A typical episode ofYellowstoneis made up of five or more different stories, rarely with one clear narrative through-line.
Structure has never been its strong suit.
The scattered nature of the stories isnt an impediment this time; if anything, its a feature.
Still wounded by Laramie ditching him for Walker, Lloyds being stubborn, grumpy, and bossy.
Even when nothing goes right, at least theres this place.
Why do all my children have to leave to find happiness?
But it might still be beneficial, in the long run, for John.
But John rarely thinks about the long run, because he prioritizes his principles.
Why would anyone leave?
In reality, Kayce and Beth are more loyal to their dad than ever.
Beth even says so.
But in Johns perception, they could be on the same path to betrayal that his son Jamie took.
(Never mind that John is still suspicious he tried to wipe out the family.)
Maybe intense fear doesnt need to be a day-to-day reality.
Maybe all he needs is this: corrals stretching in every direction, then land, then sky.
The Last Round-Up
Rip and Beths anger with Carter continues to make no sense to me.
Why blow up over a kid wanting a nice shirt?
You dont have to spoil him, but its ridiculous to think hed lose their trust just from that.
At least this is a small part of the episode.
In the premiere, Jamie tells Beth hedidcall people about Johns health, just not her.
But with Kayce, he changes his story, saying hed be accused of collusion if hed called.
Is this intentional evidence of Jamie being a fake or just messy writing?
Or just to show off how cool and hot he is.
I like him, but I kind of wish I didnt know Sheridan was the actor.
Mia tells Laramie shes leaving the ranch for rodeo season, which makes sense.
I dont mind her, but theres not much reason to keep her without Jimmy around.
