‘Yellowstone’ Season 3 Episode 6: Who was the missing girl Sila, what really happened to her?
What if your child went missing and you didn't have a clue where she was? Paramount Network's ‘Yellowstone’ begins with that shocking sequence in its sixth episode 'All for Nothing'. As the show starts, a mother is ready with breakfast for her kids. "Breakfast is ready, let's go..." she calls out. "Where's your sister?" she asks her daughter. When she has no clue, she goes to check her room for Sila and finds that she isn't there.
She makes a few phone calls to find out where Sila really went. It's 4.30 pm. "Sila didn't spend the night there, did she?" she asks one friend and to another, she says, "Sila isn't over there, is she?" They call out for the missing girl but she is nowhere to be found. Soon, a search team is deployed.
Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) gets to know about it and how they don't have enough manpower to carry out the search. "Have you checked with all her friends?" Rainwater asks the officer, and is told, "At this point, I don't know what the chances are." He seeks Kayce Dutton's (Luke Grimes) help to get more people on board. "We always have a missing person but we do not have the resources to look for them," he tells Kayce.
Soon, many more people come to help and at the ranch, they spot the wolf. While following the wolf, Rainwater comes across a ditch where the girl is lying. It is then that the injustice for Native American people is highlighted and one question probes through the mind: Was she raped or did she fall into the ditch and died?
This is not the first time the series highlighted Native American problems. Remember the episode when Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille) was branded a thief? That too, just because she was window shopping at a store. This week's episode, however, is way more hard-hitting and it makes Monica think how society perceives them and fails to give ample protection, especially to women.
After the incident, Monica is visibly shaken. “There’s monsters everywhere in this world,” Kayce tells her. “Ya just gotta kill ’em when ya find ’em.” When he tried to tell her it was not her fault, she said, “I’m not making it my fault, I’m making it my problem.” He then said, “Ya can’t stop the world from being bad,” But she replies back, “Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.”
At the end of the episode, when Chief Rainwater told her about a council to address violence against women on reservations, Monica said, “I can lead that fight.” Will Monica help bring a change? Catch the new ‘Yellowstone’ episode as it airs on Paramount Network this Sunday, June 26 at 9 pm ET.
