Yellowstone’s Piper Perabo Doesn’t Think Her Character Is Any Match For Beth – Looper

That’s hardly against Summer Higgins as Beth Dutton has yet to meet a man or woman on “Yellowstone” she couldn’t eviscerate in the space of a few punishing phrases. But as far as toughness goes, Summer, more surprisingly, held her own in the pair’s infamous first meeting. And though she ultimately didn’t come out on top when the duo threw down in Season 5, Summer put a legit hurting on Beth when their rivalry finally came to blows. 

Nonetheless, Piper Perabo recently told TV Guide that Summer is hardly set to wrench control of the Dutton’s Ranching empire away from Beth. “I always tease Kelly [Reilly] and say I’m gonna marry your dad and take the ranch …” Perabo said, adding, “But I don’t think Summer has a chance. She’s pretty low on the succession there.” That last statement remains abundantly true despite the fact that things are turning romantic between John Dutton and Summer. Beth is, after all, one of two full-blooded Duttons (including Kayce Dutton) ahead of her in the line of succession. John’s wayward adopted son Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) also has eyes on the prize, and he only seems to get more devious by the day. 

Thankfully, Summer seems less interested in John’s empire, and more intrigued by the man himself. Even still, given how protective Beth has proven to be of her father, Summer might actually have an easier time laying claim to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
