We then see within moments that it was Ellis and Sarah's plan all along for Ellis to sort of instantly fail and give Jamie that little W so he could more easily be talked down by Sarah after the fact. He agrees to meet up with her again to further discuss. Jamie easily outsmarts a failed attempt of a lawsuit by Ellis before having very little rebuttal to any of the points that Sarah makes to him. The current Jamie Dutton (Bentley) storyline, which finds him as Montana's District Attorney and dealing with Market Equities' attorneys Ellis Steele (John Emmet Tracy) and newcomer Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), kind of lands right smack in the middle. Come on, Jamie, Do Better ManĪs we said above, it's always kind of been uncertain on Yellowstone whether Jamie is a power player who's stronger than he lets on, or kind of a bumbling idiot who just keeps getting opportunities and failing over and over again. Rip fended them off for the time being, but that's not going to last-there wouldn't be a show if it was. We saw them get jammed in the river last week, and this week some guys were snooping around. The point being made is that John Dutton clearly has a long history with wolves who don't look it, and anyone who might be coming for his throne (or power) as governor is not going to be the surprise they think they might be.īut the Dutton Ranch boys are going to have to keep an eye on what's happening with those national park wolf collars. We know the phrase "wolves in sheep's clothing," and we've been seeing it throughout Yellowstone Beth is openly a badass and kind of verbally berates everyone she comes in contact with, but someone like Monica and even Jamie have proven at times to be more formidable than people around them give credit for. Shall we? Some Wolves in Sheep's ClothingĪfter last week's episode included a plotline where the bunkhouse boys accidentally kill wolves that-whoops! are tagged and live in the national park and aren't supposed to be randomly shot dead-this week opens with a flashback to a young John Dutton dealing with a community problem with wolves. Now it's time to get into the rest of the stuff that did happen in Season 5, Episode 3. Is that a new job-and new Yellowstone storyline-I sense?Īnyway. Native leaders Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) say that Kayce made a good choice, and Mo seems to imply that he can get Kayce a new job as some kind of Montana ranger. Kayce's role this episode is largely limited to what we said above as well he and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) are still grieving the loss of their son in different ways, and Kayce has apparently decided that his vision quest from last year means he needs to put family first before everything else, especially now. But it still makes for a significantly more Costner-free episode than usual, as Yellowstone instead focuses on establishing some other plotlines that will presumably also play majors roles in Season 5. The episode opens with a flashback to Dutton's past (once again featuring Josh Lucas as a younger Costner), and features just a few short scenes of now-Governor Dutton saying cryptic things during a morning coffee with Beth (Reilly) and telling Kayce (Grimes) that it's OK for him to prioritize his family, quit his position as Livestock Commissioner, and have a funeral for his deceased newborn son on Dutton Ranch land. Which is all to say that it also shows how far Yellowstone has come in its 4+ seasons where an episode like "Tall Drink of Water," Episode 3 of Season 5, can come along that only barely features John Dutton as he adjusts to his new role as Governor of Montana. Not to take anything away from the work that Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, et cetera have done on the show, but Kevin Costner is still Kevin Costner. The following story contains spoilers for Season 5, Episode 3 of Yellowstone, titled "Tall Drink of Water."įor as big as Yellowstonehas gotten in its 4+ seasons airing on the Paramount Network, the show's marquee, name, star is still, of course, Kevin Costner as John Dutton.
