With that, Kayce tells Beth he has to confront Jamie.

“You leave him to me,” she says, but her pleas fall on deaf ears.

Barging into his brother’s office, Kayce explosively throws Jamie across his desk.

“I do not benefit from a f**king airport,” he explains.

“The ranch benefits, which is to say, you benefit.

Your son benefits.”

While Mo goes off with Kayce, Rainwater stays behind for a conference with Beth.

She relays her father’s deep respect for the man, noting that she always knew when hedidn’trespect someone.

Only after this does the conversation move to the future of the ranch.

“I’m a realist, there’s no way this place stays whole,” Rainwater explains.

“But how much of it can remain like it is?

The way it was when my grandparents walked it.”

ButBeth believes there is no saving the ranch, or even preserving it.

She deems her father and ancestors foolish dreamers who fought so hard to only “prolong its collapse.”

She explains how Bozeman has doubled its size since the 90s, andMontana will likely grow more by 2040.

Even still, Rainwater offers whatever support he can.

But where did Kayce and Mo run off to?

Even still, he struggles to know when or how to make a decision like that.

“You’re not supposed to know yet,” Mo tells him softly.

It’ll feel like fate.”

Though she tries to contact Grant, every number he used before has been disconnected.

Upon smashing her burner phone, she’s scared by Jamie, who arrives, now furious with her.

What the f**k have you done to me?

After slapping him back, she leaves.

Driving away, Jamie calls Sarah and apologizes.

“You have to trust me, Jamie,” she says, “and start believing in yourself.

You have nothing to fear, nothing.”

But Sarah is gravely mistaken.

The moment she tells Jamie this, a couple pulls up next to her asking for directions.
