Warning: The next incorporates spoilers for season 3 of Yellowstone.
All we’ve to go on, till Yellowstone lastly—lastly! —returns for its fourth (and positively/in all probability/hopefully/please not ultimate) season in November, is one 75-second trailer. The trailer doesn’t give away a lot. On the end result of the season 3 finale, which left Beth in peril in her workplace, Kayce in peril in his workplace, and John oh so near fixing that flat tire, we be taught nothing.
Nonetheless, followers suppose we’ve realized loads and have proceeded to wildly speculate over the end result of Beth/Kayce/John underneath hearth: no less than one Dutton possibly died.
The trailer, some followers consider, seems to tease a Beth Dutton demise just by not exhibiting her; or, no less than, the trailer desires us to suppose this.
Some followers aren’t satisfied. Some followers are nervous. All of us simply need it to be November already. Till then, let’s simply wildly speculate, we could?
Is Beth useless?
It might be hella anticlimactic for the sequence to kill Beth now—and to kill her principally off display screen. They might even be killing her considerably mid character arc. Final season, the sequence put in work coloring extra of Beth’s emotional historical past. We be taught the inciting incident behind Beth’s rift with Jamie. We see Beth try possibly essentially the most dedicated relationship for the reason that dying of her mom. We additionally see the introduction of—up to now—the largest existential risk to the Dutton ranch: Market Equities. Considered one of Beth’s character drives is preservation. Effectively, that and approval—doing Daddy proud by retaining the Ranch. Market Equities has undercut her on each fronts, threatening her sense of function and filial loyalty. To kill Beth off earlier than a correct Market Equities confrontation would simply be, effectively, hella lame.
