Spoilers for Dutton Ranch episode 6 ahead.
Dutton Ranch episode 6 hasn’t just left us reeling after one death, but two.
The main bump-off this time around was Chet (Hart Denton), who died after trying to kill Joaquin (Juan Pablo Raba) in a fit of revenge-fueled rage.
Rocking up to 10 Petal with nothing but a gun and an angry ego courtesy of Rob-Will (Jai Courtney), Chet shot Joaquin in the hand before being killed by rancher Miguel (Berto Colón).
However, Chet wasn’t the only dead guy rattling around in the Yellowstone spinoff last week. We were still dealing with the fallout from Dwight’s (Ray McKinnon) death during the episode 5 police raid, with Carter (Finn Little) refusing to tell Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) how traumatized he feels.
In fact, Carter is keeping the fact that he ever worked for Dwight at all to himself, given that it would prove he’s skipping school on a regular basis.
From Dutton Ranch episode 6 onwards, Dwight’s death won’t just continue to impact Carter, but another unsuspecting survivor you might have forgotten about.
Now that Dwight is dead, what will happen to his leopard?
The showpiece of Dwight’s chaotic-looking yard is the enclosed leopard he keeps at the center of it. In fact, the leopard is our number one witness when Dwight is chased across the grass by a team of armed police officers, with one of them eventually shooting him in the head.
Earlier on in episode 5, Carter brings Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind) to get a close-up look, but episode 6 completely neglects that fact that it’s presumably still locked up in a cage and not being fed.
“So the bodies are piling up! Naturally, my question is, what’s going to happen to the leopard? I hope it won’t be left there to starve!” one fan posted on Reddit.
logically, one of two things will happen next. The first option is the least dramatic: that the leopard was turned over to the police during the raid, and will quietly be re-homed off-screen.
“I doubt the leopard will be brought up again. Most likely the police called someone to pick it up and it’s already gone,” another fan agrees.
The second option is a lot more exciting. Now that Dwight and Carter’s stories are intertwined — it’s clear that Dwight’s words of wisdom will leave a lasting effect on Carter — it’s completely possible that the leopard could join the family on Dutton Ranch.
With all of the cattle now gone thanks to the foot and mouth disease outbreak, there’s plenty of room for a more exotic animal. Beth and Rip are basically working directly for 10 Petal, so what’s stopping Carter bringing a leopard home?
It’s a rogue move, but not an impossible one… but for now, we’ll just have to trust that Dwight’s leopard is A-okay somewhere in Rio Paloma.
