After an epic, nearly two-hour episode, the 1923 season 2 finale closed the book on this chapter of the Dutton’s story and by all indications appeared to answer a question that many fans have had throughout the series — who are the grandparents of Yellowstone’s John Dutton?
While the show teased throughout that it was either Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) & Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) or Jack (Darren Mann) & Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph), the 1923 season 2 ending saw Alex give birth to her and Spencer’s son, who they name John. Though premature and at the cost of Alex’s life (she refused potentially life-saving treatment for her frostbite to give birth), baby John is alive and well at the conclusion of the series. Since we know that Yellowstone’s John Dutton’s father is also named John, that would seem to finally connect the dots in the Dutton family tree.
