Jimmy Hurdstrom's arrival at the Four Sixes Ranch ties into the plot of the upcoming "Yellowstone" spin-off, "6666," so fans can likely expect to see more scenes dedicated to furthering the character's horse breeding education. For his part, Jefferson White called it a "very serious, big deal industry" in the "Behind the Story" featurette for "Keep the Wolves Close." In the same featurette, White and Kathryn Kelly also shared their reactions to the episode's awkward horse scene.
"Collecting, um, some things from horses is very normal for someone who works on a ranch every day," Kelly said, laughing. "It was not normal for me, however."
"On the outside, I was trying to keep it together and be like, 'You are used to this, you've seen this a hundred times before,' but on the inside, I was low-key freaking out," the actor admitted. White, however, praised Kelly's performance in the episode and said it was "such an incredible gift" to work with her.
Despite the not-so-romantic circumstances of their first encounter, sparks are already flying between Jimmy and Emily too. Now, "Yellowstone" fans will have to keep watching to not only see what's next for the new coworkers, but also whether or not any romance blossoms between them in the near future.
