Though he has much to be thankful for, Jimmy has broken his word to John Dutton that he would not rodeo anymore, and he faces the consequences of that. Jimmy has also survived, though he has aggravated his previous neurological injuries and is barely functional, facing a long period of physical rehabilitation before he's capable of even basic self-care.
Kayce has also survived, as has Beth, and the three principal Duttons reunite at the ranch for the closest thing they could hope for to a happy reunion under the circumstances. The first episode of Season 4 provides various forms of closure for each character, revealing that John Dutton lives, though he's hospitalized for an extended period and returns home tremendously diminished and with a painful recovery ahead of him. Jimmy's (Jefferson White) fate is still unclear after being thrown from a horse he should not have been riding, while those who have died so far include Kayce's secretary, Beth's assistant (presumably, though we don't see her dead), several attackers at the ranch and the attackers on the road. if you're keeping score, so far the three Duttons whose lives were most directly threatened are alive, though two of them could still very readily not make it. As Rip returns to the ranch to take stock of the devastating situation, he's confronted with one more emotional blow as the dream cabin John Dutton gave him in Season 3 is up in flames.Īnd that's just in the opening minutes before the credits roll, in a 13-minute story arc that will surely go down as one of the most stunningly action-packed, tightly-written and tightly-paced sequences in the history of episodic television. The ranch hands who now wear the brand all rise to the occasion, defending the Dutton ranch by shooting and even hanging several of the gang of attackers, who are wearing clown masks. Kayce and a number of law enforcement officers end up in a firefight at the crossroads of a country road with the surviving attackers, who are attempting to flee in a van, and while they all appear to die in the fight, Kayce - who has miraculously escaped injury to this point - falls to the road after taking a bullet in the chest. Kayce's wife and son, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecken Merrill), also come under attack at the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in the opening sequences of Season 4, and though Monica has tried and tried to shield Tate from the dark side of the family's legacy, he's forced to make a choice that will alter his life forever, shooting one of the attackers in the kitchen with a rifle to save his mom's life. Beth Dutton emerges, dazed and clearly hurt, from the office building where a package bomb has exploded, but fans don't comprehend the horrifying extent of her injuries until later in the opener. John Dutton has suffered particularly grievous injuries that directly threaten his life, and he is transported by helicopter to a hospital in the opening minutes of Season 4 after ever-faithful Rip (Cole Hauser) finds him on the roadside, while Kayce fights his way out of his office, killing multiple gunmen who were attacking him.
