While it might seem like Sheridan is trying his best to distance himself from the Duttons and move to greener pastures, he’s not done with Montana just yet. A couple of Yellowstone spinoffs are in the works, including one that follows Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler on their new ranch. However, that show isn’t as far along as Y: Marshals, the spinoff that puts John Dutton’s youngest son, Kayce, in the driver’s seat. But rather than honoring what’s come before, the newest project in the Yellowstone universe is undoing a major development that made a bad ending slightly better.
Yellowstone Rushes to the Finish Line
The final season of Yellowstone is similar to all the other ones: a corporate entity wants to take control of the Dutton ranch and use its land for profit. While John is usually around to keep the vultures in check, he gets murdered at the hands of assassins in Season 5, forcing Beth and Kayce to step up. They both know that their brother, Jamie Dutton, is somehow involved in the plot, but he has connections out of the wazoo, making the fight feel impossible. Just when it looks like it’s over, though, Kayce comes up with a genius plan that will keep his father’s dream alive and ensure that Jamie doesn’t get what he wants.
By selling the land to Thomas Rainwater, the head of the Broken Rock Reservation, Kayce makes it so his family’s ranch will be preserved forever. However, the former cowboy has one condition: he wants to keep a small part of the ranch for himself and his family to live on. That way, he can provide for them without having to pick up another badge. It’s all a little too convenient, but it fits Kayce’s character, who is tired of all the fighting. Well, at least he was because he’s about to be thrown back in the fire.
