Then gets himself killed by not making sure the one aggressor was dead?

Not to mention left his gun there to make sure the priest had to kill him with.

I checked to see what rail lines were available in Africa in 1923...there were trains in Kenya, wanted to see where they went.

I’ve seen the trains down in Africa

But, titties!

quality work

I was shocked as well….what I don’t understand at this point….was Spencer simply thrown off the ship?

Alexandra could get hold of the American Embassy in London and start raising all sorts of Hell….

I wonder of the old man will ever realize how badly he screwed up?

Based on the scene we’ve seen, he could have a DSC or even a Medal of Honor, papers on both sides of the Atlantic would have a field day with this scandal!!!!!!

I thought they called the ex-boyfriend the Duke of Sussex but later called Alex the Countess of Sussex. Seems a little close in title to each other.

I think Alex’s sea sickness may turn out to be pregnancy. The actor who plays Beth is British. It sort of connects to a British line in the family. The dudes story runs parallel to Casey and the next story 1944 will likely have a Dutton in WW2. So we have a Dutton in the Civil War, WW1, WW2 and not sure if one was in Vietnam?? And then Casey in the War in Afghanistan.

The prostitute scene is about showing the miner is not a gentleman and enjoys the power of hurting the weak. He has one prostitute whip another. Then he has the whipped then whip the whipper.
The 1st had a conscious. The whipped did not have the same conscious when she had the power to whip the person who whipped her.

Does this scene with him standing back and manipulating the interaction of the prostitutes also resemble the relationship between the miner and Banner and the Duttons. He is pulling the strings and enjoying the carnage and this episode shows Banner is a tool, but the real enemy is the miner and once again progress.

I think she makes it and with her family wealth bails the Duttons somehow in their debt to the dickhead miner.

I was thinking the same thing that she may be the means to save the ranch with her money.

Was not expecting that type of ending. The “Countess” angle sure does change things.

Like already stated, I think Alex is the financial part of the building the Yellowstone Empire as well as expanding it. The only questions now is how do the two reunite and how does she get her money. I have two theories already.
a. At the beginning of Season 2, we learn that the Earl has granted her release at the Port where Spencer was discharged from the ship and the two meet up and travel to London and meet mommy and daddy. Who after meeting Spencer and a brief conversation, they give their blessing to the marriage and possibly legalize the bond. Thus securing her future and current financial status. Then off to Montana with the aid of the British Royals.

b. Alex gets off the ship and goes back to mommy and daddy. While there, they have a disagreement about the events in Africa, but know the “wild spirit” that their daughter possesses and knows she will follow her own path. She tells them of the events of Africa, the Tug Boat, the duel, and the actions of the Earl. While in London, she learns she is pregnant. From there, her parents will fund and assist her venture to Montana (they won’t let her travel alone) or assist in locating Spencer.

This show had so much potential. We laughed out loud a few different times about the ridiculous scenes and conversations.

Almost every scene this episode was going to end in worse case scenario form. Just so predictable.

It's frustrating because they have the budget and the acting to do better, but insist on catering to the dumbed down soap opera crowd.
