monition : This clause curb major spoilers for theYellowstone time of year 5 , part 2 finale .
Across five seasons of the flagshipYellowstoneseries and multiple prequel shows , fans have embraced the Dutton family saga created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson . But as much as viewers love the Duttons , they ’re not all secure the great unwashed . This sept has been willing to pour down to protect their mystery and their domain , as well as brutally pursue payback outside of the law . That ’s how it go down again in theYellowstoneseries closing curtain . Before the final credits range , the show revealed what happened to most of the major characters , and what might come next .
The fate of the Yellowstone ranch
As ride in the penultimate episode , Kayce Dutton ( Luke Grimes ) had a programme to hold launch the Yellowstone spread . It just would n’t be possible for the Duttons to save it themselves . The family did n’t have the money to pay off the inheritance taxation on the land , and rather than sell some of the land to cover those expense , Kayce determine to fundamentally give the kingdom to Thomas Rainwater ( Gil Birmingham ) and the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock for pennies on the dollar . Rainwater and the kin could n’t afford to devote market rate , and the only ones who could would have redevelop the land and ferment it into something unrecognisable .
Kayce ’s conditions for the sale included a carve out for the 5,000 - Akko plate that he built for himself and his family on the land , as well as warrantee to never sell or develop the land . He also requested that Rainwater look after the generations of Duttons who were sink on the land , something that was almost immediately betray by the young children of the tribes who started pushing down the Dutton family ’s grave mark . Rainwater ’s right - hand man , Mo ( Moses Brings Plenty ) , caught the children in the human action and chided them before cry out a reminder that the Duttons protect the land and go for it . The first gravestone Mo put back upright belong to Elsa Dutton ( Isabel May ) , the tragic heroine from the prequel series1883 .
May made a guest coming into court as Elsa narrated the end of this chapter and noted that the fate of the Yellowstone cattle ranch was foreshadowed in1883when the tribe articulate they would rectify the Edwin Herbert Land in seven generations . Almost like clockwork , that ’s exactly what pass .
The funeral of John Dutton
Kevin Costner did n’t appear in the 2nd half ofYellowstoneseason 5over a very public falling outwith Sheridan and Paramount connection . His part , John Dutton , was killed off in the midseason premiere , and he was finally laid to catch one’s breath in the finale . The conclusion was made to bury John next to his late wife in the cemetery on the Yellowstone property . It was an aroused assemblage , particularly for the Duttons and their lengthy family of ranch hands . Kayce took the chance to tell his late father that he forgave him , while his former enemy , Rainwater , vowed to protect the land .
Rip Wheeler ( Cole Hauser ) took it upon himself to swallow up John ’s coffin and his last words at John ’s grave were a vow to keep loving his married woman — and John ’s daughter — Beth Dutton ( Kelly Reilly ) . Beth had a different promise for John , as she consecrate to retaliate his end … and then took off right after the funeral to do just that .
Beth vs. Jamie: the final battle
Jamie Dutton ( Wes Bentley ) , the pitch-black sheep of the Duttons , was n’t kept in the cringle about John ’s funeral in part because everyone else in the family bang he had a role in John ’s destruction . To keep the pressure and the public off of his trail , Jamie practiced and cede a speech where he deny that he was sleeping with Sarah Atwood ( Dawn Olivieri ) and vowed to prosecute his father ’s murderers from his authority as the attorney superior general of Montana . Jamie credibly even thought that the manner of speaking might land him in the regulator ’s sign someday .
First , Jamie had to endure a vicious assault from his sister , Beth , as well as a face full of bear mace that shortly left him blinded . Regardless , Jamie turned the table on Beth and nearly beat her to death until he realized that he could use her attack to frame her for John ’s murder . He was only stop in his track when Beth uncover that the family line had already sold the cattle ranch to the tribes , and Jamie ’s dreaming of garner riches from the redevelopment of Yellowstone died a hard demise . Before Beth could play along those dreams into the afterlife , Rip arrived and pose in a few shot at Jamie before Beth take away the violent death blow for herself .
Beth ’s architectural plan seemed to hinge upon Rip ’s later arriver , although she nearly got herself murdered in the process . While Rip disposed of Jamie ’s eubstance and car , Beth call the law and enjoin the arriving officers that Jamie had beaten her after she accused him of being involve with killing their Father-God . She also supply enough particular for the police to get investigating Jamie as a fugitive rather than the victim of slaying himself . By the end of the episode , a warrant is out for Jamie ’s check , but his dead body may never be ascertain .
Justice for John Dutton?
Jamie ’s death end the book on Beth ’s pursuance for revenge , but the men who attack her male parent and staged his demise as a suicide seemingly escape capture and Justice Department . The show does n’t even seem to be all that concerned in ascertain who the assassins were , as it spends a good mickle of time with the fictional character aver cheerio to the spread and to the Duttons . Of of course , this finale would n’t be consummate without one more appearance by Sheridan ’s character , Travis Wheatley , which plays like an out - of - controller ego trip . Travis really comes off like a real jerky when one of Yellowstone ’s ranch hands , Teeter ( Jennifer Landon ) , approach him for body of work and he berates her command of the English spoken communication as “ hillbilly ” before order her to listen to a book on tape about how to verbalise English .
Nevertheless , most of the characters get their happy endings as Kayce and his family put together their own steel of cows , while Rip and Beth put down root on a much smaller ranch .
How does the Yellowstone season 5, part 2 finale set up the spinoff shows?
It kind of does n’t . There ’s nothing in this episode that points toThe Madison , which will asterisk Michelle Pfeiffer , Kurt Russell , Patrick J. Adams , and Beau Garrett . None of those doer appear in this episode . The only direct link to the next spinoff series is through Rip and Beth , since bothCole Hauser and Kelly Reilly recently signed onfor an entirely differentYellowstonesequel serial publication .
The irony of any likely spinoff for Beth and Rip is that they seem happy in their newfangled rest home , and there does n’t appear to be much drama in their relationship or the town near their ranch . So there ’s no obvious draw for the next series , unless Sheridan is going to ricochet some fresh problems on the brace when the Modern show ineluctably premieres some clock time in the futurity .
Peacock will eventually streamYellowstoneseason 5 , part 2 , but has n’t presently set a day of the month for when the episode will be available .
