Meanwhile, on the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, terrible things have happened to Elizabeth Strafford (Michelle Randolph), causing Jack Dutton’s (Darren Mann) sweetheart to have a difficult winter.

Elizabeth is threatened by a mountain lion in the premiere, and a rabid wolf bites her in 1923 season 2, episode 2. After receiving rabies shots in her stomach, held down against her will, Elizabeth vows to leave the ranch lifestyle behind her for good. While Jack’s wife gets good news in 1923 season 2, episode 4, possibly changing her trajectory, the chapter confirms the Yellowstone Ranch’s best path forward after 1923 season 2.

Despite their contrasting experiences, Alex and Elizabeth both have it rough in 1923 season 2. Therefore, for very different reasons, Alexandra and Elizabeth are both desperate to make it to Boston in 1923 season 2, episode 4.

For Alexandra, Boston is where she will arrive at a connecting train station, making an interchange to board a train heading west to Billings, Montana. Despite being beaten and robbed in the restroom, Alex’s dedication to reuniting with Spencer propels her forward through yet another dehumanizing experience, finding her will to continue in the memory of her husband and their intimate connection.

In contrast, Elizabeth is desperate to leave the Duttons’ ranch, and thereby her husband, in 1923 season 2. Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) tells Elizabeth that she can come back if she does leave, saying he doesn’t blame her for wanting to escape the snow. However, as far as we know, Elizabeth plans to board a train to Boston to flee the ranch in eight days.
