I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more charming pitch for rosé in my life. ![]() I wondered about the symbolism at baby John’s funeral and why Kayce never tries to combine any of his traditions with Monica’s? It was his baby, too. We’re one week into the governorship, which would be January, correct? So how in the world is there no snow in Montana? And how is Beth wearing a slip dress? She looks freezing. She asks: “How do you want me to get home, Jamie? Huh? Hike my skirt up on the on-ramp?” Jamie replies: “Doubt it’d be the first time.” Line of the night: Jamie springs Beth from jail but doesn’t want to drive her. No noticeable whiskey pours this episode, but Beth’s vodka of choice for that morning slug was Tito’s, a venerable Texas brand. Check it out.ĭid we know Beth’s full name was Bethany? Always figured Elizabeth, but maybe I missed something. ![]() The branding montage featured an excellent song I don’t think I’d heard. ( Nicole’s retort: Too distracted by Kayce’s cute face to notice his hat, Ryan! Sheesh!) No big deal until this episode, where he wore it to his son’s funeral? C’mon. This is probably petty of me, but I’ve been distracted all season by Kayce’s nasty cowboy hat. I couldn’t quite make it out, but the guy who gave Beth a ride after her fight with Jamie had a hat on that read “Cedar Creek, Texas,” with a drawing of an old pickup. The ending seemed to tease a big ol’ fire as Beth sips vodka pre-dawn on the porch (like you do), so yet another threat could be brewing for the Duttons. I thought for a moment Beth would soften and look at Jamie differently, but she freaked out! She starts slapping and punching him in the face while he’s driving and nearly causes a wreck. THAT’S RIGHT: JAMIE IS A FATHER and somehow nobody has discussed this yet, several episodes into season five. Beth glances around the car and notices a baby car seat. John goes to lunch with his former fling, ex-governor/now-senator Lynelle Perry, and she gives him some solid advice about Beth’s assault charge: “If it doesn’t go away, you just ignore it.” Here’s where John gets the idea, we’ll see him utilize later, that he can pardon someone early in his career, though she doesn’t advise it.Īfter maneuvering to get Beth out of jail with a lesser charge, Jamie is stuck taking her home. As touching as this is, so far the Monica and Kayce storyline is significantly more sad and a bit jarring. Nicole: The funeral for Monica and Kayce’s baby boy begins and Rip gathers the cowboys to help dig the grave. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, and the spur of the moment decision comes across as cutthroat. He doesn’t like anything they’re saying, so he fires all of them, saving Montana taxpayers money, he says. ![]() ![]() We cut to John Dutton, our reluctant governor, who decides to hop in on a meeting of his own advisers. She tells Jamie, coincidentally the attorney general of Montana, that he better get her off the hook. When it opens, we’re sulking in jail with Beth - it’s her world, after all, and we’re just living in it - and it immediately becomes clear: She’s not sorry she bashed a woman eyeing husband Rip over the head with a bottle. Episode four starts with a hand grenade and ends with fireworks. It is laden with drama from beginning to end. Nicole Russell, opinion writer: It took a few episodes, but this is the Yellowstone we’ve come to know and love. Or accept that sometimes, spoilage is part of life. So, if you haven’t watched it, go do that before reading this. Be warned: We can’t discuss the episode without, you know, saying what happened in it.
