Yellowstone Recap: Season 5, Episode 9

by Junna Base November 11, 2024

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 9, “Desire Is All You Need,” which premiered Sunday, November 10, on Paramount Network.

This week everything is as usual quite normal Episode of “Yellowstone” – just kidding, things are totally wild! In real life, new episodes have been delayed since January 1, 2023, and the series’ star, Kevin Costner, quit before filming this second half of season five. Without Costner, patriarch John Dutton has to find his way somehow. What will happen to him? Will there be a time jump? Who else will Beth (Kelly Reilly) hit in the face with a brick? Check out all the big moments and burning questions diversity had approximately the first episode of the second half of the fifth season.

This calm before the storm – a quiet moment at the shooting range with Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) – makes me fearful of what is about to happen.
Reilly already leaves it all on the field, with Beth’s haunting, primal screams setting the tone of this episode.
The crime scene is interesting… There’s more blood than you’d expect, but no spectacle is made of John’s death.
This is already the best acting performance of the series from Kayce (Luke Grimes), whose quiet sadness provides an excellent contrast to Beth’s big emotions.
“It was Jamie” – I think Beth is on the right track when she points the finger at her other brother, played by Wes Bentley. Then again, maybe she just saw the recap of the Previously Seen section from last season?
Jamie’s shady call – he’s such a weasel!
“I don’t know what to believe anymore…” – Oh Jamie, your lies are so sneaky!
Suicide?!? will anyone Do you believe that?
Wow – Reilly wins the Emmy with this performance!
Huh… Costner is still first in the credits! Is there an entertainment lawyer who works as hard as his team?
While it’s sad to see Costner go, if this is indeed the beginning of the “Yellowstone” finale, think about how effective it was to have Logan Roy die long before the “Succession” finale, leaving all the chess pieces had to move around during the final episodes. I could imagine that this will create some juicy drama.
The upbeat music and time jump of “Six Weeks Later” are shocking! Let’s go!
Rip (Cole Hauser), who is kind to a little boy but then defies the hippies, is an example of the red-state humor that warms my city-dweller heart.
Ah, Beth smokes and drinks during her community service and then her hours get cut because she’s so annoying. Classic Beth, never change, no notes.
Maybe it’s the result of living in a tiny New York apartment, but the rustic new house that Kayce, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecken Merrill) move into seems amazing just as it is…
I want to know more about the fixer Sarah (Dawn Olivieri) hires. What other business ventures do they have? Does the security guard know she works in a nefarious place?
Despite the sex tape, the fixer should be wary of Jamie, who is the most wishy-washy person in the world.
I love a cameo from creator Taylor Sheridan…on a horse! Hey Taylor, since you’re on 6666, when is this spin-off coming out?
Jimmy (Jefferson White) is reunited with his old Yellowstone gang! How sweet – and they still give him shit, albeit moderately more enlightened shit. Growth!
Ugh – did we really need a masturbation joke from Gator (Gabriel Guilbeau)?
The beloved Walker (Ryan Bingham) waxes poetic about the land that will “forget you until you disappear.” While Sheridan is great with soapy twists, he also brings wonderful language to the series in its quieter moments.
Yellowstone is great when they cast real cowboys – look at the character on Billy Klapper’s face!
“When he’s gone, we’ll all be out of legends, and no one’s trying to be next.” More great writing, and it seems like it could be a theme for this season.
“In 30 years no one will do anything like that anymore. Nobody.” Likewise, it seems as if Rip lamenting the disappearance of the cowboys signals a creeping fear of what’s to come.
Wow, Sarah is ice cold drinking champagne in lingerie while Jamie cries. Her chaos is a great addition to the series.
I love how rich people collect inheritance taxes before a body is even in the ground.
Wow, Beth figured it out Exactly What happened to John very quickly! Your next interaction with Jamie will likely be more painful than a punch in the head…
RIP Billy Klapper – you were real!
“You should be scared. I know everything.” Damn, Kayce ends this preview of future episodes with a bang!

See you next week, “Yellowstone” fans!
