Description: Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe episode kicks off in the 70s with Alice watching Colton perform. Kat shows up too and tells her about the jacket. Alice says she's confident there's an explanation. Colton plays a song that really surprises Kat. She asks hippie guy Jasper about it, and he says he taught it himself. It's an old folk song from the founding of the town. As she’s walking back to the pond, she sees Grandma sitting there. She goes to talk to her, and Grandma says that Colton isn’t special—she thought he was—but he’s a rule breaker.In 2025, it’s Del’s birthday, and she doesn’t want anyone to do anything for it. So, the boys ignore her and plan a surprise party. Brady is in town for some reason, so that’s fun.Back to the 70s, Alice is still hanging out with Evelyn. Evelyn suggests they use a Ouija board to contact Cassandra, someone who used to live in Evelyn’s room.Kat makes it back to the present and finds the music book. She reads the lyrics, and it's clear that it was written by Thomas about them. So, she goes over and kisses Elliot, saying, “Our love is good enough to write a song about, right?”So Evelyn, Alice, Colton, and Del are doing the Ouija board, and someone begins to communicate with them. It’s not Cassandra, but someone who says “fire,” “fast,” “blame,” and then the little planchette shoots toward Colton. He’s freaked out, and Del comforts him.Kat and Elliot are making out when there’s a knock at the door. It’s Emma... Elliot’s ex-wife!Evelyn and Alice are talking about what happened when Evelyn notices a hidden door. Inside is the painting of "MY Katherine." Evelyn says, "I recognize her," and Alice is like, “Uhhh, I gotta go.”Sam and Del surprise Jacob with a certificate of resurrection. They probably had to wait in a really long line for that one.Kat, Elliot, and Emma are all hanging out, and it’s awkward.Alice is getting coffee with her dad when Noah walks in. She introduces him to her dad and calls him her boyfriend. Brady is unimpressed.Kat dreams of making out with Thomas, so there’s that.It’s time for the party, and Alice sings a song from the 1800s book. The song is freaking Kat and Jacob out, so they take the book and find out that in 1816, there was a year with no sun. People thought the world was ending. Kat and Jacob are convinced they need to go back and tell everyone that the world isn’t ending.Alice talks to Del about Evelyn, and it doesn’t go well. Del tells her to stay out of her memories.Noah goes to comfort Alice, and they end up kissing.Brady and Jacob have a moment where Brady apologizes for distracting Kat the night he went missing, and Jacob is like, “I’ve never blamed you.”Elliot tries to convince Kat not to go back to the 1800s, but she says, “Jacob wants to jump, and I can’t let him go alone.”Alice is walking around when Max stops her and asks if she’s going to accuse him of having a sibling again. But he says Casey is a family name... Cassandra, actually. So that’s quite the coincidence.Kat and Jacob jump in and come back to the 1800s. They can’t find anyone but end up at the church, where they see Susanna walking out with Cyrus Goodwin, and they’re married! Susanna and Kat lock eyes. Then we see that Thomas is also looking on from afar.
