Dark Winds Recap: Gods and Monsters

Dark Winds nips the question of whether Yé’iitsoh is a character or metaphor in the bud.

There are three interlocking timelines to this week’s episode: a dreamscape, present reality, and Margaret’s narration of the story of the Battle of the Yé’iitsoh, fought by the Hero Twins Monster Slayer and Born For Water. After collapsing from a darting arrow that hit him in the neck in his present reality, supposedly shot by Yé’iitsoh, Joe wakes up in a stretch of desert tinted orange by a blazing sun. The solution of the priest’s murder has the power to liberate Joe because it sheds light on the truth he was missing: the line that separates monsters from men can’t be crossed because it doesn’t exist.
