Cops are all over the place investigating the multiple murders and Dan’s body is covered except his face. Sheriff Donnie Haskell (Hugh Dillon) arrives at Dan Jenkins’ place which is already set up as a crime scene. “This is going to be the end of us,” says John, adding, “We’re going to do it anyway.” He believes Malcolm’s acting out of arrogance, and John wonders why that matters. Jamie ( Wes Bentley) calls Malcolm Beck irrational and says he’s not considering the repercussions of his actions. John, obviously, doesn’t expect all of the Duttons to survive this next stage in the war against the Becks.

Season two episode 10 begins with a touching flashback to John ( Kevin Costner) assisting his ailing father, John Dutton Sr. I could have used another three or four episodes to answer some lingering relationship questions, but this 10 episode season certainly delivered on season one’s promises. Kudos to the season two writers, directors, and actors for delivering a hugely entertaining, completely engrossing season that, unfortunately, was far too short. Paramount Network’s Yellowstone season two comes to an end with an episode that manages to tie up almost all loose ends while still managing to leave plenty of intriguing plotlines to explore in the show’s third season.
