![]() We waited an entire season to unspool any sort of clear conflict, and were left instead with a half-hearted infiltration of Market Equities, a half-hearted back deal with Rainwater, and a discussion on “right” vs “just” stuffed into later episodes and carried along by a half-hearted trial (and love affair) no one seems to care for. Even when we knew the attack came from Garrett, its effects remained singular: At no point did the attack upset already-established power dynamics. ![]() While this attack may have still changed the playing field for the better, it did little. The conflicts were scuttled to make way for a militia attack, which came from none of these sides. We met Angela Blue Thunder, a Broken Rock power figure we thought would do battle with Beth Dutton. We had the opportunity for uneasy alliances, back deal trades, and political power moves. Beth and John were locked into battle with Roarke who was also locked into battle with Rainwater, who was also still breathing down the neck of John. Season 3 set up a clear triangular conflict among the Duttons, Market Equities, and the Broken Rock Reservation / Rainwater. The ranch seems as secure as ever.īefore we break down the season 4 finale, let's bemoan one last time the season that could have been. ![]() The Yellowstone season 4 finale did end with a bang, but it was nowhere loud enough to be memorable, nor precise enough to be earned. Or, if it led anywhere, it led to one patricidal decision less about character and more about ridding the season of a plotline it never intended to develop. Now as season 4 wraps, that previous finale feels like another era-one where every event, every character conflict, every consequence of that attack seems to have led nowhere. When Yellowstone season 3 ended- when John lay dying on the roadside and Beth and Kayce stood facing bullets and shrapnel-we figured season 4 would ride hard: The ranch was under attack from a foe that meant business, and there would be an answer. The following contains spoilers for season 4 of Yellowstone.
