The finale of Dutton Ranch is right around the corner, and I think we need to prepare for the worst. This spinoff on the 2026 TV schedule has proved to be ruthless, and after Episode 8 ended with Joaquin calling his dad and Rip and Beth learning about the Jacksons’ corrupt business, it feels like all-out war could break out. Meanwhile, the cast is joking about the potential death that could happen. However, while they were keeping things light, Yellowstone history tells us we should actually be quite worried for our favorite characters.
