Kelly Reilly’s Shocking Rejection of Yellowstone Spinoff Makes Sense After Taylor Sheridan Forced Her to Strip in the Worst Episode Ever.
Well, isn’t it funny how sometimes a cameo can be so cringe-worthy that it makes you wish your couch could swallow you whole? Taylor Sheridan’s cameos are nothing new in the unpredictable world of Yellowstone, but his latest appearance as Travis Wheatley in Season 5 Episode 13 might just set a new bar for discomfort.
Sheridan’s character Travis, the rough-around-the-edges, horse-selling cowboy, crashes back onto the scene, and while seasoned viewers anticipated his return, few expected this particular rendezvous. His character has become a head-scratcher for many fans.
Then there’s Beth Dutton. Oh, Beth. Fans have long adored her sharp wit and unyielding fierceness—traits that once made her a standout character. But this episode seems to have shaken her to the core, as she agrees to a game of strip poker with none other than Travis. Beth Dutton, strip poker…really?
After all her years of relentless strength and defiance, this feels less like an iconic moment and more like an identity crisis.
Taylor Sheridan’s Return as Travis: Fans React to the Strip Poker Drama in Yellowstone Episode 13
Taylor Sheridan has always been the mastermind behind the Yellowstone empire, not just as its creator but also as an actor. His portrayal of Travis Wheatley has been one of his signature cameos. But this time, it’s clear that his return in Episode 13 has left fans more frustrated than entertained. Travis’ storyline in Texas begins with him casually goofing off, surrounded by his buddies and supermodel girlfriend, played by Bella Hadid.
And then Beth Dutton arrives to check on Travis and immediately finds herself embroiled in his ludicrous antics. After a firm scolding, she watches Travis close a lucrative horse deal, only for the scene to descend into absurdity when he demands she play him in a strip poker game as a condition for agreeing to help the Duttons with their remaining assets.
If there’s one thing fans have consistently admired about Yellowstone, it’s Beth Dutton’s attitude. The woman has more fire than a forest blaze, and her character arc has been nothing short of a masterclass in development. So imagine the shock when she—Beth Dutton, who could tear down anyone with just a look—suddenly finds herself in a strip poker game with Travis.
