“Yellowstone” was wild Sunday night with the season four finale.

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

Coming into the season four finale, we all knew that things were going to get wild. After all, every “Yellowstone” finale gets crazy. (REVIEW: ‘Yellowstone‘ Is Outstanding With ‘No Such Thing As Fair’)

What an absolutely insane ending to season four. I knew as soon as Beth was in Jamie’s office that he was going to end up killing his father. That, to me, was her clear plan.

He took away her ability to have kids and she took away his father. Not only did he murder his father, but she schemed it up to photograph him dumping the body at the train station.

I’m absolutely speechless right now, and that’s putting it lightly. Of all the insane endings we could have had, Jamie shooting his biological father and then blackmailing Jamie is a twist none of us saw coming.

As for Kayce and Monica, I’ll be honest with you all when I say I’m not really sure I understand a lot of this season with them. Yes, they got a house together and she got pregnant again, but it always seemed like something was.

Well, I guess I now understand. Whatever Kayce saw must have been really bad for him to tell Monica he saw the end of them. What a brutal turn of events.

It was also outstanding to see Rip and Beth finally tie the knot. It wasn’t the most traditional wedding, but hey, nothing in “Yellowstone” is normal.

It was another classic example of a story playing out over the course of four seasons, and being tied up perfectly. A massive success for Taylor Sheridan and the entire “Yellowstone” universe.

As for Jimmy, his time at the ranch has come to an end after four outstanding seasons. Now, he’s headed to Texas for his spinoff show with his future wife!

I know there were a few people who didn’t love Jimmy being in Texas this season, but I actually enjoyed it. Of all the downtrodden characters in “Yellowstone,” has been arguably the worst.

For once in his sad and disappointing life, he’s finally earned a few wins. It’s great to see.

Also, I’m not a lawyer, but can judges just throw out plea deals and hand down prison sentences that lengthy?

I did love John tearing into that judge. Even though we know John will do anything to protect his ranch, he still looks out for people who can’t look out for themselves.

That’s great to see.

Overall, it wasn’t the greatest season of “Yellowstone,” but I still loved it. Most importantly, there’s still more to this story left, and I can’t wait to experience it.

P.S.: Cowboys don’t say goodbye. They say see you later. I can’t wait for the start of season five!

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.
