Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for episode 4 of “Dutton Ranch,” “Starting with a Bullet,” now available on Paramount+.
Welcome to another week at Dutton Ranch. But instead of making a fuss, everyone is drunk and depressed. There are sick animals, teenage angst, and a trailer exploding. Will Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) be able to cope with the disaster that befalls their ranch? Please take a look.
Oh, and Rip is going to kick J.R. Simon’s (Chuck McCallum) ass, the guy who sold the bull. Oh my god, Oleanna (Natalie Alyn Lind) shouldn’t talk to Beth like that! “That person has a pure heart. If you violate that, I will make your life a living hell.” Oh, welcome back, old Beth! Ah, that’s interesting. Is it possible that an alliance between Beth and Oleanna is happening? Beulah rotated her joints better than Oleanna and was really flexible. Carter (Finn Little): Go to school, dude! That shitty job you’re trying to do looks terrible! Oh, never mind Everett (Ed Harris). He’s tired! OK, it looks like Beulah is trying to seduce him. Then that’s fine – he needs a drink! Is Dwight (Ray McKinnon) just taking advantage of Carter? He’s not an overachiever! Oh, how sad! Don’t cry, Beulah! I like that she’s not just a bad guy. Dwight is giving me the creeps. “Now that you’ve fucked her, you might as well feed her.” Wise dating advice from Beth. Well, this might be the most depressing scene in the world of “Yellowstone.” Rest in peace, cows! Does Dwight have a leopard? Is this a Joe Exotic situation? OK, Dwight is definitely flirting, right? Damn, did that cow broker fabricate the whole thing? He’ll pay! Oh, have you been attacked by Rip with your tight white skin? Embarrassing! Did you just get beaten up and burn down your trailer? Rip’s punishment seems relatively modest. He had to kill so many cows! Wow, did Rip get teary eyed? This episode had a lot!
Until next week, Dutton Squad!
