Here’s this moment that I guess they’ve both kind of dreamt of for a very long time, which is they have their own home. The way that I read it and I think the way that Kelly played it was that she just loves him so much.

Yellowstone has been building the pair’s chemistry for two seasons. Who better than Rip to bring about this emotionally triumphant moment? There is no one else who has the same impact on Beth as Rip, and the two seem to finally be settling into a definitive relationship in Season 3. How poignant is that? Beth felt her own heart. I think there’s just something so tender about it. I think it allows her to feel her own heart for a second and without getting too sentimental about it because that’s not her. And he just stares at her as she’s eating and there’s something about her being self-conscious.I don’t think I’ve seen Beth be self-conscious ever in any episode, you know? And she allows him to see that in her, and she allows him to feel that. She’s in her most sort of childlike, vulnerable sort of side that we’ve ever seen her, and there’s something, I think, that touches her when he just wants to love that and take that in. That this man has woken up early to make her breakfast.

The simplicity of his love that is so unwavering. I think there’s something about the kindness of the gesture. I don’t think she knows why in that moment. It’s such an ambiguous thing as most things are with big feelings.
