During Ep. 8 of 1883, viewers began to understand Elsa Dutton's journey through a very different lens: Their own lives.
What the Dutton daughter (played by Isabel May) is going through isn't all that different from what every American teenager goes through. She's young, headstrong and in love. During this episode of Dutton Rules: A Yellowstone 1883 Podcast, hosts Adison Haager and Billy Dukes find themselves in her and wonder aloud if we don't already know how this ends for the young dreamer.
The newest episode of 1883 also leaves behind two enormous Easter eggs in the way of a tribute to Yellowstone, creator Taylor Sheridan's first Western drama. The action focuses on Elsa and Sam (played by Martin Sensmeier) and their blossoming love for one another. It was a character building episode more than one with edge-of-the-seat action, which was necessary after the tornado and bandit attacks from Ep. 7.
This isn't to say there was no gunfire. The young couple go hunting and she kills a buffalo before learning about a tradition that's unlike any from where she came from. Right before the Q&A, learn about some breaking Yellowstone news with unknown implications for a bunkhouse favorite.
