Monica Dutton once again ends up in a life-threatening situation in “Yellowstone” Season 5, Episode 1. By this point, she’s been pregnant for months. After feeling acute pain resulting from her pregnancy, she and Tate consult with Kayce and decide she would benefit from an emergency hospital visit. On the way there, Monica is distracted by her medical condition and can’t avoid a buffalo on the road. She and the driver of another car end up in a crash with the buffalo. Monica goes into labor, but her baby son doesn’t survive the damage sustained in this incident.
This major loss affects Monica and the rest of the Dutton family as the season progresses. Notably, after watching Season 5, Episode 4, “Yellowstone” fans felt emotional about a tender moment between Monica and John Dutton (Kevin Costner), in which he assures her that her baby lived what he would consider a perfect life.
So, while Monica survives three serious incidents, her car crash in Season 5 has the most significant impact on her, permanently coloring her character as “Yellowstone” approaches its endgame.
