The finale starts off with several of the ranch hands saying their goodbyes and where they are off to next. Jimmy, Mia and Travis go back to the 6666 in Texas, while Walker says he’s going to follow his girlfriend on the rodeo circuit.
Kayce sold off the Yellowstone ranch to Chief Thomas Rainwater for $1.25/acre, the same amount the Duttons purchased it for originally. As part of the deal, he secured the North Camp land for him, where he would live with Monica and Tate.
Speaking of land, Beth shows Rip a plot of land asking if they could find a way to make that their new home, and after they discussed it and he agreed, she said she already bought it that morning.
The Duttons laid patriarch John Dutton to rest at a small funeral with just the family, minus Jamie, where Beth promised to get retribution for her father’s death.
Following the funeral, Beth went straight to Jamie’s house, armed with bear spray and a big knife, where she snuck up on her estranged brother and the two got into a brawl.
During their fight, Jamie tells her that she is going to be arrested and charged with their father’s murder and she’ll rot in a jail cell as he oversees the ranch being sold in pieces to be transformed into a recreational destination.
She informs him that it was already sold and he gets more angry, but Rip shows up and throws him into a wall. Before Rip could do much damage, Beth interrupts him and shoves the knife right into Jamie’s heart and demanding he look her right in the eyes to fulfill her promise of being the last face he sees.
Next, she tells Rip to call 911, and that he should take the body to the train station, the ravine over the state border where there’s no police jurisdiction. She says she’ll spin a story that Jamie assaulted her and he ran off while she was unconscious.
Rip and Lloyd dispose of the body and set Jamie’s car on fire in a field in Iowa, while Beth’s story is validated and there are warrants issued for Jamie’s arrest.
At the end of the episode, Yellowstone signage is removed from the ranch by the tribe. Mo Brings Plenty follows a group of kids into the woods where he finds them destroying Dutton family headstones. He stops them and says it’s hallowed ground and as he puts headstones back in place, we hear the voice of Elsa Dutton, from 1883 played by Isabel May, as she narrates the ending moments and connects dots tracing back to the family’s first trek from Texas to Montana.
