![]() ![]() ![]() He does say, for some reason, that Riggins ordered the Dutton hits to prove his authority to rival gangs, like “an animal trying to convince other animals he’s still strong.” I’m actually not sure where he got this information - did he just assume it when he didn’t hear any information otherwise from Jamie? (For the last time, I ask: Why did Kayce never follow up with his brother about that meeting with Riggins?) It’s a bit of a silly point, honestly, because John was actually headed to talk to the sheriff about arranging the murder of Terrell Riggins, but John doesn’t mention that. In the first, Beth admonishes John for his rash diner vigilante moment, accusing him of ignoring the real people he should be going after. There’s a pair of John-Beth conversations in the episode, one before the revelation and one after. It’s the rare story that directly carries over from the previous episode, showing the immediate and brutal consequences of the plan Beth hatched to use Summer. “No Such Thing As Fair” may not have a ton of fireworks in the typical sense, but the moment when Summer tells John that Beth was the one to suggest she “take one for the team” at the airport protest made my heart sink. So I should’ve known one of them would go to shit. It has been nice to see those two relationships take center stage, with past resentments falling away. Kayce left with his family, but Beth took his place as the current favorite, moving into the lodge and becoming a sounding board for John’s passions and his fears. Early in the season, Kayce was his main companion on the ranch, and it was nice to see how far they’d come since the beginning of the show. One aspect of Yellowstone that I’ve enjoyed throughout this season is the warmth between John and his two biological kids. But we’re approaching a number of turning points. Sure, the plot still isn’t exactly catapulting forward, and there are a million directions the finale could go. This has been a slow season of Yellowstone, but the penultimate episode begins to pay off the character relationships built all season long. ![]()
