Dark Winds Season 1 Episode 2 Recap
Dark Winds Season 1 Episode 2 opens up three years back. Leaphorn went to a place called Drumco Oil to drop a lunch box before watching it blown to pieces. Cut to the present, the BJ Vines has taken over the place. Margaret finally starts opening up to Leaphorn and Chee. She disclosed the reason she was able to survive whereas Anna was not able. Margaret had her medicine pouch whereas Anna didn’t. She also reveals that there might have been two men. That same night, Leaphorn planned of burying Anna’s jacket. A shovel he had reminded him of the day he got it. He also remembers how Dillon told his friend not to go on the day of the explosion.
At the end of the day, Leaphorn decided he won’t be burying the jacket. He wants to use Chee as an FBI officer to get the autopsy report of the victims and the water he has tested. Amidst all of this, an unknown man barges into Lester’s shop demanding a painting of cactus which was already sold to a Mormon family. The same man later hunts down the Mormon family.

Dark Winds Season 1 Episode 2 Review
A slow and steady go for Dark Winds Season 1 Episode 2 as well but at the same time, it comes with a number of developments. The show also continues to dive into a number of flashbacks to tell the story further. It carries characters and their storylines in such a way that its a something huge for them to carry upon their shoulders. They don’t seem much motivated enough but need something to move ahead. Apart from that, we have to give a huge thumbs up to cinematography as the show delivers beautiful glimpses of Navajo.
Majorly Leaphorn’s character spends time dwindling on the past as he tries to get over the death of his son and Anna. With that, we also get a supernatural element that seems to carry itself around all the time. It plays with the beliefs of the people while an Officer like Chee denies it. Lastly, as we said the show doesn’t stop with its developments and always has answers for the past event. We wonder what new twist it will bring with Ben and the man who stole the painting.
