WEATHERFORD, Texas — At this point, it’s not a question of if, but how North Texas will figure in the latest episodes of “Yellowstone” and the rest of series creator Taylor Sheridan’s universe of Paramount dramas.

Since the show’s eponymous ranch is in Montana, scenes from across Texas have played an equally important role in this current season, particularly at the 6666 Ranch and the surrounding Panhandle area (and where a “Yellowstone” spinoff is rumored to be show should take place). the works). 6666’s involvement makes sense: Sheridan led a group of investors that bought the sprawling property several years ago.

But on Sunday evening, Sheridan took us to another one of his ranches in Texas, this time closer to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

And he starred himself and one of North Texas’ newest celebrity residents.

Bella Hadid, the supermodel who is dating Texas horse trainer Adan Banuelos, made a guest appearance in the role of Sheridan’s character’s girlfriend.

Sheridan’s character, a horse trainer named Travis, runs a horse cutting operation at Bosque Ranch, a real ranch owned by Sheridan located about 45 minutes southwest of Fort Worth.

The scene included an amusing exchange between Sheridan’s character and a group of Brazilian horse buyers bidding on a high-priced cutting horse. (Incidentally, the scene is set to Texan singer Hayes Carll’s “Down the Road Tonight,” and Carll makes a brief cameo appearance.) The buyers offered $2 million. Sheridan’s character then introduced another group of bidders, who were actually just his maintenance workers. The fake bidders drove up the price until the Brazilian buyers offered $3 million.

As this back-and-forth plays out, Hadid’s character talks to Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton, who asks her what she sees in “Travis” as he puts a horse through a show program for buyers.

“Have you ever seen him ride?” Hadid tells her.

Anyway, the gist of the Bosque Ranch scene was that Beth Dutton needed Travis’ help to sell horses in Yellowstone, Montana. From then on we won’t risk any spoilers.

In September, we caught up with Banuelos, Hadid’s real-life boyfriend, who talked about his new life in the spotlight and dating Hadid, who also has a passion for horses.

“It’s amazing,” Banuelos said. “I have a whole new respect for my wife’s life, which she’s had to deal with because it’s getting a little crazy. It’s great to see how well she handles all of this. When this whole deal started, she says, “Hey, this is your deal, you do it,” and I say, “Baby, I’ll bring you a horse, hopefully you’ll change your mind.”
