1923 Season 2 Episode 3 Plot Recap
Cara Dutton Doesn't Play Around
Following the cliffhanger ending of 1923 Season 2, Episode 2 (read more about its cast here) where Cara Dutton comes face to face with a wolf, "Wrap Thee in Terror" reveals that she prevailed, ultimately nailing the dead animal in a cross to serve as a warning to other wolves that the Yellowstone ranch is off limits.
After the nurse from the previous episode seemingly died off-screen due to the wolf, Cara helps the doctor and Spade to put some sense into Elizabeth, who is still grappling with the fact that she needs to be injected with a rabies shot 12 times in 10 days.
Elsewhere, Jacob Dutton and his troops manage to survive the harsh snow conditions, but the fight is far from over as they need to head back while tending to a still-injured Zane.
They arrive at the ranch just in time before Dr. Miller is about to leave. The good doctor checks on Zane, ultimately telling him that he has been diagnosed with subdural hematoma and the blood needs to be drained so he can be okay (read more about Zane's journey in 1923 Season 2).
The problem is Dr. Miller has no anesthesia to put Zane to sleep while he literally drills into his skull.
Meanwhile, Jack Dutton reunites with his wife Elizabeth who is now packing her things since she is determined to move back to Boston. It turns out that she has had enough of the ranch life, but she needs to finish her injection shots first before finally leaving.
Alexandra's Journey Continues
After a perilous journey in the Atlantic seas, Alexandra of Sussex (or should I say, Alexandra Dutton) has finally made it to New York. However, there are setbacks on her arrival.
After dealing with rude doctors and immigration officers, she is almost sent home because of a policy about pregnant women being sent back to their home country because they can't work.
In the final interview, she gives a brutally honest response about freedom and how women are treated right before they enter America, noting, "I would say this is the least free I have ever felt in my life. If you wish to deny me entry, deny it, but deny it with some courtesy."
Thankfully, her passionate speech gives her stamp of approval to enter New York before eventually finding her way to Grand Central Station where she buys her train ticket to Montana.
While she has smooth sailing after entering the United States, Alexandra's fate is uncertain after a shady man follows her in the bathroom of the train.
The Pursuit for Teonna Rainwater
While Teonna Rainwater doesn't appear on-screen, the character's storyline this episode is anchored by those pursuing her and her father, Runs His Horse.
In 1923 Season 2, Episode 2, Runs His Horse leaves Teonna and Pete Plenty Clouds to find a group of cowboys whom he deems as ranch owners to ask permission if they can stay on their land for the meantime.
Runs His Horse ends up finding the said cowboys and they agree with the native's request as long as he helps them run cattle right through where Teonna and Pete's camp is.
Meanwhile, US Marshal Mamie Fossett comes across a group of Comanche boys killed by the ruthless Father Renaud and Marshal Kent in the previous episode.
Fossett asks her translator (who is also a loyal enforcer) to tell the members of the tribe seeking revenge to stand down and leave it to her to deal with this fiasco.
Speaking of Renaud and Kent, the pair have already reached the Texas border where they talk about the importance of cowboys in the ever-changing landscape of the Midwest.
Spencer & Luca Have Their Own Set of Troubles
After a run-in with the Italian mob, Spencer and Luca are on a drive from Galveston to Fort Worth to deliver illegal booze in exchange for their freedom, but it appears that Spencer is not on board with the idea anymore due to a run-in with the border guards.
Luca tries to threaten him by pulling a gun on him, but Spencer quickly disarms him and asks to join him and look the other way.
However, family is at the top of Luca's priority list and he still engages in a shootout with the border guards which tragically kills him in the end.
New episodes of 1923 Season 2 premiere every Sunday on Paramount+ at midnight PT (read more about its official release schedule here).
