The shocking death of Jamie Dutton in Yellowstone's Season 5B finale was kept under wraps from the production team through the use of cryptic code words in the scripts. Director Christina Voros revealed that the death scene was disguised as 'Beth and Jamie play Scrabble' to throw off those who had begun to catch on to previous code words used for major deaths.
Yellowstone 's Season 5B finale delivered one of the most shocking moments in the series’ history as Beth Dutton finally exacted her long-awaited revenge on her brother Jamie by getting knifey with him. While fans anticipated a dramatic confrontation between the two bitter siblings, the climactic moment still stunned audiences, most of whom probably didn't expect bear spray and unlimited gallons of milk to get involved.
“Weirdly, Jamie Dutton’s death became ‘Beth and Jamie play Scrabble.’ I think it had to do with putting pieces together; that might have been the origin of it. By that time in the season, some folks might have caught onto the ‘arrival’ code word , so we wanted to add a layer of confusion around it. … We didn’t want people to put it together, so that final fight sequence was, ‘Beth and Jamie play Scrabble.
Voros, who was on set for the climactic sequence, shared just how exhausting the day of filming was for both Reilly and Bentley, describing the scene as the culmination of years of hatred :
