Beth's final move
Season 5 | Episode 14
In the chilling final episode of Yellowstone, Beth pulled one last terrifying move that some fans could say was years in the making.
It was in the middle of a brutal showdown between Beth and Jamie.
Just as Jamie beat Beth to the ground, he revealed his plans to pin John Dutton and Sarah's murders on his sister.
But he's forgetting one thing. Beth is always one step ahead of him.
Beth's final move
"We sold the ranch," Beth looked Jamie in the eye.
"We sold it for $1.25 an acre, $1.1 million for the largest ranch in Montana," she laughed as she falls to the ground. "To the reservation!"
"You did what?" Jamie's world shattered.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" He asked one more time before he kicked her down once more.
In a chilling conclusion, Beth fatally stabbed Jamie in the heart after he nearly strangled her to death.
But not before her haunting last words to Jamie: "Look at me. That's right, I'm going to be the last thing you ever f--king see."
Beth's last vow
Season 5 | Episode 14
Jamie's jaw-dropping death comes after Beth promised one thing to her late father.
John Dutton's funeral service was heartbreaking for Beth to watch.
But pain turned to fury as Beth whispered a chilling message to her father's grave: "I will avenge you."
The showdown that followed between Beth and Jamie sent fans into a frenzy, with one calling it the "perfect ending".
Beth's last vow
"Glad Jamie got what he deserved in the end," said one viewer.
"BEST ENDING EVER. Beth my queen forever," one fan commented on Yellowstone's official Instagram page.
"OK I can say I was satisfied with the ending and that fight between Beth and Jamie truly shows the 30+ years of hatred and resentment that Beth had in her heart," a fourth added.
10. Beth goes 'hunting'
Season 1 | Episode 1
This is the first time we learn just how iconically savage Beth is.
Let's set the scene: 'Tennessee Whisky' is playing in the background, Beth's sipping a whisky on the rocks like an absolute boss and a man from out of town thinks he has her all figured out.
"You don't live here anymore, not dressed like that. You came back... I'm gonna say a school reunion, class of 2006," he says ever so smugly. "Am I close?"
And boy, was he wrong.
"Do you feel close, Ted? My turn..." Beth replies.
10. Beth goes 'hunting'
"You're in real estate or something equally as unimportant. Married, couple of kids, one on the way. That was your excuse to come out here," Beth begins.
"You need a break. Work-family life is so demanding. A little fresh air, a little me time.
"You came alone because none of your friends could afford it and those who do, they have wives and are a lot smarter than you and let's be honest, Ted, you didn't come here to fish, you're hunting.
"That's why you're sitting in bar instead of standing in a river," says Beth as she takes a sip.
"I'm hunting too, just not hunting you... You look like a real soft f--k, Ted," she glares.
"All you city boys do."
9. Beth outsmarts a bar manager
Season 1 | Episode 4
You know it's a good scene when Beth and a bar is involved.
The manager, Alfred, tries to call Beth out for the bar's no smoking policy. But this is Beth's world, he's just living in it.
"Really?" Beth replies. "Well, looks to me like the whole place is smoking, Alfred. Unless, the policy's just against me smoking...
9. Beth outsmarts a bar manager
"Which I find hard to believe because I've never been here before," says Beth as she takes a puff.
Alfred backs down: "What do you want?"
She replies: "To make a scene. You ready to watch that happen?"
That's Beth: 2. Men in bars: 0.
8. Beth 'ruins careers'
Season 1 | Episode 6
While Governor Lynelle Perry is happy to endorse Jamie's political career, she makes one thing very clear to Beth.
"I hear that you're a highly-functioning alcoholic," Lynelle stands tall. "When a child suffers a tragedy, they're emotionally frozen at the age they experienced loss...
"I look at you, and I see a 14-year-old girl who wants to bully the world.
"But you can't bully me, Beth. Bully's need to be big and I'm bigger than you. Got it?"
"Boy, do I," Beth snarls.
