Yellowstone Calls Out Its Most Baffling Detail Just Before It Ended

The Yellowstone finale closes out various storylines and brings character arcs full circle, but it also addresses one of the show’s most puzzling and debated aspects. Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western drama (supposedly) ended in December 2024, more than six years since its premiere, following the last episode of season 5 — “Life Is a Promise.” The finale features all the Yellowstone season 5, part 2 characters going their separate ways. They start new chapters in their lives, including one ranch hand who asks for a job from a familiar face.

The Duttons try to save the ranch during Yellowstone’s ending, while Beth seeks vengeance for John’s death and everyone decides what to do after leaving the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. Thankfully, most of these stories are given complete endings before the credits roll. Kayce sells the land to Chief Rainwater for $1.25/acre (its cost when the Duttons first acquired it) on one condition — he and his family can keep their home at East Camp. As for Beth, she finally kills Jamie and gets away with it, winning the Dutton family war. By the end, the ranch hands also move on, including Teeter.

After learning she would soon be out of a job, Teeter asks Travis to join him at Bosque Ranchin Yellowstone season 5, episode 14. Travis tries warning her against it, seeing that he’s a strict boss. But, Teeter pushes on, needing to find work and wanting to get out of Montana, away from where Colby died. Travis agrees and gives her money. He tells Teeter to use it to buy an audiobook and “learn how to speak f***ing English because I don’t talk hillbilly, and I ain’t trying to f***ing learn.”

Ever since Teeter’s introduction in Yellowstone season 3, her strong Texan accent has baffled the characters and the audience, many of whom have difficulty understanding her. Jennifer Landon, who plays Teeter, doesn’t have a Southern accent in real life, meaning the one she uses in the show is fake. So, Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone character pointing out this confusing detail feels like he’s poking fun at himself and the series for coming up with Teeter’s accent.

Teeter’s strong accent has been a topic of debate among fans since she joined the cast in Yellowstone season 3. Some claim that is really how some Texan women talk, while others from the state believe it’s unrealistic. Whatever the case, Teeter’s accent is part of what makes her stand out from the crowd. Per Looper, Jennifer Landon once said during an episode of The Official Yellowstone Podcast, “[Teeter] always made sense to me. I always knew exactly what she was saying.” Perhaps Landon can reprise her role in a Yellowstone spinoff and continue confusing viewers.
