In 1814, Adult Jacob sits on the shore, telling Kat that he remembers falling into the pond on the Landry farm and being pulled under. He was drowning, and when he came up, he wandered in the woods as there was no path; he couldn’t find his way home. He recounts Rebecca – his mother – and Elijah finding him, and Kat wonders if he ever tried to tell them where he came from. Jacob says he doesn’t know what is real anymore. Kat tries to remind him that he used to draw ‘J’ and ‘K’ for their names, and that he carved it into Elijah’s table. Thomas and Susanna approach and they tell Jacob that Goodwin is looking for him and he should get inside. Kat says she’s leaving but she’ll be back soon. To Jacob, Kat says, “see you later, alligator.” A look of recognition comes across Jacob’s face, and he asks Kat why she didn’t come for him sooner.
At the pond, Kat worries to Thomas that it won’t bring her back here soon. Thomas says he will keep Jacob safe until she returns; she asks him to be safe too, and she jumps in.
In present day in the Landry kitchen, Elliot has coffee with Del and Alice. Kat comes in from the pond, and Del tells her there’s no need for an apology. Del heads outside to take Alice to school, while Kat fills them in on Jacob’s whereabouts. Later in the Landry house, Kat tells Elliot how Jacob’s trauma seems to have erased his memories of them. She wonders why the pond ripped Jacob away from his family, and Kat thinks if she can remind Jacob of his life before, he might want to come back. Nick enters and he and Kat hug; he asks her what the big story is that she’s been chasing. Elliot and Kat head to work, and Nick says they should all catch up tomorrow night; he’ll plan something.
Outside, Del and Sam have coffee on the back of his truck. Sam jokes that Del must want to keep their relationship a secret, meeting him all the way out there, but Del says everyone knows about them already.
Back at Elliot’s house, Nick asks what’s really going on with him and Kat. Elliot tells Nick that he thought they’d find their way back to each other, but he feels like Kat has a whole side to her world that he’s not a part of. As Elliot cleans up, he eyes the hole punched in his wall, and says he needs a project. Nick starts to poke around as they discuss home renovations, and he finds Elliot’s papers and school books from years ago.
Back on Del and Sam’s coffee date, she tells him that Evelyn’s son doesn’t want to sell Lingermore; he’s buying up land for a vineyard and wants to make her an offer. Del knows this land has given her family so much, but there aren’t any more farmers left amongst them. Although she’d like to keep up the tradition in a way that benefits the community, the town council didn’t back her proposal. Sam asks to read it, but Del thinks this offer on the land could be a sign for her.
At The Point Cafe, Noah asks Alice if she asked her mom about the Lingermore photo. Noah apologizes for kissing her yesterday, and Alice asks if they can just forget it ever happened. Monica overhears, and Alice runs into Adult Nick as she goes to check on her tables. Nick tells Monica that he, Elliot and Kat need a night out, but Monica is busy tomorrow night as she’s been wrangled into doing Rita’s ghost tour. Nick says to count him and all of them in.
At the Landry house at night, Alice enters Kat’s room to see her sleeping. Alice has the Lingermore picture in-hand, but decides against bringing it up and tucks her tired mom in instead.
On the Landry porch, Del takes in her land and has a flashback to talking with Colton, Young Kat and Young Jacob. Colton tells them that by the time they hand the land down to the kids, they’ll have doubled the acreage, and it will be the finest dairy farm in the province.
Del comes back to the present as Kat leaves for work; she tells Kat that they need to talk, as the Goodwins made an offer on the land. Kat tells Del she can’t sell, but Del says it’s her own choice to make. When Kat reminds Del that this is Colton’s legacy, Del tells Kat how she’s always felt indebted to Evelyn after everything she did for them years ago. After Kat leaves for work, Alice asks Del if her debt to Evelyn has to do with the 2007 Lingermore event. Alice tells Del that she’s sick of not being treated like an adult, and that she’s part of this family, too. Del tells Alice that some wounds go very deep, and the event that happened is a sore subject because after it, Del and Kat didn’t speak for 17 years.
When Elliot spots Alice heading to the pond, he stops her as he knows she should be heading to school. But Alice says she’s tired of waiting for answers so she’s going to see for herself. She tells Elliot she knows that he and Kat lied about being at the Lingermore party in 2007, and if she goes back, maybe she can fix things. Elliot says he hopes that she can forgive him once she sees.
In the 2000s on the Landry farm, Young Kat storms outside as Del follows; Alice listens and watches from behind the boat. Del tells Kat that she’s done everything she can to keep the farm, but it’s not sustainable. Kat pleads that it’s all they have left of her dad and Jake. Kat tells Del that she doesn’t come home anymore because Del doesn’t make it easy. Kat leaves, passing the ‘For Sale’ sign posted at the farm’s entrance.
In present day, Del reviews the Goodwins’ proposal, and has a flashback to Colton getting ready in their room. He’s getting dressed to go ask the bank for a loan and asks Del to wish him luck. Back in the present, Del gets a text from Sam asking if she wants to do dinner; she says she’d love to.
In 2007, Young Elliot is startled by Alice sleeping in the barn. He tells her it’s been five years since she’s last been here, and Alice realizes it’s around the time of the October Lingermore party. Young Kat approaches the barn and Elliot hides Alice, as Kat hasn’t seen her in seven years and she hasn’t aged.
In present day on Rita’s ghost tour of Port Haven, she takes a crowd through the woods by lantern and tells stories about ‘The White Witch.’ Monica tells Kat she hopes Alice isn’t getting hung up on Noah, but Kat doesn’t know about him. Elliot asks Kat if everything’s ok, and Kat says no. Del won’t talk to her, Jake thinks Kat forgot about him, and Kat has no idea what’s going on with Alice. Rita talks more about ‘The White Witch,’ and Kat tells Rita that everything about this witch is lore made up by parents to scare their kids. Kat jokes to Elliot that Rita is dragging her name through the mud, and then tells Elliot about how she in fact started the legend of ‘The White Witch’ in the 1800s when she was saving Jacob. Elliot wants to hear more about that, but informs Kat that Alice went back to Lingermore in 2007.
In 2007, Young Kat tells Young Elliot that things just feel harder with Del every time she’s home, and it’ll be eight years this week since Jacob disappeared. Alice watches their conversation from the other side of the barn. Kat asks for a distraction from all of this, and Elliot says after he waters plants at Lingermore he can hang. Kat says it’s Halloween weekend and they should throw a party at Evelyn’s empty house. Kat swears it’s going to be a small soirée and just the old gang. Elliot assumes that means Brady, too, but Kat reveals to Elliot that she left him. Kat departs to spread word about the party that night, and Alice insists to Elliot that she’s coming. Out the window, Elliot calls to Kat to make it a masquerade party, so that Alice can attend incognito.
