(crowd cheering)
- We have a lot of work to do and
(dramatic musical sting)
a lot of work to undo.
(dramatic percussion music)
- Her father is now the governor of Montana.
- Even if that means at the twilight
of his life, take a miserable job,
there's nothing he won't do to save the ranch.
- He's become a politician for a reason.
He's fighting for the legacy.
(Beth crying)
- Tears is how I feel.
- They're tears of joy, daddy.
- If there's anything about Beth
it's she loves her father.
She's incredibly proud of him.
(dramatic percussion music)
For him to be governor,
he's got the upper hand, again.
He doesn't want to be doing that
but she sees in him a potential for great change.
- I've conceded the election to Mr. Dutton.
(crowd clapping)
- You can go back to New York
and take those fucking babies with you.
- So Jamie is now back in the fold.
(dramatic percussion music)
- It's confusing and dispiriting and demoralizing
for Jamie to sit here and watch
John live the dream he's had.
- She believes that he is out just for Jamie.
- I think it's a real challenge.
He's trying to walk a line without getting in trouble
and for the first time in a long time,
he feels a bit like he's in check.
- We are New York's novelty and California's toy.
Not anymore.
- Now John's playing hardball and making decisions,
whether that's good or bad,
that's up for debates.
- So he needs to get schooled a little bit,
and I'm there to help him learn.
- You have no friends in this building John,
(dramatic percussion music)
you're gonna need to bring your own.
(dramatic musical sting)
- Within the native community,
there's a good and a bad to it,
we just can't figure out what it's gonna be yet.
- He'll kill the hotel.
It's a good thing for the land.
- Things happen when folks get into office.
It could go either way.
- There's always been a split in terms of traditionalists
and people who feel like we've gotta be more aggressive.
So now Rainwater is trying to sort through it.
- You had a chance to be rid of him,
you did nothing and he grew stronger.
And it's all your fault.
- Angela Blue Thunder.
I don't know what Rainwater was thinking
when he thought he was gonna bring her in as an ally,
but it might be backfiring on him at this point.
I'm still trying to make alliances,
so it's a very thin ice kind of thing.
(dramatic musical stings)
(rocking country music)
- Now, the state has a cowboy governor.
- Gonna be quite a party.
- The party ain't for us, Lloyd.
- It changes a lot, not only for Rip,
but for all the bunkhouse boys.
- Outta have a party like this every year.
- Actually, Jake, they throw it every four years.
- We see the bunkhouse coming into contact
with the beginnings of John's new role.
- It's a different world.
JD was like, "If I'm doing it, I'm doing it at my ranch."
- First time I've been here in a month.
- You got a cowboy who's going,
"I don't know why I'm wearing this shirt."
- We've never seen that many people on the ranch ever.
We're far more comfortable with like a thousand cows
than we are with like 300 people that we don't know.
- There was almost this feeling of
we're not in Kansas anymore.
- Lainey Wilson plays a singer in the show.
She doesn't play herself, but she plays Abby.
- I am honored and humbled to be joinin' Yellowstone.
- At the inauguration party that we have at the ranch,
I see her sitting along a fence post,
so of course I walk up to her
and I really don't have this planned out so much
but I've got my rope in my hand.
(rope hits fence post)
- That was pretty slick.
- This immediate interest, immediate attraction.
- We end up two stepping in the arena.
That is the beginning
of the "Hey, it's nice to meet you.
I like you.
I hope to see you again soon."
(rocking country music)
(dramatic acoustic guitar)
- With Kayce and Monica,
he's got his job as livestock commissioner.
(water splashing)
- We trade.
- You wanna feather in your cap,
or do you wanna see these sons-of-bitches
in prison for the next 10 years?
- They have their own home now,
Monica's pregnant again.
- They've got their second child on the way
and all the dreams and hopes that come with that.
- Me and Kelsey talk about this a lot,
as soon as this family seems to be going in one direction
it just seems like they're tortured.
- The cramps are gettin' worse.
- That's three weeks early.
- They're really bad, Kayce.
- It's terrible.
- It's really hard to see Monica
go through
that trauma.
(car honking)
(Monica gasping)
(car tires squeal) (car honking)
(car crash)
It's heartbreaking.
(dramatic acoustic guitar)
- Stephen directed that scene in the hospital.
It was our first time back
for the season where we were all together as a cast.
It was really meaningful.
(dramatic acoustic guitar)
- It was difficult, it was heartbreaking,
and because it signified hope
and it signified change for them,
there's very few words,
people not knowing what to say
but a lot of heart.
