Yellowstone fans, get ready for a storm! Episode 10 of Season 5 promises intense confrontations, shattered family ties, and perhaps… murder. With Kayce and Jamie

Dutton on a collision course, viewers are left wondering: Could Kayce actually kill his own brother?

Since Yellowstone’s explosive return, tensions have reached new heights. Kayce, John Dutton’s youngest son, has always tried to steer clear of the family’s political chaos.

But Jamie, the adopted Dutton who constantly claws for power and respect, has been testing the family’s patience for years. Betrayals, backdoor deals, and his alliance with the family’s enemies have left Kayce questioning his brother’s loyalty. Now, with their father John dead under suspicious circumstances, Kayce’s suspicions are sharper than ever.

Beth, ever distrustful of Jamie, immediately accused him of playing a role in their father’s death. And while Kayce initially resisted such a dark notion, Beth’s accusations and the unsettling evidence are making him reconsider. Jamie’s secret affair with Sarah—a key player in the plot against the Duttons—only adds fuel to the fire. Is Jamie involved in John’s murder? And if so, will Kayce be the one to exact vengeance?

The Betrayal That Shattered Kayce’s Trust

In the previous season, Jamie stunned everyone by asserting his claim to Yellowstone Ranch. How dare he, right? Kayce, who has fought to protect the ranch and its legacy, felt the betrayal deeply. According to actor Luke Grimes, Kayce has always walked a fine line between loyalty to his family and his own moral code. But Jamie’s actions have pushed him to the edge. Grimes hinted that Kayce’s patience with Jamie is “wearing thin.” Could this patience snap in the next episode?

As the investigation into John’s death unfolds, Jamie’s involvement becomes murkier. While he may not have directly killed John, his alliance with Sarah implicates him in ways he cannot deny. The emotional weight is clear—Kayce, struggling with grief and anger, is at a breaking point. His protective instinct for his family and the ranch may drive him to make an unthinkable choice.

The Unraveling of Jamie and Kayce’s Brotherhood

According to Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie, Jamie has always feared Kayce but may be underestimating just how far his brother is willing to go. Bentley described Jamie as “desperate” and “blind to what he’s doing to his family.” Could this desperation provoke a deadly confrontation? If Kayce realizes that Jamie’s actions—and his alliance with Sarah—pose a threat to the Duttons and their legacy, he may decide that killing Jamie is the only way to protect his family.

A Deadly Showdown Looms

Rumors suggest that the upcoming episode will bring Kayce and Jamie face-to-face in an emotional clash. Beth and Rip, both simmering with their own anger, are also pushing Kayce toward action. Rip’s underground tactics and Beth’s open hostility could tip Kayce’s hand. Will he succumb to their influence and take drastic measures to eliminate Jamie once and for all?

If Kayce does kill Jamie, the fallout will be enormous. He would face moral and emotional consequences, and without Jamie, the Duttons could lose their last shield against legal threats. Yet, with Jamie out of the way, Beth and Kayce would emerge as the final protectors of John’s legacy. Will Kayce cross the line, or will family ties hold him back?
