## Resource

This week on The Way Home Listener Mailbag 8, you came ready with theories, clarifications, and just enough clown makeup to keep us all guessing. We discuss why Evie was really upset in 1980, whether Alice is destined to reveal the truth to older Evelyn someday, and who may have edited the film reel. Listeners weigh in on Tessa's motives, postpartum depression theories, and baby Elliot's mysterious journey. We also debate Elliot's increasingly questionable decision-making, speculate about Cliff and Fern's love story, revisit Sam's role in the larger mythology, and ask whether Season 4 is trying to squeeze two seasons' worth of story into ten episodes. Plus, we tackle the Jacob and Abby storyline, the possibility of everyone ending up in 1925, and one very important question: would you rather have a messy ending or no ending at all?
