Before we get to what happened in this week’s episode of the show, which aired on Hallmark on Friday and is available today on Hallmark+, read our little recap on episode five too.

What happened in season 3, episode 5?

What happened in season 3, episode 6?

Tensions Between Alice & Max Continue to Rise

In episode five of the show, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) pieced together a few clues about Max Goodwin (Dale Whibley). From his comment about Casey’s name to Noah (Alexander Eling) saying that Max called her “wife material,” Alice came to one conclusion: she and Max might be Casey’s parents in the future.

And, on episode six, the clues these two are destined to be just kept on coming.

When Noah surprises her with lunch at school, Max quickly swoops in and starts eating it. “I thought Alice was the only one on the planet who likes that disgusting combo,” Noah says. “You two are like soulmates.”

Trying to avoid the situation, Alice goes to Elliot (Evan Williams) only to find out that Max is her new lab partner.

“Do you ever try to fight fate?” Alice asks him. “Or do you just sit there and watch someone you might’ve wanted to be with go out the window?”

Not knowing what’s actually going on with Max, Elliot doesn’t open up. “Despite what you may think you know, the intricacies of my various entanglements are my business, not yours, including details about your mother and my love life,” he says. Fair enough!

Susanna Is Really Marrying Cyrus

Moving to 1816, Elijah Landry (Stuart Hughes) confirms to both Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) that Susanna (Watson Rose) is indeed getting married to Cyrus (Tim Post). “Cyrus is free to do what he pleases, what pleases him is marrying Susanna, always had been,” Elijah says.

Susanna then comes by the house to confirm her suspicions, then tells them to leave.

“We can’t always marry the person we want, Katherine,” Susanna tells Kat before drifting off. “But we can marry the person who can get us what we want.”

Alice & Del Take a While to Make Amends

In episode five, viewers saw Del (Andie MacDowell) and Alice fight for the very first time. As Alice opened up about her experience in 1974, and Evelyn’s heartbreak after Colton and Del started dating, Del snapped. “Stay out of my memories,” she said.

And, by the beginning of this episode, the two still aren’t seeing eye to eye. “Look, I shouldn’t have chastised you at the party, it wasn’t the right time or place,” she tells her granddaughter. “You wouldn’t let up, telling me things I don’t want to know, telling me things I don’t want you to know.”

“I didn’t choose to go 1974, that’s just where the pond took me,” Alice quips back. “So yes, maybe I saw things you didn’t, but I was there and those are my memories too.”

“We’re all in this together,” she pleads. “We need to talk about it because we’re the only ones who can. I need to talk to someone but clearly you don’t want to listen.”

Later on, Del concedes. “You’re right, all we’ve got is each other,” she says as she visits Alice at work. “I’m sorry, it’s been a lot for me to process. Please forgive me if I haven’t been easy-going about it.”

Alice tries to apologize too, but Del cuts her off before she does. “You don’t need to apologize, I know it’s been emotional for you too,” she says, before the two share a sweet hug.

Jacob Almost Shoots Cyrus

In an attempt to save Susanna, Kat attends her wedding while Jacob stays behind. Soon, however, his anger reaches a breaking point and he storms to the wedding with a gun in hand. Before he can get a clean shot, however, Elijah stops him.

“Are you mad? What are you doing?” Elijah asks. “Fixing what I broke,” Jacob responds. “Do you know the guilt that I live with? That I can’t rid myself of?”

“I’m not letting my son throw myself on the pyre,” Elijah says. “I shouldn’t have left you,” Jacob adds. “You had no choice,” Elijah says back.

Jacob, Kat & Thomas Are Arrested

At the wedding, before anyone can take notice of Jacob, a mysterious ash falling from the skies alerts the townspeople. Quickly, they turn on Susanna, who’s called a witch by her peers.

“You were right, I am a witch,” Susanna responds. “I am the one who stole the sun, now you have a face to blame. Is that not what you wanted?”

Kat then jumps in and takes the blame instead. “Cyrus is right, Susanna is not to blame because I am the white witch, returned,” she exclaims. “And I am the reason for this year without summer.”

Of course, it doesn’t take long for Cyrus to identify Thomas (Kris Holden-Ried). “This is a dead man,” Cyrus says. “Not as dead as you’d like huh, Cyrus?” he responds. “Brought back to life by the white witch.”

After initially getting released from jail with the help of a friend, Kat, Thomas and Jacob are taken into custody by Cyrus’ men.

“Since you cannot stop the curse, you will become our target,” Cyrus tells Kat. “I’ll have to through with your execution, and Thomas’ of course, Jacob Landry will be included too. His return to town was an unfortunate choice.”

Emma Still Needed Closure

At the beginning of the episode, Elliot’s ex-wife Emma says her goodbyes and apologizes for intruding in his life. A few scenes later, however, she returns.

“I have a question and I’m gonna ask it before I have a chance to change my mind: why did you give me your family ring when you proposed?” she asks.

“I’m over us, I’m over the divorce, but I just need to understand why it happened,” she tells Elliot later on. “You didn’t even give me your family ring, did you think we were doomed from the start?”

“I probably didn’t give us enough of a chance,” Elliot admits. “In another world, another time, it might have worked. Because I did love you, Em. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what you must think of me.”

As Elliot admits his mistakes, Emma gets closer and closer. “The love was real right? At least for a while? It was real for me, please say it was real for you,” she says, before kissing him.

After kissing her back, Elliot backs off. He wouldn’t cheat on Kat, right?

Kat ‘Steals the Moon’

Back in 1816, Kat, Jacob, and Thomas are about to be executed by Cyrus. But as Kat waits, she sings the song Alice sang in episode five back to her. In it, it talks about a witch who stole the moon and was let go because of it.

“Listen to me, if you hang us tonight, I will not only have stolen your sun, but I will take the moon along with me leaving you in darkness and cold forever,” Kat threatens the town.

Then, as everyone starts to listen, an eclipse begins.

“See?” she says, almost in disbelief herself. “I demand to be released, now! And only when I and my friends are free, will I allow the moon to return.”

As Cyrus and everyone scream for her release, the moon returns to shine.

“This witch needs a promise, Cyrus Goodwin,” Kat tells Cyrus after being freed. “That you won’t so much as touch Susanna, or Elijah, and that Thomas and Jacob will be free men in this town. Otherwise, I will steal the moon again.”

Kat Comes Clean About Colton

While it’s been some time since viewers saw the accident that led to Colton’s death, Kat has yet to open up to her family about what happened. At the end of this episode, she does.

“Dad died in an accident in his truck, but I was there, from the future,” Kat tells Jacob as they try to say goodbye to 1816 again. “I did everything I could to stop it from happening but I caused it. It was my fault.”

As Kat cries and apologizes, Jacob lets go and she falls into the pond.

Later on, she admits to the accident to Del too. “I’m sorry, I saved him but then I killed him,” Kat tells Del. “I killed Dad.”

Kat Was the One Who Saved Colton & Evelyn

All season long, the show has been teasing viewers about Colton and Evelyn being rescued in the pond when they were just eight years old. In one of the last scenes in this episode, we find out that Kat was the one who saved them. Kat jumps in after Evelyn begins to drown and unwraps Colton’s feed from the pond’s grasp before he’s taken to another time period.

“The white witch, she saved us,” Evelyn says as they surface. “Evelyn we’re never going near this pond ever again,” a young Colton responds.
