Rip is too smart to kill Jamie. He will drag him thru the political ringer bringing up the fact he murdered that reporter and sent her down the creek. (Remember that other chick (Jamie's campaign manager) that got pregnant is still alive and believe me will be in this next season) Jamie will then be removed from office and replaced with someone more beneficial to Dutton.

The young boy will save John and be branded and adopted by Rip.

Beth is dead. No way she survived that pipe bomb. (I know I know its hollywood)

I think the Indian Chief had a part in this hit because of that fat-lipped (dsl) indian lawyer put it in his head that John had to be dead. I think John is back to square one with enemies at all angles and no friends.

KC becomes guvnah before the 2 years due to the current whores conflict of interest (dutton will find a way to drag her thru the mud for her false dealings and getting Jamie (a murderer) in office)

Not sure what to think or where the rodeo boy plays into this but I do think his gf and her friend are conspiring with the country singer to take down the duttons. He was too nosey about the train station and shes too pressing to get him to ride again. Hell he may be dead from trying to ride that bronco, who knows
