After John (Kevin Costner) resigns from his position as Livestock Commissioner, Jamie (Wes Bentley) soon takes his place.
Unknowingly, the attorney and aspiring politician is set up for a host of life changes.
When told to send a “clear message” to two young boys after a barrel racer girl is attacked, Agent Steve Hendon, portrayed by James Jordan, goes too far, leaving Jamie to clean up his mess and concocts a story which will save everyone involved.
The Dutton Ranch is threatened

Meanwhile, Beth (Kelly Reilly) meets with the enigmatic rancher and stock broker Roarke Morris (Josh Holloway) and learns of his plans for the valley as he is making his move to take the Duttons’ land.
But another threat to the future of Yellowstone ranch is unveiled when Ellis Steele (John Emmet Tracy) tells Governor Perry – aka Wendy Moniz – of his plans to build an airport there.
To fight back and save the ranch, both the Governor and John move Jamie into the position of Interim Attorney General while Kayce (Luke Grimes) replaces him as Livestock Commissioner. But the latter needs a little convincing.
Fortunately, John finds an ally in Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham).
A big family secret is revealed

In episode 6, however, Karen Pittman’s Willa Hays, CEO of Market Equities, makes Jamie an offer for 50, 000 acres of the ranch. An offer which Jamie soon considers.
Speaking of Jamie, after his strained relationship with Beth is explained, he soon finds a family secret, kept from him since childhood : his real father’s identity.
A violent meet-up

While Market Equities is offering 500 million dollars for the ranch, John struggles despite Beth and Kayce’s best efforts to convince.
The Duttons meet up with the company, along with the Native Americans of the Broken Rock Reservation.
Determined to do anything to turn the land over to the state, Jamie refuses to support his family.
But in a matter of minutes, the meet-up turns violent and, possibly, deadly.
Beth’s assistant opens a box, causing a bomb to detonate , while gunmen storm Kayce’s office. While helping a mother and her son, John gets shot, leaving the fate of the Duttons open to speculation.
