The first season of 1923 shocked everyone with its great storytelling, all thanks to Taylor Sheridan, the genius creator behind the lens. So, evidently, the same anticipation took place when the show came back for a second season with an even more complex story about the fictional Dutton family. But along with everyone else, the fans are eager to know how the story of Donald Whitfield will end in the show.
The wealthy businessman has positioned himself as the most dangerous enemy of the Duttons and has used everything in his power to push them to the brink. But just like any other villain out there, fans are wondering what his end will be like in Season 2.
Not only that, but a Reddit user detailed a theory on how he should die, and it’s safe to say that the theory has the capability to be one of the most satisfying endings out there.
Could this be a perfect ending for Donald Whitfield?
Everyone is glued to their screens, eager to see what happens next in the gripping saga of 1923, brought to life by Taylor Sheridan. The show is currently running its second season, and it’s safe to say that things are not looking good for some characters. While Elizabeth Strafford is getting hate for all the wrong reasons, fans are more concerned about how Sheridan will bring down the villain of the century, Donald Whitfield.
Played by Timothy Dalton, the character is the most formidable enemy anyone could ask for and has caused plenty of damage to earn this title. While many assume that Spencer Dutton or another member of the Dutton family will bring him down, one fan on Reddit has their own theory, suggesting that his fate could be decided by a far less expected source—his own victims.

In the show, fans have witnessed several of Whitfield’s strategies to take down the Dutton family at any cost. But what also caught everyone’s attention was how he abused the women in his home, keeping them in horrifying conditions with no way to escape. The show also presented the graphic nature of these scenes, sparking a lot of debate online.
Some believe that these scenes add nothing to the storyline, while others think they serve a purpose in establishing just how cruel the character can be.
However, according to one Reddit user, these moments may actually be setting the stage for Whitfield’s downfall.

Instead of the Duttons delivering justice, it could be the women he abused who end his reign of terror. While this is not confirmed, it would surely be a satisfying way for the character to meet his end.
Was Brandon Sklenar intentionally matching his brooch with Justin Baldoni?
The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni lawsuit is gaining momentum with each passing day. Every now and then, a new piece of information emerges, adding to the media buzz. While Anna Kendrick has smartly avoided commenting on the controversy, actor Brandon Sklenar was recently questioned about his choice of accessory at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Currently, Sklenar is being praised for his role in 1923, but because of his involvement in It Ends With Us, he has also been pulled into the ongoing controversy. At the party, people noticed a brooch he was wearing that was completely identical to the one Baldoni had worn earlier at It Ends With Us’s New York City premiere.
Evidently, speculations started running high about a possible deeper meaning behind the matching accessories. However, Sklenar dismissed the entire idea and clarified via People that the selection of the brooch was purely coincidental. He had chosen the accessory only because it matched his outfit.
