This is not Node.js specific, it's just how JavaScript works. FYI, if you add an await in your return statement:

async function foo() {
    throw new Error('Foo');
}

async function bar() {
    try {
        return await foo();
    } catch (e) {
        return 2;
    }
}

(async () => {
    const d = await bar();
    console.log(d);
})();
