alice goes out to find her and realizes she has a concussion.

Elliot sees his mom tuck a couple of Evelyn’s tarot cards into her dress before heading inside. Then his dad shows up, and Elliot overhears him talking about how much he hopes he can be a father someday.

Kat and Nick go to the hideout the Auggie boys told Nick about. They overhear that Grayson sent Fern away and that Coop better not show herself around there again.

Alice goes to check on Del and sees how heartbroken she is without Jacob, so she tries calling him.

Kat and Nick run when the Auggie boys spot them. As they head toward the pond, they finally come across Fern. Kat confronts her about Auntie Coop, and Fern is like, “It’s finally happened. You asked the right questions. She told me this day would come.” They ask what happened to Coop, but before she can explain much, the Auggie boys show up again. They make a run for the pond, and for a second it looks like Nick is going to get stuck in the ’20s — but he barely makes it back.

Alice checks on Del again, but she won’t wake up. Suddenly, Jacob shows up, and Del finally wakes when she realizes he’s calling to her while dream-Colton tells her she has to go. Kat arrives home, and they all celebrate being back together as a family.

But Elliot secretly takes Kat’s keys on the way out so he can break into the archives and try to uncover more answers about where his mom might be.

To make matters weirder, a dead body is found. It's not Lucas though. It's the body of a con-man....the owner of the coin place. Suspicious.

Hannah is on the case. She sees the wife of Lucas at the grocery store and she's laughing. She finds that suspicious. She goes down to Lucas' favorite fishing spot and ends up coming across one of his boots and his work laptop down by the water. Weird.

One night, someone throws a brick through Hannah's window that says "stay out of my business!".

Delores ends up being the star witness in the coin case because of her sleuthing and she's great.

After court that night, Hannah gets a call from Lucas' wife. She thinks Lucas has been there recently. Stuff is messy in a cupboard and his office chair is weird. Hannah finds a number for someone named Rod under a little gift box which is also next to a box of cigars that happens to be the same cigar shop the coin guy was found dead at. She finds that the number is attached to the golf club. So she goes there and finds out that this Rod guy is staying at the golf club. She suspects that Rod might be Lucas. So she goes to confront him. Turns out it is him and he explains that these bad guys were after him. He owed them money. He was worried that if it came out that he was in a bunch of gambling debt, the coin fraud case would've been thrown out. He needed Chad to take over the case.
