Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 6 Review: Cigarettes, Whiskey, a ... (Den of Geek)

As mentioned, Sheridan has been constantly reminding the audience how this way of life is dying, and to show a character who embodied that life peacefully pass in the night is a silent and strangely perfect reminder of that message. Yet the major concern for this season remains as constant as that central message – this season has really gone nowhere in half a dozen episodes. This was a death that fans have been theorizing about ever since last week’s teaser for this episode, and while it didn’t have the major impact a main cast member’s death would have, it reinforced the predominant theme of the season. She admits to Summer (Piper Perabo) that the family could easily hate her for taking Kayce away from the family and the ranch – but they don’t because they know how much love she has for Kayce. This was a scene that could have been used dozens of episodes ago to defend yet another misunderstood character, but the sincerity in Asbille’s humility could make anyone fall in love with Monica at this point, despite what you may have thought of her before. Sheridan’s script and Stephen Kay’s direction of this episode plays out in a series of Montana gift shop postcards, squeezing every drop out of the yellow-watercolor-sunset used in every other sequence. Birmingham’s patience and stoicism is always a pleasure to watch as well, so it will be interesting to see where Rainwater ends up in the latter half of this season, but so far, the conflict between he and Angela is quite monotonous, and that mainly lands on her shoulders. Sheridan has written moments of political intrigue (light on the intrigue) this season, and Kilcher’s threatening and breathy whisper of a delivery on every line she reads doesn’t help make this subplot feel more serious or worthwhile, it merely reminds the audience how much it’s being forced. This reviewer can honestly attest without even a hint of irony, that this storyline has, by leaps and bounds, left every other thread in the dust this season. It’s surface level, it seems – she merely wants him out of the position because she feels it’s time for a change, and that he hasn’t held up his promises to the community, but the way she goes about it seems unnaturally melodramatic. It gives Mo, a fan-favorite, the opportunity to stretch his legs a little, as both the character and an actor. Don’t be fooled either, the death rattle is already being heard, it’s simply that Sheridan wants to put a megaphone in front of it so it quakes anyone within earshot.

'Yellowstone' Season 5 Episode 6: Craziest Moments and Burning ... (Variety)

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from Season 5, Episode 6, of “Yellowstone,” “Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and Fog,” which premiered Sunday, Dec.

It’s fun that Angela Blue Thunder (Q’orianka Kilcher) is pulling some presidential strings to tip the scales. - Who are these psychotic Secret Service police officers shooting dogs on the Reservation? On with the recap: - Unrelated to the plot: It’s wild that Costner is 67 and still such a hunk. This week’s show is a relatively quiet, meditative take on the cowboy lifestyle. - For what this episode is lacking in plot it’s more than making up for in beautiful shots of the American West.

Yellowstone Recap: Little Wisps of Time (Vulture)

Emmett dies under the stars in his sleep and the Duttons show their strengths at the funeral. A recap and review of 'Yellowstone' season five, episode six, ...

Spending time on the ranch has allowed Summer to understand this culture better, but there’s a part of her that just can’t move past the convictions she’s had her entire life. The complicated rivalry between John and Chief Rainwater, which looked likely to take center stage again when John made plans to visit the reservation a couple episodes back, is still going completely ignored. It’s nice to see Beth reconnect with nature after spending most of her recent years in various high rises, and the same goes for John (though he barely seems to spend any time actually governing). It’s the same side of him we saw when he comforted Monica at the funeral for her baby boy. Much of the episode is devoted to the gathering, which provides Kayce an opportunity to spend some time with his son and provides Rip an opportunity to get laid under the setting sun. After last week’s particularly eye roll-worthy episode, “Cigarettes, Whiskey, A Meadow and You” is refreshing, lingering in the natural beauty that makes this a place worth protecting.

'Yellowstone' Season 5 Episode 6: 5 Things You May Have Missed ... (Decider)

There's no way Sarah Atwood *actually* has feelings for Jamie Dutton.

[in Season 4, Episode 6](https://decider.com/2021/12/05/yellowstone-season-4-episode-6-recap/): “I found it a year ago when you said you wanted to be married in a place with no memories… After John coordinates the removal of Emmett’s body, he quickly rides to inform Emmett’s widow, Ella (Anne Cullimore Decker), and the two share a touching moment. [who appeared in 7 episodes over the course of 5 seasons](https://western-series.fandom.com/wiki/Emmett_Walsh). Before the rushed ceremony, Rip told Beth, “I thought you wanted to find a place that was just ours,” and she replied, “I do and we will take that ride I promise.” In Season 5, Episode 5, it appears that Rip did his own scouting for his and Beth’s perfect piece of Paradise Valley. [Yellowstone](https://decider.com/show/yellowstone/) Season 5, Episode 6 entitled “Cigarettes, Whiskey, A Meadow And You,” the Duttons and their cowboys have plenty of reasons to remember why they are fighting so hard to retain the Yellowstone and their land in Paradise Valley. Thomas argues that his approval is required for gatherings on the reservation, but Angela points to a loophole in the tribal charter: “This isn’t assembling—this is greeting the President of the United States.” Angela admits the visit was last minute, but justifies her action: “it’s important that the people know we aren’t invisible.” As the President’s Director of Native American affairs, Angela also has secured his endorsement for Martin Kills Many (Christian Wassana) for Chairman of Broken Rock. They won’t make it.” After he collapses inside, the camera cuts to a long shot and we can only hear Margaret screaming. Left with a busted face and no direction, she wanders around the Yellowstone until she finds the Dutton family graveyard where we see two familiar names: James Dutton (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill). You orchestrated the lease and the build leaving no legal recourse for the company that’s completely fucked.” Susceptible to flattery, Jamie listens as Sarah explains her plan: “Get you elected Governor, reinstate our lease and push through our project with a contract you cannot weasel out of and save this state from its policy of hiding its head in the sand and hoping that the rest of the world just walks by.” Jamie has no problem with bringing about the downfall of his estranged adopted father and his precious ranch—but can he trust her? If that date is correct, we may have seen the events leading up to James’ death Back in the city, Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) turn his home into a love shack and plot their next move against the Governor as Sarah reveals her real mission. After an almost perfect day of herding their cattle, Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) slip away to their own little slice of heaven for a romantic rendezvous.

Death on the Trail: 'Yellowstone' Season 5, Episode 6 Recap (Newsweek)

John Dutton had to deal with the death of his longtime friend in "Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and You," the latest episode of "Yellowstone."

The newscasters mention his refusal to see the president, but offer him their support regardless. Earlier in the episode, we see Jamie and Sarah wake up in bed together. It turns out to be the long sleep for him as he doesn't wake up in the morning. "Help me win governor, and I'll give you your airport," he later tells her in the throes of passion. He refuses, even going as far as to call him an "idiot." Ryan and Abby, played by the returning Lainey Wilson, get closer and seem to cement their relationship. John and Clara stayed behind to call in a helicopter to get Emmett's body. The festivities get into full swing and love appears to be in the air for many. Mo eventually realises all of this is happening because the president of the United States is turning up for a visit. Back at the house, Summer (Piper Perabo) attempts to get to know John and the ranch more. Agreeing to disagree, they make love in the meadow at sunset. As we've come to expect from Yellowstone, Episode 6 was filled with sweeping shots and extended sequences that showed off the state's beauty, though not everyone was impressed.

And if that wasn't enough: Jamie entered yet another villain arc.

[Episode Five](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a42122364/yellowstone-season-5-episode-5-recap/) introduced a raging wildfire in the distance), next week also brings the premiere of [1923](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a39100037/yellowstone-prequel-1932-season-one/), which stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. We'll be back to shootin', tootin', and rootin' for the Dutton family to protect their ranch as we head into the holidays—especially since the prequel series' [trailer](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a39100037/yellowstone-prequel-1932-season-one/) promises an action-heavy drama. Fans of Yellowstone may recall his previous appearance in the [Season Three finale](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a33667997/yellowstone-season-3-finale-recap-ending-whos-dead-explainer/). Walsh was the Chairman of the Stockgrowers Association, and he was in Kayce's office when the Beck Brothers attempted to assassinate the Dutton family. Atwood takes offense to him insinuating that she's being paid to have sex with him—but in the last episode, she all but confirmed to Jamie that she wasn't being genuine in their relationship. She changes to the conversation to the governorship. Ominously, the shadow of death comes in the night for the cattle crew. It’s clear that people in positions of power in the U.S. Without getting into whatever ideological battle the brawl settled, this week’s episode sets [Yellowstone Season Five](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a37065242/yellowstone-season-5/) back on track. If Beth was all about declaring “this is my fucking house” in [Episode Five](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a42122364/yellowstone-season-5-episode-5-recap/), her arc this episode is about remembering that there’s far greater threats to the Duttons than her daddy’s little girlfriend. [the ranch](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a41967495/where-is-yellowstone-filmed/), the Duttons do some real cowboying, rounding up all the cattle. the dogs are just people’s pets on the reservation.

Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 6 Review, Thoughts, and Theories (ComingSoon.net)

John (Kevin Costner) and Co. wrangled some cattle, Emmett Walsh (Buck Taylor) fell asleep and never woke up, Monica and Summer enjoyed each other's company, Rip ...

At this point, the best way to deal with Jamie is to take him to the train station. The man wants to be a cowboy but must leap over every roadblock imaginable to enjoy a sunset. John and Clara stay behind until the deed is done and then double-time it to catch up with the rest of the crew. As it turns out, the President of the United States plans to visit the reservation, and they need to keep him safe. He wants retribution, and she wants to give it to him. He reaches Yellowstone and immediately breaks the news to the older woman, and the pair embrace. After seeing the scene of John consoling Emmett’s wife, a news anchor comments that she stands with John — “He’s exactly where he needs to be.” That part made me laugh. When told that the President’s impact on the land could prove beneficial, he shrugs off the comment and notes that Obama once visited Standing Rock and then tried to run a pipeline through it. - John’s assistant Clara ditches the satellite phone and appears to be having a good time on the trip. Kayce and Tate debate whether to charge a herd straight on; Beth and Rip spout their version of romance; John and Emmett share some downtime under the stars. One cleanses the forest, and one protects it and feeds its rivers in the spring, and feeds the valley. - This is the type of stuff I like.

It’s just, it’s so embarrassing”—comments that Sheridan later downplayed in [an interview earlier this year with The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/12/yellowstone-tv-series-taylor-sheridan/671897/?preview=FP2kEQRpX9KAxKeJeRzxm9oM-zk), chalking the quote up to general anger and long press junkets for the movie.

While we don’t get much insight into the actual sitting President, we do get a quote from John Dutton. The show aired in 2018, a year after Trump took office, although events of the show have transpired over at least five years, making the present moment likely during President Biden’s administration. The President comes to town via Broken Rock Reservation and an apparent call—and political move to displace Thomas Rainwater—from Angela.

But it’s nice to see him with a no-nonsense woman of class. Unbeknownst to John, the news crew got all of the scene. The three things that make her feel good, and a perfect meadow. Lynelle and Summer finally see each other in the same vicinity. She wants to get him elected as Governor and in return, she wants him to reinstate the lease without an option to wiggle out of this time. But as tough as Beth can be even with the daddy issues everyone knows she has, Monica surprisingly defends her to Summer. Kayce and Beth look on like the proud parents they are and grin at each other. If anyone knows what it feels like to be the unwanted outcast of the Dutton family, it’s Monica. You’ll have to be the judge. The saga of Jamie and Sarah is far from over. She is keeping Jamie warm in his bed and becomes offended when he starts to question her presence there. John, Rip, and Beth are overlooking the beauty of Montana.

Well, they ended up needing the satellite phone in Clara's saddlebag, after all. After an idyllic day out on the range in Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 6...

“She’s just as cowboy as he was.” Abby and her band play a few tunes, and Walker the singing cowboy performs a song that conjures the spirit of John Prine. Even the older man’s death became part of the gather’s lore, part of how much they all needed the event as a reminder of why they live and work where they do. Out here, she’s free to explore, free to be immersed in the work, free to ride alongside her husband and not have to constantly be plotting to destroy an opponent. The President of the United States is in Montana – Angela Blue Thunder has become his Director of Native American Affairs, and even set up an event with the Prez right under the nose of her adversary Thomas Rainwater, forcing the chief to shake the hand of Martin Kills Many (Christian Wassana), Blue Thunder’s personally groomed candidate – and while John says he has “nothing to say to that idiot,” the branding and his comforting of Emmett’s widow allows him to play up his roots as a salt-of-the-earth Montanan doing important work for the state and its constituents. Jamie, his profound uptightness still forcing him to analyze why Sarah would even be in his bed, at first can’t visualize how his ambition can be supercharged with the addition of Sarah’s tactics. With a different Dutton in charge, the Market Equities airport deal would be back on, and Montana would presumably move toward a different kind of progress.

Yellowstone season 5, episode 6 recap - what are Sarah and Jamie planning? Contains spoilers for "Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and You".

Anyway, the bulk of “Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and You” is all about lounging in the wilderness, sleeping on the ground, and having a lot of very meaningful conversations filled with old inherited folk wisdom. It was also kind of moving to see John absolutely racing back to the ranch to tell Emmett’s wife, Ella, what happened to him before she saw that he wasn’t with the herd. Sarah tells him straight-up that she wants to make him governor so he can restart all the planned developments, and by the end of the episode, as far as I can tell, they’re basically living together. A better word would perhaps be “contemplative”, even if sometimes the contemplations are a bit overwritten, as with Beth staring out at a vast sunrise and declaring that she only finds things beautiful that she doesn’t have to share with anyone else. “Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and You” takes that sentiment even further. [Episode 5](https://readysteadycut.com/2022/12/05/yellowstone-season-5-episode-5-recap/) that Yellowstone had managed, in its own unique and specific way, to move me with its sheer enthusiasm for the Montana wilderness and the cowboy lifestyle.
