Yellowjackets: That finishing defined and all our WTF questions

Should you’ve simply completed the season 1 finale of Yellowjackets, then we are with you. The brand new Showtime hit introduced haunting traits for Shauna and Jackie, large mental finds for Taissa and extra threat for Natalie. It used to be a impressive finale that resulted in extra questions than solutions, and we aren’t mad about it.

Let’s dive into the whole lot that took place and our greatest WTF questions, whilst nonetheless making an attempt to get well from that brutal personality demise.

Yellowjackets finishing defined

So much went down within the season finale of Yellowjackets, so let’s move throughout the greatest finds.

Taissa has a tousled shrine beneath her space

This used to be some of the craziest, maximum sudden finds for me. We in the end came upon what took place to Taissa’s circle of relatives canine. Taissa minimize its head off and used it to create a fully warped shrine beneath her space. If it wasn’t Taissa, it used to be Van or some other member of the cult. Van is invincible by way of this level, so she’s for sure making it out of the desert.

What else used to be at the shrine? Her son’s creepy doll, along a drawing of what I’m now going to start out calling the “Cult Emblem”.

Now the query is: Did Taissa do that in her creepy dirt-eating, tree mountain climbing, sleep strolling state? Or did she do it consciously. I am guessing it used to be carried out in sleep strolling state, however we did minimize to a creepy smile broaching throughout Taissa’s face after the expose.

Did Taissa create this shrine to win the election?

Lottie is alive?

The general twist of the finale used to be the largest one: Lottie is probably alive and in all probability the chief of a complete blown cult according to what took place within the desert. 

Within the finale, grownup Natalie, at the verge of suicide, is abducted by way of what seems to be a bunch of cult lackies. It is then right away printed that Lottie Matthews tired Travis’ checking account, which means she or other folks in her staff may well be answerable for Travis’ demise.

We additionally see Van and Misty sign up for Lottie for a unusual ritual within the desert. Is Misty performing as a double agent within the provide storyline? That is Misty we are speaking about so anything else is conceivable.

Jackie is lifeless

Clearly we sorta knew Jackie used to be lifeless, for the reason that she does not seem within the provide storyline and Shauna attended a unusual celebration/memorial with Jackie’s oldsters. However now we all know for absolute positive she dies within the desert. 

After a brutal argument with Shauna within the cabin, bringing Jackie and Shauna’s latent problems to the outside, the women necessarily banish Jackie from the cabin, which means she has to sleep outdoor. Actually and figuratively the women freeze Jackie out since, in a single day, an enormous quantity of snow falls and Jackie freezes to demise.

It is a brutal, haunting end result. Completely done by way of the display. None of it felt outlandish. It will completely have took place and can virtually indisputably function a turning level for the gang and their possible descent into insanity.

Our burning questions…

Who’s the Antler Queen?

At this level is turns out crystal transparent it is Lottie.

Now not best that however from the finale it is lovely transparent that both Lottie remains to be alive, or a terrifying non secular cult has sprung up following her movements within the desert.

Who will get killed and ‘eaten’ originally?

I have rewatched the display’s opening collection to peer if I may just determine who will get spiked on the very get started of the display.

To start with I used to be satisfied it used to be Lottie. Satisfied. My operating principle used to be the women banded in opposition to her and her witchcraft techniques and made up our minds to… consume her to make bizarre stuff now not occur?

Now I am not so positive. Many early theories had this particular person as Jackie, however after the season finale it is lovely transparent that particular person is now not Jackie. It may well be somebody at this level. (A part of me nonetheless thinks it is Lottie and this cult is sort of a staff of Yellowjackets obsessives who began a cult in her wake.)

The place is Javi?

Critically guy, does somebody care about Javi? The place the hell has he long past?

A variety of other folks imagine Javi is Adam within the provide storyline. I do not purchase that for a 2nd. I believe Javi 100% dies within the desert, however I do not believe he is lifeless at the moment. I think Javi may have an enormous section to play in long run tousled rituals all the way through season 2 and past.

Who’s subsequent to die?

In an previous model of this tale I stated I believed the display can be neatly served to kill off a person personality early, simply to let the target audience know that nobody used to be secure. Neatly, that took place moderately conclusively within the finale, so we all know all bets are off.

I in point of fact imagine that Trainer Ben’s days are numbered and there is no manner Javi is making it out of the desert.

What took place to Shauna’s child?

Up to now, Shauna is pregnant. Within the provide she has a daughter, Callie, who she repeatedly bickers with. Is Callie that child? The ones timelines do not in reality fit up, so…

What took place to Shauna’s child? There is no manner they are gonna consume the infant. That is an excessive amount of for a mainstream display like Yellowjackets. Will they are attempting and pull off a “unexpectedly now not pregnant” plot line? Most likely now not, since Nighttime Mass actually simply did that closing 12 months.

Now not positive how that is gonna play out.

Shauna is certain to miscarry. No manner she may just raise the infant to time period in this type of disturbing setting! Giving delivery can be so dangerous… however so would miscarrying. Both manner, it isn’t going to be a great time.

Who used to be Adam in reality?

Adam used to be hilariously stabbed to demise by way of Shauna, however is that the top of that exact thriller? It by no means sat proper with me that Adam pursued Shauna so intensely and fell in love so briefly. Used to be he only a Yellowjackets fan boy that grew up with the thriller, or is there one thing extra happening there?

Can Lottie see the longer term for actual?

To be fair, I am hoping issues do not move full-blown supernatural.

I believe the whole lot Lottie has predicted — the river flowing with blood, as an example — does, as Taissa argues, have logical explanations (the river is it appears operating pink from concentrated minerals). Even though, to be honest, Taissa additionally turns right into a dirt-eating tree-climber at night time, so she will not be probably the most dependable supply.

What used to be Lottie taking her drugs for?

Lottie is taking a medicine referred to as “Loxipene” which is possibly a connection with Loxapene, a medicine for schizophrenia. In episode 3, on the other hand, Lottie runs out of her drugs. Now not lengthy after, we see her conduct begin to trade — she’s getting paranoid, turns into quieter, and begins making lovely obscure and unnerving statements. It is price noting that, so far as we all know, Lottie hasn’t informed any of the others about her sickness.

Who died within the cabin? Is that this a haunting/cursed/ghost state of affairs?

There may be one principle doing the rounds that an deserted mining operation is situated up from the pink river. Whoever died within the cabin would possibly have some connection.

Why used to be that stag all maggoty at the inside of?

I will’t consider we will ever get a solution to this, however how used to be this animal up and strolling round with its interior organs all hollowed out and coated in maggots? I NEED TO KNOW!

Who’s the Guy without a Eyes and why does Taissa stay seeing him? 

The Guy With No Eyes seems in episode 3 — first as an apparition observed by way of each Taissa and her grandmother simply ahead of Grandma dies, and later within the woods after the aircraft crash. He seems simply within the distance: pallid pores and skin, darkish hair and, after all, large gaping holes the place his eyes must be.

To start with, it sort of feels like there is usually a purely mental reason why in the back of this spectre. Perhaps Taissa used to be traumatized from her demise grandma speaking to “a person without a eyes” and her creativeness crammed within the blanks. Alternatively, coupled with Taissa’s son Sammy’s conduct — protecting his home windows with drawings of eyes and eyeless other folks, his doll disappearing from the highest of the cabinet best to look at the basement flooring with its eyes got rid of — we start to suppose that The Guy with No Eyes if truth be told lives on this realm and now not simply in Taissa’s creativeness.

Previous Eyeless Lad seems in brief within the opening credit and sure, each and every time, I am getting spooked. It is a essentially unnerving personality and it is a surprise to peer him first seem, particularly when the primary two episodes featured negligible supernatural parts. He is but to reappear, however possibly he will make a comeback within the finale. A reappearance and even possible clues that he is a supernatural entity would open us as much as extra questions: If The Guy with No Eyes is actual, does that imply Lottie’s visions and religious connection to the wooded area are greater than displays of her schizophrenia?
