SPOILER ALERT:ย This post contains spoilers from the fifth episode of โDutton Ranch,โ โPeaceful Find Peace,โ which is now streaming on Paramount+.
After last weekโs dreary, cattle-slaughterinโ episode, itโs nice to have a soft reboot of the show, as Rip (Cole Hauser) offers to get the 10 Petal Ranch into shape for Beulah (Annette Bening). Itโs a great way to get all of these players tied together. Letโs dive into this weekโs drama.
- Oh hell yeah, George Jones on the radio. Great start!
- What plan is Rip going to concoct with Beulah?
- Love Beulah flirting with Rip!
- Ok, itโs interesting how the show has finally revealed its actual plot five episodes in. The first four seem to be a bit of a prologue, in retrospectโฆ
- Rip sizing everybody up sure is intimidating. โGet your asses in the saddleโ โฆ yes, sir!
- Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Zachariah (Marc Menchaca) are having one of my favorite โYellowstoneโ universe conversations, where it sounds really profound and Western, but I also donโt understand what theyโre talking about. But it sounds nice as they stare into the distance!
- What computer project is Beth up to? I feel like theyโre dropping breadcrumbs, but I donโt followโฆ
- Oh, weโre back to creepy Dwight (Ray McKinnon) and his weird animal setup.
- Why did Carter (Finn Little) take Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind) on a date to Dwightโs exotic animal freakshow?
- Uh-oh, Rip asking Austin (Sterlin English) about the disappearance of Wes (Nakoa DeCoite) and his family is going to cause some major friction.
- Love Rip firing Chet (Hart Denton) in front of everyone. Bye-bye, loser!
- I have no love for Chet, but it is pretty incredible that he left the bunkhouse with a classic โFuck all yโall.โ Everyone has been tempted at one point in their life to drop one of those bombs on their coworkers.
- Whoa, what was Dwight actually up to to earn the sheriff raid?
- RIP to a real weirdo. But the police are definitely acting with too much force!
- Iโd eat some of that 18-hour brisket, too! Damn!
- I love Beulahโs fancy golf cart.
- Wow, Chet is playing with fire by threatening the Jackson family. You know they could easily kill you, too, right?
- Not to give other families parenting advice, but do Rip or Beth ever text Carter to see where heโs at? I donโt think they need to be helicopter parents to confirm that heโs, say, not in jailโฆ
- Interesting how Rip sees so much of Beth in Beulahโฆ
- $11,000 a month seems kind of modest for all of the work Rip has to do, right?
- Interesting conversation between Beth and Beulah. A lot more mutual respect than I expected!
- Ah, this was Bethโs computer plan. Interesting.
- Beth has so much business confidence. I guess she has a good deal, but also maybe she doesnโt? Who knows?
- โBeth works for me now.โ Damn, Beulahโs not mincing wordsโฆ
- Well, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) is sure going to fuck shit up.
Until next week, cowpokes!
