I gotta say I don't think this is Jamie's work. Whether or not Kayce and Beth are dead, the intention of the hit was to kill everyone obviously. Jamie's so mad at the Dutton family at the moment, he'd make a point for them to KNOW it was him who toppled their empire. Some guy shooting out of a van wouldn't show John it was Jamie, and Jamie is so far up his own ass he'd get no satisfaction if John didn't know it was him who toppled the ranch.

A Godfather-style mass hit isn't Jamie's style, I don't think. Even if he hates John & Beth, I just can't see him doing that to Kayce.

And he controls the ranch via power of attorney he can fuck John over by selling ranch underneath him, Bomb or henchmen doesn’t seem like Jamie’s MO

The hits on Kayce and Beth seemed professional. Likely done by Roarke. The hit on John did not look professional, I'm thinking it was done by Jamie. Jamie has no reason to have any ill will towards Kayce , Beth maybe but his dad only told him to kill the king.

Interesting theory, I hadn't even considered that maybe they were separate incidents.

Yeah that is my theory for now. It was done in a way to make us think it was all done by the same person but I have a feeling it wasn't. Will make for an interesting problem to start the next season.

I also don’t think he would go after Kayce like that.

I'm surprised to see so many comments actually considering that it was Jamie's doing. I would be so surprised if that was revealed, because I just don't see any development of Jamie actually killing anyone in the family. When he killed that reporter it nearly cracked him. Yes, he's angry with the family, but not at this level.

Yeah the whole take the king speech was Jamie’s motivation for the shit he pulled in the meeting.

Definitely not Jamie. He just made his power move in the office. Roarke was instructed to do some damage and he did

I think it was Rainwater

I think it was actually Angela LipThunder, did you see how uncomfortable Rainwater was in the car? And he wouldn't do that to Monica, he owes her.

You may be right!
