Teeter struggles to balance after Colby's death. One week has passed since bunkhouse favorite Colby (Denim Richards) was killed by a "man-eater" stud horse while saving Carter (Finn Little), who shot and fed the animal to wolves.
After three "Yellowstone" human deaths and one horse, this is the rare episode without Death.
Teeter (Jennifer Landon) still grieves Colby, her lover. Everyone pairing up with their sweeties during the horse and cattle auction doesn't help. Bunkhouse poet Walker (Ryan Bingham) and his cowgirl Laramie (Hassie Harrison) canoodle in front of Teeter.
His tough-talking baby mama: can she save Jamie? Where is Jamie's powerful ex-girlfriend Christina (Katherine Cunningham) hiding? The former Democratic National Committee consultant tells her desperate ex Jamie that she's helping him because of their child's legacy.
Jamie's complaints about police investigations into his murdered lawyer girlfriend, Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), who hired the governor's killers, are ignored.
Jamie is instructed by Christina to deny everything, bluster, and demand investigations. Sarah's Market Equities bosses, the evil firm trying to build the airport blocked by the now-dead governor, may be responsible for the deaths.
Jamie may escape Beth-and-Rip justice by revealing Dutton secrets. Maybe not. Jamie's smug smirk is back. Sadly, no maniacal laugh. Jamie's life-changing speech in the finale will be watched.
