1923 continues to break hearts in its second season, and the sixth episode, which aired on March 30, 2025, was no exception. As expected from creator Taylor Sheridan, no one is safe in the Wild West — and this episode delivers a chilling reminder of that truth.
The episode opened with the aftermath of the cliffhanger shootout from the previous episode. Pete Plenty Clouds (Jeremy Guana) and Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) faced off, but the tragic consequence was the death of Pete, who was shot and killed during the altercation.
Father Renaud Takes Justice into His Own Hands
Pete’s death sparked a transformation in Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché), who realized the true nature of Marshal Kent’s actions. Having witnessed the body count that Kent has left behind in the hunt for Teonnah (Aminah Nieves) since Season 1, Renaud saw Kent for what he really was — a murderer. After Kent spat at him and told him to “go f— yourself,” Renaud decided to take matters into his own hands. He shot Kent dead on the spot, setting the stage for his continued pursuit of Teonnah.
Renaud’s descent into vengeance reflects the larger theme of 1923 Season 2 — the blurring lines between justice, vengeance, and survival in a ruthless, untamed world.
Tragedy Strikes in Montana
Meanwhile, in Montana, Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) are waiting for the return of Spencer (Brandon Sklenar), but tragedy is not far behind. Jacob and two other men head to the Livingston train station to ensure Spencer’s safe arrival, while Jack (Darren Mann) stays behind, per his great-uncle’s instructions, to protect the house and the women. However, Jack’s guilt and sense of duty push him to disregard Jacob’s orders, and he sets off to join Jacob at the train station.
On his journey, Jack encounters two men posing as deputies, who are actually working for Whitfield. They shoot Jack point-blank, killing him instantly. The death is swift, and the shock of losing Jack in such a brutal manner is felt deeply. Actor Darren Mann shared his grief with PEOPLE, saying, “There must’ve been four or five people who went down just right there in that one episode. Death everywhere.” Jack’s loss is a major turning point in the series, as his death brings unimaginable pain to the Dutton family.
Teonnah’s Final Confrontation
The episode then shifts to Teonnah and her father, Runs His Horse (Michael Spears), who are both grieving Pete’s death in the desert. As they try to come to terms with the loss, Father Renaud sneaks up on them and shoots Runs His Horse dead, waking a panicked and heartbroken Teonnah.
In a powerful moment of rage and determination, Teonnah confronts Renaud. Her anger and years of abuse give her the strength to overpower the priest. She burns his face with embers from a fire, stabs him multiple times, and finally shoots him dead. Teonnah’s victory is both a personal triumph and a heartbreaking loss, as she is now free from her pursuers, but at the cost of losing everyone close to her.
Setting the Stage for a Vengeful Finale
With the deaths of five major characters, including Jack, Father Renaud, and Pete Plenty Clouds, the episode sets the stage for a bloody and vengeful finale to 1923 Season 2. The Duttons will now face the tragedy of Jack’s death as they continue to protect their ranch, while Teonnah is free to continue her journey but haunted by the destruction that followed her.
The episode’s heartbreaking deaths are a testament to the unforgiving nature of the Wild West and the consequences of living in a world where survival often means sacrificing everything. As the season draws to a close, viewers are left to wonder how the remaining characters will navigate the chaos and tragedy that has unfolded.
