For one, the creative team may have felt like there were already too many big shocks in those final minutes, and wanted to hold back on revealing even more so that viewers would be more worried about the core family rather than the ranch. Now, if all of this is true, one of the biggest follow-up questions becomes "Why would Yellowstone brush such an important moment like that aside without making it clear what happened?" That's not easy to answer without some insight from co-creator Taylor Sheridan or any of the cast, but there are a couple of factors that could clear things up. Still, that wouldn't explain why Monica turned around to look off in the distance just after the explosion was heard. But after rewatching several more times with an open mind, that initially hypothesis seems blatantly wrong, unless the sound designer accidentally dropped something on his controls when putting the final mix through. I'm pretty sure the first couple of times I watched those hectic moments, I didn't have my volume up all the way, and my brain probably conflated the explosion noise to have come from Kacey's side of things. As Monica is reacting to what she hears over the phone and calling out Kacey's name, amidst the gunshots and breaking glass, there's the sound of a huge explosion behind Monica, which causes her to turn and look back. From there, the sequence shifted to Luke Grimes' Kacey being attacked as he was on the phone with Kelsey Asbille's Monica, and here's where things took an interesting turn that I'd completely missed previously. After Rip got his ring for Beth, Yellowstone's Season 3 finale delivered that brutal blow for Jimmy when he fell off of the horse and knocked himself unconscious, following it up with Kelly Reilly's Beth having her office go kaboom.
