As Christina watches the interview from behind the camera, the woman she’s hired to research issues shares that she’s heard rumors about a coverup at the ranch and is worried Jamie might be involved. Jamie ( Wes Bentley) is busy with a television interview and his political aide, Christina (Katherine Cunningham), doesn’t bother him when his dad calls. He agrees, although he believes her place is with her husband. She asks her grandfather if she can stay with him when she’s released from the hospital. Over at the hospital, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) is able to stand and undergoes physical therapy to help her regain enough strength to walk. It’s too late now and the Feds will likely view the bear’s death as a felony. Rip becomes agitated and John sends him back to the ranch to calm down.Įven the sheriff believes John should have just buried the bear. Rip confronts the sheriff, pointing out the bear has powder burns on his nose, proving he shot the bear from close range when it charged. John whispers to Rip that he should have just buried them without calling the authorities. The sheriff doesn’t believe Rip’s story that both tourists slipped when he threw them a rope. John ( Kevin Costner) is warned Fish and Wildlife are going to assume Rip killed the bear (which is a criminal act) and then murdered the tourists to keep them from telling the cops. Returning to 2018, the bodies of the two tourists and the bear are retrieved. (This backstory confirms Rip will always be loyal to John.) John warns him he’ll have to prove himself, if he wants to work at his ranch. He can’t fight or steal, but Rip assures John he’s never started a fight or stolen anything in his life. John gives him some food and offers him a job, if he agrees to leave his past behind. The boy admits he killed his father and finally introduces himself as Rip. John puts two and two together and realizes this boy is the lone survivor of a domestic dispute that was just in the news. John asks to see his hands and decides the boy isn’t a drifter. The boy threatens John with a stick, but drops it once he realizes there’s a gun pointed at his head. The flashback continues with a man fetching John Dutton ( Josh Lucas) to check out a boy he found in his hayloft. The boy picks up a frying pan and slams it down on his father’s head, repeatedly. He then witnesses his father viciously beating his mother. A teenager, face bloodied, comes to and finds his younger brother dead on the floor.
