1923s finale stole the best moment from the end of1883,Yellowstonescreenwriter Taylor Sheridans earliest Dutton prequel.
Moments later, Spencer heroically saved the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
Still, Alexs story had a silver lining.1923s finale shows Alex and Spencer in the afterlife after Spencers death.
Alex chides Spencer, saying,Took you long enough,implying that she has been waiting.
The scene recreates Elsa and Sams best moments.
However, unlike Alex Duttons death,Elsa Duttons death in1883was cushioned by a genuinely beautiful journey.

WhileElsas1883deathwas quite possibly the saddest in theYellowstonefranchise, her untimely ending was earned.
If Alex had died at the end of1923season 1, that would have been one thing.
Like Elsa, Alexs story in1923season 1 earns her tragedy, getting separated from Spencer.
1923 is a series following the Dutton family during the early twentieth century. It explores the challenges they face amidst pandemics, the end of Prohibition, historic drought, and the Great Depression, as they struggle to maintain their home in the mountain west.
After Alexs series of grave events in season 2, I expected more wins in Alexs story.
