The Yellowstone prequel series 1923 has returned with episode two on The Paramount Network and Paramount Plus, bringing with it an intriguing twist from the first season. The latest instalment saw Harrison Ford's character, Jacob Dutton, visit town for errands and discuss the troubled fate of Zane Davis (played by Brian Geraghty) with a local judge.

After sustaining a severe injury, Zane found himself hospitalized, while his family grappled with their own predicament—arrest and detainment. Seeking to unburden the State, Jacob suggested assuming custody of the Davis family.

Described as the 'Rip Wheeler' of this era, Zane is a deeply committed foreman at the iconic Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. Alongside his wife Alice Chow (portrayed by Joy Osmanski) and their two children Matthew and Madelyn, Zane navigates trials in a world less than kind to their interracial union.

The season one finale shockingly revealed that Zane's marriage to Alice, who is Asian, led to their apprehension under Montana's anti-miscegenation laws—an attempt to defend his wife's honour marred by the prejudices of the time.

Brian Geraghty expressed the emotional weight of the storyline, sharing with Woman's World: "It's a meaningful storyline for me because it's actually personal in my own life. I had the privilege to learn about that and what it would have been like or what it's like today.
