We had an incredible episode of “Yellowstone” on the Paramount Network on Wednesday night.

WARNING: THERE ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

There are several points to unpack from the fourth episode of season two. In what I would say was the best episode in the new season with “Only Devils Left,” it was an adrenaline rush from start to finish.

Right from the jump, somebody dropped alfalfa or clover into a field, loaded up John Dutton’s cows from a plane, and the animals died from bloat. (RELATED: New ‘Yellowstone‘ Episode ‘The Reek Of Desperation’ Provides Tons Of Plot Development, Not Much Action)

In response, John has the sheriff deputize Kayce and his livestock authority guys. It’s clear John is out for blood, and who could blame him?

This was a direct attack against the ranch, and it worked to a shocking degree.

That was only the first thing that got things cranked up. The Beck brothers finally came face-to-face with John, and the highly-anticipated meeting didn’t disappoint.

A physical altercation started when Rip took out their two apparent bodyguards, but cooler heads prevailed for the conversation we’ve all been waiting for to finally take place.

The Beck bothers give John the offer of helping him destroy the casino plan from Dan Jenkins and Rainwater.

John declines the offer initially, but drops one hell of an awesome line when he says, “All the Angels are gone, son. There’s only Devils left.”

Something tells me the Beck brothers aren’t going to love being turned down, and that’s likely going to turn into a major storyline over the remaining episodes. It’s a shame too because I thought they made a compelling alliance.

Jamie is also back on the ranch, and he’s as heated as ever with Beth. It’s almost painful to watch those two together on screen, and I say that as a compliment. Their hatred for each other feels so real that it’s uncomfortable to watch.

As for Kayce and Monica, shortly before the end of the episode, the youngest Dutton son heads over to his wife’s apartment. Not surprisingly, the two end up having sex. It’s about time. Hopefully, these two are officially back together.

Finally, Kayce is back on the road and this is the major moment of the episode. He finds a rancher killing his own cattle and blaming wolves in some kind of a fraud scheme. During an attempted arrest, they repeatedly called for backup, which the sheriff denied.

The livestock agent with Kayce ends up shooting the man’s son when he draws down on them with a shotgun.

We’re now officially off to the races in “Yellowstone.” For once, somebody died in front of Kayce and it wasn’t his fault. It probably still won’t matter. He showed up to a ranch and a teenager got blown out of his shoes.

It’s also clear as day the sheriff and John are on a collision course.

It was a great episode, and I can’t wait to see what happens next week. We finally got a bit of action, and the paths people will take are becoming clearer.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
