1923 Fans Were Cheering Loud For Teonna's Long-Awaited Escape During Episode 5

It’s been a long time coming for Sister Mary and Sister Alice following all the abuse they’ve dished out at the School for American Indians on “1923.” So when it came time for Teonna to finally get them back for everything and escape for good in Episode 5, fans of the Taylor Sheridan show were ecstatic.

“Teonna got her revenge, murdered a few evil abusive nuns,” boasted Twitter user @vetmed11. “Come on Teonna Rain Water!” tweeted @lovnights. “Teonna Rainwater went for a twofer! Now, it’s time for the priest to get his comeuppance,” said @djsoapbubble. Another user, @kidlightyear, declared: “Long live Teonna Rainwater!”

As for what’s next for Aminah Nieves’ character, the last few episodes of “1923” are sure to help tell the rest of Teonna’s story. And it’s a story that, according to Nieves and her castmates, needs to be heard. “Accountability needs to be had,” she told Paramount+ in a YouTube preview video posted on February 3. “These traumas are something that indigenous peoples face day to day,” Nieves said. “So expect all the feelings because the journey is just beginning.”

Actor Mo Brings Plenty, who plays Mo in “Yellowstone,” explained to Paramount+ that the franchise was ultimately shining a spotlight on something that’s very important to not just Indigenous people, but our entire history. “This show is bringing to light not just the Native issue,” Brings Plenty said, “It’s a human being issue.”
