Spencer Dutton and his fiancée Alexandra struggled for lives out at sea after their tug boat capsized on Sunday’s night’s episode of 1923 Sunday’s episode on the Paramount+ streaming service.
Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) was the first to make it out of the wrecked boat to the surface but then looked around and realized Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) wasn’t with him.
Spencer called out for her and then heard banging the hull from inside. He then dove back into the ship to get her. Alex was inside the sunken hull gasping for air in an air pocket.
Spencer grabbed a rope and told her to hold and then pulled her to the surface. The two of them climbed on top of the boat.
Spencer dove back into the boat to get them supplies to survive. When he returned, they huddled together on the overturned ship.

Meanwhile his wife Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) was in town interviewing men to be livestock agents.

‘To squeeze what’s in the middle and what’s in the middle is us,’ Jacob said. ‘Justice would be a luxury. My concern is survival.’
‘I know,’ Cara said. ‘That’s why I did it.’
Suddenly several sheriffs’ cars then pulled up at the ranch. Sheriff William McDowell got out and questioned Jacob why he didn’t report the ambush to the authorities.

‘It’s not even justice, it’s vengeance you seek,’ Cara said. ‘Never mind he’ll be arrested in the morning. You’d rather put the bullet in him yourself. Then it’s you in prison and the ranch is lost all the same.’
Cara told him that they had actually suffered more than him. Jacob went to his barn and got a saddle for his horse. He put the saddle on, got on his horse smiling and rode off.
Jack Dutton (Darren Mann) and his fiancée Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) cuddled in bed. He smiled and kissed her pregnant stomach. It was nightfall, when Cara was sitting outside and Jacob returned.

A small boat came towards them with two sailors on board who helped them aboard and took them back to their barge.
The captain of them both drinks in his chambers. Spencer told the captain that they were headed to Suez on the tug boat before it capsized but his final destination was Montana in the United States. The captain told him he heard it took months for an immigrant to gain entry to America.
‘I was hoping you could help me with that,’ Spencer said looking at Alex.

The captain said he had no dealings with American immigration.

Spencer said he didn’t want to put it off for a day. The captain gave them a box of dead sailors rings and told them to pick one, but all the rings were too big for Alex’s finger. The captain then took off his own necklace with a ring pendant. He told Alex that the ring belonged to his wife.
‘I’m certain she would approve,’ the Captain said.
The ring fit. Spencer smiled and the captain married them in his cabin. Alex and Spencer kissed. To celebrate, the two went to a cabin, took a romantic shower together and made love. Spencer opened a bottle of champagne and they went to the front of the ship.

Spencer said where they were going in Montana there was no lights or plumbing. Alex asked him what his dream was.
‘In my heart, I know it was wrong to take you and everything that happened up to now was a sign,’ Spencer said. ‘A warning. The elephant, the lions, the shipwreck. It was all the universe telling me to put you back. I’m just too f***ing selfish to do it. My dream is that the universe was wrong and you’re mine to keep.’
‘The universe has absolutely no say, whatsoever,’ Alex said. ‘I’m following you wherever you go. Whether you like it or not. Choose another dream. This one’s already come true.’
1923 will return next Sunday on the Paramount+ service.
