• Cara Dutton, portrayed by Helen Mirren, stood up for her family as a range war broke out in Montana on Sunday's episode of 1923 on the Paramount+ streaming service.

The season one episode titled War And The Turquoise Tide showed the embattled Dutton family matriarch sending a letter to her nephew Spencer Dutton [Brandon Sklenar] as he frolicked on a secluded beach in Africa with his fiancée Alexandra [Julia Schlaepfer].

The prequel series episode opened with Cara in anguish as she cleaned up blood in the kitchen at Yellowstone Ranch after an ambush by Banner and his sheepherders killed John Dutton Sr and Bob Strafford and left her husband Jacob [Harrison Ford] and Elizabeth badly wounded.

Ranch foreman Zane Davis [Brian Geraghty] offered to finish cleaning, but Cara instructed him to send off her letter to Africa.

Zane suggested they send the message by wire, but Cara shut him down.

'Can't send a wire  ...because then the world will know. We will ignore that this has happened. Never speak to it of anyone,' Cara told him.

Zane warned that Jacob's absence would be noticed at the upcoming Livestock Association meeting and Cara said she would go in his place.

'Mail the letter,' Cara told him.

Cara said that Jacob survived the night and Zane suggested that she say her goodbyes since hope could be a dangerous thing.
