Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 6: Uncovering Significant Death

In the fifth episode of Yellowstone’s fifth season, one of John Dutton’s loved ones is murdered in what the cowboys call the “perfect death.” But first, a warning: there are plot twists aplenty ahead. Every cowboy, rancher, and day laborer the Duttons could muster drove off to the vast plains of Yellowstone as Season 5, Episode 5 “Watch ‘Em Ride Away” ended.

In episode 6, they team up to face the audience that was inspired by that episode. Among them is John Dutton’s longest friend (Kevin Costner), a seasoned cowboy and wise elder who has worked with many of the others in the room for decades.

Emmett Walsh, a Yellowstone mainstay and John’s staunch ally, is pictured here. In fact, Emmett is the main character on the most popular TV show since the pilot episode “Daybreak,” and he’s been played by western legend Buck Taylor all the time.

As he prepares to drive to the meeting, Emmett says: “wouldn’t miss this for the world.” This line is from Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 5. But neither he nor the spectators could have known that this was the last trip.

‘Yellowstone’ says goodbye to Emmett Taylor

In the sixth episode, “Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow, and You”, we see Kayce (Luke Grimes) and his son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), Yellowstone cattle herding like professionals. To fulfill John’s grandson Tate’s (Brecken Merrill) only wish for the trip, Emmett reveals that he has packed a fly fishing rod. John laughs as the two oldest members of the group cycle off to cool off at the creek.

You might make some money with it, boy. When his son, Kayce (Luke Grimes), points out how much they could benefit from a day like this, he tells his dad, “You could bottle it up and sell it.” Including Emmett. Later we find John and his old companion encamping under an even older tree. John makes fun of Emmett’s snoring, but by the time he finishes, the cowboy in his eighties is already sawing logs.

John groans, My father used to say, ‘If a man’s snoring keeps you from sleeping, you’re not tired enough. More peaceful than they’ve ever been, the pair go to sleep under their tree with their heads resting on their saddles. After this we see a beautiful montage of the next morning as John tries to wake up his old friend. However, Emmett is still asleep.

Like the hero every cowboy hopes to become, he met his end on the trail

Emmet looks cold and numb even from a distance. The nice cowboy, John immediately realizes, has passed away peacefully in his sleep. In other words, ‘He didn’t come to. “He just died right here on the trail that every cowboy dreams of,” John tells Rip (Cole Hauser) with a sob in his throat. Nevertheless, a cowboy’s job is never over.

Before Emmett’s wife returns home to see his horse return without a rider, John and Clara must race back to the ranch to break the news. They do, thank God, but Emmett’s wife is distraught and John feels her pain.

Sobbing on his shoulder, the local news crew turns their attention away from the celebrations to cover the touching scene of the governor of Montana comforting a grieving local woman after the death of her husband, the state’s Fish & Game executive . “How?” Mrs. Walsh finally manages to inquire about Emmett’s death.

Just like a real cowboy. John holds her close as he sobs, leaning her head against his saddle and staring at the stars. His eyes were closed. He didn’t even bother to break them open.

Senator Lynelle Perry (played by Wendy Moniz) also shows up. However, she does not believe that Mrs. Walsh has accepted Emmett’s passing. At this point, John and I part ways. She claimed that the mere possibility of his death casting a shadow on this surf would be a source of great embarrassment to him. She’s just as much of a cowgirl as he is,’ he says.

He could fall into a heap of cow dung and come out smelling like a rose

A news report on the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch MEPP is the highlight of the whole thing. One that Wes Bentley’s Jamie and Dawn Olivieri’s Sarah Atwood manage to catch in his apartment. They will see John comfort Mrs. Walsh after Emmett’s passing. The governor was “exactly where he’s supposed to be,” according to the newsreaders, as he reassured the citizens. And from now on, support for John among the common people will be unshakable.

When asked about this, Jamie frowns: “I swear that guy could fall into a pile of cow shit and come out smelling like a rose.” “I must confess, he is hard to beat in a fair fight,” he adds about his adoptive father. Sarah, however, has other ideas. Yellowstone Season 7 Episode 7 airs Sunday, December 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network.
