While the battle for the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is behind her, Beth Dutton’s past will doubtlessly continue to haunt her in the spinoff.

At the end of Yellowstone season 5, Beth moves to a ranch in Dillon, Montana, where she and Rip will presumably launch their own cattle endeavor. While little is known about Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff story so far, the offshoot can build on the characters’ rich history in the original series, including the grief they have experienced.

Jamie Dutton Caused Beth’s Greatest Tragedies In Yellowstone

Jamie Caused Beth’s Greatest Tragedies In Childhood And Adulthood

Sadly, it was Beth’s brother, Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), who caused two of her three greatest tragedies: losing her father, and losing the ability to have her own family.

We learn in a flashback in Yellowstone season 3 that Jamie was responsible for Beth’s hysterectomy, signing off on the procedure to remove Beth’s uterus when he took her to the Broken Rock Tribe clinic. Beth had confided in her brother, but Jamie breached her trust.

Beth & Jamie Dutton’s War May Still Not Be Over After Yellowstone Season 5

Jamie Dutton’s Death Is Still Unsolved

In the sibling war between Beth and Jamie, Beth got the last word after John Dutton’s death. Still, it might not be over yet. Beth had suspected from the beginning that her adopted brother was behind John’s attack.

Even before then, Beth had declared war on Jamie over his impeachment of their father, the governor of Montana. After John Dutton died in the premiere of Yellowstone season 5, part 2, Beth was even more resolute, vowing to kill Jamie.

Beth Can Never Forgive Herself For Her Third Greatest Tragedy

Evelyn Dutton’s Death Still Haunts Beth

While she can never bring back her father, Beth’s revenge on her brother provided John’s daughter with some closure amid her grief. Beth had also long held Jamie’s decisions about her reproductive health against him.

She must feel a sense of relief, part of Jamie’s murder serving her own need for vengeance.

That said, with Jamie’s death, Beth can begin to cathartically move past her past trauma, free of its source, notwithstanding that Beth should be in prison for her Yellowstone finale crime.

Beth has no way to redeem her third great tragedy.
