Yellowstone season 5 finale character death speculations revealed

1) Beth Dutton
Following John Dutton's death, Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly, is the remaining semblance of a protagonist that the show now has. It is common knowledge that Beth is now out to get revenge for her father's death, and in the journey to redemption, she must take down quite a few formidable foes. Thereafter it would come as a shock Beth Dutton were to die in the finale.
2) Jamie Dutton
Jamie Dutton has somehow managed to become the most hated character on Yellowstone and is the show's primary villain as of this writing. His long-drawn conflict with Beth might come to a head and a showdown in the finale, resulting in his loss and death. It is clear that Beth is in no mood to forgive Jamie, especially after what he did to her back in their childhood.
3) Kayce Dutton
Among the Dutton siblings, Kayce has been the one who tried the most to not associate himself with the criminal proceedings in which his family often found itself. Instead, he chose to lead a quiet life with his wife Monica. Nevertheless, it would be naturally consequential for him to be embroiled in his family's disputes and pay a heavy price. Killing him would leave a lasting impression on the Yellowstone audience.
4) Thomas Rainwater
