History WMG / Yellowstone

[[WMG: Yellowstone is set in the same universe as ''Oz'', ''The Sopranos'', ''The Shield'', ''Breaking Bad'', ''Sons Of Anarchy'', ''Better Call Saul'', ''Mayans MC'' and even ''Transformers Prime''.]]
All of these shows each share the same style and distinct settings so it wouldn't be all that surprising Yellowstone is set in a shared universe with all these other shows.

JOSSED: As of Season 4, there has been little or no State investigation and no Federal involvement. The bodies of the assailants at the ranch were disposed of. It is also revealed that Jamie was the one who swept things under the rug and avoided contacting his family for months to avoid the appearance of collusion.

JOSSED. He dies at the end of the Season 4 premiere, but it was for hiring Wade Morrow and the antics Wade and his son caused. It's also established in the premiere that someone else hired them and that person is still out there. In the following episode, the local rep claims that Market Equities didn't have anything to do with the attack.

CONFIRMED: It was Jamie's biological father Garret who apparently had his own grudge against John Dutton.

Their involvement is confirmed in season 4 and Kayce thinks revenge is the reason why and immediately discounts Jamie as the one who hired them. However, in a separate scene, someone else hired them based on the large wad of cash found on the alleged "party planner" and his fear of naming him.

While their involvement is confirmed in season 4 and John and Kayce think that's one of their motivations, someone else hired them based on the large wad of cash found on the alleged "party planner" and his fear of naming him.

When Roarke couldn't contact Wade, he got frustrated. After meeting John Dutton in person, he decided that filing suit in court wasn't going to work. That, along with getting what is essentially tacit authorization from his boss, leads him to find ''anybody'' who was willing to kill John, his daughter and son.

Possibly CONFIRMED: As of Season 4, John and Kayce think this is what happened (Roarke just gave them a reason and money) and plan to kill the remaining members and seek the warrants--to give them a legal reason to go after them--through Jamie to see if he was involved or not.

Possibly CONFIRMED: As of the end of the Season 4 Premiere, Rip kills Roarke with a rattlesnake. Whether he was actually the one who hired them or not remains to be seen. Market Equity's new CEO at least recognizes how dangerous such actions are and takes a non-violent approach.

So, if the Dutton's criminal acts are exposed, Market Equity gets their land. If one or more of them die in the attack, that weakens them and makes it easier for Market Equity to get their land.

[[WMG: Roarke contracted the hits on the Duttons on his own after his plan to use the Murrows failed]]
Roarke was acting on his own accord because of the pressure his boss was putting on him. The plan to use Wade and Clint Morrow to give him legal ammunition would've worked out if they weren't so impulsive (or if John hadn't already figured it out).

It's possible that the Montana Free Militia attacked the Duttons in revenge for raiding their compound and killing their members at the end of season 2.
