Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Yellowstone season 5, episode 13, “Give the World Away.”
Since John Dutton III’s death during theYellowstoneseason 5, part 2 premiere, his children (minus Jamie, of course) have been trying to save the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, and Kayce might have the solution ahead of the finale. The Paramount Network neo-Western dramaTV show created by Taylor Sheridanfollows the aforementioned Dutton family, the owners of the largest ranch in Montana. Over the course of the series, the characters have undergone numerous hardships in order to retain their power. However,the Duttons' biggest challenge is inYellowstoneseason 5, part 2.
Paramount Network will release theYellowstoneseason 5 finale, written by Taylor Sheridan, on Sunday, December 15, at 8 pm ET.
AfterJohn’s death inYellowstoneseason 5, episode 9, his family is in danger of losing their land. Jamie welcomes that notion as he stands to benefit from the airport’s construction, while Beth and Kayce try their hardest to protect their home (and figure out what happened to their father). Everything seemed hopeless heading into and for most of episode 13, “Give the World Away.” However,Kayce has figured out a way for the Dutton family’s legacy to live to fight another daybefore theYellowstoneseries finale.
Beth Successfully Stages An Auction To Raise Money For The Ranch
The Duttons Raise Over $30 Million
Beth’s idea of saving the Yellowstone Dutton Ranchin the show’s penultimate hour is to hold an auction. As Rip saidinYellowstoneseason 5, episode 12, they would rather lose their horse, cattle, etc. than their land. So, Beth stages an auction to raise money, and hundreds of people come to the ranch to bet on almost everything the family owns (including the wagon that dates back to1883). Consequently, they might be able to pay off an absurd amount of taxes and keep their home from turning into a place utilized to increase tourism.
Yellowstone Just Foreshadowed Kayce’s Death
Yellowstone season 5, part 2 has put the spotlight on Kayce, but in doing so, Taylor Sheridan may have set up the death of John Dutton’s youngest.
Bythe end ofYellowstoneseason 5, episode 13,the Duttons raise over $30 million.To many, this might seem like enough to save the ranch altogether. However, it would only hold the family off for one year, and it would be quite difficult for the ranch to make money in that year with no horses or cattle. So, Beth, Kayce, and Rip will have to find an alternative solution to protect their family’s legacy. The good news is that Kayce already knows what they have to do to save the ranch.

Yellowstone Season 5 May Have Created A Continuity Error With A Character Retcon
After waiting almost two years for Yellowstone season 5, part 2, it might have been easy for the audience to miss one error in the premiere.
Following the auction, the twoDutton siblings discuss their future inYellowstoneseason 5, episode 13’s final scene.Beth is hopeful after raising $30 million from the auction,but Kayce is already two steps ahead of her. He poses a hypothetical question to his sister — if Beth were to sell her $300,000 car to Kayce for only $1, and he registered it, would the sales tax be based on what he paid or the car’s value? Beth is confused about what her brother is getting at, but she tells him it will be what he paid for it.
Based on the ending ofYellowstoneseason 5, episode 13, the finale will show Kayce working to save the ranch (which most likely means striking a deal with Chief Thomas Rainwater).
Kayce doesn’t reveal anything more about his plans. He just smiles, gets in his truck, and starts to drive away. Meanwhile, Beth begins to understand what Kayce is implying and remarks, “Why didn’t I think of that?” She chases Kayce’s car down and asks him, “Who?” Kayce says to give him a day to “make sure.” Beth kisses her brother on the cheek and thanks him before leaving. Monica, who is sitting in the passenger seat, questions Kayce about the exchange, and he explains thatto save the ranch, they have to give it away intheYellowstoneseries finale.
