Isn’t it funny how love works? One moment, it’s the sweetest thing, and the next, it’s a battlefield. You know, like trying to find a needle in a haystack or walking on a tightrope over a canyon. It’s messy, it’s painful, and yet, we can’t seem to look away. That’s the beauty of the love story between Spencer and Alex in 1923 season 2.
Spencer Dutton, rugged and resolute, has a promise to keep—to save his family’s Montana ranch, yes, but also to reunite with Alex, the love of his life. Meanwhile, Alex is out there, bruised and battered but undeterred, fighting tooth and nail to be with him. With every passing mile, their fate seems more uncertain, yet their bond is undeniable.
As Brandon Sklenar, who portrays Spencer, hinted, this love story will culminate in a tragic yet joyous conclusion—a bittersweet cocktail of emotions that leaves you teary-eyed, but in a good way. And while Taylor Sheridan’s pen has never been afraid of weaving complex endings, it’s clear we’re in for something unforgettable.
1923 season 2: The heart-wrenching journey of Spencer and Alex
When Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 returns with its second season, it’s hard to ignore the palpable tension between Spencer and Alex. As the old proverb goes, “Love is not a bed of roses,” and for this couple, their love is anything but simple. Alex’s journey in season 2 is a tough one, marked by physical and emotional bruises.
In episode 4, she fights for survival, finding herself in a perilous situation at Grand Central Station. Despite the terrifying confrontation, Alex (played by Julia Schlaepfer) doesn’t give up—she’s driven by one thing: love. She’s headed straight toward Spencer, even if it feels like the universe itself is conspiring against her.
Meanwhile, Spencer’s journey isn’t any easier. After months of grueling labor on a ship, he’s physically transformed. But his drive isn’t just about survival—it’s about love and duty. Brandon Sklenar, 34, himself mentioned (via THR) how Spencer’s commitment to the people he loves is inseparable from his promise to protect them.
His commitment to the people he loves, and it’s unwavering. It’s rooted in his feeling of responsibility to protect these people and make sure they’re OK, and show them how much he loves and cares about them. So they are one and the same.
It’s clear: his love and duty to his family are intertwined in a way that’s impossible to separate.
Did Brandon Sklenar tease an emotional finale for Spencer and Alex in 1923?
Brandon Sklenar’s remarks hint at a finale that’s sure to tug at our heartstrings. In his words, Spencer and Alex’s story will be “all the things,” a mix of joy and sorrow that keeps us hanging on until the very end. The actor, who also starred in It Ends with Us, told THR with complete confidence:
I think everyone who watches it is going to be moved by it. I’m supremely confident that people will love the arc of every character in the show. Taylor delivered over and above in these pages and in the way he wrote this.
Taylor Sheridan, known for his knack for stirring up raw, emotional moments, has promised something truly moving. While Sklenar’s cryptic words leave much to the imagination, there’s no doubt that 1923 season 2 will deliver an ending that’s as poignant as it is powerful.
As the season nears its end, we can’t help but ask: is this really the conclusion to Spencer and Alex’s story? In the same interview, Sklenar assured us that the saga isn’t quite over yet. “This story is going to continue one way or another,” he confidently shared, suggesting that even if season two is the end of 1923, the Duttons’ tale will go on—perhaps in spinoffs or sequels.
Ergo, it’s safe to say that Sheridan has built a world we can’t let go of anytime soon.
1923 is streaming on Paramount+.
