'1923' Season 1 Ending, Explained: How It Sets The Stage For '1944', 'The Madison' And 'Yellowstone'
The Dutton story stretches across generations and a lot of what happens in season one of 1923 directly connects to Taylor Sheridan's upcoming spinoffs 1944, The Madison, and of course, the acclaimed series, Yellowstone. 1923 sees the Dutton family's story defined by sacrifice, resilience and their unyielding determination to protect their land and legacy. From Spencer's exhausting journey back to Montana, to Teonna's harrowing life on the run and industrialists that threaten to dismantle the Yellowstone ranch, the storylines perfectly connect characters across time and also echo struggles that several generations of the Dutton family and Broken Rock Reservation natives have faced. Below, we piece how Sheridan has connected the ending of season one of 1923 to storylines and characters across generations. By the end of first season of 1923, Elizabeth suffers a miscarriage. Jack gently suggests that perhaps her destiny isn't to have children of her own, but to care for someone else's. This mirrors Beth Dutton's storyline in Yellowstone — where she is unable to have children due to a life-altering decision made by Jamie without her consent. Later in the series, Beth essentially adopts a young boy named Carter, continuing the theme of motherhood taking unconventional forms, which is the case with Cara and Spencer. Spencer is haunted by vivid flashbacks from his time fighting in WWI, and trauma plays a large role in shaping his character. These flashbacks also foreshadow the upcoming spinoff series, 1944; having fought in WWI, before the events of 1923, it is entirely possible that Spencer may be called to serve again in WWII. Financial hardship is a reoccurring challenge for the Dutton family in 1923. In Yellowstone, the family constantly battles to keep up with the rising taxes and overdue payments on the land. These same pressures exist in 1923, and by the end of the season, Whitfield sneakily pays off the Dutton ranch's tax debt, which put the family in debt to him. Similarly, the struggle of being in arrears is known all too well by John and Beth, who struggle to make payments in present day. One of the longest-running struggles in the Dutton universe is the relentless fight to keep the Yellowstone ranch in the family. In 1923, that threat comes to a head when Donald Whitfield (a wealthy, evil mining tycoon) uses violence, manipulation, money and legal influence to take the Dutton land. He represents the beginning of new age industrialists who don't care for tradition and wish to use the land for business purposes. In Yellowstone, it's a similar story as forces such as Dan Jenkins, the state government and market equities all pressure the Dutton family into selling their land or taking it by force. The Dutton family's fight for Yellowstone is ultimately one that sees them preserve their identity and way of life after fighting so hard to earn it. A large part of season one saw Teonna Rainwater endure horrific abuse at an American Indian boarding school for girls, which causes her to kill two nuns and flee the school. Now on the run, her fight for survival is filled with danger and despair as she nearly gives up on several occasions. While her fate in season two is still yet to unfold, it's likely that her determination and efforts led to the continuation of her family tree to live on. Ultimately, this leads to Chief Thomas Rainwater in Yellowstone. Like Teonna, Thomas carries the same resilience as her, as he is chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock.

Michelle Pfeiffer Will Lead 'Yellowstone' Spin-Off 'The Madison'
The Yellowstone spin-off formerly known as 2024 has a new, trend-breaking title: The Madison. Although Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan has shown quite the penchant for numeric titles in prior spin-offs of his hit western drama (see: 1883, 1923, and the reportedly forthcoming 1944), the first contemporary offshoot to follow Yellowstone's grand season 5 finale will take a different approach to its name—and its story. The Madison will reportedly follow not the flagship series's Dutton family (or, anyway, not only the Dutton family) but, rather, a group of New York transplants. Here's what little we know so far. Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Madison's official plot description is 'a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.' Although this logline points to a cast of characters apart from the Duttons, the Dutton line could still make an appearance, given their continued presence in Montana. As the Yellowstone season 5 finale outlines, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), now run a ranch in Dillon, Montana. They even have their own spin-off teed up with Paramount. Shall we take bets on a cross-over episode or two? In November 2024, Yellowstone and The Madison director Christina Alexandra Voros told Variety that 'the common ground' between the two shows 'is the landscape. We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished. There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being's place in that space, but it's coming at it from a completely different point of view.' Reports first circulated in 2023 that actor Matthew McConaughey would lead The Madison (then titled 2024) following Kevin Costner's contentious departure from Yellowstone. But that deal never came to light, and instead, actress Michelle Pfeiffer was eventually announced in 2024 as The Madison's lead actress. She will star alongside Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett, Ben Schnetzer, Amiah Miller, and Elle Chapman. The Madison is currently filming in Texas, but Paramount has yet to announce a release date for the series. This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Pride When the U.S. Army Goes Rolling Along
Regarding 'Patriotism and Protests Stir the Nation' (U.S. News, June 16): I want to land firmly on the 'pro' side and thank President Trump and the organizers. Every aspect of the parade touched me personally. My father enlisted in January 1944 and served in the Army until his death in 1973. While in the Counterintelligence Corps, he was awarded multiple medals including a Bronze Star, and he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I spent most of my childhood overseas, where an Army parade was a very anticipated and celebrated event, in part because there were none of the usual community activities enjoyed in civilian America. The parades always included marching soldiers in perfect cadence, a color guard carrying the U.S. and regimental flags, and a military band playing patriotic songs. At Christmas since there were no department stores featuring Santa Claus, he would arrive in a helicopter on the parade grounds.

High courts not custodian of revenue department, says Supreme Court; stays Bombay HC order
High courts are not the "custodian" of the revenue department, the Supreme Court has said while dealing with a petition challenging a Bombay High Court order that stayed a tribunal's direction for a refund of ₹256.45 crore to a firm. A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan observed that prima facie, the High Court could not have stayed the order after holding that the appeal filed by the Commissioner of CGST and Central Excise, Belapur Commissionerate, was not maintainable. "A high court is not the custodian of the revenue," the Supreme Court, which stayed the High Court's June 12 order, observed. "Prima facie, the high court could not have passed the order of stay after holding the appeal to be not maintainable and after recording that the writ petition and the appeal are disposed of as not pressed," the bench said in its order passed on June 20. The Supreme Court passed the order while hearing a plea filed by the firm, challenging the High Court order. The bench noted that the high court had disposed of a writ petition as well as an appeal filed by the revenue department. It also noted that the appeal was filed under section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944 against a January 2025 order of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) in Mumbai that allowed the Service-Tax appeal of the firm. The Supreme Court said subsequently, the company filed an application for the release of the amount, which was allowed in May. It noted that the high court had recorded in its June 12 order that both the petition and the appeal were "disposed of as not pressed with liberty to the respondent to prefer appeal before the Supreme Court, the High Court has stayed the direction of CESTAT for refund for a period of eight weeks". The bench issued a notice to the revenue department, seeking its response within six weeks on the firm's plea challenging the high court order. "In the meanwhile, impugned order of the high court dated June 12, 2025 shall remain stayed," the bench said. "This order shall, however, not preclude the respondent from filing appeal before this court under section 35L of the Central Excise Act, 1944, if not already filed, which shall be decided on its own merits and/or limitation," the bench said and posted the matter for further hearing on July 2.
