Teonna Rainwater’s journey in Yellowstone’s 1923 prequel has been one of survival, vengeance, and loss. With her enemies finally gone, viewers are left to wonder what lies ahead for this pivotal character, especially as her story is likely to connect to the ancestry of Thomas Rainwater from the main Yellowstone series.

After escaping the horrors of her boarding school, where she was subjected to abuse and violence, Teonna’s quest for freedom became a desperate fight for survival.

In the first season’s climax, Teonna killed two nuns who tormented her, and was relentlessly pursued by Father Renaud, the cruel headmaster, and Marshall Kent, a ruthless lawman.

Both men met their end in West Texas, finally freeing Teonna from their pursuit. However, this victory came at a great cost: her protectors, Pete Plenty Clouds and Runs His Horse, also lost their lives, leaving Teonna utterly alone.

With her enemies vanquished, Teonna finds herself with no clear purpose and no allies. The weight of her actions and the trauma of her journey press heavily on her, leaving her to question her place in the world.

As 1923 nears its season finale, fans are anxious to see how her story will conclude and whether it will directly tie into the legacy of Thomas Rainwater and the Broken Rock Reservation.

Runs His Horse, Teonna’s father, was a tribal leader at Broken Rock. With his death, it seems likely that Teonna will try to return there, seeking solace and perhaps a new beginning among her people.

There is speculation that Teonna could be pregnant with Pete Plenty Clouds’ child, which would ensure the continuation of her bloodline—a possible link to Thomas Rainwater’s ancestry.

If so, her child might bear her last name, honoring both her survival and Pete’s sacrifice.

Yet, Teonna’s journey is not without further obstacles. Law enforcement in Texas, particularly Marshall My Faucet, may still be searching for her after discovering the trail of bodies left behind. This could pose one final threat before Teonna can return home and find some measure of peace.

Alone and adrift, Teonna is guided by the wisdom of an old man who reminds her that the land itself will show her the way. She must listen, heal, and find her purpose beyond vengeance.

As she travels north, she discovers a Lakota camp—a refuge for survivors like herself. Here, Teonna is recognized as “the girl who fought back,” and the people look to her for leadership and hope.

Embracing her new role, Teonna helps the camp prepare for the inevitable threats from outsiders. She teaches them to survive, to fight not for revenge but for their future.

When soldiers arrive, they find not a broken people, but a resilient community ready to defend itself. Word of their victory spreads, and more outcasts join them, growing their numbers and solidifying Teonna’s place as a protector and leader.

Over the years, Teonna’s legend grows. She becomes more than a survivor—she is a symbol of resistance, hope, and the enduring spirit of her people. Her story, marked by pain and triumph, becomes the foundation for the generations that follow, ultimately connecting her to the legacy of Thomas Rainwater in Yellowstone.
