Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of Sunday night’s Season 4 premiere of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone.
The close of Season 4 of Paramount’s wildly popular Yellowstone left major questions about the viability of the Dutton Clan and their sprawling ranch. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was shot up and left for dead by a roadside, as a slug hitting the cell phone in his shirt pocket was the only thing that kept his heart beating; daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) was cleaning out her office after being fired when the windows shattered onto the street after her assistant opened a box with a bomb packed in it. And Kayce (Luke Grimes) was last seen overturning his desk and returning fire as gunmen sprayed automatic weapon fire in his direction.
And the list of suspects was great: Could it have been black sheep son Jamie at the prodding of his murderous biological...

Was Yellowstone Season 3 Episode 9 the action episode that will lead to the business showdown for the finale?
It sure seems that way, as there isn't much from an action perspective left to do.
Roarke, on the other hand, is going to rue the day he went up against the Duttons, using dirty tactics to do it.
Beth tried very hard squash Market Equities financially, but when she overplayed her hand, that brought an entirely new angle to the trouble facing the Yellowstone.
Remember that huge swath of land that Beth bought with the help of Bob Schwartz? With Schwartz & Meyer now under the control of Market Equities, the Yellowstone is completely surrounded.
Even if they do manage to keep Market Equities from razing 50k acres of the Yellowstone for an airport, every inch of land surrounding the ranch and the Reservation will be developed, thereby crushing John's dreams to keep the west alive.
