So John branded his youngest child himself. Kayce had gotten some girl he barely knew pregnant and then refused to get her an abortion. He “disobeyed me one too many times,” John admitted. It’s not all of them, he explained, “just the ones that got a second chance.” It’s a “way to prove they’re to be trusted.” Was that why he’d branded Kayce? Er, no. Meanwhile, Monica asked John why his ranch hands got branded. Though John’s right-hand man saved the boss’ prodigal son from being mauled, that didn’t stop Kayce from cracking, “I ain’t used to seeing you off my dad’s leash.” Rip, in turn, opened a can of whupass and reminded Kayce, “My job is to protect this family, and you are the worst thing for it.” Then, leaving Kayce with the file on his late brother-in-law, Rip added that he was “tired of burying secrets.” The hour quickly took Kayce from a bad situation (a run-in with a bear) to a worse one (the aforementioned run-in with Rip). Judge for yourself whether John was out of line - or how out of line he was - below. If we were her, the only Father’s Day card we’d ever again send would be mailed in the hope that it would give him the rare, fatal paper cut. All you have to do is keep reading, and we’ll go over not only the matter of life and death that landed in Kayce’s lap but the unexpected perk of Jamie’s campaign for attorney general and the low blow that John lobbed at Beth. Mind you, Monica’s better half would soon have far more dire things on which to focus. And, of course, Kayce being Kayce, he wasn’t about to back down from a fight (even though punching Rip had to feel like hitting the broad side of a barn). The tough guys’ chance encounter on the ranch uncorked what appeared to be years of animosity, with John’s foreman being more than a little threatened by the attention that he paid his youngest child. Boy, if any two Yellowstone characters hate one another as much as Beth and Jamie, it’s gotta be Kayce and Rip - at least based on Sunday’s repeat of Season 1’s “The Remembering.”
