The Yellowstoners, Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez, have returned to discuss the final two episodes of the hit Paramount+ prequel spin-off series, “1883,” entitled “Racing Clouds” and “This Is Not Your Heaven.” Suffice it to say, *spoilers follow,* for what was a very bold, shocking, and impressive, season finale, from writer/director/showrunner Taylor Sheridan.

Sheridan showed his hand with the finale of “1883,” and what the show was ultimately all about, and, boy, was it a heart-wrenching, brutal take on the journey that led the Duttons to their hallowed home and ranch. Ultimately, as predicted by former U.S. Army Captain/wagon master Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott), the cost of that journey was high as possible, with nary a soul left standing. If you were looking for huge emotional stakes, "1883" over-delivered on its promise of showing the heartless and savage side of nature along the Oregon Trail in the late 1800s.

In the final Yellowstoners episode of the season, we break down the events and emotions that came along with the final two episodes, what this means for the recently green-lit season two of “1883,” and how this reflects on the "Yellowstone" empire overall.

The question is less, “Who actually dies?!” and more, “Who actually lives?” Either way, the answer likely shocked viewers this past weekend, leading to a potential tissue shortage, at least in our homes. Let's just say this, Sheridan wasn't f*cking around and isn't afraid of killing off all your favorite characters. Less horsing around and more drama. 

This episode is something of a goodbye for now. "Yellowstone" probably won't return until summer 2022, so consider this something of a hiatus until then.
