Well, we seemed to get an answer for the former in the Season 2 premiere, with Alex revealing thatshe was pregnantwith Spencer’s child. Since she was the only pregnant character, many believed this was confirmation that she and Spencer were the future of the family name.

It’s a joyous moment for the Dutton family, who have so far suffered through a long and horrible winter. It’s also a moment of hope for Liz, who came very close to abandoning the Duttons and returning home to her family in Boston.

However, this does throw the Dutton lineage into question once again. Who are the paternal grandparents of John Dutton III (Kevin Costner)? Once again, it could be either Spencer and Alex or Jack and Liz.
