'Yellowstone' Season 3 Episode 8: Monica uses herself as bait and shocked fans call her 'fierce'

At first, this had many fans worrying for the worst

Spoilers for 'Yellowstone' Season 3 Episode 8 titled 'I Killed a Man Today' 

The latest episode of 'Yellowstone' began with a shock, to say the least. Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille) left home after lying to her husband Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) about her plans for the day. She is dressed like a snacc, to be honest (despite fans' continuous dislike for the character, it is undisputed that Monica is a beautiful woman), and when Kayce asks her where she is going, she lies to him. 

Then soon enough, it is revealed. Monica is waiting for help on an empty road after her car breaks down. It isn't until a man shows up generously offering to drop her to the nearest station that it clicks - this might be the abuser on the loose. At first, this had many fans fearing the worst. "I guess no one ever taught monica about stranger danger #YellowstoneTV," tweeted one. 

Many fans even started predicting how her husband Kayce will react if something does happen to Monica. "OMG  If something happens to Monica. Casey is going to go ape sh*t crazy," tweeted a fan. Kayce's temper is well-known and the ex-Navy Seal has no qualms in spilling blood when it comes to his family. Remember what he did to the Becks when they kidnapped his son Tate (Brecken Merrill)?

Soon enough, the nervousness started to take over fans. Women everywhere know all too well just what it feels like when you get in a car with a potential offender. And so, picture several fans shouting at the TV. "#Monica get out of the truck before its too late! I'm getting nervous for her."

However, it was then revealed that Monica was actually playing bait to nab the man who was raping and killing Native American women. It was Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) who shot him right in the head after the man began to overpower her. And it is safe to say that fans were both shocked and impressed. "Monica is fierce! #YellowstoneTV," tweeted one. 

Praise started coming in for Monica. "Wow. Monica is a badass," one tweeted.

"Damn girl, Monica and her balls!!! I was definitely worried there!! But, she made a difference!! " tweeted another fan. 

And now, many are calling it her best appearance on the show. "Best scene with Monica in this series." We all know far too well how rare these words are to come by. 

'Yellowstone' airs Sundays at 9 pm ET/PT on Paramount Network.
