“Everything I’ve done,” he breathlessly explains to nobody in particular while gazing out at the ranch, “it was all for nothing.” This is because Beth has chosen now to tell John that, back in the day, Jamie helped her abort Rip’s child and failed to mention that doing so would leave her sterile, leaving John without a legacy beyond Tate, and his life’s work in jeopardy. As soon as Hayes starts quoting prices for the Duttons’ holdings, Jamie’s eyes glow green with dollar signs like a cartoon character, which on some level is exactly what he is.īut what we have here is set up for a Succession-style prodigal son takeover, since Jamie has been given the political power to protect the family’s interests but, by the end of this week’s episode, has been once again ousted by that family and has cause to turn that power against them. Hayes rightly points out that Jamie occupying the attorney general’s office represents a conflict of interest given the office presides over his family’s land, but in the same way that “All for Nothing” shows how Kayce’s compassion makes him very good at his job, it juxtaposes that idea with how Jamie’s greed and pathological insecurity make him terrible at his. This obviously positions the Chief and Monica in direct opposition to Roarke Morris, Market Equities, and Willa Hayes, its CEO, who visit Jamie in Yellowstone season 3, episode 6, and complain about Beth childishly short-selling their stock. Having spent much of this season staring wistfully at other characters doing things, Monica finally decides to make this her problem, planning to use her position at the university to help Chief Rainwater in his campaign to raise awareness and resources for Native lifestyles that don’t have to mimic white ones. The community turns out in force, and while they eventually find Sila dead, the point was very much proved. Kayce brings in every available livestock agent, unarmed, to help comb the area, and tasks Monica with drumming up a search party of locals. This prompts Chief Rainwater to turn to Kayce’s office, where there’s finally a figure - the latest “Commissioner Dutton” of several, which doesn’t go unremarked upon - empathetic to the Native plight. As the developing subplot of the brucellosis-free buffalo percolates but remains firmly off-boil for now, most of this week’s episode is devoted to an extended subplot in which Sila, the eldest daughter of a Native family on the reservation, goes missing.
