Jamie's biological father, Garrett Randall, hates the Duttons primarily because John Dutton adopted Jamie after Garrett was imprisoned for murdering Jamie's mother, Phyllis, and Garrett felt John used and manipulated Jamie, preventing him from being with his own family and the land. Garrett saw an opportunity for revenge and reclaiming what he felt was his, using his connection to Terrell Riggins and orchestrating attacks on the Duttons, believing John stole his son and his legacy, wanting Jamie to ultimately take the ranch for himself.
``Jamie (Wes Bentley) is the adopted son of John and Evelyn but was later disinherited after several legal battles and double crosses. His adoption was kept hidden from him until he met his biological father, Garrett Randall. Randall allegedly killed Jamie's birth mother when Jamie was just a baby.
Garrett Randall murdered Jamie's bio mom. John Dutton told Jamie that his mother was abused by Randall, that he would beat her, force her to take drugs, pimp her out... Randall told Jamie that his mother was a junkie whore and he killed her protecting him.
Johns behavior to him prior to finding out about that was also insane, Jaime was largely faithful to the family for the whole series and John disowned him & began to consider him an enemy just because he did not want to drop out of a race he worked his whole life to be qualified for.
Beth blames Jamie because he went inthe clinic and made arrangements for her abortion . He was told that they're required to sterilize anyone getting an abortion at that clinic. He did not tell her that.
Beth became pregnant by Rip and, fearing for what would happen to Rip and her from her father, she kept this information from Rip. She sought help from her brother Jamie Dutton, who fearing being recognized as the Dutton daughter, took her to a Broken Rock parental clinic.
Beth's mom wanted to toughen her up. So she could succeed in a man's world. In season one episode seven, when Beth 'becomes a woman' her mother says “I have to turn you into the man most men will never be … You're gonna hate it, sweetheart.”
As a teen, Jamie helped cover up a teenage pregnancy by taking Bethany to a clinic on a Native American reservation that forcibly sterilized women by performing a hysterectomy without their consent, to avoid anyone seeing a Dutton in a clinic in a high populated place like Bozeman, knowing the kind of weight the Dutton ...
The staff told Jamie that when performing abortions, they were also required to sterilize the patient (forced sterilization is still legal in the U.S. today). Jamie agreed to this without telling Beth, and she didn't learn until later. She never told Rip because she knew he would kill Jamie for it.
The fifth and final season of Yellowstone is almost complete, yet the events of Season 4 still have some audience members scratching their heads. The fourth season ended with Jamie Dutton, the adopted son of the powerful Dutton family, killing his biological father, Garrett Randall.
After discovering his true parentage and casting the Dutton family aside, Jamie sets out to ruin the Dutton name and turn the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch into an airport. Not if Beth has anything to say about it. Beth finally kills Jamie in the finale.
1 Elsa Dutton
Elsa Dutton's death is doubtlessly the saddest in the Yellowstone franchise.
Jaime told her stuff that could potentially ruin the Dutton Family and when Jaime attempted to recant his statement, Sarah told him it was too late. Jamie abruptly assaulted and killed her in the process, forcing him to get help from Rip who made it look like a kayaking accident.
Garrett Randall was the birth father of Jamie Dutton and the primary antagonist for Season 4. He was convicted of killing his wife when Jamie was a young boy and lived by himself on his farm after being released from prison. He blamed drugs on his wife's death and the reason for her death.
John Dutton III
He's the eventual governor of Montana and a father of four: Lee, Beth, Kayce, and (the adopted) Jamie. His wife, Evelyn, died in a horseback-riding accident. He was the patriarch of the Dutton ranch until his tragic death in Yellowstone season 5.
Beth Dutton: BPD with ASPD traits
Her father ensured that any remnants of softness in her were burned away, leaving her with BPD-level emotional volatility but ASPD-level detachment when necessary.
In the final episode of Yellowstone, John Dutton's remaining two children, Beth and Kayce, sell the Yellowstone Ranch to their Broken Rock Indian Reservation neighbors for pennies on the dollar, if the tribe agrees never to sell or divide it.
Jamie did not inform Beth that she would be sterilized during her early abortion. This led to her not being able to embrace motherhood anymore.
What did Beth whisper to the casket? The Dutton family finally has a service for John, where Beth once again promises to avenge her dad. After laying a white rose on his casket, Beth leans down and whispers, "I will avenge you," then leaves the service.
Beth kills her brother Jamie after their daddy's funeral
She slams Jamie and covers his face with bear spray. It's a savage battle: Jamie regains the brawling advantage, loses it in typical villain style, and then regains it.
John's youngest son, Kayce is the Dutton with the strongest moral compass. Kayce is an incredibly conflicted man, as his sense of right and wrong puts him at odds with his father's ruthlessness in defending his ranch, though Kayce's intense loyalty sees him constantly compelled to protect his family and their legacy.
A flashback to 1997 shows Evelyn went riding with two of her children, Beth and Kayce. During a moment of Beth's hesitation, Evelyn fell from her horse. Her horse fell onto her and crushed her. Though she did not succumb immediately, Evelyn died within a few hours.
He accused Jamie of acting selfishly for wanting to advance his own career even as viewers saw evidence of the opposite. John, it often seemed, only wanted his kids to work for his gain, and he'd conveniently couch that desire as a request for them to work toward their inheritance.
While Beth appreciates being adopted and the comfortable life she has with Mrs. Wheatley, she often feels that she is more mature than her adopted mother. Most of what Beth knows about growing up, having sex, and drinking she learns on her own while Mrs. Wheatley is rarely involved in Beth's decisions.
