SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details for the Season 5 return of Yellowstone on Sunday. Written as usual by Taylor Sheridan, the long-awaited final half of Yellowstone’s fifth season opened Sunday with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) pulling up to the governor’s mansion to see all hell has broken loose with emergency vehicles flashing everywhere.

That’s the best bit, in fact: the singing nun in the naughty corner.  Paddington in Peru is…
