Ep 7. A Monster Is Among Us

In the seventh episode of Yellowstone's first season, titled "A Monster Is Among Us," tensions in and around the Dutton family reach a boiling point as they face a new threat to their land and way of life.

The episode begins with a young boy named Carter being found brutally attacked and left for dead on the edge of Yellowstone National Park. The Duttons are quick to suspect their new neighbors, the Beck brothers, who recently purchased the land adjacent to theirs and have been making moves to expand their own ranch. Amidst the chaos and tension, they must also deal with other issues, including a rival ranch hand who becomes a liability and an unexpected connection between Beth Dutton and one of the Beck brothers.

As the investigation into Carter's attack continues, secrets begin to unravel and alliances are tested. The Duttons are forced to confront which of their own may have been responsible for the crime, and the possibility of a traitor in their midst only adds to the mounting pressure. Meanwhile, tensions between the Duttons and the Becks continue to escalate, leading to a explosive confrontation that threatens to have lasting consequences for both families.

"A Monster Is Among Us" is a thrilling and tense episode that encapsulates the high stakes and complex relationships that have come to define Yellowstone.

With great performances from the entire cast, including Kevin Costner as John Dutton and Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton, "A Monster Is Among Us" keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and sets the stage for even more explosive confrontations to come.
