Yellowstone season 5 part 2 was released on December 15, 2024, leaving fans with lingering questions about the fate of several key characters. Walker's troubled past and changing relationship with the Dutton family have kept viewers on edge.

In this second season, some characters stayed at the Yellowstone Ranch and others went to the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. Walker is a cowboy and aspiring country singer with a troubled past, having served time as a convicted felon before being hired by Rip Wheeler. His parole and restrictions raise questions about his Four Sixes Ranch presence.

The Montana Yellowstone Ranch owners, the Duttons, live complicated lives in the show. While serving as governor, patriarch John Dutton faces family and external threats.

Yellowstone's intricate character arcs, including Walker's in season 5 part 2, have intrigued viewers. A dramatic season is further heightened by his uncertain fate as a Four Sixes Ranch crew member.


Walker’s role in Yellowstone season 5 part 2

Walker doesn't appear for long in Yellowstone season 5 part 2. At the start of Part 2, Walker's trip to the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas is revealed. This leaves fans confused, especially since he is not allowed to leave Montana legally when on parole.

The character has always been mysterious because he was on parole after being convicted of a crime and couldn't leave Montana.

Walker was first shown as a cowboy with a rough past earlier in the series. Before coming to Yellowstone, he worked on the 6666 Ranch in Texas. He became a recurring character known for having a troubled past.

Walker couldn't leave Montana without permission from his parole officer because he was a convicted felon on parole. It's not clear if he got that approval or if someone, like John Dutton, had his sentence shortened when he became governor of Montana. This change in his status is one of the main things people don't know about him.

Walker's future isn't clear, but his time in Texas could be very important. Leaving the chaos of the Yellowstone Ranch to join Rip and other people at the Four Sixes Ranch could be the start of a new chapter for him.


Walker's future at the end of Yellowstone season 5 part 2

Walker's storyline in Yellowstone season 5 part 2 seems to be winding down, with certain speculations about his fate. A heroic sacrifice is hinted at as the show climaxes.

Viewers believe that Walker may save Rip from a dangerous situation, which could kill him. Such a sacrifice would solidify Walker's character arc, making him a hero to fans who have seen him go from troubled felon to loyal ally.

Also, rumors say that Texas ranch hands face fire and rattlesnakes, which could kill Walker. Walker's heroic death wouldn't be out of character given the show's intense, brutal moments. He sacrificed to complete his arc and enhance Yellowstone season 5 part 2's emotional impact.

Walker's weaknesses and strengths have evolved as the show progresses. Although initially tense, Walker and Rip now respect each other. Speculations suggest that Walker may die for Rip, sealing his transformation from a reckless outlaw to a hero. This might mark a satisfying end to his character's journey, especially if Rip is in danger late in the season.


Yellowstone is available to stream on Peacock.
