The release of 1883 Season 1 Episode 9 arrives this weekend, and it's evident that Paramount+ wants you to be excited. But fans must first see the build-up in the penultimate episode Racing Clouds before they can see the finale.

The streamer's synopsis for the episode is brief. However, it promises more drama and hardship for the Duttons and their Oregon Trail companions.

1883 Season 1 Episode 9 Spoilers

The synopsis of Episode 9 is relatively brief as the tale progresses toward the Season 1 finale. The synopsis, however, offers a lot with just a few words: "A misunderstanding leads to a battle with serious consequences."

It's unclear what the misunderstanding is about or who is involved. But, thus far into the voyage, we know that supplies are running low, and bandits appear to be lurking around every corner. There's also the weather, which has been as much of a foe as anything or everyone else the wagon train has encountered on the journey.

1883 Season 2 Underway

Fans should also be aware that there are only two episodes left, as stated in both the tweet and the promo below. The irony is that the show was just renewed for more episodes earlier this week. We don't believe these episodes are the "final" ones because they didn't call it 1883 Season 2 per se. For the time being, they're the last ones.

In terms of what's to come, we'll witness Elsa, Margaret, and the rest of the group do their best to survive and complete their adventure. Of course, for the time being, they believe the end of their voyage is in Oregon; we all know that's not where the Duttons end up! There will undoubtedly be some other hiccups along the way, and we must be prepared for them. The same can be said about seeing certain characters perish.

We expect this story to be emotional for Elsa especially, considering that she has just left behind Sam, the boy she believes she will be with down the line. She intends to see him again at some point, but who knows when that will be? She'll have to take virtually two separate journeys, which will be difficult for her to accomplish.

1883 Season 1 Episode 9 will be available Sunday, Feb. 20 on Paramount+.
