Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 started with one of the most shocking episodes of the series. It depicts a pivotal moment that will undoubtedly shape the remainder of the show. It involves Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) and his girlfriend, Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri). In Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 10, the immediate ramifications of their actions are grief, anger, and promises of revenge.
Here is what Jamie and Sarah did in Yellowstone Season 5.
Did Jamie’s girlfriend Sarah kill John in Yellowstone Season 5?
Yes, Sarah orchestrated the death of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton in Yellowstone Season 5. John was found dead in the premiere episode of Season 5 Part 2, and it was initially deemed as suicide because a handgun was found beside his body. However, it was revealed that Sarah came up with the plan with Jamie’s help and reached out to Grant Horton to carry out the assassination. By the time Jamie expresses his doubts, the deed is already done.
In Episode 10, Jamie’s siblings and Rip (Cole Hauser) have begun to figure out what happened. Although Kayce (Luke Grimes) seems mostly unsure about Jamie’s involvement in John’s death, Beth (Kelly Reilly) is so certain that she confronts Jamie and Sarah. She slaps Jaime multiple times and promises, “I will be the last thing on this planet your rotten f****** eyes will ever see, and I will be smiling.” As she leaves, she also targets Sarah. Beth later speaks to Kayce over the phone and notes that Jamie was looking anywhere but at her. She adds, “You know who could look me in the eye? That f****** viper [Sarah] who lays in his bed every night.”
An inevitable conflict is brewing with Beth, Kayce, and Rip on one side and Jaime, Sarah, and the vested parties backing them on the other. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter held between the two parts of Season 5, Bentley reflected on his character’s trajectory. “For Jamie, everything he’s doing in life… John is the one who told him who to be,” the actor said. “And when Jamie became that, John demanded so much more out of him and was never satisfied with him. So if John’s gone, and Jamie is already a lost soul, what is he going to be then? Who is he aiming at? What’s his fight about? What are his real feelings? So, not to say what’s coming, but if you don’t have John for Jamie, it’s interesting to find out: What is that to him? So maybe we’ll see that,” he added.
