In the '70s Colton goes to confront Grif. He sees Alice and is like oh you must be Del. He corrects him and then Alice goes to jump back to the present.

In the present, Del is telling Elliot that she can't help but wonder if Griffin took Tessa into the pond. She suspected that they had a thing. Elliot is like you kept this from me. You know what secrets have done to this family. He storms off.

Alice hears all of this and decides to jump again to see if she can find out more.

But she shows up 2 years later. Evelyn's had her kid and he's already 2 years old. And Griffin has been gone for 2 years too. So a wasted trip.

Kat sees that bullet on Alice's nightstand and she tells her where she found it. Kat is like hmmmm interesting.

Del and Sam are riding horses. Sam is like I wonder if you should move in with me. He also tells her that he knows about the pond when her horse seems to get nervous when they get close to it.

Alice is hanging out with boyfriend Noah and best friend Max. Noah says he's thinking about opening a restaurant in the big city. Max is not supportive. But Alice tells him if it feels right, go for it. They can just start long distance early.

When Max and Alice go to leave, Max tells her that it's probably not going to work with them going long distance. She's like what do you know about love?

Elliot surprises Kat with a last minute getaway to a cabin in the woods.

Elliot's dad shows up looking for him but he's nowhere to be found. So he goes to question Del. He tells Del that Elliot has been calling, asking about his mother. Del says I told him the truth - Tessa left both of you because she fell in love with Colton's brother.

When they get to the cabin, we see that Elliot has brought the engagement ring. Is it finally time?!

Alice goes back in time to talk to Evelyn and check on her baby. Evelyn is excited to finally see her but questions why she bailed before the baby was born. While they're talking, guess who walks up to take her order... it's TESSA!!!

While out on a hike, Elliot gets ready to propose. He does that by telling her that he's always wondered if they should have kids of their own. Before they can dive into that, they get service and find out that Elliot's dad is back in town.

Elliot's dad joins Del & Sam for dinner to hash things out some more.

Alice watches as Victor Augustine (Elliot's dad) asks Tessa out on a date. And then she watches as Tessa steals money and looks at Alice and puts her finger to her mouth...don't you tell!

Elliot gets back and sees the happy go lucky dinner. He's like oh I don't wanna interrupt this happy reunion.

Kat goes to talk to him, tell him that she's open to continuing that conversation about kids but he needs to work things out with his dad.

While looking at the picture of Tessa, she recognizes the bracelet she's wearing. Turns out, it's the same bracelet that Fern is wearing in that reel.

Elliot asks his dad how he can be so sure that his mom died if he never saw her again. He gives him a letter he received, saying she's dying, that included the ring.

Fern takes Kat to a speakeasy where she performs and then Kat overhears the big bad Augustines talking about getting rid of her. Kat is then shocked to hear her singing Tainted Love. She goes to confront her about singing a song from the future when she starts feeling funky. She collapses as Cliff comes down there to break up the party. Fern says oh Kitty Kat what are we gonna do with you?

Elliot and his dad make up as the clock chimes at 11:11, like always. He says that his mom always used to say make a wish at 11:11.

The episode ends with Kat waking up in a jail cell.
