Dutton Ranch Recap: Here’s the Beef

Annette Bening handles a lot of suggestive dialogue with skill. This installment features a short but compelling exchange between Beulah and Sheriff Wade, where she subtly reminds him of her campaign contributions and redirects his attention from her missing worker to her troubled granddaughter, Oleana. There’s also a fraught hospital visit where Beulah silences a ranch hand who wants to return to old methods, hinting that the group’s recent shift in behavior hasn’t been long in the making. Finally, we hear a threatening phone call where a man warns Beulah about a large cattle movement and demands everything goes smoothly.
