As a seasoned gamer of the Yellowstone series, I must confess that the latest installment has been a rollercoaster ride, albeit one with a few twists and turns that left me hanging on to my seat. The finale was nothing short of intense, with Beth finally taking matters into her own hands and giving Jamie the send-off he deserved – or rather, the send-off he didn’t. I have to admit, the kitchen brawl between the siblings was reminiscent of a WWE match, complete with blood, milk, and pepper spray.
Spoilers below for the Season 5 finale of Yellowstone, so be warned if you haven’t yet watched.
Absolutely, the highly anticipated return of “Yellowstone” for its final episodes in Season 5 has undeniably been one of the most significant happenings on the 2024 TV calendar, despite some varying opinions about the Kevin Costner-less season and its treatment of John Dutton’s death and subsequent events. Regardless of personal feelings, Taylor Sheridan’s co-creation has now concluded its fifth season in a grand and deadly manner. (Here are the viewing instructions!)
It’s fortunate that Yellowstone delivered on a long-awaited death, and added to my excitement with an unexpected twist in its spinoff series, 6666, which could benefit from some behind-the-scenes insights at this stage. Let’s examine in detail — keeping a secure distance for safety and DNA preservation — one of the western drama’s bloodiest and tension-filled fistfights.
Beth Finally Murdered Jamie, But Only After A WWE-Esque Kitchen Brawl
Concerned that Beth and Rip’s spinoff might prolong the intense sibling rivalry, I worried that Tulsa might unwisefully spare Jamie to keep the conflict ongoing for future episodes. This worry intensified as Jamie’s initial scenes focused solely on his speech at a press conference.
Fortunately for everyone except Wes Bentley, it turned out that Jamie Dutton sustained fatal injuries, including a shattered facial structure, a severe stab wound, and the lingering effects of pepper spray on his restless eyes. Immediately after attending John’s funeral, Beth set off on a reckless journey with Jamie as her target.
If Beth had swiftly removed Jamie from the scene without him understanding what was transpiring, I likely would have felt dismay. Contrarily, this episode didn’t provoke such feelings. Instead, as soon as Jamie stepped inside following his public speech, Beth assaulted him brutally – hitting his face with a tire iron and spraying pepper spray across much of his upper body. This incident resulted in one of the most chilling scenes ever depicted on Yellowstone: Jamie’s visage bathed in milk due to excessive blood.
Almost equally terrifying is the intensity of Beth and Jamie’s altercation, where it appears that Jamie inflicted a considerable number of blows on Beth’s face, despite his weak and seemingly unintelligent punches. (Take that, you foolish corpse.) However, it seems that Beth allowed Jamie to physically abuse her for a purpose – to accumulate as many injuries as possible to substantiate her story when she reported it to the police, even though Jamie may have exceeded her expectations in the violence he used.
In summary, it’s reported that Rip departed an hour following Beth, miraculously arriving just in the knick of time to prevent Jamie from strangling her. Although we can overlook this instance due to Beth being inside the house before Jamie arrived, it’s nevertheless noteworthy.
To put it simply, as a devoted fan, the final scene of the episode found Beth and Rip comfortably settled at their fresh property beyond Dillon, free from any concerns about Jamie’s concealed body or torched vehicle being discovered. It leaves me pondering if this serenity could be disrupted in the upcoming spinoff, or if they’ll encounter different challenges instead.
I Love That Teeter Gets A Happy Ending, And Hope She’s In The 6666 Spinoff
To achieve a more optimistic conclusion, let’s shift focus towards Jen Landon’s character, Teeter, who has endured an excessive amount of emotionally taxing scenes due to Colby’s heartbreaking horse-related death in “Counting Coup.” She plummeted to some dismal lows that even the trickery in card games couldn’t entirely lift her from initially, and appeared uncertain about her path ahead after her cowboy days at Yellowstone ended when it was bought by Rainwater.
In simpler terms,
Jimmy and Emily’s attendance at the funeral opened up an opportunity for Teeter to embark on a fresh journey by venturing to Texas to work with Travis. Although this job doesn’t appear to be simple, as Travis is known for being quite demanding and enjoys challenging his employees, it represents a constructive and grounded move that she hadn’t contemplated earlier.
Teeter has been among my cherished recurring characters from Yellowstone since she first appeared. She stands out as one of the rare TV personalities whose lines I genuinely appreciate reading with subtitles to fully understand. Landon brings a sense of realism to the character even with limited screen time, and her performances showcase her talents remarkably well. It’s her absence that I’d feel most keenly if we don’t get another chance to catch up with her in the future, but…
I’m quite optimistic that Teeter’s final chapter might introduce Landon as a new character within the series 6666, given that the conclusion of Yellowstone could provide a stronger rationale for the ranch-based spinoff to persist and continue the narratives of these characters. Until now, my assumption was that Ryan Bingham’s Walker would be the sole additional regular from Yellowstone joining Jefferson White’s Jimmy in Texas, but it appears as though this possibility remains viable with their storylines seeming rather unresolved.
Although it’s exciting to anticipate their return, what I most cherish about the last six episodes of Yellowstone is undoubtedly Teeter finding her happy ending. For this, and for numerous other unforgettable moments throughout the five seasons, I extend my gratitude to Taylor Sheridan and the incredibly gifted cast for continuing to be part of the Dutton family’s journey. And let me add, the demise of Jamie was certainly well-executed, considering all the reasons behind it.
It’s not yet determined exactly when all of Season 5 will be accessible for streaming through a Peacock subscription, but it seems probable that it will occur prior to the airing of the subsequent season of the contemporary spinoff of Yellowstone, titled 1923. The second season of 1923 is scheduled for 2025, debuting on February 25th. The release date for the series The Madison, which stars Michelle Pfeiffer, has not been specified yet.
