Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for 1923 season 2, episode 4.Zane’s (Brian Geraghty) brain surgery in1923season 2 has to be the most gruesome and wild thing in the entireYellowstonefranchise. After five seasons of the original show and three seasons ofYellowstonespinoff series, theYellowstonefranchise has had some very dark and disturbing moments. FromSarah Atwood’s (Dawn Olivieri) sudden death inYellowstoneto Alexandra’s (Julia Schlaepfer) beating in1923, Taylor Sheridan has shown audiences some truly wild scenes. He took it to another level in1923season 2, however, and I’ve seen it all now.
In1923season 2, episode 4, Zane Davis had to have brain surgery. He was beaten to within an inch of his life at theend of1923season 1, and Dr. Miller (Mark Daneri) determined that he had a brain bleed that needed to be released. Unfortunately, since Zane had been ignored while in the hospital, his brain surgery had to be done with only chloroform as anesthesia. That set the stage for a truly stomach-churning moment, and1923took the cake for the most disturbing scene in the entireYellowstonefranchise.

Zane’s Brain Surgery Was Intense, Blood-Curdling, & The Most Gruesome Thing In Yellowstone
Simply put, Zane’s brain surgery in1923season 2, episode 4 was the most disturbing thing in all ofYellowstone.From the way Jack (Darren Mann) and Jacob (Harrison Ford) had to hold Zane’s head steady with pieces of wood to the visceral and realistic image of Dr. Miller drilling into his skull, the whole ordeal was uncomfortable. When Zane woke up and started letting out a blood-curdling scream, however,1923turned into a torture horror movie for a scene. It felt more like theSawfranchise than a Western TV show, and it was incredibly tense and stressful just to watch.

1923 season 2 continues to build impressive stakes for Jacob Dutton and the family while making Alexandra and Spencer’s journeys quite dangerous.
It’s not exactly uncommon forYellowstoneand its spinoffs to include brutal scenes filled with gore and viscera, and it’s not even that surprising for1923. In1923season 1, Sister Mary’s (Jennifer Ehle) entire story centered around torturing Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves) in increasingly sick and twisted ways. Even in1923season 2, we saw Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) attacked by a rabid wolf and watched Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) run down a Comanche child with his horse.Zane’s brain surgery, however, is likely still the most disturbing scene in theYellowstonefranchise because1923shows every gory detail and really let the audience feel Zane’s pain.
