Always appreciate seeing the "father" side of a rough, tough cowboy. A real man spends time with his family, cares for his family. And that's John Dutton - the fighting man who melts when his little girl hurts.

Also, I'm glad to see Beth's positive changes as she deals with her past trauma. Rip is another real man - tough when he needs to be & so tender and loving with his woman.

Good to see the characters in the bunk house, too. A fun, hard-working bunch, each with their own vibrant personality. A great bunch of actors & each a master at his own role. I'm excited to see the stories continue in the next episodes!

NEVER take sides against the family. NEVER cheat.

I am very disappointed that this episode excuses cheating and family disloyalty. It doesn't matter what anyone else does - you do what is right. If someone doesn't think a woman can be a firefighter, you keep trying until you can pass the test, and until you can pass it truthfully. You being a cheater is just as bad as someone else being a idiot. And if that idiot is your father, you never ever disrespect him in public.

Whoever wrote this script should be ashamed. This is not firefighter spirit, nor is it moral or respectful. Worst episode yet.

I enjoyed the first season - shocking and mysterious. The families and the characters were well put together.

But the second and third became very confusing for me - it seemed to me that they had scenes they wanted to film, and then tried to connect them all somehow. I would often start another episode and think "Did I miss an episode in between?" The final episode was bittersweet. Although, it did seem to leave me with the aftertaste of "is that it?" I prefer movies/TV series that end with a positive and hopeful note. Here, I would have preferred that Nora & Kevin had a fulfilling life together.
