The fourth and final season of The Way Home premieres tonight on Hallmark. Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) is about to graduate high school, while Elliot (Evan Williams) and Kat (Chlyler Leigh) are ready for the next steps in their relationship. Meanwhile, Del (Andie MacDowell) realizes she will soon be alone again. The pond has more in store for the Landry family across generations.

During  a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Laflamme-Snow spoke about Alice’s growth over the series. In the past she was more insensitive and critical but has since grown up. “There are a few things that really test her maturity and really test that new grown-up Alice in the present day that she could only really get through because of the things she’s been through in the past,” said the actress.

According to Williams, Elliot’s arc is almost opposite Alice’s this season. “Elliot’s made a whole bunch of decisions about himself as a young person that have remained unchallenged,” he explained, adding that what he learns about his mother upends it all. “It’s kind of threatening to unravel everything that Elliot is standing on.”

Viewers will have to tune in to see if the pond ends up a blessing or a curse for his character this season. “There’s definitely an adventure ahead, and it’s going to challenge him more than he’s ever been challenged,” added Williams.
