This post contains spoilers from Dark Winds season 3 episode 8, “Béésh Lii” (Iron Horse).

The season finale of Dark Winds wastes no time catching up with the fraud Dr. Reynolds (John Diehl). Teddi Issacs (Carly Roland) was on the cusp of gathering her belongings and getting away, but Reynolds appeared in the nick of time with a proposal from a friend to bankroll another dig site for them. By this time, of course, Teddi no longer trusts him. Not only is he a crooked researcher, he’s a self-made murderer. Try as she might to render herself free from the man, he overpowers her even with his aged strength. In a flash Teddi’s head is brutally bashed against the hotel room table, instantly killing her.

Gordo (A. Martinez) and Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) find the blood-riddled vehicle of Dr. Reynolds. And much to their surprise, they find Teddi Issacs dead in the trunk.

Leaphorn and Chee may be taking an unplanned trip to Reno, as Dark Winds brings Season 3 to a thrilling close this Sunday at 9/8c.

When last we tuned into the acclaimed AMC/AMC+ period drama, Navajo tribal police Lt. Joe Leaphorn (played by TVLine Performer of the Week Zahn McClarnon) came to realize that archeologist Dr. Reynolds (Christopher Heyerdahl) had been seeding his dig site with artifact fragments. Reynolds had in turn killed Ernesto and now is hunting George Bowlegs, after the kids stumbled across his handiwork late one night.

Leaphorn and Chee work on tying their cases together on AMC’s Dark Winds season two episode five. “Black Hole Sun” will premiere on August 24, 2023 on AMC+ and air on Sunday, August 27 at 9pm Et/Pt on AMC.

The season two cast is led by Zahn McClarnon (Fargo) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn, Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, and Jessica Matten (Burden of Truth) as Sgt. Bernadette Manuelito. Deanna Allison (Edge of America) stars as Emma Leaphorn and Elva Guerra (Reservation Dogs) is Sally Growing Thunder.

Guest stars include Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Picard) as Rosemary Vines, Nicholas Logan (Dopesick) as Colton Wolf, A Martinez (Longmire) as Valencia County Sheriff Gordo Sena, and Joseph Runningfox (The Politician) as Henry Leaphorn, Lt. Joe Leaphorn’s father.

“Black Hole Sun” Plot: With his suspect in custody, Leaphorn races against the clock to get a confession, while Chee goes undercover at the cult that ties their investigations together.

Tazbah Chavez, the WGA-nominated “Reservation Dogs” writer and director, grew up attending environmental justice protests that aimed to protect Indigenous lands. As a citizen of the Bishop Paiute Tribe four hours outside of Los Angeles and daughter to a climate journalist, the creative — who helmed and co-wrote Tuesday’s episode of Fox’s “Accused” — said she wanted to bring her background as an activist fighting for Native rights to the small screen.

“’Naataanii’s Story’ is emblematic, first and foremost, of the frustration and anger that a lot of young people face when we try to protect Native homelands from being contaminated by destructive industries and unwise developments, and it’s reflecting the passion of our people to see justice,” Chavez told TheWrap in an interview. “Institutions like federal, state, local, global and corporate players ignore the needs and the rights of Native families.”
