Spoilers for Dutton Ranch episode 6 ahead.

What do you mean that in the blink of an eye (aka, one episode) Dutton Ranch and 10 Petal ranch have effectively become one unit?

After foot and mouth disease wiped out Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip's (Cole Hauser) entire cattle herd, the pair both reached out to Beulah (Annette Bening) for jobs. Rip is now 10 Petal's foreman, pushing out Chet (Hart Denton), who has taken his firing with all the grace of a reversing dump truck.

Beth is now on hand as Beulah's brand manager, claiming she can turn 10 Petal into a "recession-proof household name" in the next three years.

On top of all of this, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) has somehow found his way home after a stay at an out-of-state rehab clinic. He's after revenge in order to return to his "rightful" place in the Jackson family.

In a nutshell, that makes this week's cowboy binge on Paramount+ even more chaotic. Dutton Ranch episode 6 is an eye-opening one, to say the least... and we've got a brand-new link to Yellowstone.

Rip oversees new cattle arrival at 10 Petal — and some friendly competition begins

Rip enlists the help of ranchers Azul (J.R. Villarreal) and Zachariah (Marc Menchaca) at 10 Petal when they're expecting a new herd of Angus cows to join the existing cattle.

Azul manages to separate the ones that look as though they might be ill, and for the most part, both Dutton Ranch and 10 Petal teams work together to ensure that the job is done seamlessly.

However, bickering, name-calling and superficial rivalries rear their heads just as quickly, with the 10 Petal boys proposing a one-handed roping competition between the two ranches. Azul and Zachariah win hands-down, claiming a shiny gold belt buckle as a trophy from the youngest 10 Petal rancher.

We also learn that Azul is expecting a baby, and meet his girlfriend for the first time in the opening scene.

Carter tells Oreana that he loves her... and she's not impressed

Carter (Finn Little) is still badly shaken up after Dwight's (Ray McKinnon) death in episode 5, but he's refusing to tell Beth and Rip — that would mean admitting that he's been skipping school to "work" in a drunk man's backyard.

Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind) asks Carter to go fishing with her, which Beulah also agrees to. The two discuss life while floating in the river, both claiming that neither want to be owned by families that are seemingly deciding their futures for them.

With his guard down, Carter tells Oreana that he thinks he's in love with her, to with Oreana replies, "I don't think either of us really know what love is."

Before Carter has time to wallow in his rejection, Oreana gets a text on her phone, explaining that they both "have somewhere else they need to be."

Everett spends the night at Beulah's

Earlier that morning, Everett (Ed Harris) is seen waking up at Beulah's house, with the two of them alluding to a "fun" night the night before.

Beulah asks him to stay again the following night, but Everett says that he thinks it's best to sleep in his own bed for the night.

He then brings up that Beulah is planning on hosting a party to celebrating 10 Petal ranch turning 190 years old. Beulah wants Everett there as her date, to which he says that he'd be "honored."

Rob-Will and Chet get revenge on Joaquin with fatal results

After Rob-Will's arrival in episode 5, Chet begins to visit him in a motel. Chat is stewing in his anger after being fired by Rip, telling Rob-Will that he's given his entire life to the Jacksons — and hidden all of their secrets — for nothing in return.

Rob-Will claims that a man can only get rejected if he lets himself be pushed over, and starts his plans to wage war on the family who kicked him out. This involves getting a bunch of guns from a dodgy-looking dealer, who Chet has to talk Rob-Will out of killing.

Later that night, Chet waits in the bushes outside the 10 Petal ranch and jumps Joaquin (Juan Pablo Raba), who is waiting for Rip. He launches into a speech about how badly Joaquin and 10 Petal have treated him, shooting Joaquin in the hand and bringing him to his knees.

As Joaquin begs for his life and Chet lines up another fatal shot, rancher Miguel (Berto Colón) fires a bullet into Chet's head, killing him instantly.

Rip finds out the truth about Wes' death

Just as Chet is killed, Rip arrives on the driveway. Joaquin explains that Chet had "issues" with his termination, but Rip doesn't ask any questions. Instead, he offers to take Joaquin to get his hand fixed away from prying eyes.

On the drive, Rip pulls over and asks Joaquin who put Wes' (Nakoa DeCoite) body on Dutton property. Joaquin confesses that Wes was a 10 Petal rancher who also acted as Rob-Will and Chet's dealer. He claims that "things went too far" and that Rob-Will is "a fool."

"I know a lot of fools, but none of them are killers," Rip replies. He reveals that Joaquin's private doctor is Everett, who bond over Beulah while sorting out the gunshot wound.

Beth and Beulah secure their first business deal — but Jamie's Yellowstone death changes the tone

But where have Beth and Beulah been in all of this? Out of town on business, with Beulah taking Beth on a private jet to meet a potential new client in Zane Nash, who's in charge of supplying food to the majority of hotels in Texas.

Beth explains that men like him, who have come from nothing to make something, make deals "in the detail," and that preparation is important. Zane initially dismisses the pair to be just like any other offer that comes through his office, but after being vulnerable about their separate histories and winning Zane over on a personal level, the deal is done.

In the bar that evening, Beulah and Beth muse on the similarities that their families have, which eventually leads to taking in "wayward sons."

"Joaquin, Carter... Jamie Dutton," Beulah says, which snaps Beth back into defensive mode. "I don't think about him anymore," Beth responds.

Beulah says that she can see why Beth doesn't, but then alludes to the fact that it is strange Jamie's disappearance was never accounted for. This essentially implies that Beulah know's more than she's letting on about Jamie's fatal Yellowstone death.

"I don't think about that either," Beth snaps back, as the two settle into an uncomfortable silence and the scene fades to black.
