In a flashback, a teenage Beth got pregnant by Rip Wheeler, but knew her father John Dutton would never accept the baby, so she turned to Jamie to help terminate the pregnancy - a decision that would later haunt her.
Jamie took Beth to a clinic on the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, where he failed to inform her that the mandatory sterilization procedure would permanently prevent her from ever having children, a revelation that has fueled Beth's intense hatred for her brother.
