In the series finale -- or at least what we'll call the series finale before we know for sure about any potential spinoffs or future series -- the Duttons say goodbye to their father, their land, and their brother.
After giving John (Kevin Costner) a proper funeral, Beth (Kelly Reilly) decides it's time to keep her promise to her brother, so she shows up at Jamie's (Wes Bentley) house, and the two of them get into a massive fight. Once they're both properly bloodied -- and Jamie is on the verge of killing his sister -- Rip (Cole Hauser) shows up to save his wife. In the end, he lets Beth land the final blow, fatally stabbing the brother she's hated so much.
Rip and Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) then take Jamie's body to the train station, while Beth puts the final nails in the coffin of his legacy, telling the police about his involvement in John's death (and claims that he fled after he knocked her unconscious).
As for the land, Kayce (Luke Grimes) finally reveals his master plan: He will keep the East Camp for his family -- and their 300 cows -- but he sells the rest of it to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) for $1.25 an acre, the same price it sold for back when the white man took it. (For those wondering, that comes out to a total of $1.1 million.) Kayce's only stipulation is that they can never develop the land, nor can they sell it, and Thomas agrees.
With the land sold, the cowboys begin to scatter: Ryan (Ian Bohen) reunites with his girl, Teeter (Jennifer Landon) heads down to Texas to work for Travis (Taylor Sheridan) for some reason, and Lloyd decides to try out a dude ranch (because if he can't cowboy at Yellowstone, he doesn't want to cowboy anywhere). Rip and Beth then relocate to a ranch she bought in Dillon, Mo., where they try to find their own slice of happiness, far away from tourists and, well, just about anybody else.

But speaking of Rip and Beth's new ranch, there is one detail that could point to that future Beth-Rip spinoff. When Rip and Lloyd take down the "Yellowstone Dutton Ranch" sign at the start of the driveway and offer it to Kayce, he declines. Rip then tells Kayce, "We'll keep it at our place." Translation: The Yellowstone sign is with Rip and Beth.
We'll have to wait and see if that's the start of another story.
