What will Season 5 of 'Yellowstone' be about?

Season 5 is likely to follow the repurcusions of Jamie having to kill his birth father Garett Randall. This move that was forced by Beth may see his cut off all ties with John. The Season 4 finale also saw Beth get fired from Market Equities and charged with corporate espionage, so her character will be seen dealing with the aftermath. She also tied the knot with her love Rip Wheeler so the next season may explore their married life too. Meanwhile the continuous threat of developers and hungry land sharks will be an ongoing plot as well.
