No, that's Spencer. He was in the Yellowstone flashback with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. James gets shot but makes it home before he dies. There's a second son at that point.

So they left it a little open for Jack to be killed and a kid still be born. The short dialogue between Harrison Ford and Jack's fiancee's father kind of hinted that Jack and his fiancee might have already done the deed. So could be a son (John Dutton from Yellowstone's father) that could happen even if Jack was killed by the sheepherder.

Re: Spencer, I think he was traumatized from serving in WW1 and rather than go back to Montana to work on the ranch with his aunt and uncle, he decided to hunt for hire in Africa. Cool scenes there with the leopards. That English chick who had an eye for him didn't last long.

fastest she ever went up a tree though i bet.

To me Ford is low on energy and not very convincing in this show.

Yes - he's played by James Badge Dale (The Pacific, Iron Man 3, 13 Hours, The Departed):

I enjoyed his character in the Pacific. If you have not read Robert Leckie's book, "Helmet For My Pillow", do it. "The Pacific", is based upon it and "With the Old Breed". Darn good book.

He is 80 years old. I think he is doing a great job considering. I think a younger guy (someone in their 60's -LOL) could have been higher energy, but they casting agent went for the "name".

If he is low energy in this role, how in the world is he going to pull off Indian Jones?

thank god there are 2 other story lines that are way more interesting than Fords

How is Harrison Fords character a Dutton?
Didn't they narrate that he was Faith Hills sister?
Did he just take Tim McGraw's name to build on what little they had started?

He is the brother of James Dutton(Mcgraw). So he is a biological Dutton. Jacob(Ford) and Cara(Mirren) Dutton have no children.

It explained in the beginning of the episode that Margaret wrote to Jacob Dutton to come save the ranch after James died. He arrived a year later to find Margaret frozen to death and her two sons(John Dutton I and Spencer) clinging to life.

The family trees like the one posted above made the episode much more enjoyable and coherent for us. I started to get some Game of Thrones type thoughts going on. Aka- who the heck is related to who and in what way.

I use my own family tree to help.

I'm about Kayce's age (80s baby)
My dad is about Costner's age (50s baby)
His parents were born 20s/30s (in line with the presumed pregnancy mentioned in ep. 1)
My great grandma was born early 1900s, so about the same time as the couple who were about to get married.
My great great grand parents were born (I think) 1870s/1880s, so lines up perfectly with the kids from 1883

You can't bring logic to the Yellowstone timeline. Don't forget, they don't have a winter there so all of their years are shorter.
