Sad news: Singer and actor Ryan Bingham of the Yellowstone series has passed away at the age of 45

When Yellowstone ended, fans just knew the love story between Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler wouldn’t stop there. And they were right! Taylor Sheridan quickly revealed there would be a spinoff with both Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising the roles that made them so well known. All fans had to do was wait… and wait… and wait…

Well, the wait is finally over! Dutton Ranch is set to premiere on May 15 with not one but two episodes, available to stream for Paramount+ subscribers and also available on Paramount Network at 8 p.m. And if the (quite literally) explosive trailer reveals anything, it’s that both are back in action like no time has passed.

The drama! The fights! The whiskey! Remember how amazing their relationship was in the original series? Well, if you don’t, take a stroll down memory lane with this recap of the most memorable Beth and Rip moments from Yellowstone in chronological order as you get prepared to be blown away by the drama of the new series.

1) Season 1, Episode 2: Beth and Rip’s First Date

Beth and Rip are seen together romantically in the first episode. Well, it’s more physical than anything, but clearly, there is something between them. In the second episode, Rip awkwardly asks Beth on a date for the first time (as adults, that is). Their idea of a good time? Watching wolves snack on a dead elk while drinking Southern Comfort, while they talk about mortality. How romantic!

2) Season 2, Episode 5: Flashback to Beth and Rip’s First Kiss

Oh, their pasts go wayback! In this flashback scene, you see teenage Beth and Rip kiss for the first time. Well, at first they hate each other because Beth is rude and calls an orphaned Rip “daddy’s new pet,” which makes him mad. But they have chemistry that’s hard to deny, even back then.

3) Season 2, Episode 7: Beth and Rip’s First ‘I Love You’

Saying “I love you” for the first time is hard! Beth feels that it’s coming after a tender moment. But she stops Rip from doing so, saying “Tell me when it saves me.” And boy, does he get that timing right later in the episode when he saves her from would-be assassins and speaks those three words to calm her down.

4) Season 3, Episode 7: Beth and Rip Get Engaged

Earlier in the season, Beth hints that she wants to be called Rip’s “wife,” though she fears she won’t be enough because she can’t have children. In this episode, her father John advises her that if Rip won’t propose to her, she should propose to him. And that’s exactly what she does, as Rip lovingly accepts.

5) Season 4, Episode 2: Beth + Rip + Carter = Family

While recovering in the hospital, Beth meets a troubled teen named Carter who reminds her a lot of Rip when he was young. And though Rip is initially reluctant to take him in, they become his guardian and de facto family, eating a cozy small dinner of Hamburger Helper.

6) Season 4, Episode 10: Beth and Rip Get Married

While they had initially discussed finding the perfect spot just for the two of them, Beth decided an impromptu ceremony at Yellowstone Ranch was a better idea. And it was so spur of the moment that Beth kidnapped a priest to make it happen. Decked out in a gold dress and fur coat, Beth did it her way, as always.

7) Season 5, Episode 10: Beth and Rip Head to Texas

Rip leaves Montana for the very first time, traveling to Texas for work. Beth can’t stay away, of course, and comes to visit him for a romantic getaway in cattle country. As the Yellowstone Ranch back in Montana is threatened, you can see the wheels turning in their heads, wondering if their forever is somewhere else.

8) Season 5, Episode 14: Beth and Rip Start a New Life

After the death of her father and the sale of Yellowstone Ranch, Beth buys a smaller ranch to start a new life with Rip and Carter. Will life stay as serene and happy as the series finale depicts? Knowing Beth, probably not. And that’s what the spinoff is for!
