She needs to search out residence in Season 2, however that additionally requires staying out of attain of the individuals looking her down.
May her highway to freedom make her cross paths with the Duttons? Given the connection established between the Dutton and Rainwater households within the Yellowstone sequence finale (the ranch was protected by a conservation easement and offered to Thomas Rainwater at a good worth), their household historical past is now extra necessary than ever on this TV universe.

The Oklahoma Marshal is on the highway looking for Teonna after her homicide case was introduced ahead by Montana Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) and Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché), the top of Teonna’s residential college who’s decided to see her punished for the crimes of killing the nuns who abused her.
Nieves recollects the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it affirmation that Teonna is a Rainwater in Season 1. “In case you didn’t catch it, you needed to be so sharp and on it, you wouldn’t [notice]. She says she’s Rainwater, however in her language in Season 1, so it’s prefer it was slightly Easter egg.”
“The hazard” from Season 1 remains to be current all through Season 2, Nieves admits, however fortunately, there’s additionally “lightness” and “love” within the new episodes. That was proven with the romantic connection between Teonna and Pete within the season’s first installments, and their relationship will proceed to develop transferring ahead as their romance teaches Teonna the way to “belief” and “forgive” once more, says the star. Teonna is “remembering the way to be an actual, full-bodied human being” after half a decade of trauma, Nieves provides.
“There’s one thing so terrifying, trusting love in all facets. Not simply romantic, but in addition platonic love. There’s one thing so scary about that,” Nieves explains. “Nevertheless, [Teonna] is coming into the house the place she has to recollect so much. She was stripped of a lot on this establishment, so now she’s remembering the way to be an actual, full-bodied human being that isn’t connected to all the things that has occurred to her beforehand. And she or he’s studying the way to be current and to belief and forgive. So seeing her on this gentle, rumbling, jumpy newness is so stunning. That is the primary contact she’s ever had that didn’t need hurt within the final 5 or 6 years. That is the primary contact she’s ever had that wished the perfect and wished to guard her. So I believe it’s a really particular second to tell you about what’s to come back.”
