In one of the episodes, in town, a friend of Jacob’s jokes around with him about being an Irishman.

Im so worried that kick to Alexs stomach could have ended her pregnancy. If the writers care about the ancestry staying consistent with Yellowstone then neither she nor Elizabeth will have children. That, or they will be killed off, perhaps in 1944.

Elizabeth isn’t an antivaxer. She is simply afraid of the needles and the pain. There are adults who have phobias about getting shots, even with small needles, in the arm where you barely feel them. I have a middle age friend with that phobia. It was an emotional ordeal for her to get her Covid 19 vaccines. Those were small needles too, and you barely feel a pin prick. Not those large honking needles pictured in the show, in your gut, going in deeply.

I had the thought too that the sketches could have resembled her better. Still with the number of posters put up the cowboys would have had to been daft to not notice. Given the number of posters put up and the marshal’s suspicions it would have been likely he had a talk with them to be on the lookout.

This is the best theory I’ve read so far. Granted, this season the show has been less that realistic, but being realistic that makes sense. I see a lot of comments in this sub where people fail to put themselves in the character’s place. For example, being obtuse as to why someone would be stressed out over large needles going into their gut. :-). I think this situation is another one. People just don’t kill people and have the experience roll off of them.

In nearly 100 years somebody would have cause to travel through that area and discover the bodies. There is always the federal government to call about crimes happening on a patch of land that doesn’t belong to any state.

The Irish aren’t Anglo-Saxons though.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

The Duttons. Conner was have a moment of reflection. He wife basically told him that they/their ancestors had been screwed over in Scotland so it was okay to screw over the Duttons by taking their land away.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

But will her children with Spencer be WASPs? The Dutton’s are Irish Americans, which means there is a chance that they aren’t protestants.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

It is called being a human being, and having emotions. Humans have fear, the needles looked intimidating. People get frightened from hearing other people suffering, especially when they start off being upset themselves.
