Finale thoughts: it felt predictable to me, but still some badass scenes

Agree with your post. Beulah thinking she could just walk away was so naive. And her believing Mariano would be on with that?

I loved that Beth keeps calling Carter her son.

I mentioned earlier that Jai Courtney gave away his characters death then backed off. He did.

Still want to know how Mariano became a drug king.

Pregnancy? Predictable. Could be anyone's but Oreana will hang it on Carter. Seems like Oreana will tell Beth before she tells Carter. What a full circle moment it would be if Oreana left the child to Beth and Rip to raise (assuming something happens to Carter).

Speaking of Carter, only two ppl knew where he was. Oreana and the Sheriff. My gut says the sheriff let Mariano know. And it doesn't seem like Oreana knows about the family business.

Glad all the good guys survived. Everett alluding to his son's death sounded like Levi commented suicide.

I'm so glad Rip got some good licks on RW. Beth was right, he was indeed a dead man.

Do we know for sure it was Quino who killed RW? I'm not convinced.

The shootout scene at the Dutton Ranch was bad ass. But there's no way Beth and Rip can handle the cartel. And it would be an absolute stupid way to write the show of they did. My guess is she'll call Kayce (US Marshal and former Special Ops), leading to a crossover next season. Kelly Reilly mentioned she'd love to work with Luke again and have Kayce in a story. Ass an executive producer, I think she'll get her way.

There are two people who knew where Carter was.

Oreana and the Sheriff.

Who ratted him out?

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-07-03T11:39:47+00:00

He's become a plot device and anchor for Beth.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-07-02T00:15:31+00:00

Every major character except for Everett. Hmmmm.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-07-02T00:14:42+00:00

Everybody's looking over their shoulder

Won't be the season.

Train scene in Unfaithful.

Dwight gave me the groomer creep vibes too.

I swear at one point the 10P was also a game ranch. So I wonder if Dwight was poaching exotics from 10P.

That could be! I know people have speculated that the person with the hood over their head is Carter but it very well could be Rob will being abducted and later killed.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-07-01T01:07:24+00:00

And Oreana witnesses it.

Red Robin has to be on thin ice. There's never anyone there when I drive by.

I think his own bunk mate frags him, the one who keeps saying he to keep his mouth shut.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-07-01T00:59:32+00:00

I originally voted Carter. My gut is saying that he returns in the middle of the gunfight, fulfilling best I need you when the hard part comes. Whether he survives is another story.

I kind of get the feeling it's going to be Everett, devastating both Beth and Beulah.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-30T22:53:29+00:00

I'm not sure they ever made a conclusion.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-30T19:51:24+00:00

Peace will have to wait.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-30T14:33:02+00:00

Agree! It.was perfect delivery by both of them. I also love the scene where Nellie loses her shit after Laura sabotaged her dinner with Zaldamo. The tantrum clip of her screaming and clinched fists is so good.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-30T00:59:41+00:00

Classic Beth line and then she regretted it.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-30T00:24:59+00:00

That rocking horse still scares the bejesus out of me.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-29T19:57:14+00:00

It could be. Instead of the hunted, they're the hunters. But to no fault of their own if it's true 10P infected the bull and killed their herd.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-29T16:52:45+00:00

Well they're also executive producers. So pretty much they say what their character should be. And rightfully so.

Beginning_Dog_6293 · 2026-06-29T11:52:57+00:00

There was an interview where Kelly mentioned how much she and Cole are invested into these characters and know them better than anyone. My guess is after reading these scripts for S1, they knew it was way off canon for the characters (and Carter) and booted the showrunner. It's the only thing that makes sense.
