John and Jamie later have Lee's body exhumed and cremated, to prevent anyone learning about Lee's inability to deliver the fatal wounds to Robert, and have Lee's ashes placed next to Evelyn Dutton - John's deceased wife. Bob convinces McCreary, who knows the Duttons, to retract his findings on the case after convincing him that his actions could damage "the flock" in Yellowstone, via a sermon that talks about the same issue. He goes to Father Bob, the parishoner who presided over Lee's funeral, and convinces him to sway one of his church's members, Aaron McCreary, who was one of the medical examiners who presided over Lee and Robert's autopsies. The next day, after a brief chat with Beth about making a decision a "father shouldn't have to make", John puts his plan to cover up the autopsies into action. The exasperated Rip calls her the "craziest person" he's ever met. After a comment from Rip about "cheating death", Beth drunkenly runs out of the car they were parked in and chases the wolves away from the corpse, then tells Rip that she's trying to "cheat death", as he suggested. That evening, as they sit drinking Southern Comfort whiskey and watching the wolves, they discuss the issue of death and mortality, and how she hasn't aged a day. To that end, they decide to go on a "first date" (that is, the first date since their first "first date") in a field watching wolves eat the corpse of an elk, after he throws out the idea in jest. Elsewhere, Rainwater and the chief of Broken Rock's tribal police, Ben Waters, examine a physical copy of the same report, and hypothesize that Kayce might have been involved in the altercation, though they have no firm evidence.īack at the ranch, Rip apologizes to Beth over his ill-timed mood killer during their erotic rendezvous, and pledges to make it up to her. During a visit to Kayce's house at the reservation, John presses him to admit the truth of what happened the night of Lee's death, leading Kayce to explain (in so many words) that Robert got what was coming to him. Jamie then goes to John and tells him about what happened, leading John to realize that they will have to sway the examiners involved with the case or Destroy the Evidence. Jamie immediately realizes Kayce was the third individual, and informs Perry and Dutton that he will bury the problem for them. Senior ranch-hand Lloyd intervenes after Jimmy is revealed to have received the brand - which neither of the ranch-hands present, including Fred, Ryan or Colby have had yet - and Lloyd stands up for him to get the other men off his back, endearing himself to Jimmy in the process.Īt the Montana Capitol Building, Jamie is called in to a private meeting with Governor Perry and her District Attorney, Stewart, and informed of a potential powder keg situation - the coroner's reports for both Lee Dutton and Robert Long indicate that a third shooter was involved in the altercation, with the implication that it could cause a territorial war with the Duttons and the Broken Rock tribe if it becomes public. Jimmy manages to do so, but at great pain to himself, forcing him to lie down - and face the wrath of a ranch-hand named Fred, who mocks him for being unable to take a shower. John and Rip come up with a plan to break in the horse - by strapping Jimmy to the saddle with duct tape and forcing him to stay on it until it becomes tame. It has been several days since Lee's funeral, and John takes the wild stallion Kayce gifted to him after the ceremony and attempts to tame it, to no avail. It’s the one I’m about to commit that worries me."
