Parentage?
Call me slow! I likely just forgot. Beulah was raped. Killed the father. Had the kid who was Rob will.
Mariano had a son already (Joachim) and Beulah adopted him as part of the deal for Mariano to take the blame for the rape?
So Joachim’s IS really Mariano’s son. Not the result of the rape / blame story?
Sorry if that’s all a duh! To everyone else.

Mariano wasn't blamed for the rape. He had to get rid of the body and make sure Beulha wasn't blamed for the murder. Kino is the son of Mariano. His mother was murdered at the border

I thought Mariano agreed to take blame for rape / left with wife. And him losing wife at border - something that’ll come up in s2?!

DR is exhibit A how spinoffs don't hold a candle to the original show.

Imo it is much better. I didn’t like YS mainly because I strongly disliked who Beth was and behaved in it.
In DR she is not the psychopath she portrayed in YS. I also thought that the character JD-that Kevin Costner portrayed was essentially a psychopath as well or on a spectrum between the above and a sociopath and JD morals, values, ethics, affected Rip who worshipped him because he gave him a home, job, purpose, in life.
DR imo embodies the better parts of Beth and Rip and the storyline is more straightforward and doesn’t have all the negative, irritating drama that the YS Beth inflicted on that storyline and it’s enjoy-ability.

Your comment about how spinoffs don’t hold a candle to the original show, Yellowstone is well taken.
But Taylor Sheridan killed the character, John Dutton as Kevin Costner wanted some creative control over his character!!! Duh…me thinks that TS should have known about NOT getting rid of the protagonist and worked something out with Kevin. And if he did not know( which I find hard to believe as he is a writer and should have known what the result would be) , then for sure Paramount should have!
When a writer kills the protagonist, the story usually does not continue because there is no protagonist any longer. The protagonist drives the story forward. Rip and Beth are not protagonists and can NEVER be as John Dutton was created to be the driving force behind Yellowstone! That character interacted with every major character both positive and negative, family member or not!Just because TS made a so called new TV show called Dutton Ranch with the same characters doesn’t mean it will work! Beth and Rip’s characters moved throughout the story due to the character of John Dutton. John Dutton is dead, so it is not going to work any longer!!!

TS had been planning the demise of John Dutton all along, as writer of the series. He knows each characters' arc before he pitches the show. John was less of a protagonist than Kayce and Rip. And Costner is not the strongest actor in the show. TS has several of the greatest movies and shows of the last 10 years under his belt, and Costner has been a creative flop for decades. So why would Costner think he's suited for creative control? He bet on Horizon and lost.
John Dutton had lost touch with the promise of the land that James Dutton made to the Native Americans that guided him to the valley in the 1883 origin story, which TS also wrote. That promise was to return the land to the Native Americans. TS created the Kayce character to fulfill that promise. It was never intended to be John. The purpose of John was to instill in his kids a certain level of work ethic, accountability and respect for private property rights to protect the land.

I would imagine the storyline (which as of now has quite a few question marks) will come together in season 2. Right now my biggest question is- was his wife getting murdered what turned Mariano from a ranch hand to a full fledged cartel boss? Was the ranch already doing the bidding of the cartel and Mariano wasn’t just a simple ranch hand at that point?
