One fan summed it up perfectly on Reddit:
The episode packed flashbacks too, showing John’s final days. Over in Texas, Rip stumbled onto a snake den, and Beth showed up with a surprise AirTag in his wallet. Her reason? To track him down and deal with any cowgirl who catches his eye. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Rip confessed to Lloyd he’s unsure if Kayce will take the reins. But amid all this chaos, Kayce stood tall, helping Tateprocess his grandfather’s death. He said to his son,
you may remember the way he lived or you can remember the way he died. Your heart can’t do both.

He was calling in favors, setting up a move that could take Jamie out for good. As the pieces fall into place, it’s clear Kayce is ready to lead.
