How Did ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 End? Break Down (Death Spoiler).

Yellowstoneseason five has finally come to an end, and nothing will ever be the same at the Dutton Ranch.

After weeks of threatening Jamie (Wes Bentley), What (Kelly Reilly) through her promise to avenge the death of her father, John Dutton (Kevin Costner), in the season finale Sunday, December 15. Following John’s funeral, Beth waits for Jamie at his home and then attacks him with bear spray. The two get into a heated argument before Beth lets him know that she sold the ranch for $1.1 million to the reservation. Tear (Cole Hauser) arrives and gets Jamie off Beth, only for Beth to stab him to death. (Rip later took Jamie’s body to the train station to hide the evidence.)

Earlier in the episode, Kacey (Luke Grimes) refers to the vision he had in the season 4 finale, where he realized he had two paths: to save his family or the ranch. He decides to save his family and sells the land to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) for $1.25 an acre — the same price his ancestors bought it for — on the condition that Kayce can keep East Camp and that Thomas never develops or sells the land. Thomas and Kayce share a blood oath, making them brothers to each other and to the country.

As for the bunkhouse crew, Walker (Ryan Bingham) followed by Laramie (Hassie Harrison) to Texas, Jimmy (Jefferson White) goes back to the Four Six with fiancé Emily (Kathryn Kelly) and Teeter (Jen Landon) asks Travis (The Yellow Stone cocreator Taylor Sheridan) for a job at Bosque Ranch. Jake (Jake Ream) and Ethan (Ethan Lee) took jobs at N Bar Ranch in Montana, while Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) is looking for work in West Yellowstone. Ryan (Ian Bohen) is the first to leave, going to Fort Worth, Texas, to see Abby (Lainey Wilson) during his show at Billy Bob’s Texas in Forth Worth, where he professes his love for her.

Looking to the future, Beth buys a ranch 40 miles west of Dillon for herself, Rip and Carter (Find Small), while Kayce – who teased that he plans to start his own brand – is enjoying life at East Camp with Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecon Merrill).

The second half of Yellowstonea fifth season premiered in November, nearly two years after season 5A ended in January 2023. The show’s return was initially delayed due to reports that Sheridan and Costner were feuding over filming schedules. Both men denied the speculation at the time, but Costner, 69, confirmed his departure from the western drama earlier this year. The 5B season was further delayed by the twin strikes of Whole Government Accounts and SAG-AFTRA last year.

The season 5B premiere finally confirmed how Sheridan, 54, eliminated Costner’s character. The police found John’s body in the governor’s mansion and initially ruled his death a suicide. It was soon revealed that Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) hired a hitman to assassinate John and stage the scene.

Sarah claimed she did it for Jamie – who hinted last season that he wanted his dad out of the picture – but the estranged Dutton was not happy with the way she handled matters i’ with his own hands. Things only got worse for Jamie when Sarah also diedmeeting her end when she was murdered by the hitman’s team as an attempt to distance herself from John’s murder.

Meanwhile, Beth and Kayce never believed that their father had died by suicide and they quickly discovered that a nefarious operator was at work. They immediately suspected Jamie and made it their mission to ruin his life (with Beth reminding him along the way that he was never really a Dutton to begin with).

While the season 5B finale was originally meant to be Yellowstoneseries finale, it now appears that the show will continue in another form. Earlier this month, Variety a Closing date reported that Reilly, 47, and Hauser, 49, had reached a final agreement repeat their respective roles as Beth and Rip in a spinoff series. Back Closing datethe new show will have the word “Yellowstone” in the title – unlike the previous one spinoffs 1883. eg a 1923 – because it will share “the most DNA” with the flagship series.

Last month, Reilly said she would be happy no matter what Yellowstone‘fate.

“I loved this season. There were some very different territories to explore, so I’m not sticking with it. I’m happy to put her back in her padlock box,” he said Town and Country in a cover story in November. “I’m definitely interested in Beth, and who she is after certain things happen. Who is she in peace? As an actor you’re like, ‘Ooh, let me do that.’ Wouldn’t it be fun to watch Beth go to therapy?”
