Desperate, as Jamie so often is, he took the problem — and the body — to Rip and begged him “as a friend” to help. However reluctantly, the ranch’s former foreman not only leapt into action, instructing Jamie on how to make Sarah’s death look like a canoeing accident, Rip figured out a way to use the incident to his advantage — by framing Walker for the crime.

Having had it up to his scruff with Rip and the Yellowstone and all of its bulls—t, Walker then accepted his nemesis’ offer of a ride to the train station. Luckily for the ex-con, Kayce intervened and allowed Walker to leave with a pulse, provided that he forgot everything that he had seen and done at the ranch.

Though it looked like Jamie wasn’t headed for prison, he was certainly going to be spending some time in the doghouse. John, upon hearing of Sarah’s “drowning” on the news, scoffed at Jamie’s insistence that he hadn’t had a choice. There’s always a choice, John barked. For instance, he suggested, Jamie could’ve jumped into that lake himself!

‘KILLING’S THE ONE THING YOU CAN’T UNDO’ | Elsewhere in “Blood the Boy,” Jimmy was riding high after making some bank to pay back the meth-heads by bronc-riding when he discovered that — aww — Avery had up and left the ranch. The Becks tried to strong-arm Rainwater into a partnership. Donnie explained to John that gambling debts had put him at the Becks’ mercy. And Monica came thisclose to hooking up with her physical therapist before hitting the brakes.
