Episode 4 saw Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) contemplating his guilt over killing his brother-in-law, leading to his bereaved and broke widow to commit suicide and leave four children orphans. Kayce had no choice but to reluctantly send son Tate (Brecken Merill) to father John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) Yellowstone Ranch to shield him from having to see his cousins getting taken away. However, as he grapples with the pros and cons of letting Tate spend more time with his grandfather, law enforcement and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) have linked the charred remains of the two molesters that he killed to his gun.
