Beth and Rip rename the ranch in honor of her father John Dutton.<\/p>\n As the couple settle into Rio Paloma, Beth meets Beulah Jackson, who owns the rival 10-Petal Ranch, and Everett McKinney, a weathered veteran and veterinarian. Beth and Beulah\u2019s meeting is not a pleasant one, and she turns to Everett for help on where to process their herd.<\/p>\n Over on the Dutton Ranch, Rip is working with two ranch hands \u2014 Azul, a loyal compadre, and Zachariah, an introspective cowboy that just got out of prison. The trio spend a few episodes working the herd until they have to terminate the lot after an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Carter gives high school a go and finds it less than stellar.<\/p>\n He decides to ditch school and finds work with a checked-out rancher, who spends more time slinging back beers than anything else. Dwight, the rancher, finds an untimely death in episode 5 after he\u2019s killed by Rio Paloma police.<\/p>\n This greatly impacts Carter, who finds solace in Beulah\u2019s granddaughter Oreana. The young couple meet after Carter gets into a fight with Oreana\u2019s boyfriend.<\/p>\n In episode 5, Rip and Beth both decide to work for Beulah and the 10-Petal. Rip takes over as foreman, and Beth works on the business side of things much to the chagrin of Beulah\u2019s son Joaquin.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac In case you missed it: <\/p>\n Rip brings Azul and Zachariah over the 10-Petal, and they all work together with the ranch\u2019s hands to work cattle. Beth is last scene taking a trip to Chicago with Beulah to talk beef with a restaurant executive.<\/p>\n Oh, and Rip finds a body on the Dutton Ranch in episode 1. The deceased used to work at the 10-Petal, and was killed by Beulah\u2019s son (and former foreman) Rob-Will, who is sent to rehab but returns with a vengeance in the last couple of episodes.<\/p>\n Heading into episode 7, out Friday, June 19, things are sure to heat up on (and off) the ranch.<\/p>\n Paramount+ is the best place to catch up on \u201cDutton Ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n The show also airs on the Paramount Network, but that\u2019s mainly for new episodes.
