One sheet lists all Riggins’ previous cellmates. Jamie then explains to Kayce why he never visited John in the hospital: he was using his position to squash investigations into the attack on the ranch that left several militiamen dead to visit John would have complicated his impartiality as Attorney General.Īt the end of the episode, Jamie receives prison records for Riggins. He affirms his loyalties to the Duttons, a gesture that in earlier episodes felt empty and manipulative, but now feels increasingly genuine. The development would put further pressure on the Yellowstone to sell.ĭuring his talk with Kayce, however, Jamie seems to buckle he still desires John’s approval, appearing chuffed when told John needs him. Later, when hearing about a lawsuit aimed to stop development of the Market-Equities-backed airport, Jamie plays hardball, vowing to push the development forward, anyway. Their plan still appears to be land acquisition at the expense of the Dutton family. He then thanks Randall for invigorating him, signaling a growing bond and trust between the two. Jamie stands on his new land with his father, Garrett Randall, remarking how it’s the first thing he’s ever owned. She also expresses disbelief at Warner’s offer, suspecting there’s something else behind the overly fair deal. Later, Beth confers with John over the potential employment, explaining how it might be useful for her to work for the enemy. Presuming the offer too good to be true (because Beth still hasn’t agreed to sell any part of the land trust), Beth makes a seemingly impossible demand: in exchange for her working with Market Equities, she will acquire all of Market Equities’ shares in Schwartz & Meyer, helping her vindictively ruin them. Warner then makes an offer (for some reason now on the defense): Beth will join Market Equities to help oversee all development in Montana, protecting the Yellowstone by making Market Episode billions in other projects. Stubbornness, she says, is not a successful business model. Warner counters (apparently forgetting her own threat), explaining how she’s already leasing part of Jamie’s share of the ranch and that the ranch will continue to lose money anyway. After the threat, which Beth takes with a Beth smirk and Beth-sized sip of liquor, Warner reveals what she’s after: the land trust that Beth set up for the Yellowstone. While head of Mergers and Acquisitions for Schwartz & Meyer, Beth had bled Market Equities stock prices, an action Warner now threatens to file litigation over. In the closing moments of the episode, we’re given the season’s first big reveal: Riggins is more connected to familiar Yellowstone characters than we previously thought.Īfter being ousted from Schwartz & Meyer-and after threatening Schwartz with destruction-Beth meets with Caroline Warner, the new CEO of Market Equities. John then killed the man at the “train station,” resolving to gain more information on Riggins. The man told the group he was hired by a federal inmate named Riggins to organize the attack. Last week introduced the baddie when Rainwater and Mo handed John Dutton the man who organized the militia attack on his family. The main development this episode, however, concerned the series' newest antagonist. (Despite the 1893 flashback in the Yellowstone season 4 premiere-itself something like a tease for the upcoming 1883 prequel series-we have yet to revisit that side of the Yellowstone universe since, with the entirety of episode 4 taking place in the present, shortly after the events of episode 3.) The episode opens, however, on the road to Texas, the series making strides to simultaneously tease its spinoff series 6666, which is in development and will take place at the famous Four Sixes ranch. After rivers of bloodshed, Yellowstone’s fourth episode turns down the mayhem, taking time to reset the chessboard that includes major moves from Market Equities and plots by the turncoat team of Jamie and Garrett Randall.
