Her bear heart sacrifice out in the snow. Her crown-esque headgear for the wilderness homecoming. The scene where she wakes up in the middle of the night and stands up in front of antlers mounted to the cabin wall, giving her an antler crown. Her visions of a deer shedding its antlers. Probably not, but all signs are pointing to Lottie. Can we safely say she's The Antler Queen at this point? The answer is someone named Lottie Matthews. She blackmailed bank worker Suzie into looking into who took the money out of Travis' bank account just before he was found dead from hanging. RIP Allie's broken leg.Īnother huge revelation: Lottie Matthews is still alive? Natalia receives a phone call just before she's kidnapped by the mysterious symbol-wearing group (are they other survivors of the Rockies?). She was always obsessed with winning, whatever the means. The family dog and his heart are sacrificed, it seems, to ensure Taissa wins her election. Her wife, Simone, stumbles across a blood spatter, and then she lays wide eyes on Taissa's secret shrine to, presumably, "the ancient gods of the sky and the dirt," to use Lottie's words. Speaking of the supernatural - it turns out Taissa, the logical one, the one who always had an explanation for Lottie's dreams and omens, has been keeping a dark secret in the basement all along. ![]() Is the man the same person who died in the cabin? Is this "in between" place, as Van describes it, the basis of a cult? One connected to the group of people who kidnap Natalie just before she sadly attempts suicide? Maybe all the dead Yellowjackets are set to return thanks to supernatural forces, which the writers wisely kept at bay for the majority of season 1. is Jackie really gone for good? I'm guessing the answer is a tenuous no (although apparently actress Ella Purnell only had a one-season contract). A shadowy man, with a not so subtle demonic vibe. Only, there's one more figure waiting in the corner. Jackie (Ella Purnell) succumbs to a tragic fate. ![]() Jackie dreams herself and Shauna as best friends once again, and the rest of the Yellowjackets team, including Laura Lee, who died in a plane explosion two episodes ago, welcome her back into the warmth with open arms. Just before tragically freezing to death during the unexpected first snowfall of winter (who else was pleasantly surprised Jackie didn't end up being brutally stabbed by anyone?), Jackie has a vision, one that was presaged by Van's similar experience in the limbo between life and death. After finally confronting Shauna about sleeping with her boyfriend Jeff behind her back - not to mention picking apart the cliches in their cool girl and sidekick best friend dynamic - Jackie angrily spends the night outside the cabin. How does she die? Is she killed in the opening chase scene that everything seems to hinge on?Īpparently, no. ![]() ![]() Once team captain of the Wiskayok Yellowjackets, once best friend of Shauna, Jackie is the only main character who isn't around in the present timeline. Not all of them - the season 1 finale poses a ton more questions - but at least we find out (some of) Jackie's fate. Creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson knew the fire had to burn slowly, so that when the girls finally forget all remnants of who they once were - when they get an appetite for human flesh - it's as believable, impactful and disturbing as can be.Įpisode 10 unleashes some of that hell. The show about a high school girls soccer team stranded in the harsh wilderness promised Lord of the Flies, but with periods, complicated relationships and more intelligent female leaders. bears capped off a glorious first season of Showtime's Yellowjackets.
