5 Predictions for Yellowstone Season 5 Finale That'll Piss Off Every Dutton Fan

Although the second half of Yellowstone Season 5 won't air soon, it will be the final chapter in the Dutton family's epic yet tragic story that spans over 150 years.

Fans can't stop building theories, but they certainly hope that some of the ones we're going to talk about today won't turn out to be true.

5. The Reservation Gets the Ranch After All

Okay, this is far from the worst-case scenario for Yellowstone and the Dutton family in general: after all, this is native land for the Broken Rock, and for the Duttons themselves it could be a win-win situation of sorts. The land might not be developed and end up as a shallow tourist destination for rich Californians, or as a casino altogether.

Theoretically, even under Native Americans, some of the Duttons and their ranch workers could stay, and the cattle problem could be solved, since Yellowstone will emphasize beef sales, finally solving the Brucellosis problem.

Still, Duttons fans know that for the family, especially John, the land is a matter of pride and heritage, and so it could be a tragic ending for the Duttons to be left with almost nothing and to give up the ranch soaked in the blood and sweat of their ancestors.

4. Or No One Does

The end of the century-long confrontation could be that neither the family nor the Native Americans, led by Rainwater, get the ranch. The land could end up in the hands of the state, other private parties, or even Jamie, who would replace John as governor of Montana but would not want to continue the Dutton legacy in any way.

3. The Duttons Might Not Be the Only Ones to Betray Jamie

Fans who watch the show specifically for the Dutton family story don't all love Jamie, preferring Beth, but it's hard to deny that he's one of the most interesting characters, and his death may disappoint many viewers. After all, despite all his horrible actions, he doesn't deserve a more tragic ending than John and Beth themselves. He suffered enough growing up with a manipulative adoptive father and a hateful half-sister who wanted him dead all his life.

But while his death at the hands of John and Beth can be partially justified, few could forgive Jamie's demise at the hands of other characters. Many feel, for example, that Atwood is definitely not to be trusted: she can still see him as Dutton and use him as a tool just as badly as John did with Jamie.

2. Jamie, Beth, and Rip Will All Die in the Clash. Or Someone Else

Jamie and Beth have knives at each other's throats. Only, knowing Sheridan, this could end very differently than we imagine. For one thing, the confrontation between Jamie and Beth is a tragedy in its own right, showing how much the modern Duttons have lost their sense of family unity. Jamie could kill Beth first and be killed by Rip, who would be left with nothing.

1. Kayce Doesn't Get a Happy Ending

But no matter how it ends, fans will never forgive Taylor Sheridan if anything happens to Kayce and his family. Of all the characters, they deserve the most to have a happy ending and not get caught up in bloodshed, feuds, crime and political intrigue as if no piece of land is worth the lives of their loved ones. Even if they don't get the ranch, though Monica and Tate want to return there, they are the most worthy representatives of the Duttons.
