Joaquin betrays family and calls his father

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from the eighth episode of “Dutton Ranch,” “Whiskey Limits,” now streaming on Paramount+.

The ending of last week’s “Dutton Ranch” was crazy: Beulah (Annette Bening) suffered a heart attack or stroke, caused by an emotional Carter (Finn Little) drunkenly destroying her taxidermy at the 10 Petal gala. Will Beulah survive? Will Carter be punished? Will Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) use this opportunity as a power grab? Let’s find out this week!

Wow, they have to take Beulah away in a helicopter? Her health scare must have been bad!
Ouch, Carter fell off his horse drunk. I bet it’s not much fun to drive drunk!
Eww, Carter pukes on his horse! Poor horse!
I can’t believe Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) aren’t angrier at Carter! I would have been punished much worse for doing much less…
That said, this is some tough, tough talk from Beth… good parenting!
Rip brings Carter to the 10 Petal to work next morning? I’m not sure if he’s welcome…
Swooning over Everett (Ed Harris) waiting for Beulah at the hospital.
Oh, damn, Beulah lays down the law: “Robert William, you’re so damn weak. That’s why I’m leaving the ranch to you. It’s not your prize – it’s your protection.”
Rob-Will’s furious face when Beulah told him what the situation actually was was pretty amazing.
Ugh, Carter’s neon-colored puke.
Kudos to Rip and Azul (JR Villarreal) for giving the treacherously hungover Carter a fair amount of shit on the way to the ranch. You only bother those you love!
I know this isn’t necessarily the drama we’re hoping for, but I love these little moments of understanding between Beulah and Beth, in this case a connection through the fact that we’re boy moms. It adds the necessary dimension to both of their characters without coming across as too sappy.
Beulah, I know you love Rob-Will in your own way, and you’re changing the succession to keep Joaquin (Juan Pablo Raba) safe and the family intact, but he sucks. Can’t you just have him killed or something?
I love Everett’s cowboy poetry: “I’m ready to take that last ride with you, if you are.”
Austin (Sterlin English) is such a goner. Dude, just leave – or stay and shut up!
Carter, stop acting like a baby. (Side note: ouch, falling off that horse looked like it hurt too!)
I feel like Beulah and Everett have a wild sex life. Good for them!
Good for Beth for convincing Carter.
Wait, where is Carter going? And whose truck is that?
Joaquin, you’re playing with fire by taking Rob-Will’s gun to the police…
Is Joaquin really going to abandon his family? Sounds impulsive…
Carter wants to be a cop? Why?
Austin tells all 10 Petal secrets to Beth and Rip? Uh-oh!
Oh no, Beth and Rip don’t want to run a business with an illegal Mexican livestock farm that falsifies all the Border Patrol paperwork!
Uh oh, what darkness will Joaquin’s father bring to the ranch?
