In season 1, she returns to her family's farm in Port Haven, New Brunswick, with her daughter Alice, and begins to uncover secrets about the pond that allows travel through time. The season 1 finale reveals that Jacob followed a stray dog to the pond, fell in, and was sent back to 1790. In seasons 2–4, Kat interacts with Jacob as a mature man in 1814 and the present, and also forms a friendship with Susanna Augustine, Elliot's ancestor. Her love life is complicated by her feelings for Elliot Augustine in the present and Thomas Coyle in the past.
