SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from the Season 5, Episode 13 episode of “Yellowstone,” “Give the World Away” which premiered Sunday, Dec. 8 on Paramount Network.
It sure looks like “Yellowstone” is gearing up for one last rodeo, but the show keeps on giving to its audience: Jamie (Wes Bentley) is sniveling to another woman! Show creator Taylor Sheridan is ripped, shirtless and yammering about corndogs! Beth (Kelly Reilly) is angrily playing strip poker! Read on for our pithy rundown of the night’s events:
I’ve never understood if the Duttons are rich as hell or debtors with wild loans. The economics of ranch life don’t make any sense to me! Jamie sitting around depressed in his underwear and yelling at the TV … shouldn’t you be running around scheming or shredding more documents? Of course Beth has her brother saved in her phone as something profane. Going back to the finance issue, Beth is flying private. How do they have the money to afford that? I want Walker (Ryan Bingham) to comfort me after any future losses I have. His chat with Teeter (Jennifer Landon) is so soothing! OK so with the fire sale of everything at the Yellowstone and Rip (Cole Hauser) telling Ryan (Ian Bohen) that everyone should find new work, I guess this really is the penultimate episode. Sadly, this show is ending with bit of a whimper. Sheridan shows us a little more of his character Travis’ private life and he’s … a drinkin’, gamblin’, moderately irresponsible horndog? He seemed to be all business every other time we’ve seen him… Oh, Travis’ girlfriend is played by Bella Hadid. How did she get mixed up in this show? Beth has a lot of nerve asking Travis to help them without commission. I get that they’re on hard times, but you need to pay people for their work… C’mon, Beth — at least stay for corndogs! Welcome back, Christina (Katherine Cunningham). Long time no see. Wow, Christina’s plan for Jamie to go on the offensive is actually pretty smart. I’d definitely watch a prequel series following Young Rip and Young Travis. These announcers are stars. Have them cover other events immediately, like the Olympics or Jake Paul’s fights. Turnpike Troubadours? Great band! This sale is netting some real talent… So the season finale (and final episode?) will be John Dutton’s funeral, right? Beth’s solution to grief doesn’t sound too effective, but it’s very Beth! Episode highlight: Beth’s brutal takedown of Aaron at the bar. Poor Teeter. She did her best! It’s hard to believe that Kayce (Luke Grimes) came up with this loophole idea. Isn’t it tax fraud of some kind? Until next week, “Yellowstone” fans!
