The Way Home Season 3 Episode 7 leaves one huge question as show nears finale

Fans are up to their eyeballs in unanswered plotlines and devious Easter eggs planted in plain sight. But thanks to The Way Home Season 3 Episode 7, one major question stands out above the rest.

Every Friday night like clockwork, you can be sure to find an echo of “Oh my God!!!” across all socials. These will be from overstimulated fans of The Way Home, trying to keep up with the many twists and turns of the latest episode.

Now March is on the horizon, Season 3 will officially be coming to an end. There’s no official word on whether Season 4 will be greenlit, meaning the binge-worthy TV show needs to tie up its loose ends, and fast.

Thankfully, Season 3 Episode 7 did deliver an absolutely head-spinning answer for one character… but now an even bigger question has taken its place.

The Way Home Season 3 Episode 7 finally revealed a clue about Casey’s identity

Finally, The Way Home Season 3 Episode 7 confirmed something huge about Casey – she’s actually from the future. Just one huge question remains: is she a Goodwin, a Landry, or something else entirely?

Let’s rewind for a second. Thanks to Casey saying they’re a Goodwin and the timeline connections to the name Cassandra, Alice has been convinced Casey is from the future. In the latest episode, Del learns Casey previously came to Sam for legal advice, though the reason why was bound by attorney-client privilege.

Alice later finds a coffee cup and burner phone in the attic, leading to the reveal that Casey has been squatting there. Lewis is their second cousin, not their father, and things had been rough at home for them in the summer of 2024. The internship “made them feel like family,” with Lewis then changing his mind about the land and getting legal help from Sam.

When Alice later passes by the pond, she finds Casey, who claims they remembered something else they wanted to tell Kat. Here’s the kicker – Alice asks about the engagement ring around Casey’s neck. Remember, it looks exactly the same as Kat’s, which Alice currently has.

“It’s a family ring,” Casey says. “Goodwin family?” Alice adds. “No,” is the reply. Casey vanishes into the pond, confirming they’re from the future. But is the engagement ring a Landry heirloom?

This also means Casey could very well have pushed Alice in the pond back in Episode 1 (we still don’t have an answer to this), but it really only alludes to one thing: Casey isn’t strictly a Goodwin after all.

So far, there’s three working theories: Casey is Alice’s child, Jacob’s child, or even Kat and Elliot’s future child. Whether any of these are actually true remains to be seen… fingers crossed we’ll get answers by the Season 3 finale.
