SPOILERS: This text will comprise spoilers for the Yellowstone finale, “Life Is a Promise.”
The lengthy journey to the season 5 finale of Yellowstone has lastly arrived after a virtually two-year hole that discovered followers ready to seek out out not solely what would develop into of John Dutton however the ranch itself. And with final evening’s send-off, we acquired almost each reply we may need.
Clocking in at almost an hour and a half and directed by showrunner Taylor Sheridan, the Yellowstone finale provided loads of closure, with the funeral of the late John Dutton – led to as a result of ongoing points between Kevin Costner and the sequence – and the loss of life of Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), whose journey to some model of the practice station has been a very long time coming. That it got here by the hands of Beth (Kelly Reilly) was inevitable, as she has been warning Kayce (Luke Grimes) to let the deed be hers.
As for the ranch itself, it was bought again to the Damaged Rock Reservation, permitting Kayce the form of freedom he has so desired. He’s additionally seen with Tate (Brecken Merrill) jumpstarting their very own type of the life they grew into. Oddly, Luke Grimes has mentioned that the best way the present ends presents finality, suggesting a spin-off might not be for his character. And whereas it does in a manner, one may see Kayce at the least being a part of one of many spin-offs. It has already been revealed that Beth and Rip (Cole Hauser) shall be getting their very own, including to the ever-expanding Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone Universe.

Heading into the ultimate episodes, there was quite a bit on the road for Yellowstone, mainly because it associated to John Dutton. And whether or not you agreed with killing off Dutton within the premiere or not, I’d say that Taylor Sheridan dealt with it remarkably nicely. It by no means felt prefer it was a knee-jerk choice; as an alternative, it labored to the purpose that it’s exhausting to think about the second a part of the season with out it. Whereas some initially challenged that Dutton dedicated suicide, because it was fully out of character, the revelations surrounding the precise trigger have been finely executed (no pun supposed).
