The Season 2 finale of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys had a little bit of everything. There was a wedding, chatter of an FBI investigation, and a shocking car accident that resulted in Galyna Saltkovska’s arrest.
The cameras weren’t rolling at the time of Galyna’s accident because everyone was all-hands on deck at Jesse McBee’s wedding. Galyna was on her way to the ceremony when things got flipped upside down.

The drama went down in Season 2 Episode 10, as Jesse exchanged vows with Alli Ventresca. Galyna accepted a last-minute invite to the wedding, but when she didn’t show up, Steven McBee Jr. started getting worried. Where in the world is McBee Farm & Cattle’s CFO?
Eventually, he got a call from her daughter, who told him that she had been in an accident. Kathleen French, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Unscripted Current Production at NBCUniversal, told Bravo’s The Daily Dish that producers had to scramble to check on their missing cast member.
“We didn’t know either,” Kathleen said. “Producers jumped in the car. They drove over there… and they captured it all in real time — including her coming home that night.”
According to Kathleen, the crash happened “just miles” away from Jesse and Alli’s wedding venue. They wound up using the GPS to locate Galyna. When they arrived, they saw her G-Wagon loaded onto a tow truck.
The producers whipped out their cameras, which is what we saw in the episode, along with bodycam footage from the police officers. Galyna told the cops she had a “nervous breakdown” while driving to the wedding. They wound up arresting her for “suspicion of driving while intoxicated.”
Ultimately, the cops decided not to pursue those charges. The cops wound up ticketing her with a misdemeanor reckless driving charge. Fortunately, everyone walked away from this, and Kathleen predicted that this would go down as one of the most “iconic” episodes of The McBee Dynasty.
She said, “I thought that the combination of this beautiful wedding — the first of the sons getting married, just how happy everyone was — intercut with the Galyna arrest was spectacular.”
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
