Yellowstone: Kevin Costner stars in season four trailer

Yellowstone fans have been crawling the walls for months, desperate to know what happens next to the Duttons and finally, the Western drama returned to Paramount Network. Season four delved into who survived the season three cliffhanger and also included an unexpected death. There was also focus on Jimmy Hurdstrom (played by Jefferson White) who fell off his bull for the second time in the third season finale and found his fate hanging by the balance before the fourth run rolled around.

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Yellowstone.Season three saw Jimmy seriously injure himself on more than one occasion.

He wanted to make some extra cash and so Jimmy learned how to rodeo ride.

The ranch hand started taking part in competitions but fell off his horse earlier on in the series and came dangerously close to paralysis.

Thankfully, he made a full recovery with boss and mentor John Dutton (Kevin Costner) taking care of the medical bills - but only on the condition that he wouldn't try to rodeo ever again.

However, with some encouragement from his girlfriend Mia (Eden Brolin), Jimmy jumped straight back on the horse, despite his nerves.

While the main focus of the series three finale was on the Dutton attacks, Jimmy's life was also at risk.

He fell off his horse yet again at the Dutton Ranch despite John's words of warning and was left unconscious.

Jimmy is clearly extremely lucky as he survived for a second time, only needing some therapy before he was able to be discharged.

In the season four opener, he later returned to the ranch with his employer John Dutton there to greet him.

John is disappointed with Jimmy as he had previously given him his word that he wouldn't take part in rodeo riding again.

However, as Mia was eager for her boyfriend to not give up, Jimmy broke his promise to his boss.

Jimmy, no longer trying to keep his promises, admitted to John that once he recovers from his injuries, he would be doing it all over again.

So instead of letting Jimmy go at it alone, John agreed to send him out with Travis (Taylor Sheridan), so he could be taught how to be a "real cowboy" according to Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

However, after breaking his promise to John, his future at the Dutton Ranch looks seriously in doubt.

In the next scene, Rip is seen having a conversation with Carter, a youngster who is now living at Yellowstone.

Rip tells him that he should never feel like he "deserves" his chance at the ranch as "no one deserves it".

This could be seen as Rip's way of looking out for Carter, hoping that he wouldn't make the same mistakes as Jimmy.

But fans are going to have to sit tight to find out what the next episode will hold.
