Yellowstone 1923 has seen Jacob Dutton bounce back after enduring a series of seemingly fatal chest blows. The prequel to Yellowstone is heating up as the land feud between the Duttons and other ranchers begins to escalate.

Audiences were taken aback to see Jacob Dutton (portrayed by Harrison Ford) hale and hearty in the second season, following his involvement in a massive shootout in the debut season.

The premiere episode of season two delved into how Jacob and Cara (played by Helen Mirren) were each grappling with their own unique challenges - while Jacob was tied up with errands in town, Cara was battling the elements to safeguard the ranch. Both continue to face the repercussions of Donald Whitfield's (Timothy Dalton) scheme, as he pledges to open up the ranch to the upper crust.

Here's everything you need to know about Jacob's connection to James Dutton (Tim McGraw) from 1883.

1923 traces the journey of the second generation of Duttons through the trials of the Great Depression and Prohibition in Montana. The inaugural episode revealed how Jacob and his wife Cara (Helen Mirren) had assumed control of the ranch from their immediate family.
