What really happened to Colton? How does a time-traveling pond actually work? And will the Landry family ever know peace? Maybe we’ll find out in The Way Home Season 3 Episode 10 – here’s when it’s on.
If you want the historical element of When Calls the Heart and the modern-day element of Virgin River wrapped up in one, look no further. In fact, Hallmark goes one further with the new TV show thanks to its time-travel portal in a pond (yes, really).
Essentially, there are three important characters to follow – Del (played by Andie MacDowell in the present timeline), her daughter Kat, and Kat’s daughter Alice. Ever since Alice accidentally found out the pond’s secret in Season 1, they’ve traveled to the 1800s, 1990s, and 2000s so far.
Now, the 1970s is taking center stage, introducing a new dynamic in the form of teenage Colton. But what’s set to unfold in the next episode of The Way Home Season 3?
What time is The Way Home Season 3 Episode 10 out?
Episode 10 of The Way Home Season 3, titled ‘If You Could Read My Mind’ will stream on the Hallmark Channel on March 7, 2025, at 9/8c.
We’re here… the final episode of the season. As expected, we’ve got a hell of a lot of questions to still solve, including the identity of the mystery couple and baby who was left behind.
Teen Colton met Jacob in 1814 and saved him from a fire two years later. While never realized he was actually meeting his adult son from the future, his time travel is still set to have an impact on his marriage to Del.

Oh, and Casey is definitely from the future, but we’ve got no idea who she’s related to.
How many episodes are there?
There will be ten episodes in The Way Home Season 3, matching Seasons 1 and 2 respectively.

That being said, we’ve only got confirmed release dates for the first nine episodes, with the last one still technically outstanding. It’s unlikely there would be a hiatus in between if we look at the release strategy Hallmark tends to follow.
This is the earliest any season of The Way Home has aired so far, though the binge-worthy TV show is sticking to its January-March window.

What you should expect in Season 3
Obviously, The Way Home Season 3 is set to continue the Landry family finding out more about their collective past, now merging with a 1970s timeline. Alongside this, there’s the mysterious reappearance of Del’s son Jacob – and we don’t really know what’s what with him yet. If we’re lucky, we’ll finally get some more clarity on how the time-traveling pond actually works.

The core time-travel flashbacks take place in the 1970s, introducing teenage Colton three decades before his eventual death. It’s still unclear if it’s just Colton and Alice who will connect, or whether Kat and Del will emerge from the sidelines. Del and Colton’s early relationship is explored though, and she’s got a bigger connection to Evelyn than first thought.
It goes without saying that the most mind-boggling part of The Way Home in its entirety is Jacob’s subplot. When we first meet Del back in Season 1, she’s convinced her son died after being missing since 1999. By the finale, Kat figured out that he followed their family dog to the pond, fell in, and went back to 1790.
As you do! We’ve had a few time jumps in the present since then, so by the time Kat works out where adult Jacob is, it’s 1814. He arrives home in Season 3 to an absolutely shocked Del – but Kat knows this isn’t his own choice to leave… he’s being forced to. In a nutshell, he’s now on the run from potential jail time… but there’s been a nine-month time jump since he arrived back home.

Essentially, we’ve still got few concrete answers at the moment. Del is being accused of lying, and there’s a bunch of malicious letters through the door that may or may not be related to what’s gone on.
Then there’s the pond itself. By now, it shouldn’t be a mystery that for some reason, the pond is a gateway for time travel. Alice figured this out completely by accident when we first met her, but other than testing out a few theories, she doesn’t fully understand how it works.
Don’t forget the baby left by the pond in the very beginning, either. “We can confidently say that it is kind of a driver, but we often put something at the beginning that will drive us into another season. We’re tricky that way,” showrunner Heather Conkie explained to Variety.
