‘Yellowstone’ Fans, This Viral Reddit Theory Figured Out If Beth or Jamie Will Die in Season 5
The Paramount Network show is set to return in November with new episodes.
In the blink of an eye, Yellowstone is reaching the end of its road. After co-creator/showrunner Taylor Sheridan decided to conclude the Paramount Network show with season 5 part 2, new details have slowly emerged about the last six episodes. While some folks are waiting to hear if Kevin Costner is really leaving the cast, others have been busy theorizing how the series will unfold — and there’s been mention of a surprise death.
As viewers may remember, in the midseason finale, John (Costner) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) were on the same grim page that Jamie (Wes Bentley) needed to be taken to the train station (a.k.a. killed and tossed into the mass graveyard) after he called for the Montana governor’s impeachment. But Jamie had no plans to go down without a fight and didn’t hesitate to hire his own killer to take out Beth.
Though fans started looking at the odds of who could survive, some believe both will because it’ll actually be Summer (Piper Perabo) who gets caught in the crossfire. Back in January, a thread on Reddit grabbed people’s attention with the title “Summer will be killed by Jamie’s hitman instead of Beth.”
User @ingrahamtx went on to explain their theory, writing, “Since Summer is living in the main house, I really think Jamie’s hitman will mistakenly kill her instead of Beth. That is the only reason I can see why she is in John’s house … I can’t see Beth getting killed just yet.”
The Yellowstone fandom witnessed the environmentalist activist become romantically involved with John in season 4. After having her prison sentence commuted when he entered office in season 5, she was released under house arrest at John’s house on the Yellowstone ranch. Unsurprisingly, Beth didn’t take the news well. After a bloody brawl, Beth and Summer agreed to coexist.
