Hey everyone – Alex and Jerry here, and this week we’re diving deep into 1923, Season 2, Episode 4: The River of Iron. This episode finally gives us a bit of an "upbeat" vibe… well, relatively speaking. From intense moments on the ranch to Spencer’s ongoing saga of chaos and survival, there’s a lot to unpack – and we break it all down.

We talk through Alexandra’s brutal run-in (literally), Tiona’s near moment of peace, and Whitfield’s not-so-subtle pitch to bring a ski resort straight into Yellowstone territory. The tension is rising, lines are being drawn, and nobody is safe – especially if your name isn’t Dutton. Oh, and don’t miss the return of the infamous "train station" concept. You know what that means.
