Does Taylor Sheridan enjoy hurting me? What have I done to him that causes him to inflict such pain upon me? The sixth episode of season 2 of 1923 is titled “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters” and it is completely fitting for this gut punch of an episode.
Last week the show left me feeling hopeful. Spencer was on his way home and Alex was saved by nice a British couple. I thought Pete might have gotten that rotten Marshall. All seemed right in the world. Then, then…episode 6 happened. We start off the episode with a nice family meal and the Sheriff lets Jacob know that Spencer is on his way home. That means all hands-on deck as Whitfield and Banner have men that will be waiting for him at the station.
We learn about Pete’s fate immediately. Marshal Kent killed him, and Father Renaud has had enough and kills Marshal Kent. I can live with that, goodbye Marshal Kent, I hated you. Father Renaud catches up with Rainwater and her father after they find Pete’s body and Father Renaud kills her father, but she gets the drop on him and takes Father Renaud out. The acting here was phenomenal. I am happy Rainwater is “free”, but she lost the two people that loved her the most and she is all alone. Hopefully no one comes looking for her.
Spencer is delayed due to the weather, but he is still making his way home. He meets a woman at the train station (was that Sophia Bush?) and I am sure there will be more there. It better not be romantic because Alex is still fighting her way to him.
The British couple like a bunch of idiots thought they could drive her to Montana, and they froze to death in the car when they ran out of gas. The last gas attendant told them to take the train but they did not listen so Alex is out in the middle of nowhere about to freeze to death herself. Not sure how she plans to get out of this one.
If all of that was not enough for an episode, Jack was shot by Banner’s men because he made an idiotic decision to travel to the station after Jacob alone. He cannot be dead right? He survived the two gunshots? If Jack is dead, Banner and Whitfield, I might have to pray for them. Even if he survives, the beating Spencer is going to give them will be the chef’s kiss.
I am on the edge of my seat and cannot wait for next week. What did you think? Drop a comment and vote in our poll!
