Let us evaluate the fate of everyone after the Sunday night episode.

The first ten minutes of the premiere of the fourth season of Yellowstone Park may allow most viewers to receive treatment, which is full of drama, bloodshed and trickery. In addition, somehow, there are 110 minutes of equally fast-paced minutes! Although you have to wonder, how will creator Taylor Sheridan and his company maintain this state for the rest of the season? Perhaps it is best to revel in the fact that when we come out of this pandemic, we are all just vipers, shaking in a casual cooler, waiting to bite people in the face.

Now, if the last sentence doesn’t make sense to you, I have to ask: Why don’t you read the autopsy report in Yellowstone Park? If you are not careful, you will be taken to the train station. Hurry up and chase it! If you really understand it, then you will know that there is a lot to discuss. But perhaps the best way to solve *in the double-storey house and Case’s house and hospital* frantically gesturing all of this is to break the mystery of who is dead, who is alive, and what else.

Are you kidding me? After being shot like Swiss cheese in work clothes denim in the third season finale, we thought John would almost certainly die on the side of the road, right? In order to take revenge, he took his own blood and wrote down the appearance of the van carrying the assassin. Fortunately, our favorite Rip found him all year round and managed to get a helicopter to airlift him to a nearby hospital, and our guy survived. He had to enter a medically induced coma, but he survived and continued to cause pain to everyone near him.

First, he insisted on taking revenge on those who shot him, shot Case, blown up Beth, beat Monica and burned his cabin. (Check the list again and tell me about another action-packed show on TV.) Although he seems to be out of trouble, at the end of the premiere, he still felt that it was likely to be John’s true degree of wounds, or more precisely. It is said that the complications caused by them have not been disclosed.

Unfortunately, Beth looked like a hot pocket I forgot in the oven at the beginning of the season because I decided to take a nap. Beth was probably protected by a deep, unbridled aura of anger, and survived the explosion in the finale when the windows of her street office were blown up. (As I guess she would.) She walked out of the building, scorched to the extreme, unable to hear the explosion, and then asked a man on the street for a cigarette. But after a while, inexplicably, the explosion did not leave her physical scars... at least it seemed so!

Beth is an indispensable character in the premiere of this large double-episode. A lot of things have happened in her circle: she befriended a teenage boy in the hospital while she was waiting for news about John. Then after the boy's father was brain-dead, she became his guardian. Like the rest of the family, Beth has (or even more) developed a deep suspicion of outsiders. But we think that there is something in this child that reminds her of the young Rip, and she put her worry aside. In the later part of this episode, in the scene where she and Rip sleep, we see that Beth's entire back is a huge scar. There is a metaphor here, but in light of the previous season’s exposure that Beth could not get pregnant because that bastard Jamie took her to an abortion clinic for sterilization, we chose to embrace this tender family moment.

Rip was very sad. What can you say? His fiancée is very powerful. His father's figure was hit by a bullet. His hut was burned down. But Rip didn't cry—no, no. He turned the energy of the broken man into anger. Let's start with how he calls Roarke of Josh Holloway. Confirming that the market stock was behind Beth’s encounter, he found Roark fishing in the river and asked, "Is this your cooler?" Roarke said no, but Rip went into the water, shook the cooler, and turned it on. , And threw the contents to Roarke. what is inside? A snake! That bit Rock's face! Then Rip put his boots on Rock's chest! Until he died! Screw therapy! kill!

But with every anger of Rip, there will be a soft moment approaching. Rip initially opposed the Beth ribbon's children going home, but he also saw himself in this person. He pulled a complete John Dutton and invited the boy to stay as long as he worked...just like Rip did when he was a kid. John almost laughed when Rip explained his decision, and he said the child could stay. (Well, he actually said "maybe," which is as much passion as you will get from a rancher.)

Case managed to leave his bullet-filled office unharmed, but at the other end of the phone line, Monica was terrified. When she entered their house to pick up Tate and rushed to their cabin, she was attacked by a man wearing a clown mask because there was absolutely no chill in Yellowstone Park. When Monica seemed to be dead, her attacker turned into his own pink mist. Who pulled the trigger? Tate. a child.

After receiving information from Rip, Case went to avenge John's assassination attempt. He managed to eliminate about half of the militia, but he himself was hit hard. But we have not been teased for long. Case is fine; the last time we saw him was sitting in a hot spring with John, John told his son that the Dutton family must kill everyone who tried to kill him. (So ​​this is how they will maintain this state throughout the season...)

Beth scared Jamie away and promised to kill him, which he deserved. Then Jamie tried to buy the land, but he made it clear that it was not for Dutton Ranch. It was as if he wanted to die.

The main story here is Jimmy, who suffered more nerve damage after falling off his horse at the end of last season. He ended the episode with a neck brace, and John told him that he had done almost everything he could for him. He is going to a place where other people are responsible for "turning him into a cowboy."

Unpopular view: The best characters in Yellowstone Park live in broken rocks. They are a group of shrewd crew members, and Chief Rainwater made it clear: If this militia is here for Dutton, then they will come for the broken rock next. So even though John is making a rigorous plan, the good guys at Broken Rock are coming up with their own plan. (In the beginning, I dragged a man with a horse to get information from him.) But there are so many villains, and there is a potential deal between Chief Rainwater and the head of Jacki Weaver's tough market stock board. ? The threats are many and difficult to parse.
