In 1923 season 2, Alexandra of Sussex (Julia Schlaepfer) is on a mission to reunite with Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar), but in episode 4, she is heading further away from him. Alex’s journey in 1923 season 2 has been heartbreaking to the extent that it can be hard to watch. 1923 season 2, episode 4, follows up on Alex’s ominous cliffhanger, with a sinister stranger following her into the bathroom at Grand Central Station. Despite a dire beating, Alex made it on her train at the last moment, throwing her bag and leaping onto the platform in an incredible feat.
However, Alex has a long journey ahead. After getting on the train, Alexandra makes the long walk to her sleeper car, which she shares with a mother and her children. The bruises that Alex wears are a physical reminder of how harrowing her journey has been so far. Still, she perseveres, driven by her will to return to the love of her life. Alex and Spencer met in 1923 season 1. Theirs is one of the Yellowstone franchise’s best love stories. Still, Alex only gets further from the man she loves in “Journey the Rivers of Iron.”
1923 Season 2 Is Taking Alexandra Even Farther From Spencer
Alex Dutton Is Heading To Boston In 1923
In 1923 season 2, episode 4, Spencer’s wife gets on a train heading to Boston, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, that means Alex is heading further east, traveling in the opposite direction of Montana, where she will reunite with Spencer. While Alex will connect with a westbound train in Boston that’s heading to Billings, Montana, it’s challenging to know that Alex still isn’t in the clear yet, especially after suffering a harrowing beating in the restroom. Watching Alexandra of Sussex fight her way home to her husband has been inspiring, and she’s only a fraction of the way through her journey.
Alex has a humiliating experience at Ellis Island and barely makes it out of New York City, though she continues fighting.
Under the dire circumstances she faces, I would feel better knowing that Alex was heading west — allowing her to truly move past all the life-threatening travel interchanges that have thrust her into danger so far. Alex has a humiliating experience at Ellis Island and barely makes it out of New York City, though she continues fighting. Alex’s bad luck started with her and Spencer’s journey in 1923 season 1. The pair were shipwrecked on a decrepit tugboat and stranded in international waters. Then, the couple got separated in 1923 season 1’s ending, causing their troubles in season 2.
Is Alexandra Finally Safe In 1923 Season 2?
There’s No Way
Unfortunately, it’s far too soon to say that Alexandra Dutton is out of harm’s way. 1923 season 2 has made it abundantly clear that Spencer’s wife isn’t safe traveling alone and has a long journey ahead of her. First, Alex will arrive in Boston, requiring another stop at a busy train station. Hopefully, Alex has learned to watch her back after New York City, but even then, she could be overpowered again like she was in episode 4. Beyond that, Alex Dutton star Julia Schlaepfer commented that Alex hadn’t seen the worst yet in 1923 season 2, episode 4:
After Ellis Island, she feels a little like, ‘OK, I can do this. I did that on my own. I didn’t have anyone protecting me. Spencer wasn’t here. I survived the unimaginable. This is the worst thing that possibly could have happened. Alex goes into Season 2 naive to what the world is like. She doesn’t fully understand it. And then, in Grand Central she gets these bits of kindness from the newsstand man and the Grand Central worker. I think it’s this moment of like, ‘OK, people are good. People are OK, and not all bad… I think she thinks she is through the worst of it… She is continuously, this season, digging deeper to find her will to keep going.
In a TV Line interview, Schlaepfer commented that Alex thinks she’s through the worst of it, implying that sinister challenges lie in wait for Spencer’s wife. While it was fantastic to watch Alex board the train at the last minute, she had all her money and valuables stolen, leaving her with no resources for food or passage from Billings to Bozeman. Alex must encounter more kind humans like the ones she met at the newsstand and the Grand Central ticket booth to help her complete her 1923 journey, and she will have to find the willpower to continue.
