"Yes, I think she [Beth] has gone too far. She doesn't think she's gone too far, but her father thinks she's gone too far," Kelly Reilly told Deadline. "One of the most difficult moments for me this season as Beth, when he says 'We kill wolves, not sheep,' Beth can't see the difference, it's kill or be killed for her." Some viewers thought Beth had sunk pretty far when she used her father's new lover, Summer (Piper Perabo), as bait in her scheming, especially when Summer ended up getting arrested in the end. But Beth is so obsessed with saving the ranch and the land, that she will do just about anything, no matter who it hurts.
Beth believes that after confronting Terrell Riggins (Bruno Amato), the man her father thinks set up the hit against her family, she can start over, as a kinder and gentler version of herself. But then she discovers the level of deceit her adopted brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) is involved in, and that he knew his father had been the one who ordered the assassination attempt on them. Beth has so much rage and hatred towards Jamie that she will cross any line to make him pay. "She will do anything, and destroy her own happiness for revenge, and also for her father's dream," Reilly explained. It looks like it may be a while before we truly see a gentler Beth.
