[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2.]
Yellowstone‘s largest burning query has been left lingering since Season 3: When will Rip discover out what Jamie did to Beth? There are solely 4 episodes left within the sequence, so if it’s going to occur (and it ought to), it must occur quickly.
Beth (Kelly Reilly) revealed in Season 3 Episode 5, “Cowboys and Dreamers,” that Jamie (Wes Bentley) dedicated an appalling act of betrayal when she was pregnant with Rip’s (Cole Hauser) little one as a young person. She went to her huge brother for assist to get an abortion, and he repaid her belief with a pressured sterilization. He took her to Indian Well being Companies for the process. The employees advised Jamie that when performing abortions, they had been additionally required to sterilize the affected person (pressured sterilization remains to be authorized within the U.S. immediately). Jamie agreed to this with out telling Beth, and she or he didn’t study till later. She by no means advised Rip as a result of she knew he would kill Jamie for it.
Beth has been holding that truth over Jamie’s head as leverage ever since. She advised John (Kevin Costner) earlier than he died, and it modified his already struggling relationship with Jamie for good. However Kayce (Luke Grimes) doesn’t know both. She is greater than justified in her hatred for Jamie due to this, and people emotions have solely deepened within the time since that bombshell reveal. Beth confronted Jamie about John’s demise within the second episode of Yellowstone Season 5 Half 2, and whereas he didn’t really kill the Dutton patriarch, he couldn’t deny his tangential, unwitting involvement and that he knew the demise wasn’t a suicide. Beth is satisfied that Jamie did it, and she or he promised to kill him herself the subsequent time she noticed him.
Beth threatened to inform Rip the reality about her incapability to bear kids in Season 5 Half 1. This served as blackmail to maintain Jamie beneath her thumb, however now Beth desires to do the deed herself. Rip has killed loads of folks on this sequence, however Beth has evaded doing this sort of soiled work. We may see a world the place they kill him collectively. Irrespective of the way it shakes down, Beth, Rip, or Jamie dying due to this secret and John’s demise appears to be an inevitable finish for this drama.
Forward of the ultimate season premiere, TV Insider requested Bentley if Rip will study the reality this season. It’s “very attainable,” Bentley confirmed. Beth telling Rip the reality is “the factor [Jamie] can be most afraid of,” he stated, including, “It looks as if her largest and best choice [to kill him] can be Rip. That’s positively a risk arising.”
The third of six episodes this season airs this Sunday, November 24 at 8/7c on Paramount Community, making this the official midway mark of the ultimate stretch. With the sequence finale on the horizon, we wish to know if you wish to see Rip study the reality. There are a few choices. He may discover out quickly, leaving time for the aftermath to play out. However you can argue that given how lengthy this secret has been lingering, the narrative payoff would pack extra of a punch if this main second was saved for the final episode. The one choice we don’t like is the likelihood that Rip won’t ever discover out. That will be an enormous disappointment if we by no means see him study the reality after a complete sequence of buildup.
What do you assume: Ought to Beth inform Rip the reality about Jamie earlier than the sequence is up, or is that this sequence finale materials? Make your alternative within the ballot beneath, and in case you have theories about the way it may occur and the fallout, tell us within the feedback part.
