Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

With only one episode of\u00a0Yellowstone<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0left, the flagship Dutton saga is nearing its fateful end. The deaths of both John Dutton (Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a>) and Colby Mayfield (Denim Richards<\/strong><\/a>) have shaken the cast to their core, and with few avenues left to turn, Season 5, Episode 13, “Give the World Away,” suggests that maybe doing just that is\u00a0how the Dutton legacy is ultimately saved<\/strong>. But until next week’s finale, here’s a rundown of everything that happened in the show’s penultimate episode.<\/p>\n

‘Yellowstone’ Continues to Set the Stage for Its Dramatic Finish<\/h2>\n

Kicking things off, Rip (Cole Hauser<\/strong><\/a>) and Beth (Kelly Reilly<\/strong><\/a>) prepare the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch for auction. Well, not the ranch itself, but plenty of equipment, horses, and stock that will render the ranch effectively useless (but may just save the land).\u00a0Rip and Beth argue over how to run the ranch if everything is sold<\/strong>, and if they can even make a profit going forward. It’s then that Beth asks about Travis Wheatley (Taylor Sheridan<\/strong><\/a>), who is selling some Dutton horses down south. Beth decides to go to Texas to oversee Travis, though Rip doesn’t think Beth should \u2014 because his friend is not below trying to sleep with his buddy’s wife. But, since Beth doesn\u2019t trust Travis to sell their horses properly, she does so anyway.<\/p>\n

“Give the World Away” pivots to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham<\/strong><\/a>) and Mo (Moses Brings Plenty<\/strong>) as they watch over the advancing construction of the oil pipeline, a scene very reminiscent of\u00a0the Season 5B opener, “Desire Is All You Need.”<\/a>\u00a0“There’s nothing I can do to stop it,” Rainwater laments. “Nothing legal, anyway.” Rainwater says the best way to fight is by convincing people to stop selling piping. Meanwhile, at Market Equities, Detective Dillard (Rory Cochrane<\/strong>) hands Ellis Steele (John Emmet Tracy<\/strong>) a warrant to search Sarah Atwood’s (Dawn Olivieri<\/strong>) office for evidence of\u00a0foul play against John Dutton<\/a>. From his own home, Jamie (Wes Bentley<\/strong><\/a>) watches a news report that\u00a0evidence has been discovered that Jamie may have benefited from the land lease<\/strong>\u00a0that John had canceled as governor.<\/p>\n

Jamie immediately calls Beth<\/a>, who is on her flight to Texas, and scolds her. “You destroy me, you destroy yourself. You destroy the entire family,” he explains. “Any legacy this family has earned is eradicated.”\u00a0Jamie tells Beth that he knows every secret of the Dutton family<\/strong>. Undeterred, Beth hangs up, but only after first noting that, unlike Jamie, she keeps her promises. At this same time, Kayce (Luke Grimes<\/strong><\/a>) returns from his own trip to Texas. Monica (Kelsey Asbille<\/strong><\/a>) asks him what happened, to which Kayce replies that\u00a0he made it clear that his family is off-limits<\/a>. “If we walk away from this place, I don’t want them following us,” he tells her. Monica wonders if the intention is to walk away, and Kayce notes that he’s been trying to do so his entire life.<\/p>\n

As all the ranch hands return to the Dutton Ranch, Teeter (Jennifer Landon<\/strong><\/a>) instantly retreats to the bunkhouse. Though Ryan (Ian Bohen<\/strong><\/a>) tries to follow, Walker (Ryan Bingham<\/strong>) steps in instead. “Hating that horse isn’t going to help,” Walker tells Teeter, noting that, just maybe, Colby is still out there doing what he loves, “doing it forever.” Fans who remember Elsa Dutton’s (Isabel May<\/strong><\/a>) fate\u00a0at the end of the prequel series\u00a01883<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0might agree. Just then, Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith<\/strong><\/a>) offers Teeter Colby\u2019s old hat, which she soon dons herself, rejoining the rest of the cowboys. Outside, Ryan asks Rip about Colby’s death. Though Rip explains how Colby saved Carter (Finn Little<\/strong>), he concludes with,\u00a0“It’s just cowboy-ing. That’s it.”<\/strong>\u00a0Rip tells Ryan that he did a good job in Texas, and that “wagon boss” should be on his resume.<\/p>\n

Down south, Beth arrives at the\u00a0Bosque Ranch<\/a>. Now, if that sounds familiar, it’s because “Bosque Ranch Productions” is one of the production companies listed at the end of each\u00a0Yellowstone<\/em>\u00a0end credits. It’s also a working ranch owned by Taylor Sheridan in real life (and\u00a0Sheridan’s character, Travis Wheatley<\/a>, in the Yellowstone universe). By the time Beth finally catches up with Travis, he’s in the middle of a strip poker game, ignoring their Brazilian buyers. Beth soon gets him up and running, and he thrives at the showing. When Beth asks Travis\u2019 girlfriend, Sadie (Bella Hadid<\/strong>), why she\u2019s with him, she explains that it’s all about how he rides. After Beth watches Travis work, she starts to understand the appeal herself, especially after\u00a0he sells the Dutton Ranch’s horses for $3 million<\/strong>\u00a0by posing his maintenance crew as opposing buyers. Even if he is sort of the worst, that’s smart business.<\/p>\n

Afterward, Beth asks Travis to\u00a0come back to Montana<\/a>\u00a0for the auction, believing that what he pulled in the Bosque arena would help the Yellowstone as well.\u00a0Beth knows that nobody can put on a horse show quite like Travis<\/strong>, and he agrees to the task, but only if they play their own game of strip poker for it first. Irritated, Beth says Rip will kill him, but Travis thinks Rip will find it funny. Although Beth loses, he stops her from stripping and instead offers his help with no strings attached. Back in Montana, Rip asks Lloyd (who has been at the Yellowstone for 43 years) to stay on and help build it back from nothing. Though the rest of the hands will be out of a job, Rip is fighting to keep Lloyd and Carter around. “Thank you, boss,” Lloyd answers. “It means more to me than you know.” “I know what it means to you,” Rip replies. “That’s why I asked.”<\/p>\n

That night, Jamie sits outside his baby mama (and former campaign manager) Christina\u2019s (Katherine Cunningham<\/strong>) house before she brings him inside. With their child, James, asleep, Christina asks if Sarah was responsible for John’s death. Jamie confesses the truth, only for Christina to ask why he didn’t just arrest her. Lying to both of them,\u00a0Jamie says that it’s because he was afraid of those Sarah hired to kill his father<\/strong>.\u00a0After her assassination<\/a>, he doesn\u2019t know what to do. “The only reason I’m helping you is because we share a child,” Christina tells Jamie, ordering him to call a press conference and spearhead an investigation into both Sarah and John\u2019s deaths.<\/p>\n

The only way for\u00a0Jamie to get out of this relatively unscathed<\/a>, Christina says, is by denying the affair and accusing those spreading those “rumors” with disinformation. “Praise your father’s convictions, herald his love for Montana and its people. Declare his death more than just a murder, it is an outright defiance of the rule of law,” Christina explains. She tells Jamie that he should publicly brand John’s death “the murder of [the people of Montana’s] freedom.”\u00a0She also tells Jamie that\u00a0he must connect Sarah to the murder<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and make sure the world believes she acted alone. With his entire future at stake, Jamie leaves with a new mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
