Megan Vick SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” the Season 3 premiere of Hallmark’s “The Way Home,” which streams on Hallmark+. “The Way Home” is back on Hallmark Channel, though it took a circuitous route to get here.

On the show itself, the important news from the Season 3 premiere is that Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) is back in Port Haven in the present timeline, and has reunited with his biological mother, Del (Andie MacDowell).

Yes, the new season kicked off with the highly anticipated reunion that fans have been waiting for since discovering that Jacob fell into the pond near the end of Season 1 – and it did not disappoint.

There were tears and hugs all around as the Landrys finally welcomed Jacob home. However, Jacob’s return also meant explaining time travel to Del and creating a story to tell the rest of the world about where Jacob had been for the last 20 years.
