Who Is K.C. Goodwin?

     Author's Note: The character of K.C. Goodwin in "The Way Home" was introduced as a non-binary character on the show. Out of respect for both the character and their actress, this article will refer to K.C. using the terms "They/Them".

Author's Note: The title and content of this article has been updated to reflect that Vaughan Murrae's character is officially called "K.C. Goodwin".

During Season Two of "The Way Home", viewers were introduced to K.C. Goodwin (Vaughan Murrae), who claimed to be the grandchild of the recently deceased Evelyn Goodwin (Susan Hamann). While the season two finale hinted that Casey was not who they claimed to be when it was revealed that they were wearing a ring identical to the ring that Kat (Chyler Leigh) gave to Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), last night's episode (titled "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song") raised more questions about K.C.s identity. Near the end of the episode, Alice goes to The Point to meet with Noah (Alexander Eling). During their meeting, they are introduced to Max Goodwin, the grandson of Evelyn and son of Lewis Goodwin (Philip Riccio). Alice brings up K.C., only for Max to reveal that he's never heard of them. Assuming Max is telling the truth, this brings up a new set of questions about K.C.s identity. Here are what I would consider to be the most likely explanations.

1. They're Alice's child from the future

This would be the most likely explanation, given that K.C. was wearing the same ring as Alice during the season two finale. The only question is who is K.C.'s father? If it's Max, then K.C. would still be telling the ruth about being part of the Goodwin family; they would just be Evelyn's great grandchild instead grandchild. But if it's Noah, than that means K.C. lied about being a Goodwin. The only question is why.

2. They're Kat and Elliot's child from the future

While K.C. being Alice's child from the future seems to be the most popular theory regarding their identity, another possibility is that they are Kat and Elliot's child from the future. While this may seem unlikely at first (If Kat was eighteen years old in 1999, she would be forty-four in 2025), it isn't completely impossible. The main problem with this theory is why would K.C. go back in time to meet their own mother? 

So there you have it. Who do you all think Casey Goodwin is? Let me know in the comments below.
