Summary[]
Rip and the other cowboys make their way to Texas, leaving Kayce to run the ranch. As John lends support to Rainwater and the Broken Rock Reservation in defiance of a pipeline, he learns that Jamie has publicly called for his impeachment. Beth finds out in which she demanded Jamie to call a press conference to and publicly resign from office, while threatening to expose the images of how he dumped the body of his biological father, whom she forced Jamie to execute. Jamie informs Beth about the uselessness of her evidence, revealing the long tradition of the Duttons dumping their enemies in a no-man's land called the "Train Station", immediately that exposing him would mean the end of the Dutton Dynasty, leaving Beth shocked and speechless. Jamie points out how their father's reckless and stubborn actions have done the ranch more harm than good and that the only way for it to thrive is to remove him from power. Realizing she had underestimated Jamie, Beth suggests to John that her brother might need to be taken to the Train Station himself. John is visibly uncomfortable about the idea and does not respond. Unbeknownst to Beth, Jamie has anticipated his sister's murderous intentions, and plans to counter by asking Sarah about hiring "professionals."
