And he’s already started that by having one of his minions report the relationship of Dutton foreman Zane (Brian Geraghty) with Alice (Joy Osmanski), who’s Chinese-American. In Whitfield’s case, it’s a metaphor for what he plans to do to all his enemies: turn them against one another. There’s a lot to be said about how this (possibly gratuitous) display of sex contrasts with the other sex scenes on the show and how sex on “1923” is used to define power relations and reveal much about the characters. Timothy Dalton knows how to mustache-twirl better than anyone, even when he doesn’t have a mustache. He’s had one beat the other this whole time, but then he turns the tables, and when the submissive becomes the dominant, she’s even more brutal, in revenge for her own pain. These two had been lovers, and Whitfield’s aim seems really to be to turn them against one other, finding a way to turn love into hate. The final two episodes of Season 1 showed him getting his jollies by watching one sex worker brutally spank another in a shockingly graphic bit of BDSM voyeurism. It’s fascinating how quickly Whitfield (Dalton) has supplanted Jerome Flynn’s Banner Creighton as the main villain of the show - he was perfectly set up, Emperor Palpatine style, as the real evil force pulling all the strings. Those “Yellowstone” fans obsessed with the (to-this-point unclear) Dutton family tree, however, might be encouraged to think that this development means Spencer and Alex will be the progenitors of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III on “Yellowstone.” But it seems just as likely that this is misdirection and Jack and Liz will still be able to conceive down the road. After all, his Uncle Jacob (Ford) and Aunt Cara (Mirren) never had children, but they basically raised the entire Dutton clan into the powerhouse that it is. In one of the best scenes of the series, her husband Jack (Darren Mann) talked about how purpose can be found in so much more than just children - a necessary reminder from a show that puts so much stock in bloodlines. Liz (Michelle Randolph) suffered a miscarriage in the finale, and it now seems she may be unable to have children again. This is sort of a stand-in for all the storylines in the finale: something that could be a conclusion is really springboard to further stories down the road. But Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) is one step ahead of their plan: he figures they must be riding south, so he decides to get ahead of them by taking the train to Comanche territory so he’ll be waiting for our fugitives when they arrive. decide to ride far south to Comanche country, where they hope to blend in - going back to her father’s reservation was surely not an option. Marshals he’s now convinced to track her down. With her father and Pete, she stands a real fighting chance against Renaud and the U.S. Hank was killed in Episode 7, but a romance has blossomed between Teonna and Pete, and Teonna, mercifully, reunited with her father, Runs His Horse (Michael Spears). He will not be deterred in his pursuit of Teonna (Aminah Nieves), especially after she and her new allies (including Michael Greyeyes’ Hank and Hank’s son, Pete, played by Cole Brings Plenty) murder the three priests he sent after her. Teonnaįather Renaud (Sebastian Roche) is a demonic character who’d fit in nicely in a Cormac McCarthy novel. Here’s five bits of closure we got in the Season 1 finale and where we think the show might be heading next.
