Another episode of Yellowstone is back tonight on Paramount Network.
Following the record-breaking, two-part Season 5 premiere, Yellowstone returns tonight with Episode 3, titled “Tall Drink Of Water.”
John Dutton will be settling into his role as the Governor of Montana, Kayce & Monica will be mourning death of their son John, Market Equities will unleash Sarah Atwood on Thomas Rainwater might have a problem on his hands in the form of Angela Blue Thunder.
And from this new teaser, it also sounds like Kayce is contemplating taking some time away from the ranch, or perhaps his role as Livestock Commissioner. However, we can hear John tell his son:
“This state needs you Kayce.”
It also sounds like Angle Blue Thunder is coming for Thomas Rainwater:
“I’m gonna teach you the master rules… and that will not be pleasant.”
Doesn’t sound good… she’s scary.
I guess we’ll find out tonight…

Yellowstone Season 5: The Cast Reacts To Episode 1 – “One Hundred Years Is Nothing”
Just incase you’ve been living under a rock, Yellowstone is BACK, as Season Five kicked off last night in a two-part premiere on Paramount Network
Last night, we got acclimated to John Dutton becoming governor of Montana, Lainey Wilson making her first appearance on the big screen as new character Abby, a Shane Smith & the Saints cameo, a ton of new music to add to the soundtrack from other great country artists, and so much more.
With that being said, Yellowstone is doing us a favor by recapping Season Five, Episode One in the latest edition of “Behind the Story.”
To kick things off, we get the perspective of the Dutton family after John gets elected governor of Montana, including Jamie, who actor Wes Bentley admits is incredibly jealous of his father getting the job he always longed for one day.
“It’s confusing and dispiriting and demoralizing for Jamie to sit here and watch John live the dream that he’s had… I think it’s a real challenge.
He’s trying to walk a line without getting a trouble, and for the first time in a long time, I think he feels like he’s in check.
And now John is playing hardball and making decisions, whether that’s good or bad, that’s up for debate.”
Angela Blue Thunder is back this season and it seems like that might mean bad news for Thomas Rainwater. It’s clear that she’s fed up with the Chairman of the Broken Rock Reservation, and doesn’t have much patience for Rainwater to figure out what to do about John.
Gil Birmingham, who plays Thomas Rainwater, says it might all backfire on him:
“I don’t know what Rainwater was thinking when he thought he was gonna bring her in as an ally, but it might be backfiring on him at this point. I’m still trying to make alliances so it’s a very thin ice kind of thing.”
They also show the ranch hands at the Dutton ranch getting acclimated to the spotlight, as John hosts his first election party at the ranch.
This is also where we meet Lainey Wilson’s character Abby, who basically catches feelings instantly for Ian Bohen’s character Ryan, the ranch hand who has yet to find the love his life.
And in good ol’ cowboy fashion, he shoots his shot by literally roping her in and two-steppin’ with her.
Wilson calls it an immediate attraction:
“This immediate interest, immediate attraction.”
And by the end of the video, we see Kayce’s wife Monica dealing with the pregnancy of their second child, going into labor early with Kayce away near the border.
Of course, nothing ever goes smooth for Kayce and Monica, who are arguably the most moral characters in the Dutton family, and they wind up losing their second baby John in a horrific car crash.
Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton, admits that he and Kelsey Asbille (Monica Dutton) talk often about the constant struggles of their characters:
“As soon as this family seems to be going in one direction, it just seems like they’re tortured… it’s terrible.”
Kelsey adds:
“It’s really hard to see Monica go through that trauma… it’s heartbreaking.”
Gitty up, I’ve gotta great feeling this season is gonna exceed the hype.
