The penultimate episode of Yellowstone season 5 confirms Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western drama will top the Dutton story with a vital scene. The sixth-generation Duttons have a slow-paced outing in what could be the second-to-last Yellowstone episode, with potentially just one installment left in the whole story, as Sheridan has yet to issue an official verdict on Yellowstone season 6. The show has a lot of details to wrap up, and some stories may go unfinished. Still, the Yellowstone season 5 finale will doubtlessly feature one scene, confirmed by Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton in “Give the World Away.”
In Yellowstone season 5, episode 13, Beth gets an important update about John Dutton (Kevin Costner), building up to an emotional season finale moment. As the Duttons auction off parts of their ranch to raise money for their mortgage, Kayce (Luke Grimes) reports to his sister and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) that the coroner’s office has called and their father’s body is ready for someone to pick up. As Monica makes arrangements, Beth tells her husband, Rip (Cole Hauser), that she wants to have a private funeral for her father, closing the chapter on John Dutton III’s fate in Yellowstone.

Yellowstone Episode 12 Left Everything For The Finale
The penultimate episode of Yellowstone season 5, part 2 promises John Dutton’s body will return to the ranch. While Beth notes that she doesn’t want to invite anyone to her father’s funeral, saying it is just for him, Yellowstone’s penultimate features a public ceremony for John at the auction before the bidding begins.

Yellowstone has saved John Dutton III’s funeral for the season 5 finale, since the event didn’t happen in episode 13. John’s funeral is a fitting way to cap off the season, but with countless unresolved storylines, episode 14 has much to tackle. We still don’t know who will win Beth and Jamie’s (Wes Bentley) war, nor the fate of the Dutton Ranch. However, a heartbreaking 1883 reference in Yellowstone season 5, episode 13, may foreshadow the end of the Dutton saga in Montana, as we understand it. Still, while anything is possible, John’s funeral is guaranteed.

The news that her father is coming home shakes Beth because it’s been a long journey for John’s children since the Montana governor met his tragic fate.

With a push from Kayce, the detectives reopened the case of his father’s death and investigated it as a homicide, and the coroner and detective’s due diligence indeed took time. Yellowstone season 5 has also tackled other storylines in the fallout of John’s death.
