Yellowstone season 5, episode 13, titled Give the World Away, inches closer to the series finale with high-stakes drama and unresolved conflicts. As the Duttons scramble to save their legacy, the penultimate episode sets the groundwork for an explosive conclusion. With only one episode left, the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch’s fate and the characters’ futures hang in the balance.
Kayce’s Plan to Save the Yellowstone
The penultimate episode focuses on Kayce’s determination to secure the ranch’s future. After confronting Grant in episode 12, Kayce shifts his attention to solving the ranch’s financial troubles. In a subtle conversation with Beth, he poses a hypothetical scenario about selling assets at undervalued prices to lower taxes. His question sparks confusion at first, but Beth gradually pieces together his plan.
Kayce hints at a potential buyer for the Yellowstone Ranch—someone willing to purchase it for a nominal price, reducing its taxable value significantly. Though he doesn’t reveal the buyer’s identity, speculation points to Chief Thomas Rainwater, aligning with his past interest in protecting the land. Kayce promises Beth he’ll confirm the details, ending the episode with him telling Monica, “We need to give the ranch away.” This plot twist teases a calculated move to preserve the family legacy while circumventing financial ruin.

Duttons Sell Everything in Desperation
With their tax burden looming, Beth spearheads an auction to raise funds. Traveling to Texas, she ensures that Travis secures premium prices for the Yellowstone’s prized show horses. Despite Travis’s notorious partying habits, his sharp negotiating skills prove invaluable.
Back in Montana, the Duttons auction off nearly everything, including horses, cattle, and other assets, while holding onto the land itself. The sale generates over $30 million, buying the family a year’s reprieve. However, this amount falls drastically short of what’s needed to sustain the ranch indefinitely. The auction underscores the dire state of the Duttons’ finances, making Kayce’s plan their only hope.

To make matters worse, news outlets begin exposing Jamie’s affair with Sarah and his vested interest in the Yellowstone development project.
Seeking counsel, Jamie turns to Christina, who offers a calculated strategy. She advises him to hold a press conference, distance himself from Sarah, and frame his involvement as part of an investigation into John and Sarah’s deaths. Jamie’s next move will play a critical role in the finale, as he faces mounting pressure from both the law and his family.

The emotional core of the episode lies in how the characters process grief and find strength amid chaos. Teeter grapples with Colby’s tragic death, leaving her inconsolable.

Meanwhile, Lloyd decides to stay at the ranch, despite most ranch hands planning to leave post-auction. Rip entrusts Lloyd with rebuilding the ranch, emphasizing his value as a veteran presence. Carter, too, remains with the Duttons, solidifying his role as part of the family.
Honoring John and Colby
The Duttons honor their fallen loved ones, John Dutton III and Colby Mayfield, ahead of the auction. During an emotional gathering, a lone horse is led through the crowd, symbolizing their absence.
