Did "The Way Home" Just Confirm This Theory About Casey Goodwin?

 Author's Note: The character Casey Goodwin from "The Way Home" is canonically non-binary and is referred to in the series by the pronouns they/then. Out of respect for both the character and their actor, this article will refer to Casey Goodwin by those same pronouns.

    Ever since the character Casey Goodwin (Vaughan Murray) was introduced during Season Two of Hallmark Channel's hit original series "The Way Home", fans have wondered who they might be. Initially introduced as the grandchild of the late Evelyn Goodwin, the Season Two finale hinted that Casey might not have completely honest about their identity when Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) noticed that Casey was wearing a ring on their necklace identical to the one that Alice got from her parents. This, along with the revelation in Season Three, Episode Four-"I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song"-that Evelyn apparently only had one grandchild, her grandson Max Goodwin, led Alice to speculate that Casey was actually a time traveler from the future. Well, the most recent episode of "The Way Home" might have just confirmed that theory. Titled "Tell Me Something Good", the episode has Casey return to Port Haven after having been absent for most of the season.  When Alice confronts them about lying about meeting Evelyn's grandchild, Casey claims that they are actually a second cousin of Max, seemingly putting to rest the theory about them being a time traveler. Towards the end of the episode, however, Alice confronts Casey again to ask them about the ring on their necklace. Casey tells Alice that they got it from their family. When Alice asks if they mean the Goodwin family, Casey says no and then runs away. Alice chases after them, only to see them jump into the pond and disappear. While we probably won't know for certain until at least the next episode, this would seem to confirm the theory about Casey being a time traveler.
