The Way Home series finale, "Ahead By a Century," aired and revealed that Alice was with Evelyn the night she died and that a younger Evie reemerged during that moment. The episode closes with an ambiguous last scene about Elliot and Casey Goodwin, leaving Elliot's survival unclear and Casey’s exact role in the timeline unresolved. Showrunners Alexandra Clarke and Heather Conkie said they prioritized emotional closure, Kat and Alice's wedding and the Alice/Evelyn resolution, while intentionally leaving some plotlines open, and they outlined what a planned Season 5 would have addressed, including Griffin and Tessa storylines and further time-travel consequences. That matters because the finale wraps four seasons with a bittersweet, open-ended finish that provides character closure yet preserves specific mysteries that drive rewatching and potential future expansion.
