Don't get me wrong I think she's an idiot for grappling with the law in her determination to change the world.īut despite what the judge said during her sentencing, voting in people that would do a better job is a hell of a lot harder than he makes it sound. Speaking of women and Beth, Summer got a raw deal, too. Although Beth is a beloved character, females in the Sheridan universe could use more consideration. I guess that's to be expected on a male-dominated show. Now that I think of it, Mia's storyline caring for Jimmy was demeaning, and Emily's eagerness to entertain the new dolt on the four sixes didn't sit well, either. And keep our 2022 TV premiere schedule bookmarked to see when all the new and returning shows will debut in the new year, without worry that Beth will hold them at bay with a knife.Leaping up to sock Jimmy in the face wasn't the wisest decision Mia ever made, but Emily jumping to his defense so there could be a catfight felt icky, and it was incredibly demeaning to women. ET, so be sure to keep watching the back half of Season 4 to see how things shake out between Summer and Beth. Yellowstone airs Sunday nights on Paramount Network at 8:00 p.m. But still, the best way for her to stay off of Beth's shit list is by staying off of Beth's radar completely, slowly and carefully. Summer doesn't seem to (at least at this point) have anyantagonistic reasons to go after Beth, beyond petty jealousy-based issues surrounding John. So I think you'd have to go like very slow and very careful. So I kind of know how challenging it is to go up against Beth. I was a fan of Yellowstone before I got the part. And I was fortunate to have seen all three seasons of Yellowstone before. Yeah, I mean, Beth is a very difficult adversary. When I asked Piper Perabo about acting opposite such a powerful force as Kelly Reilly’s Beth, she offered a bit of strategical guidance, saying: So by all means, Summer could come out of this relatively unscathed, assuming she plays her cards very methodically, and presuming she hides in John’s bathroom and doesn’t come out until Beth is totally weakened. And that’s not even considering what could happen with Jamie, who has a Beth-shaped albatross swinging around his neck like a tetherball as he comes to terms with his biological father trying to kill the only family he really knows, including the only member who still truly accepts him. Now that those plans came to fruition, I can’t imagine she’ll have many more reasons to cozy up with Caroline, and I also cannot foresee the Market Equities head honcho forgivingly allowing Beth to bounce without putting John’s land at risk in some way. But I can definitely see Beth’s liquored-up fires not being quite as strong and impactful when they’re split up between multiple targets.Įven though Jacki Weaver’s Caroline Warner is currently Beth’s ally, that partnership was specifically founded so that the vengeful Dutton could shitcan Bob Schwartz. I can’t imagine Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan is going to eventually pit Summer and Beth in a duel with only knives and plastic milk jugs as weapons, as fun as that would be. So Beth is kind of dealing with things on multiple fronts, and it's going to make it more difficult. But what I like about what Taylor wrote in this season, also, is that Jacki Weaver and Summer Higgins both these two powerful women sort of come to town at the same time. And I don't think Beth is going to let anyone try to weasel in on that space. You know, Beth and John have this awesome relationship, and they're both kind of heroes and villains, and they understand each other so well. I mean, Summer is certainly like the unexpected fox in the henhouse. While she agreed, the actress also talked about Beth being a hindrance in that respect, as well as Summer having an unwitting advantage due to her quasi-rival’s current professional situation. When CinemaBlend spoke with Piper Perabo about Summer causing some havoc within Yellowstone’s central family dynamic, I asked if her character’s relationship with John was a lasting one. Not to mention serving as Chekov-esque foreshadowing to the actual stabbing that happened later in the bunkhouse that set up Lloyd and Walker’s exhausting brawl. And as it was shown in Episode 406, Summer and Beth’s first confrontation was every bit as animalistic and near-bloody as expecting. So when Yellowstone introduced a flirtatious connection between Piper Perabo’s protestor Summer and Kevin Costner’s protestor-adverse John Dutton, fans just knew it was going to draw the volcanic ire of John’s most protective offspring. It’s a commonly known storytelling/theatre principle that a gun shown in the first act is very likely going to come up again later in a big way.
