Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes) and his wife Monica’s (Kelsey Asbille) story took another harrowing turn at the beginning of Yellowstone season five when their unborn baby John was tragically killed following a car accident. Ever since, the Paramount series has delved into the pair’s struggles with grief and while they’ve managed just about to keep their family unit together, the promo for episode six has hinted at yet another deadly exit to rip through the Duttons.

The trailer for the next episode of Yellowstone opens with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) taking a trip into the Montana wilderness.

“I could live here and never see another person in my whole life except you,” Beth tells her beau as she contemplates life away from the ranch.

The trailer rolls on to show Summer, still sporting the cuts and bruises from her fight with Beth, speaking to Monica as they stroll through the Duttons’ graveyard.

“Your family’s been here that long?” Summer asks before the trailer cuts to Monica saying: “When I say we give everything to this land, I do mean everything:”

Soon, the promo descends into chaos as an air ambulance is shown flying onto the ranch, John (Kevin Costner) in deep conversation with Kayce, and a shell-shocked John and Beth making a jaw-dropping discovery.

Beth removes her hat at whatever she’s just seen while another split-second shot shows John hugging and consoling a young man who looks a lot like Tate (Brecken Merrill).

Rip’s voice can be heard asking over the top of the footage: “What happened?” before the trailer comes to a haunting close.

With it clear the trailer is pointing towards a deadly incident, many fans have picked up on the fact John appears to be comforting Tate.

Fellow Redditor u/AmericanWanderlust agreed: “What if it's Kayce? The only reason I say this is because there is some scene where John is looking all forlorn hugging someone in brown -- the hair makes it look like Tate, the jacket makes it look like Kayce.”

Meanwhile, u/La_Croix_Life argued: “It's definitely plausible that Kacey could die. I'm still personally hung up on his vision quest and him seeing ‘the end of us’ and seeing that wolf everywhere. 

“And now a bunch of wolves are dead. Even though Kacey didn't kill them, karma's coming for the Duttons from those wolves, imho.”

While u/Halsee_ weighed in: ”From this analysis, I also think it’s plausible that Monica might be the one to die. She may be planning to kill herself, which is why she discusses talking to god and doesn’t answer Kayce about another child.” (sic)
