The chickens came home to roost in the first of Sunday’s Yellowstone episodes — and they sure as hell left Jamie’s goose looking cooked!

Though the black sheep of the Dutton family did his damnedest to talk Sarah out of running the exposé on John for which he was the main source, the reporter wouldn’t be swayed. She wasn’t even worried in the slightest about being sued. “I’ll have legal call and walk you through your lack of options,” she said, cool as a cucumber.
At the end of the hour, Jamie — and why he keeps doing this, I’ll never understand! — turned to Beth for advice. Instead of offer words of wisdom, she delivered a blow to his cheek and dragged him by the hair to Daddy. “What did you do,” John asked, “that scared the only person I know who doesn’t get scared?”
Yeah, this was not going to go well for ol’ Jamie.
‘IT’S A BIG MISTAKE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN’ | In flashbacks, a teenage Beth and Rip bonded over the tragedies that had befallen their families — his because he hadn’t been big enough to protect them, hers because her fear had gotten her mother killed. Neither Beth nor Rip knew how to kiss, they admitted, but they shared a tender first one, anyway.
In the present, Beth apologized to Rip for her tryst with Walker — needlessly, it seemed. “‘I’m sorry,’” Rip reassured her, “is two words you never have to say to me.” Later, Beth called John on his treatment of Rip, who looked up to him as a father. But “I’m not his father,” John reminded her. “I’m Kayce’s father.” And at the moment, “I’m making a shift. Rip’s making a sacrifice.”
In other developments, Kayce violently accused Dan of poisoning the Yellowstone’s cattle. The developer’s defense? As much as he’d have loved to have hurt the Duttons, he didn’t even know how to kill cattle. While John was being mystified by Dan’s innocence, Donnie was receiving a bottle of bourbon, a bullet and a note telling him not to forget who he worked for. When the sheriff subsequently took the fall for the shooting in the previous episode (recapped here), Beth assumed that her father had gotten to him. But John hadn’t. Must be those Becks again!
