This article contains spoilers forYellowstoneseason 5 episode 11.
After such a highly-anticipated return, its disappointing to see how oftenYellowstonecontinues to drink from one specific well.
Episode 11, entitled Three Fifty-Three, changes all that.
How many people over the years have tried to kill John Dutton?
In the early going it was Dan Jenkins (Danny Huston) but all he got was strung up.
Yet look at what has happened almost immediately after Johns death.
The woman who ordered the hit is then hit only days later.
Nothing can ever be the same.
Whats different about this time, however, is Jamie is out of options.
He cant go crying to Rip like he did when he murdered Sarah Nguyen (Michaela Conlin).
Hes recently lost Senator Perry (Wendy Moniz) as an ally.
Now, Sarah is gone.
The puppet-master shaping what Jamie does is no longer around to shape him.
Jamie could do anything.
He has nothing to lose.
He is probably the most dangerous hes ever been.
Its safe to say that several people could end up having a violent end in the next three episodes.
It may not be a foregone conclusion that Beth will literally be the cause of Jamies death.
Maybe shell just sit back and enjoy seeing what hes reaped?
Perhaps Jamie will take his life, ironic after playing a part in Johns fake suicide.
New episodes of Yellowstone season 5 premiere Sundays at 8 p.m.
ET on Paramount connection, culminating with the finale of December 15.
