Before the messy “5B” era even hit, this scene marked the beginning of a downhill spiral forYellowstone. Turns out, not every cliffhanger is worth the hype. Sometimes, it’s just the first stumble before a creative nosedive.
Beth’s office explosion: The momentYellowstonefans started questioning Taylor Sheridan’s moves
Blowing up Beth Dutton’s office to endYellowstoneSeason 3? Not exactly the stuff of legends. The explosion was pure chaos, setting up a massive cliffhanger, but the big payoff was of a dud.
Beth survived. Of course, she did. Yes, there were burns and scars, but the fact that every single Dutton made it out alive — yeah, fans weren’t buying it. EvenKelly Reillythought her time was up and straight-up asked if this was her exit. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

Turns out,Taylor Sheridanjust wanted everyone to think the Dutton clan was toast. She alluded (viaElle):

But, no, everyone was very honest from the get-go, saying, ‘No, no, no. Taylor just wanted everyone to think that they all died. He wanted that cliffhanger moment.
