We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Way Home Episode 9 ends with a tunnel explosion, a gunshot, and two actors delivering some of the best silent acting this show has ever put on screen. We watched it multiple times. We cried multiple times. And we still have questions.We cover everything in this one: the fan mail that perfectly sums up how confusing The Way Home has gotten, the Fern-Katherine reunion that wrecked Andrea, Griffin earning a possible spot as the worst character in the show's history, and the ending that had us texting each other in all caps. We also get into the fan theories going around right now about what The Way Home actually is, whether it's a coma dream, a book, or something far weirder. And we make the case that Kat has had more chemistry with Suzanna and Thomas than she's ever had with Elliot. We stand by it.One episode left. Two hours.
