The highly popular Yellowstone spinoff 1923 has wrapped up its first season, and viewers are still reeling from the intense finale. While there were plenty of heartbreaking cliffhangers and treacherous uncertainty this season, there was a beacon of hope amid all the chaos.
That hope comes in the form of Teonna Rainwater, the breakout Indigenous character played by Aminah Nieves. Throughout the season, viewers have watched as Teonna endures countless hardships, only to discover in the final episode that she’s a true survivor.
But there is one scene in the first season of 1923 that Nieves admitted almost “broke” her on the Yellowstone prequel.
