7 details you might have missed in the latest episode of '1923'

At the very beginning of the episode, Cara (Helen Mirren) expressed her worry over Jacob (Harrison) dismounting his horse too quickly, lest he hurt himself. He assured her that he is careful and his days of jumping from his horse are long over.

Elsewhere, while in Bozeman, there is a moment where Jacob sauntered across the road with no regard for the oncoming traffic.

"Jacob, I swear you'll get yourself killed by one of those motor wagons," Cara cried out, which elicited a smirk from her husband.

On the morning of the shootout that leaves many of his family injured and dead, Jacob's mortality was brought up again, when Cara stated that: "Greed will be the thing that kills us all."

Although she is purportedly talking about the world in a larger sense (she had just ranted about the razor companies that have created a market for women shaving their body hair) it's hard not to tie it to Jacob's own greed and desire to own as much of the land in Montana as he can to build up their family legacy.

At the very end of the episode, Cara speculated in her letter to her nephew that Jacob will be dead by the time he receives it, but it's possible given Jacob's knack for surviving death, that he may manage to overcome his injuries.

While in Bozeman, Jack (Darren Mann) and Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) pay a visit to a secret underground bar where drinking and dancing are in full swing despite the fact that the sale of alcoholic beverages were illegal at the time in America.

Unsure what to order, the babyfaced Jack asked the bartender what everyone else is drinking, to which he replied: "Gin Rickeys for the men and Bee's Knees for the ladies."

Both of these drinks are real cocktails that boomed in popularity during the American prohibition, which lasted for 13 years between 1920 and 1933, and are gin-based since that was the most popular spirit at the time thanks to its relative cheapness and easiness to make.

When viewers catch up with Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) and his new companion, Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), they have traveled to a British territory located in East Africa, known as Tanganyika.

Spencer has once again been hired to catch a man-eating creature, however, this time it's a hyena who has been attacking railroad workers. But before he sets off on the hunt, they take a trip in his truck to see a local phenomenon.

"Do you believe Darwin saying that we come from monkeys and all mankind began right here?" Alexandra questioned him.

In response, Spencer told her: "I can show you a place where the footprints of a child are baked into a lava rock."

They then go visit the site of the prehistoric footprints.

According to National Geographic, there are indeed such footprints in Tanzania, the modern-day name for the British territory where Spencer and Alex find themselves. Although it's not clear if these are the exact footprints referenced on the show, they do date back to over 3.5 million years ago — the "dawn of man," as Alex called it.

Viewers are already aware that some of Spencer's kit has sentimental value, such as the knife he uses that was gifted to his late sister Elsa by a member of the Comanche tribe.

However, in this episode, we saw him refuse to leave the wilderness after being rescued without his rope.

"My God, man, I'll buy you another rope!" his employer, Richard Holland (Nick Boraine), cried, hurrying him to make a speedy exit.

"No, this one's lucky," Spencer responded, taking the time to untie it and gather it up before attaching it back to his belt, right next to Elsa's knife.

Audiences have seen Spencer use the rope a number of times already, but its significance hasn't really been shown. We can only assume this means that the rope will come into play further down the line and be used to get Spencer out of the stickiest of situations.

However, it wasn't the brother we expected.

"My father had three children. Only one would live to see their own children grown," Elsa (Isabel May) said in her voiceover in episode one. "Only one would carry the fate of this family through the depression and every other hell the 20th century hurled at them."

Since those ominous words were uttered, audiences have been on the edge of their seats, wondering who, when, how, and why either Spencer or John Sr. (James Badge Dale) would meet their maker — and we certainly didn't anticipate it happening so soon.

It seems that this means that Spencer will now return to the ranch to take over from his older brother, fulfilling his fate to lead the ranch "through the depression and every other hell the 20th century hurled at them."

They might have only known each other for a matter of days, even hours, but things moved quickly between Spencer and his new British love that by the afternoon of their drive into the country, they were not only engaged but discussing their future children too.

In a touching moment, Alex told Spencer: "When I first met you all I saw was this sullen man. I see the boy in you now. I see our boy in you."

Spencer agreed, responding: "I see him in you."

It might have been a brief exchange, but discussing their unborn — perhaps even unconceived — future child feels prophetic, and gives the audience the sense that their offspring will be just as fearless as the two of them.

It seems pretty fitting that their son could be John Dutton II, the father of "Yellowstone" protagonist, John Dutton III (Kevin Costner.)

Does this mean that the Dutton lineage is going to continue with Spencer rather than John's son, Jack? Given that Jack's fiancée Elizabeth was shot in the stomach, it seems possible but throws everything we thought we knew about the Dutton family tree into question.

At the end of the episode, the story returned to the moment that served as a cold open to "1923," which saw Cara hunt down an Irish farmer to exact revenge for her family.

Their exchange, which saw the unnamed father warn Cara she would go to hell rather than heaven if she shot him, is now imbued with much more meaning.

We understand why Cara questions what this man could possibly know about heaven and who gets to enter it, given the senseless atrocities he and his fellow farmers have committed against her close-knit family.

Just like in the opening scene of the series, we see Cara scramble to reload her gun before he does, but with the added satisfaction that we know she manages to beat him to it.
