![]() Are there different rules for judging you?” But John wasn’t about to apologize for raising Jamie and keeping his awful birthright a secret. “You always preached the truth,” said Jamie. It was settled! As day gave way to night, Jamie found John in the living room. Well, “I don’t have any friends, but should I make one… ” And that was that. She wanted to symbolically get married in the mountains in front of family and friends. The one problem? They couldn’t legally tie the knot since, on paper, Rip didn’t exist. Needless to say, Rip accepted Beth’s proposal once he learned that John had given his OK. But seriously, “I don’t need presents,” he said, “just you.” Ah, but “that’s what it means. “I didn’t think you were a diamonds and gold kinda girl,” she joked. ![]() (By Roarke maybe? Was that job mainly to annoy John? If so, Wade was killing it!) When Rip got home from his day from hell, Beth made it a whole lot better by presenting him with a simple ring. (BTW, he wanted whatever that was back.) Also, Wade had been hired to do a job. Apparently, despite the fact that once upon a time John had given Wade a job and a home, the rapscallion had stolen the one thing a cowboy doesn’t steal. We still didn’t find out why they so dislike one another, but we did glean some valuable intel after John deflected the younger man’s attempt to defend his dad from a verbal assault with a physical one. ‘ANYTIME YOU WANNA RASSLE A BEAR INSTEAD OF A CUB, PICK THE BARN, I’LL MEET YOU BEHIND IT’ | Later, John was trying to enjoy a relaxing lunch at a diner when he wound up bumping into Wade and his henchman/son. She didn’t have to get dirty, “I stay dirty,” she said. “To win” against Market Equities, she added, “we’re gonna have to get dirty.” Well, duh: the sequel. “You have a tiger by the tail with” Willa, Angela warned. Elsewhere, Beth met with Angela for what, it seems, is her favorite kind of get-together: short and nebulous. What’s more, his biodad, Garrett Randall, had gone to prison for the second-degree murder of Jamie’s biomom! “Who the f–k are you?” Jamie asked himself afterwards. The clerk - and the paperwork she produced - revealed that he’d been adopted by the Duttons when he was just three months old. So, off Jamie went to another office in the building, only to have his life changed in an instant. ![]() Meanwhile, Jamie was distracted from his inquiry into John’s power of attorney - hmm - by his secretary informing him that the election committee needed a certified copy of his birth certificate, stat. You give him your hand if he gives you that.” Thus concludes the most uses of the word “hand” in a single paragraph in history. “Happy’s all I’ve ever wanted for you, sweetheart. In response, she asked if Rip could have her hand. So, he suggested, Beth was going to have to ask Rip herself. Rip would never ask him for her hand in marriage, and he’d never ask Beth if he hadn’t asked John first. ![]() “If he asks me.” “Yes.” If she was waiting for that to happen, it was never gonna, said her dad. ‘YOU DIDN’T TELL ME YOU WERE ADOPTED’ | At the main house, John asked Beth if she was going to marry Rip. This, he said, was just “my way of showing you why you shouldn’t.” Rip wasn’t telling Jimmy not to return to the rodeo, though. “When we get back to the ranch,” Rip grumbled to Jimmy, “I’m gonna kill you with my bare f–king hands.” Before that, however, he showed the would-be rodeo star a kid half his age and twice the rider - and pointed out that, despite how good the youngster was, he could still die. Mind you, what she mostly worked was Rip’s nerves, yammering on like the truck would explode if she stopped talking. The latter went so far as to insist on accompanying a still-recovering Jimmy and Rip to sell a horse that couldn’t be broken. Laramie’s “old enough to vote and buy bullets.” And she and Mia weren’t hangers-on, they were willing to work. And that was all just a subplot!īack at the ranch, Rip was ticked to discover that the bunk house was one woman away from devolving into girl talk and pillow fights. Once Kayce had the name of the rustler for whom this baddie worked, he, Ryan and Agent Hendon went to apprehend him and wound up in a shootout that left the villain dead, his little girl scarred for life and the supporting players injured and bloody. When the denim-clad detective subsequently laid eyeballs on a suspicious character at the sale barn in Billings, said suspicious character tried to drive away, only to have Kayce give chase on horseback (!) and lasso him around the neck (!!). ‘COOL S–T AINT CHEAP AND CHEAP S–T AIN’T COOL’ | As “The Beating” began, a bunch of cows and calves were stolen from the Duttons, which immediately turned Kayce into a Stetson-wearing Hardy Boy.
