This was explained in Season 2 Episode 7. It wasn’t that long ago that Rip told Beth about the story of his father’s bones, and how he spent his money on getting a proper headstone for his mother. She was killed in a violent rampage by her ex-husband. He talks Rip off the ledge and that’s how their relationship began.Īccording to the Yellowstone wiki, Rip’s stepdad also killed Rip’s brother in the same rampage, along with his mom (whom by then he was divorced from.) (Note that the wiki says this was Rip’s dad, but the behind-the-scenes video by Paramount says it was his stepdad.) He ran off, trying to survive, and John Dutton was called in. In order to survive, he had to kill his stepdad by hitting him in the head with a frying pan. The Duttons control the largest contiguous ranch in… Īs a young boy, Rip walked in on his stepdad murdering his mother.

#Yellowstone #RipWheeler #ColeHauser #ParamountNetwork Subscribe for More! goo.gl/vnHLxY Yellowstone is a drama series that follows the Dutton family, led by patriarch John Dutton. It's so difficult to understand, in fact, that several viewers on one Reddit thread theorized that the scene only really existed, as u/MajorMJO put it, because "the show is setting up a situation for Rip to take Lloyd for granted, and then realize he was wrong." Considering the irrational line of reasoning behind the melodramatic subplot, it's a theory that's not, one hopes, without merit.In Depth Look: Cole Hauser on The Story of Rip Wheeler | Yellowstone Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) is John Dutton’s ruthless right hand – but what makes him tick? Actors Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, and more discuss. Viewers not only have enormous amounts of sympathy for Lloyd, (a sympathy the character has built up over three-and-a-half seasons) but, it's also difficult to understand the thinking that went into throwing two ranch hands and integral employees into a Gladiator-style fight to the finish, only to then punish one of those individuals for doing exactly what he was told. In the case of Rip's attack on Lloyd, both of these bubble-bursting elements are at play."I don't understand why rip is being so hard on (Lloyd) this season," wrote u/thenaturalwitch on the show's subreddit, while u/SmoothBlueberry7 said Rip was "being an a*****e," and said they were "starting not to like his character for how he is treating Lloyd." As an ex-con himself, Walker has little interest in incriminating himself, which is exactly what he'd be doing if he went to the police. Had Lloyd and Rip simply walked away from the bar and pretended they never saw Walker, they wouldn't be obliged to keep him under the thumb of the ranch at all, (much less at all costs), since he clearly wasn't interested in reporting anything he saw to the authorities. Walker shows up in Dillon - a location that is, at minimum, two-and-a-half hours away from the ranch, which supposedly borders the edge of Yellowstone National Park in Montana (via Google Maps). But Walker doesn't actually return to The Yellowstone Ranch on his own. Kayce, however, couldn't bring himself to kill Walker - whose only crime, to be clear, was being rational enough to get upset when Rip made him an accessory to murder against his will - a misstep Rip and Lloyd discover in Season 3, Episode 9. Walker unwittingly "stole" Lloyd's girlfriend (because that's how sentient female humans work), and the latter has been unable to keep his jealousy and anger at bay ever since.Īfter Lloyd breaks the "no fighting in the bunkhouse" rule in Episode 4, Rip and John ultimately decide the two should work their issues out by pounding the crap out of one another until "it's finished," and John tells Rip to "make an example out of the last man standing." If that all sounds exquisitely melodramatic and unnecessary, it's because it is, and the violence Rip demonstrated when he "had" to make an example out of Lloyd was difficult for many fans to swallow.Īs viewers will recall, Kayce ( Luke Grimes) was supposed to take Walker "to the train station" (aka kill him) in Season 2, after the singer saw Rip help Jamie cover up a murder. Smith's Lloyd Pierce, has butted heads with one of the other ranch hands, an unwilling captive of a cowboy named Walker (Ryan Bingham). Throughout Season 4, another beloved character, Forrie J.
And yet, there are bounds when it comes to what audiences are willing to accept with regard to the often criminal, inevitably violent actions Rip feels he must take in order to defend the Duttons and their ranch.
