The Duttons and their cowboys have many reasons to remember why they are battling so hard to keep Yellowstone and their land in Paradise Valley in Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 6, “Cigarettes, Whiskey, A Meadow, And You.” Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser’s characters Beth and Rip sneak away to their own little corner of heaven for a romantic rendezvous after a nearly perfect day spent herding their cattle. While Tate (Breckin Merrill) and Kayce (Luke Grimes) focus on their recovery, John (Kevin Costner) enjoys doing some cowboying with his old friend Emmett ( Buck Taylor), who unpredictably passed away in his sleep. There is a tiny military detachment that comes to the Broken Rock Indian Reservation and they appear to have something against stray dogs. Unexpectedly arriving in helicopters, the armed men are shooting the helpless animals, much to Mo’s (Mo Brings Plenty) dismay. (tvacute.com) Here is all you need to know about the conclusion of Yellowstone season 5 episode 6, in case you missed any of the exciting moments.
Yellowstone season 5 episode 7: Jamie and Sarah plot to convict John.
Yellowstone season 5 episode 6 Recap
As you might anticipate, the episode opens with the Montana skyline as John (Kevin Costner), Beth, and Rip, three members of the Dutton family, prepare to round up and eventually brand their cattle. After briefly ruining her father’s happiness, Beth waxes lyrical and country-girl poetic as she describes to Rip her ideal slice of paradise.
When Mo tells them they’re killing people’s pets that have only strayed from their homes, it turns out the itchy trigger-fingered brutes are actually a secret service team securing the area before the President arrives. Mo calls Rainwater and presents his tribal police badge (Gil Birmingham.) When the Native American leader shows up, he learns that Angela (Q’orianka Kilcher), who serves as the President’s head of Native American relations, is actually behind the event, which she helped organise so that the POTUS may support Rainwater’s political competitor.
In Jamie’s (Wes Bentley) bedroom, where he is questioning Sarah’s (Dawn Olivieri) motivations for continuing to sleep with him, tensions are also escalating. She asserts that her only intentions are to assist him in eventually stealing his father’s governorship and in resuming the airport project. It appears that Jamie is completely on board with this plan based on the steamy shower scene that follows.
While the cowboys are still away working with the cattle to prepare for the upcoming branding, Summer is back at the Dutton ranch wandering around the property. Visit the Dutton family’s secret graveyard, gaze at old family photos, including those of John’s late wife, and get to know Monica, who enlightens her on the qualities of the Dutton family and their sacred land while helping her peel potatoes for the big branding party.
While the cattle are being rounded up, the majority of the Dutton family and the bunkhouse staff are relaxing. While Beth enjoys an off-brand Marlboro and a flask of whiskey at a magnificent location that Rip has scouted for her, Kayce (Luke Grimes) and his son Tate spend some quality father-son time together. The former appears to be as content as ever, setting aside her customary fiery demeanour in favour of some prairie-fueled tranquilly.
Yellowstone season 5 episode 6: John’s Friend Emmett Walsh dead
But it’s not all sunshine and picture-perfect scenery for the Duttons; sorrow has sometimes accompanied them on the trail. Emmett, the old rancher friend of John, falls asleep beneath a tree but doesn’t get up the next morning. John is devastated by the loss but pleased that his friend received the ideal cowboy send-off.
#YellowstoneTV Moments like this are what this show does SO well. John tells his asst to be happy for Emmitt, but he has the slightest catch in his voice when he tells Beth and Rip what happened. He's sad, but, man, he's a real envious of the simplicity of the end he got. 👏🏾👏🏾 pic.twitter.com/D5pOHPhVGv

Back at the ranch, where Gator is slicing up succulent BBQ for the day’s celebration and Ryan’s (Ian Bohen) country singer infatuation Abby (Lainey Wilson) is getting ready to play, things are literally heating up. John rushes back to tell Emmett’s wife Ella (Anne Cullimore Decker) the news as the festivities begin. While the widow sobs in his arms, he consoles her as the press secretly records the touching scene on camera. As the crowd watches, the branding of the calves gets started, and Rip rides off to relocate the remaining cattle.
Lynelle (Wendy Moniz), a former flame of John’s and a senator from Montana, is also present. She also strongly advises him to schedule a meeting with the President when he is in the state, noting that she has begun dating the secretary of energy. John is pleased that she is laughing with him, even though he is a “hypocrite,” but he objects to the notion that he should campaign for office rather than brand his cattle.

In another part of the party, Ryan and Abby dance, kiss, and decide to jump into a relationship that most likely has no future. Young Carter (Finn Little) is likewise asked to dance by a teenage girl. After being rejected by Summer, John and Lynelle also end up two-stepping on the muddy dance floor. Rip and Beth watch the festivities from a distance since they only want to be with each other.

Yellowstone season 5 episode 6: Ending
It appears that Yellowstone will ride into the sunset with an unusual, somewhat cheerful conclusion for the second week in a row. But wait a minute. Before the credits start to roll, Jamie and Sarah, who appears to have spent the entire show having sex, are reintroduced. They are sipping beverages while watching the evening news segment on the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch MEPP while curled up under a blanket. They witness John consoling Emmett’s widow there after his passing. The news anchors claim that Governor Dutton was “exactly where he’s supposed to be” as he consoled his people, rather than criticising him for missing the opportunity to visit the American President at Broken Rock. He will now be perceived in the public as being incredibly upbeat.
#YellowstoneTV Oh, she's good. Emotionally manipulative, beguiling, seductive – she knows exactly what's doing. Jamie is too fcuking stupid to see the forest for the trees. She will achieve her objective, he'll be ruined and she'll just walk away. I cannot wait to see it. pic.twitter.com/u9wItb35wX

Jamie frowns as he reclines naked on his couch with Sarah and says, “I swear that man could fall in a mound of cow shit and come out smelling like a rose.” As they observe, Jamie begins to doubt himself once more. He admits that his adoptive father “is hard to beat in a fair fight.” Sarah responds, “I don’t think we can allow him come up to the battle, Jamie,” bringing the programme to a depressing close as condemning music builds.
Next Sunday, December 18, Episode 7 of Yellowstone will air only on Paramount Network.
