Welcome to the last episode of the year and the last episode of season 2! Can you believe it? Join Stephanie as she gets retrospective and reflects on everything that was accomplished in season 2, discuss some TV shows and movies Stephanie watched, but didn't get a chance to talk about this season, and a look ahead to season 3 goals as well as 2026 releases! Lastly, the episode ends with some awards for season 2.

Editing Note: The Way Home season 4 will be its last and currently does not have a premiere date according to Hallmark. IMDB’s date is incorrect :(

Thank you to everyone who joined this season. The podcast could not function without you :)
