Yellowstone Recap

 

 

 This is a quick recap of episode 11 in Season 5 of Yellowstone.   

We see the assassination of John Dutton. It takes three men to take down a Kevin Costner stand-in. John Dutton wears jammies. I thought he'd wear blue jeans just in case he had to do some emergency ridin' and ropin'.

Beth has left Rip in West Texas and is barreling down the interstate learning Italian because she is a genius that just happens to have a hot body and a quick temper. Capiche?

Suddenly, she feels a chill, because Beth is a clairvoyant in addition to being a psychopathic she-devil. 

Back to Kayce moving into his cabin of love. Many minutes are used to show Kayce and his dullard son move furniture. While he is sleeping, he feels a chill, too. He wakes up, and his cell phone rings despite not having it on the charger. 

Back to the present day even though nobody tells us. The Lawyer Son is meeting with the new Governor and the old girlfriend senator. In keeping with all things Yellowstone, the topic of conversation is selling the ranch to the evil corporation.

Governor Dutton's old assistant quits and is hired by the Girlfriend Senator.

Kayce drives to the morgue and convinces the Medical Examiner to re-examine the body due to Kayce's place on the Livestock Commission or being a cow sheriff or something. I never quite understood why he is so important.

What do you know?  The Medical Examiner sees things she didn't see during the first examination.  She didn't notice all of the bruises on stand-in Kevin Costner.  The cause of death is no longer listed as a suicide but is listed as "Moving On To Other Projects".

Kayce drives over to the Capitol and throws Lawyer Son across a desk.  Lawyer Son tries to act, and for a second, you think he might not get slapped in this episode.

Skanky Lawyer and The Subcontractors (I saw them open for The Police) freak out because murder is illegal in Montana.

Kayce goes to see Beth, who is watching TV on her computer. The Native American Big Wigs come to the ranch to express their condolences.  Beth and The One In The Suit have a serious conversation about how much makeup Beth wears because she is somewhere in her forties, but she is still fine.

Skanky Lawyer buys a flip cell phone and drives to Lawyer Son's house. Lawyer Son drops in, and they have a fight, and she gets to slap Lawyer Son, which makes it the second episode in which someone slaps Lawyer Son.  In fact, they should call this show "Punch Jamie" because the guy does have a punchable face.

Skanky leaves the house in a huff.  Lawyer Son calls her, and they seem to make up but just then Skanky gets killed by a blond-headed assassin. ("Blond-Headed Assassin" was the WWE Champion in 1987).

Cuss words:  Plenty.  F-bombs fly in Montana.

Violence:  Mainly on Jamie.  You see Fake Kevin Costner shot in the head.  

Sex:  None

Wind:  A lot at the ranch.

Makeup on Beth:  A ton.

Length of episode:  With commercials, One hour and fifteen minutes.  Without commercials, twenty minutes.

Where Are The Cowboys?  They just disappeared.

Next week:  "Yellowstone" returns to The 6666 ranch to watch Taylor Sheridan ride some horses.  Beth punches Jamie. Rip and Lloyd talk about the good old days when a man could just shoot somebody and throw them off a cliff just across the border without the Federal Gubmit getting all involved.  Kayce's wife cries about something. Kayce sees that stupid wolf again.
