Summary
The conclusion of Yellowstone will feature accelerated storylines and each Dutton will receive ample time to finish their respective journeys.
John Dutton's fate appears to be hanging in the balance, with a violent demise looming as the most probable result, potentially influenced by Sarah Atwood's manipulations.
The futures and relationships of Jamie, Kayce, Rip, and Tate will be put to the test, as the prophetic events of 1883 and the ranch's succession will be explored before the grand conclusion of the show.
The upcoming conclusion of Season 5 marks the end of Yellowstone. However, there are still several crucial events that need to unfold for the Dutton family before it reaches its ultimate conclusion. The first half of Season 5 witnessed intense developments for every member of the Dutton clan, alongside their companions and allies. If not for the unexpected departure of Kevin Costner, who plays a pivotal role, it is highly probable that the immensely popular Western drama would have continued for another entire season. Nevertheless, the remaining episodes of Season 5 will be action-packed, as each Dutton embarks on their own personal endgame.
Although the resolution of all storylines may be somewhat expedited, ample time will be given to each Dutton character to fully conclude their respective journeys in Season 5. However, before that occurs, each Dutton is bound to encounter their own distinct set of challenges and predicaments. Here are ten pivotal events that still await the Dutton family before the show approaches its (hopefully) grand finale.
John Dutton Dies
Sarah Atwood’s Scheming Plays Out
With Kevin Costner's absence in part 2 of Season 5, it becomes necessary to gradually remove John Dutton from the overarching story. Considering the gritty nature of Yellowstone, it appears that John's demise through a violent death is the most probable outcome (although a peaceful passing due to his existing cancer is also a possibility). Regardless, it is imperative to give the character a definitive conclusion. Merely placing him in an off-screen location within the Yellowstone universe would only create challenges not just for the show's writers, but also for the forthcoming Yellowstone sequel series.
At the season 5 break, Jamie Dutton found himself irresistibly drawn into the web of Sarah Atwood, a charming and manipulative woman. Under her influence, Jamie became determined to end his long-standing conflict with his sister in a final, violent showdown, all while plotting to overthrow his father as governor. Sarah's manipulation will have far-reaching consequences for multiple members of the Dutton family, and if Jamie's desperation grows, these consequences could even prove fatal. It is possible that this is how John Dutton eventually meets his inevitable demise, setting the stage for the intense finale of Yellowstone.
Jamie Should Choose His Allegiance
Jamie is currently being manipulated by Sarah Atwood, causing him to turn against his adoptive family. However, there is still hope for Jamie to make amends. If he can break free from Sarah's control, he has the opportunity to save his family, who are in desperate need of his assistance in order to survive and maintain ownership of the Yellowstone ranch. Throughout the course of Yellowstone, Jamie has grappled with his loyalties, but the resolution to his internal struggle is certain to unfold in the second half of season 5.
Kayce Should Make A Choice For His Family’s Future
Having always dreamed of inheriting the ranch, John's successor, Kayce, has constantly struggled with a pivotal decision between a future on the eventful Yellowstone ranch and a future free from its accompanying turmoil. Before Yellowstone concludes, Kayce will have to make a definitive choice that will determine the destiny of not only himself but also his wife Monica, their son Tate, and any potential future offspring. An opportunity awaits him on the Broken Rock Reservation, where he could assume the role of the reservation's Special Investigator. This position could potentially offer the tranquil and blissful future that his family so desperately needs.
Beth and Rip’s Relationship Will Be Tested
One of the potential paths for
Rip Wheeler’s Future on the Ranch Will Be Decided
, could involve a leap in time, where several months elapse off-screen before the show resumes. As Rip embarks on his journey to Texas and Beth remains in Montana, their relationship is bound to face significant challenges. This was acknowledged by both of them in the mid-season finale, with Beth expressing her intention to join Rip. However, the distance between them, with states separating them on the trail, is not comparable to sharing a bed every night. Although their love has proven resilient over the years, it is sure to be put to the test as they spend more time apart.
Despite not sharing the Dutton name, Rip is considered just as much a part of the family by John, especially since he is married to Beth. However, with the future of the Yellowstone ranch in uncertain, Rip's own future is equally unclear. He has previously expressed his commitment to die on the ranch, and this may indeed become a reality before the conclusion of season 5. Whether he becomes an unintended victim of Sarah Atwood's scheming or defends the Dutton family, there is a possibility that Rip's fate will be determined soon. If he is to survive, there are additional questions surrounding the role he will play, which remain unanswered.
The Prophecy of 1883 Will Be Addressed
Many hardcore Yellowstone fans firmly believe that the ultimate fate of the Yellowstone ranch was unveiled in the highly anticipated finale of the show's beloved prequel, 1883. The conclusive episode showcased John Dutton's ancestor, James Dutton, striking a significant agreement with the local Crow Native Americans. This agreement allowed James Dutton to establish his abode amidst the fertile lands of Paradise Valley. However, it came with an intriguing condition - the Crow Nation would eventually reclaim the land after seven successive generations. Undoubtedly, this prophecy cannot be overlooked or left unaddressed until the finale of Yellowstone, particularly as Kayce's son, Tate, represents the seventh generation succeeding the formulation of this prophecy.
Tate’s Role in the Ranch’s Survival Will Be Revealed
There is a possibility that the prophecy regarding Yellowstone could have a unique outcome, where the Crow chief's vision comes true without the Duttons losing their ownership of the Yellowstone ranch. Tate, who has Native American heritage, and whose mother was raised on Broken Rock Reservation, could potentially be considered a descendant of the Crow tribe, with whom James Dutton initially made the deal. If the ranch were to be passed on to Tate, the prophecy could be fulfilled, as the land would be returned to its original inhabitants.
Monica Will Discover Her True Path
Monica's character in Yellowstone has been a constant source of intrigue due to her ever-changing motivations. Initially, she was determined to separate Tate from the ranch, even if it meant leaving Kayce. However, she later became actively involved in the Dutton family gatherings, while also taking on roles such as a college professor, potential victim of a serial killer, and expectant mother.
As the show nears its conclusion, Monica deserves a clear direction for her future. The events in the latter half of season 5 should pave the way for her, undoubtedly leading her towards Kayce. A life dedicated to caring for the people of the Broken Rock Reservation would align perfectly with their aspirations and offer a satisfying resolution for their storyline.
The Succession of the Ranch Will Be Laid Out
Currently, there is a lack of clarity regarding the potential inheritors of the ranch after John's demise. Rip or Kayce seem to have the strongest claims, considering Beth's explicit intention to sell the ranch if her father were absent. Nevertheless, depending on the ultimate ownership of the deed after John's passing, the future of the ranch could significantly vary. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a clear and carefully devised plan, particularly with the upcoming Yellowstone sequel series featuring Matthew McConaughey.
