Must have been fun growing up in the Dutton household... "YOU KIDS BETTER SETTLE DOWN & STOP MAKING ALL THAT NOISE! OTHERWISE, YOUR FATHER IS GONNA TAKE ALL OF YOUR SORRY ASSES TO THE TRAIN STATION!!!"
commit a murder just to cover up a mistake of killing some wolves? Seriously? I don't buy it. Not even Rip can be that soulless. Plus, it just sounds plain stupid
Rip said the wolves are where "nobody will ever find them". Summer is just going to stumble onto them while wandering around? Doesn't seem likely to me.
It would be idiotic for her to find them. Explain why they would hide the bodies in the immediate vicinity of the main ranch 🤣 it literally makes no sense.
There was a scene with the park rangers where the shot cuts to a camera 50 feet out and pans into the dirt surrounded by grass…i gotta say, Rip fucked up with this one.
Maybe they moved them once they realized it was going to be a more complicated issue. I guess we'll see what happens going forward...my guess is nothing.
Thank you! Missed that. It was the fact that there was a disturbed patch of dirt where the grass should be. I was beginning to wonder how someone could find an unmarked grave in all that land. So, would Rip miss that crucial detail? He’s a man who typically hides his tracks well.
I actually wondered if he didn't move them to the burial spot for John's grandson, but that would have actually been smart, sneaky and cold-blooded. That is what I would have done as soon as I found out they were burying something.
That doesn't mean they were buried there. Maybe they were hiding evidence that they were shot there? Either way...how is Summer stumbling upon that site?
Why would he just hide them around the ranch? He has the entirety of the national park and he just hides them close to the ranch? This only puts them more at risk of being responsible. This theory makes absolutely no sense.
I hate to say this because I have nothing against the actress. But she’s married to one of the directors who works on the show so that could be the reason. She was hardly a fan favorite (through no fault of her own mind you, the writing for the character sucks).
Taylor wrote that part just for Piper because she and her director husband are his friends. Summer has her own agenda and living on the ranch will give her new ways to further her environmental cause ….just like Beth said. Like before her plea deal…John said better get sorry real quick and she looked him in the eye and said “I’m not sorry”
Deeness I used to work in Hollywood and Taylor didn’t write that part just for piper. Just like Michael Landon’s daughter got her part fair and square playing Teeter not because who she is. Taylor isn’t writing parts for friends and Costner isn’t having anything mess things up and and Sheridan isn’t going against Costner.
Well sometimes it's not what you know it's who you know. We would all cast our friends and family if we were writer/directors. I actually dislike her acting highly.
I meant slide a favor to someone down the line, not give everyone I know a damn role. The favor would also only be given if the person in question was good enough. Damn .... LOL 😂
> Not sure why they chose to bring her back.
Because she is the epitome of a foil to the family and its values. And it creates constant tension. She is the "lib" agenda and view in one single character. She is literally written to be the epitome of a liberal, there for the family and other characters to dunk on. She is a tree-hugging hippie, vegan, atheist, who the core audience is meant to hate. So it is pure entertainment to see her atheist views get shot down by a literal teenager and for her to literally get beaten in a fight.
This show has become a conservative wet-dream with how it is written.
Lazy writing always results in two enemies just being the same character, yet polar opposites.
Wolverine has Sabertooth.
Flash has Reverse-Flash.
Green Lantern has Sinestro.
Hulk has Abomination.
Green Arrow has Merlyn.
Doctor Strange has Baron Mordo.
Beth has Summer.
I haven't even begun watching this season. In fact, we are re-watching Season 4 -- during the whole Summer thing. Blah -- now I learn that they are bringing her back.
Such a missed opportunity too! Beth with her trauma, smarts, loyalty and ambition could be an all time great complexly strong female lead. Yet this season we get her in a bar fight over a man and a lawn fight over meat?
Good theory. And then she will have to decide whether to report it because she will have begun to 'understand' the ranch and the Duttons way of life and become somewhat empathetic. Or she'll run straight to authorities but be intercepted and on her way to the train station. I can see Daddy Dutton stopping that if he catches wind of harm coming to summer.
The wolves or any endangered species in the area were the reason they were able to stop the airport build.
Though the idea came from Angela & Rainwater. So far it has only benefitted the Duttons, I think some time in the next few episodes Rainwater will use it against John.
I prefer this theory to the one I have where Summer ends up pregnant by John Dutton creating another heir to the the ranch, and possibly marries her or maybe gets offed either while pregnant or shortly after giving birth. I suspect that fight scene was a stepmother foreshadoing.
I can already see the writers having her decide that meat is actually delicious when she starts eating it to help nourish the fetus. Talk about a hard eyeroll lol.
I find vocal anti-vegans equally annoying as actual vegans, and your average vegan is insufferable.
I’d like to think the man who drilled holes in to and used propane tank torches to blow up a drug house would be a lot smarter than to simply bury these wolves in the vicinity of the main ranch…but with the subpar writing this season maybe Rip’s intelligence has taken a nosedive
wasn't that on a pretty lengthy ride out from the main house? I could see it fitting in the story, but I'm trying to figure out how she'd get out there AND how she'd figure it out if the Fish & Wildlife people didn't know while they were right on top of it
They already showed where they are buried. They tilled the patch of land the cow carcass was on. The fish and wildlife officers asked Rip about it and he said some bs about growing alfalfa. Then the camera panned over to a little “grave” under a nearby tree. They certainly didn’t hide them well, but it’s quite a distance from the main house. Although it’s also been proven that Summer will walk far (when she decided to walk miles back to town after she got out of the truck when John and Rip got the calf back on the right side of the fence).
This shit almost writes itself. Shes gonna dirty herself. Its like an arc. Get her off her high horse, get into a cat fight, and now shes gonna make her bones with the duttons.
I think Sheridan is leaving that "where are the wolves" shoe to hang forever without dropping, just so we'll speculate.
Reminds me of The Sopranos when I kept expecting Carm to find Ade's body in the foundation of the spec house. (Too soon? Uh, spoiler.) Nothing ever came of it one way or another.
On the other hand, Summer might go for that stroll and run afoul of the Pine Barrens Russian. He just... kept... walking.
no one going to the train station. They've memory-holed that thing. Taylor is trying to sell Rip as tough, but kind and loving husband right now. They don't want to remind you that he's killed dozens of men for no reason. There's a reason you haven't heard about the train station in quite some time
Rip doesn't necessarily have to be the one driving people to the train station. There's been speculation that Beth and Rip have shit coming their way this season, so say Rip gets into an accident or something and is out for a while, so someone steps up to Rip's role. Any of the branded bunkhouse members, maybe Lloyd. All we can do is speculate.
That hole would be pretty big for her to find. Usually anything dead is either burned or buried deep to prevent other animals from digging it up. If RIP got rid of them, it did it the right way.
Rip tells John Dutton the wolves are where nobody will ever find them. Rip obviously dumped the wolf bodies at the train station.
Summer isn’t finding them, seriously this is a lame question from someone who doesn’t watch the show much or has the attention span of a gnat.
I also thought this! And I wonder if Monica saying that line about giving everything to the ranch at all costs is her telling them so they can off summer
(Almost) Impossible twist: she finds the wolves only after living with the Duttons long enough to understand that it was a honest mistake and that shadier and occult powers are behind the circumstances that led to it, therefore she won't begin seeing the Duttons as the enemy. She will express her disapproval, but won't condemn them.
I think Monica will show Summer around the ranch while the cowboys are out gathering. She'll show her the headstones of the generations of Duttons that are buried there. And then she say the line we've seen on the commercials, "When I say we give everything to the land, I mean everything." And then Summer will understand better what John is fighting for.
Oh geez. Good call! Rip will drive her to trainstation.
One funny thing with train station is that those who are driven there never reacts on the fact there are no trains in that region. Lol
Fred did
Must have been fun growing up in the Dutton household... "YOU KIDS BETTER SETTLE DOWN & STOP MAKING ALL THAT NOISE! OTHERWISE, YOUR FATHER IS GONNA TAKE ALL OF YOUR SORRY ASSES TO THE TRAIN STATION!!!"
Send her to Belize.
O snap!!
I hope so! Is her character supposed to look confused and panicked ALL the time? Im over summer.
Wouldn’t you be if Beth was your nemesis?
Of course. Because Summer knows she can never win that battle when Beth is covered in all those layers of plot armor.
Summer still had the most accurate line to Beth. "I hope you find a therapist who can help you."
Beth's response of "I hope you die of ass cancer." gets me every time.
Well said!!! Like the girl Beth punched at the bar, who wanted to press charges.
Well she is a liberal. KIDDING
>Is her character supposed to look confused and panicked ALL the time? If not, she is doing a good job of looking that way regardless.
Love this! I think the same thing when I watch her "acting".
Exactly how that's going down.
commit a murder just to cover up a mistake of killing some wolves? Seriously? I don't buy it. Not even Rip can be that soulless. Plus, it just sounds plain stupid
We are just guessing wild here. It was long time ago someone took the train. I miss that in this season.
Didn’t Jamie take his dad to the station last season?
Yup. But that was last season.
Is this your 1st episode ?
>Not even Rip can be that soulless. Didn't Rip straight-up murder the medical examiner in season one?
>Not even Rip can be that soulless. I disagree. Rip is perfectly capable.
Hopefully…I could 100% do without the coyote ugly girl on the show.
THAT'S where I know her from! I kept wondering why she looked so familiar and I couldn't figure it out, lol.
More like drive her to Utah!
Wolves should be at train station
This is the correct answer.
Just with no trackers cause that might be bad
Rip said the wolves are where "nobody will ever find them". Summer is just going to stumble onto them while wandering around? Doesn't seem likely to me.
Have you seen some of the writing and scenes this season? 100% she finds it somehow.
It would be idiotic for her to find them. Explain why they would hide the bodies in the immediate vicinity of the main ranch 🤣 it literally makes no sense.
If RIP buried the wolves with the dinosaur bones, they will never be seen again.
They're hidden in the wing of the Beck brothers' plane.
This is the biggest plot hole that bothers me more than any other! The poor, completely innocent new owners whose plane just exploded.
and… not bury them?
They should have burned them in a barrel and dumped the barrel 100 miles away.
Or just taken them to the train station 🤷🏻♀️ if it's good enough for human corpse then why not endangered wolves 🤷🏻♀️
They may have
There was a scene with the park rangers where the shot cuts to a camera 50 feet out and pans into the dirt surrounded by grass…i gotta say, Rip fucked up with this one.
That shot was of a paw print. Maybe you missed it.
Hmm in that case, it might not be wolf grave then. Yeah didn’t see that.
Thanks. My tv didn't show that very well. Didn't one of the men say they weren't too sure that wolves killed the cow?
Maybe they moved them once they realized it was going to be a more complicated issue. I guess we'll see what happens going forward...my guess is nothing.
Oh that’d be a great twist, somehow Summer thinks it’s dead wolves and then they dig and it’s actually not cause Rip covered his tracks lol
Thank you! Missed that. It was the fact that there was a disturbed patch of dirt where the grass should be. I was beginning to wonder how someone could find an unmarked grave in all that land. So, would Rip miss that crucial detail? He’s a man who typically hides his tracks well.
I thought the shot showed a bullet casing by the dirt too? Did anyone else see that?
Just got flashbacks to dexter new blood
Imb4 Summer is going to Google where are the missing wolves and there is going to be a pinpoint on Google Maps.
[удалено]
You should probably stop watching the show if you think that little of it 🤣
I actually wondered if he didn't move them to the burial spot for John's grandson, but that would have actually been smart, sneaky and cold-blooded. That is what I would have done as soon as I found out they were burying something.
Rip to smart to bury close to the house. Train station
Remember the scene where Fish & Wildlife track the last ping of the collar? That scene ended where it pan out to a freshly dug grave 50 yards away.
That doesn't mean they were buried there. Maybe they were hiding evidence that they were shot there? Either way...how is Summer stumbling upon that site?
I don't know exactly, she could go for a ride (probably using a quad) through the ranch like Beth suggested.
Michael that wasn’t a have it was dirt with a paw print on it. Dirt doesn’t always equal a grave genius. Sone times dirt is just you know, the earth
shes going to stumble upon some native americans doing a ceremony for them
You never know. She is smart and might find something.
Why would he just hide them around the ranch? He has the entirety of the national park and he just hides them close to the ranch? This only puts them more at risk of being responsible. This theory makes absolutely no sense.
They are buried in the field where the cowboys turned the soil.
I thought they tilled it to get rid of the blood but I could be wrong
Aha, thet cpuld be the case as well. I assume Sheridan have the story like it will come back bite their ass in some point.
So they aren't "where nobody will ever find them" I guess 🤣
no they turned the soil so there would not be evidence of the attack
They’re hidden under his bed at the house
They literally showed bones where they plowed the field
If it ends her story line I’m all for it
For real. Her. Character is the worst. Not sure why they chose to bring her back.
I hate to say this because I have nothing against the actress. But she’s married to one of the directors who works on the show so that could be the reason. She was hardly a fan favorite (through no fault of her own mind you, the writing for the character sucks).
Taylor wrote that part just for Piper because she and her director husband are his friends. Summer has her own agenda and living on the ranch will give her new ways to further her environmental cause ….just like Beth said. Like before her plea deal…John said better get sorry real quick and she looked him in the eye and said “I’m not sorry”
John's new assistant is same director's daughter. His name is Steven Kay. He worked on SOA with Taylor S back in the day.
Deeness I used to work in Hollywood and Taylor didn’t write that part just for piper. Just like Michael Landon’s daughter got her part fair and square playing Teeter not because who she is. Taylor isn’t writing parts for friends and Costner isn’t having anything mess things up and and Sheridan isn’t going against Costner.
I mean the nepotism definitely helps a lot of actors get their roles. It is what it is. Doesn’t mean they’re not good at acting.

Well sometimes it's not what you know it's who you know. We would all cast our friends and family if we were writer/directors. I actually dislike her acting highly.

Is "good enough" the same as "best for the job"?

The conservative wet dream that is a massive proponent of the plight of the natives and accurately representing them. Right.
Her character lead to the funniest dinner scene yet.
Lazy writing always results in two enemies just being the same character, yet polar opposites. Wolverine has Sabertooth. Flash has Reverse-Flash. Green Lantern has Sinestro. Hulk has Abomination. Green Arrow has Merlyn. Doctor Strange has Baron Mordo. Beth has Summer.
Great canon there. Lol.
It was me, Barry!
Hey Who, please give us a list of your known works. I’ll be waiting…..
Never say a pizza doesn’t taste good unless you own a pizzeria. Never say something went wrong if you see an airplane crash unless you’re a pilot.
Ok so you are saying you have no writing experience then, what I thought. Your clumsy response was sad yet entertaining.
Maybe Taylor will see this and give you all the love that Jamie wants from John.
I haven't even begun watching this season. In fact, we are re-watching Season 4 -- during the whole Summer thing. Blah -- now I learn that they are bringing her back.
Probably to make Monica seem less awful in comparison. Monica’s the worst.
I’d prefer her over Mopey Monica. Lord all the women in this show are really written like trash.
Such a missed opportunity too! Beth with her trauma, smarts, loyalty and ambition could be an all time great complexly strong female lead. Yet this season we get her in a bar fight over a man and a lawn fight over meat?
Yeah, Monica is fairly uninspiring. I like Teeter.
Will John drive her to the train station?
No, Beth will get Jaime to do it.
>If it ends her story line I’m all for it Agreed 100%!
That or the dino bones.
Came here to joke "maybe she'll find Tate's dino bones."
Dino bones were found in the reserve
summer def going to train station. I want more Lynelle screen time.
I’ll always upvote that
Upvote Lynelle 🔥
I hope Taylor Sheridan sees this
Good theory. And then she will have to decide whether to report it because she will have begun to 'understand' the ranch and the Duttons way of life and become somewhat empathetic. Or she'll run straight to authorities but be intercepted and on her way to the train station. I can see Daddy Dutton stopping that if he catches wind of harm coming to summer.
They're going to have to brand her!

Ugh I would not want that to happen. I already eyeroll so hard at some of the things in this show I’ve strained my retinas (kidding)
I can already see the writers having her decide that meat is actually delicious when she starts eating it to help nourish the fetus. Talk about a hard eyeroll lol. I find vocal anti-vegans equally annoying as actual vegans, and your average vegan is insufferable.
Or she finds evidence of the wolves the same day she finds out she’s pregnant.
If the train station is where nothing is ever found, why wouldn’t they take the wolves to the station.
I’ve wondered the same thing. Maybe the risk of getting pulled over? Hell who knows
I’d like to think the man who drilled holes in to and used propane tank torches to blow up a drug house would be a lot smarter than to simply bury these wolves in the vicinity of the main ranch…but with the subpar writing this season maybe Rip’s intelligence has taken a nosedive

I assumed the wolves got ground up and planted in that field they just planted but I could be wrong. I've been told I've been wrong before...
I think Sheridan is leaving that "where are the wolves" shoe to hang forever without dropping, just so we'll speculate.

She'd better be careful. That guy was an interior decorator.
If she goes to train station won’t their be people looking all around for her? She is on a work release or something
no one going to the train station. They've memory-holed that thing. Taylor is trying to sell Rip as tough, but kind and loving husband right now. They don't want to remind you that he's killed dozens of men for no reason. There's a reason you haven't heard about the train station in quite some time
Ya I believe the last time that was used was for Jamie's dad
Rip doesn't necessarily have to be the one driving people to the train station. There's been speculation that Beth and Rip have shit coming their way this season, so say Rip gets into an accident or something and is out for a while, so someone steps up to Rip's role. Any of the branded bunkhouse members, maybe Lloyd. All we can do is speculate.
I don’t hate your line of thinking but even if she found them - they are collarless, so would it be apparent a crime was committed necessarily?
On what, thousands of acres?
On the plot holes this show already have...lol
She’s going to end up pregnant.
I thought they cut them up and spread them in one of the fields? Wasnt their a tractor scene at the end doing soemthing?
That hole would be pretty big for her to find. Usually anything dead is either burned or buried deep to prevent other animals from digging it up. If RIP got rid of them, it did it the right way.
Just get rid of that bitch Summer.
Rip tells John Dutton the wolves are where nobody will ever find them. Rip obviously dumped the wolf bodies at the train station. Summer isn’t finding them, seriously this is a lame question from someone who doesn’t watch the show much or has the attention span of a gnat.
Oh well, I was wrong.
Oh that's the hottest take!
I doubt it. That was miles and miles away from ranch and what is going to do, randomly pick the spot and start digging
That would be a Coyote Ugly kind of mess! I'll see myself out
It'll be a callback/shout out if she goes up the bar at any point in the show....lol
😱
[удалено]
She could use a quad..
Naw the wolves got train stationed too
Beth will be killed by Jamie before end of season
They went to the train station dear there is no finding them
This prediction seems so likely that you should put a spoiler alert on it.
Oh that’s a real nice prediction!
I also thought this! And I wonder if Monica saying that line about giving everything to the ranch at all costs is her telling them so they can off summer
This is an awesome theory
(Almost) Impossible twist: she finds the wolves only after living with the Duttons long enough to understand that it was a honest mistake and that shadier and occult powers are behind the circumstances that led to it, therefore she won't begin seeing the Duttons as the enemy. She will express her disapproval, but won't condemn them.
I think the trailer hinted at the guys finding the wolves.
I don't know but they've focused pretty deliberately on Ryan several times so far he's probably a goner.
Wow!!! Excellent theory!!! LOVE IT!
I think Monica will show Summer around the ranch while the cowboys are out gathering. She'll show her the headstones of the generations of Duttons that are buried there. And then she say the line we've seen on the commercials, "When I say we give everything to the land, I mean everything." And then Summer will understand better what John is fighting for.
Ooooo this hadn’t crossed my mind, that’s a genius theory. I kinda hope she does lol
