Arthur’s father (Bruce Davison) urges his jealous, seething son to stand down.
But with the help of some booze and plenty of bruised pride, he can’t help himself.

Spencer defends himself, resulting in his attacker accidentally taking a header overboard.
Unfortunately, no one sees the gun, save for Alex and Jennifer.
We learn Arthur’s family is royalty, and his father’s standing gives him authority on the ship.
Still, Arthur didn’t survive the plunge and his dad isn’t happy.

They both scuffle with their respective oppressors Alex even slaps Arthur’s father and scream out to each other.
But there’s no hope.

Before the credits roll on1923’s first season, we head back to the Dutton ranch one more time.

You must hurry, Spencer.
Or there will be nothing left to fight for.
