The Way Home has aired its fourth season, with episode 5 titled "Don't Cry Out Loud" and episode 10 being a super-sized sendoff. The storyline involves the mystery of a character named Tessa, who is Elliott's mother, and it appears that her whereabouts are a focus of the show. It is unclear what happens to Tessa, as some reports suggest a major character may have been killed off, but the outcome is not certain.
