John Dutton has a joyless and extremely painful physical and emotional existence. It is evident that his kids do not want to continue his patriarchal vision. So really there is no point to pushing on, yet he does ( writers do better at giving us a Why!)... Beth wants him to find "love" again....or sex anyway, cool.... So now there is a new character (think beautiful, blonde LA antifa) that hops into Johns Dodge Ram, (what) to follow? (love all of the commercial sponsors Paramount!!! NOT!) Rip treating Lloyd like crap is getting on my last nerve!!!
