Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for Season 5, Episode 12.

The hit Paramount show “Yellowstone” killed off another character in Sunday night’s episode, leaving some fans upset because this is one they didn’t see coming.

Earlier this season, family patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was killed in a not-so-surprising twist to everyone who understood that Costner was not returning to the second half of the fifth season, choosing instead to focus his time on his own passion project Western film, “Horizon: An American Saga.”

The episode after that included another surprise death. Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), the character who hired the company that killed Dutton and framed it as a suicide, was also murdered. Sunday night’s episode showed the minor yet beloved character Colby Mayfield (Denim Richards), who has been on the show since it began, getting killed off.

Colby died after being kicked in the chest by a wild stallion.

Fans headed to social media to express disdain for the character’s death, blaming showrunner Taylor Sheridan for messing with their emotions.

Richards posted a photo of a director’s chair with his name on it, plus his cowboy hat and boots, and included the caption, “Grateful.”

“My whole fam is in a bad mood tonight. Why did this hurt worse than John being killed?” one fan wrote in response to Richards’ X post.

“There [have] been all kinds of death on the show. This one felt the worst. Brilliant part for an equally brilliant actor. Well done Sir,” another response said.

“I am so happy for your success in the show but I AM LIVID about Taylor killing my favorite cowboy,” a third fan wrote. “I was yelling at the TV and my husband! Well at least he went out in a heroic way. But I will not get over this any time soon! Thanks for playing Colby, I loved him!”

There are only two episodes left in the season, with the finale scheduled to air on Paramount on December 15.
