Yellowstone season 5 recap: what’s the story so far?
John Dutton will do anything to ensure the Yellowstone, the largest contiguous cattle ranch in Montana, isn't taken away from him, and his children are frequently adopting illegal means to protect it from property developers, criminals, and the Native American inhabitants of Broken Rock Reservation.
Season 1 saw John come into conflict with Chief Rainwater, who believed that the Yellowstone land belonged to the inhabitants of Broken Rock. The series’ first big tragedy involved John’s son Lee Dutton getting fatally shot in an altercation between the two sides as Lee tried to retrieve the ranch’s cattle. Meanwhile, John’s combative and substance-addicted daughter Beth did everything possible to stop property developer Dan Jenkins from buying up the land.
The ruthless Beck Brothers were the key antagonists of season 2, and Chief Rainwater and John Dutton were united against them. As Beth continually thwarted their business plans, she was kidnapped by masked men along with her nephew Tate. Dan Jenkins was killed, but John's son Kayce and Beth’s beloved Rip were able to rescue her and Tate and terminate the Becks. Elsewhere, eldest sibling Jamie was covering up his murderous deed after a journalist threatened to expose some Dutton family secrets.
Jamie's story was key to season 3, with the aspiring politician discovering that he wasn’t actually John’s biological son but that he had been adopted when his father Garrett was jailed for murder. The Duttons went to war with investment group Market Equities, and Beth made it her mission to run the company into the ground. Having made so many enemies, it was impossible to say who orchestrated the hits on Kayce, Beth, and John, whose consequences reverberated throughout the next season.
After John recovered in hospital, violent reprisals were enacted by the Dutton clan as they hunted the militiamen responsible. But who had ordered these co-ordinated attacks? Chief Rainwater and bodyguard Mo beat a confession from a loud-mouthed suspect in their casino, and Jamie traced the hit back to a prisoner called Randall. After visiting him in jail, it turned out that his dad Garrett had plotted the assassinations, to secure power for his son. When Beth found out, Jamie’s already scornful sister gave him an impossible ultimatum: rot in jail or kill your father, basically.
Season 4 concluded with Jamie putting a bullet through his father’s brain, and CEO Caroline Warner firing Beth for sabotaging Market Equities: promising, in no uncertain terms, to wreak vengeance on the Dutton family. With trouble and possibly jail looming, Beth pulled together an impromptu wedding at the ranch, kidnapping a priest to marry her and childhood sweetheart Rip, with just John, ranch hand Lloyd, and young orphan Carter as witnesses.

What can fans expect from Yellowstone season 5 plot
With John Dutton being sworn in as Governor of Montana, it looks like sibling rivals Jamie and Beth will finally put aside their differences and bring their political A-game to the halls of power, with Beth becoming chief of staff.
But we could see absolute power corrupt absolutely as John faces relentless opposition from Market Equities and their allies to buy and redevelop the Yellowstone, while also trying to keep Chief Rainwater on his side. Dutton Snr. only has a few scruples left; and as new threats come thick and fast (and often armed with guns), he may quickly abandon those too.
Viewers can look forward to a showstopping confrontation between Caroline Warner and Beth, as the aggrieved Market Equities CEO makes good on her word to ruin the Duttons, starting with Beth. Expect John’s recently married daughter to endure a campaign of harassment and intimidation. But we sure know she can defend herself. The season 5 trailer shows her rivals on the business end of a bottle during a barroom brawl or three.
Finally, after Kayce’s warrior initiation ceremony, his relationship with Monica is looking rockier than ever. The outcome of his vision quest left an ominous impression, and he relayed to Monica that it had foretold “the end of us". That could mean the breakdown of his marriage, or worse, the complete destruction of the Duttons? Whichever turns out to be true, expect unprecedented levels of nail-biting drama this season.
