Was it an intentional or premeditated? How does that weird symbol factor in? And how will these ramifications reverberate through the rest of the show? Will season 2 be any good? Surely there’s a role for somebody like Uma Thurman right?) This raises more questions: were the girls in their “Lord of the Flies” occult feral form when they were discovered? How did they explain any of this stuff? Going back further, there’s the question of how the plane crashed in the first place. There is one question that supersedes all others – how did the girls get out of the woods? Who rescued them? How were they found? And what was left of them? Are there other survivors that we haven’t reconnected with? (To that last question, we’re guessing yes. ‘Yellowjackets’ Review: Showtime’s Chilling Thriller Focuses on Survivors of a Mysterious ’90s Plane Crash How did they get out of the woods? And why did the plane crash? What other havoc did she wreak, both then and now? Also, a related question: what is Misty’s whole deal? Is she a friend or foe? And how much of the bad stuff in the woods was she really responsible for? She certainly didn’t speak up when the stew was being made with her poison mushrooms. The question remains: how are they going to do it? In undoubtedly the grisliest way possible. And at the end of last week’s episode, Natalie shows up at the home of the delightfully unhinged Misty (Christina Ricci) to ask her for help getting rid of the body. She’s already roped Taissa and Natalie (Juliette Lewis) into her little murder conspiracy. Listen, the point is that Shauna killed Adam and now they have to do something about it. As it turns out, he wasn’t, and the blackmailer was actually Shauna’s husband Jack (Warren Kole). In last week’s episode, something genuinely shocking happened: the grown up Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) murdered Adam (Peter Gadiot), a mechanic she was having an affair with and who she assumed was blackmailing her and the other survivors. If he wasn’t at least a little bit important, they probably wouldn’t have lingered on him so much… How are they going to get rid of Adam’s body? It would be great to see that even before the plane crash and to finally find out what happened to that ghoul in the attic. The woods have, if not a supernatural power, then a kind of natural influence on those who spend too much time there. (Did that old bag of bones do the flashing light?) It seems conceivable that at some point there will be a lengthy flashback to the history of the cabin and its lone inhabitant who died a sad death by himself in the attic. Who is the skeleton in the cabin? ShowtimeĪnother cabin-related mystery is the question of who the mummified corpse in the attic was. But who? And also: why? Hopefully we get some answers. Travis’ death was staged to look like a suicide but the other survivors know better: somebody killed Travis. Who did kill Travis (Kevin Alves), the oldest of Coach Martinez’s sons and one of the survivors of the plane crash that actually got out of the woods. This is obviously one of the biggest questions that has been pressing on the entire gang for most of season (and is one that is repeatedly brought up, double-underlining its importance). Most think the victim is Jackie (Ella Purnell), the leader of the soccer team, due to the necklace and, you know, the fact that we have yet to be introduced to modern day Jackie, suggesting she didn’t make it out of the woods. (It’s confusing!) So that is obviously the biggest question. (Although “Doomcoming” suggests that Lottie, the girl with visions, is indeed the horned queen.) In the twisty-turny “Yellowjackets” structure, this is a moment that happened before the main events of the series but after the flashbacks that have been parceled out each week. But the victim’s identity (and the specifics of the group watching and encouraging the young girl to die) has remained obscured. We see her distinctive necklace underneath a hood. In the first moments of the very first episode, we are introduced to a tribe of occult figures (some of which we saw coming together in the “Doomcoming” episode) a girl runs through the woods and falls into a pit. This is perhaps the biggest question, and the one that loomed over the entire season since it was the first one that was introduced. Who was killed in the first episode’s prologue? Major, airplane-sized spoilers for “Yellowjackets” follow.
