It is all about Kayce. In the morning he is about to be attacked by a bear. Luckily Rip is riding by and scares the bear off.
Only for Kayce and Rip get involved in a ruckus.
To top it all his wife Monica intervenes to break up a fight at school and ends up getting knocked down to the ground. Despite being heavily bandaged, suffering a head injury. No one takes her to hospital.
It is ever so soapy because you just know Monica is going to collapse by the end of the episode.
Much better was the political machinations with Jamie running to be Attorney General, possibly as an Independent.
It leads to a nice showdown between the Governor and Beth.
As for John Dutton. Two of his rivals look to join up. Dan Jenkins and Thomas Rainwater make a land and casino deal. No wonder John is so grumpy, complaining each day has some disaster that he has to deal with.
Again some uneven writing, maybe each episode should focus on fewer characters rather than cast its net in a random way.
