Not to mention, exciting new cast members, romantic relationships, a change of scenery, and more surprises await.

As Cruz looks inward and unpacks trauma related to the Clegg kidnapping, Garrett’s death, and Cal’s (Logan Marshall-Green) cancer journey, she’ll also be investigating her father’s death and learn some shocking secrets.
asserted
she → look → secrets
“Someone comes up to her at a certain point and says something because they knew the precinct that her father worked in, and it unearths all of this information that she didn’t know before,” Santos told DECIDER.
asserted
Santos → come → DECIDER
“As she starts digging into her father’s murder, she finds that there was an entire situation she had no idea about.
asserted
she → start → idea
He was almost leading a double life.
asserted
He → lead → life
It ends up taking her to New York, where she really feels a desperate need to try and get answers and uncover this part of her life that has affected her so much.”
asserted
that → end → her
“For the fans, I think it’ll be really cool for them to see Dre go back to New York,” Santos said, revealing that her character won’t be flying solo in her quest for answers on the East Coast.
asserted
character → think → Coast
That’s right, folks.
asserted
That → ’ → ?
Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) is headed to Brooklyn!

Dutton → head → Brooklyn
“The other day we were filming this scene on the water, and we’re looking at the Manhattan skyline in Dumbo under the Brooklyn Bridge, and it’s so beautiful.
asserted
it → film → Bridge
Then afterwards, Luke’s assistant was like, ‘Is it hard for you to cry?’
asserted
you → cry → ?
No, because I almost feel like there are parts of me where I just am her.’

I → feel → me
So yeah, it’s interesting,” Santos said, teasing that the trip will bring Dre and Kayce closer.
asserted
trip → ’ → Dre
“She ends up having a moment of deep vulnerability where she finally allows herself to cry and process the death of her father.
asserted
herself → end → father
We didn’t see her cry at his funeral, so we finally see her cry, and it’s in the arms of a certain person,” Santos teased.
asserted
Santos → see → person
“It’s really beautiful that she was able to lean on them and feel so safe and seen in that moment to even open up in that way, so I think the fans will really love that.
asserted
fans → ’ → that
While Yellowstone fans were shocked by Monica’s (Kelsey Asbille) death in Marshals and mourned the character alongside Kayce and Tate (Brecken Merrill) in Season 1, viewers also sensed a spark between Kayce and Andrea and have been rooting for a romance between them, which surprised the stars.
asserted
which → shock → stars
“It did surprise me when I first signed on to the project.
asserted
I → surprise → project
I didn’t even realize that was brewing or anything.
asserted
that → realize → ?
I think that for Kayce, when they decided to kill Monica off like that, there had to be so much care with that storyline because they were the heart of Yellowstone,” Santos reflected.
asserted
Santos → think → Yellowstone
“To now have him move on with his life, it has to be done with such specific timing and with so much attention and care.
asserted
it → have → attention
Watching them really connect — they both lost their fathers, and there’s such a safety that Andrea feels with Kayce.
asserted
Andrea → watch → Kayce
It’s unlike any person she’s ever met.

She also feels deeply protected by him.

Marque Richardson is one of the fresh faces joining Marshals Season 2 as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Barnes, and Santos confirmed, “He will definitely cross paths with Dre.”
asserted

“We had a lot of fun with him and Kayce because they’re so different.

At one point, Marque’s character says, ‘Oh, I rode at Georgetown, and Kayce is like [ugh].

So it’s fun to play with.

We’re so happy that he’s been with us.”

While we’re not sure who will be catching Kayce’s eye after Dolly’s (Ellyn Jameson) death, we do know Yellowstone star Jefferson White is making his triumphant return as Jimmy Hurdstrom, and his presence on set has been delightful.
asserted

“I only know him as Jimmy, and similar to Luke, he’s so different from his character.
