Exploring New Theories About Del in The Way Home Season 3
Fans of The Way Home Season 3 have expressed mixed feelings regarding Del’s character. A fascinating theory has surfaced, suggesting that her younger self may not be who she appears to be. For context, Del serves as the matriarch of the Landry family, and her present-day persona strongly opposes the time-traveling escapades of Kat and Alice through the enchanted pond, wishing for both to refrain from interfering with past events.
In the unfolding 1974 timeline of Season 3, viewers are introduced to Del’s youthful counterpart, freshly arriving in Port Haven. In an unexpected twist, she aligns herself with Evelyn, whom she is thought to consider her rival, and experiences an instant attraction to Colton.
As complications arise—such as Jacob’s return and her secret relationship with Sam—Del faces numerous challenges irrespective of the timeline. However, a pivotal question remains: is Del truly the individual she insists she is?
Could Del Actually Be Susanna?
A thrilling fan theory proposes a striking possibility: Del might actually be Susanna, the wife of Cyrus Goodwin from the 1800s. In Season 2, Susanna becomes a pivotal figure as she befriends Kat during her attempts to rescue Jacob, leading viewers to wonder if there’s a deeper connection between the two women.
A curious fan pointed out an intriguing discrepancy: “Has it been mentioned that Del’s last name changed from Dawkins, as noted in the family book, to Delilah Watson when she introduced herself?” they queried on Facebook.“Her middle name is Rose. Watson Rose is Susanna. I believe the writers have left a clue that Susanna and Del are one and the same.”
Others echoed this sentiment, expressing a shared sense of mystery surrounding the characters.“I agree, but the connection is elusive—I feel like they must be linked somehow, ” stated one fan. Another suggested that the name change could be tied to a yet-unknown event in Del’s family history and theorized a potential familial link between Kat and Susanna.
So, does this line of reasoning provide enough evidence to validate the theory? Opinions vary. As one user noted, “There’s no indication of body switching; we’ve seen Del in three different timeframes, and she doesn’t resemble Susanna in any of them.”
Moreover, this theory is not the only one emerging around young Del and Susanna. In Season 3, Episode 4, viewers witness Del struggling with waves of sickness, leading to speculation about a possible pregnancy preceding either Jacob or Kat.
In contrast, Susanna is suspected to be the mysterious woman locked away in an attic. As with many plot lines in The Way Home, uncertainties abound, and we may not uncover the truth even by the end of Season 3.
As star Rob Stewart commented, “It’s all building up to a cliffhanger in Episode 10… when I say he isn’t who you think, I’m still waiting for Alexandra [Clarke] to clarify her take. I initially had ideas about his identity, which have since changed; the finale will definitely keep the audience guessing.” He added, “There are countless mysteries. Season 4 has a lot to unpack.”
For eager fans, Seasons 1 and 2 of The Way Home are currently available on the streaming app, with Season 3 releasing episodes weekly. For those craving similar storytelling, consider checking out Virgin River Season 7 or Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3.
