1923 Just Hinted at the Answer to a Major John Dutton Mystery

In more straightforward terms, the latest season of Yellowstone has concluded, and the character played by Kevin Costner, John Dutton III, met his end (controversially, due to events not depicted on screen).

However, it’s important to note that even though he may no longer be present in the series, his impact on the larger TV franchise remains significant. With the debut of 1923 season 2 episode 1, a significant question surrounding his character could potentially be resolved.

Following the initial season released in 2022, the second season of 1923 introduces us once more to the characters of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as Jacob and Cara Dutton. Their mission this time is to safeguard their ranch from the grasping and ruthless Donald Whitfield who seeks control over it.

Spencer Dutton, their nephew, has concluded his stay in Africa and is rushing from one continent to another to get back to the valleys of Montana at the earliest opportunity.

In a similar vein, Alexandra, Montana-bound, was previously separated from her husband at sea. Due to this unexpected situation, she found herself temporarily staying with her family in England.

In the upcoming Season 2 of 1923, it appears that the individual paths taken by the couple, both leading to the same destination, will significantly impact the storyline during at least the initial episodes. This is particularly significant given that Alexandra announced in the premiere of this season that she’s expecting a child, which adds urgency to her reunion with Spencer.

The disclosure is certain to intensify the emotional impact on Alexandra’s journey, as Spencer remains unaware of it. Furthermore, this revelation may also clarify the lineage of Costner’s deceased Dutton patriarch – a long-standing enigma concerning his character.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’ve been captivated by the intricate Dutton family saga since its inception in 1923. Over the years, fans like myself have been on an engaging quest to unravel the enigmatic Dutton family lineage. The challenge lies in understanding precisely how the Duttons portrayed in the prequel series tie into the complex and dysfunctional family depicted in the main storyline. It’s a puzzle that keeps us hooked!

What has been established is that John Dutton III, as portrayed by Costner, is indeed the son of John Dutton II (depicted in flashbacks from the main Yellowstone series). However, we’re still unsure about who John Dutton II’s father is, which remains a crucial aspect of the overall storyline.

In light of our current understanding of the family tree, it’s plausible that Costner’s character is either the grandchild of Jack and Elizabeth (who had a miscarriage at the end of the first season), or the child of Spencer and Alexandra, who are now confirmed to be pregnant.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d put it this way: Spencer and Alexandra are strongly contending for the title of my potential grandparents in the Dutton family saga, given that their offspring, John Dutton, has become quite renowned on the big screen.

Indeed, there’s no absolute confirmation, but the prequel series has so far provided the strongest evidence that Jack and Elizabeth might one day have a child who becomes John Dutton II. At this moment, this is the most solid lead we have on the matter. However, as new episodes unfold, things could change.

Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan often surprises audiences with unexpected plot twists, and it’s possible that he has more up his sleeve in the near future.
