i keep seeing everyone saying he had her sterilized. The way I read that scene was he was put in the position that his father should have handled but for whatever reason he had to. Beth was pregnant and he “handled it” I don’t recall any intentional maliciousness to have her sterilized which is purposeful and not an accident or repair that was needed during surgery.

As for his cowardice, He’s traumatized. physically and mentally abused for decades. I would expect nothing less. He literally flinches around Beth — she’s used him as a punching bag for years and in that time he hit back once. — I just don’t like physical abuse whether it comes form a woman or a man. I think Jamie is 100000% a result of his upbringing. He killed a reporter to protect himself and the family. Where did he learn that? The brand on the chest.

she desperately wanted to keep it from her father that’s why she turned to Jamie for help. the clinic told him she would be sterilized. he let her go through with it knowing she was not only having an abortion, but that they would make sure she couldn’t get pregnant again. they did that then on the res and it’s disgusting. he purposely didn’t tell her because he selfishly and cowardly just wanted it handled. boo hoo poor little Jamie.

Beth was also traumatized as a child. her mother verbally and emotionally abused her for being afraid of horses, and then accidentally got crushed by a horse herself, which Beth witnessed and feels partially responsible for. She sucked it all up and now kicks her family’s enemies’ asses.

Also, JD paid for Jamie’s education that probably cost in the six figures that he would never have gotten if he weren’t a Dutton.
