‘Yellowjackets’ Mysteries, Theories and Answers — Photos

Who was the man in Jackie’s dream?

As Jackie was freezing to dying within the Season 1 finale, she had a dream through which her teammates — together with the deceased Laura Lee  — welcomed her again into the cabin. In that imaginative and prescient, a person stood behind the room and stated, “So glad you’re becoming a member of us. We’ve been ready for you.” Within the present’s press supplies, the character known as merely “Hunter,” and a few followers have theorized that he’s the person whom the women discovered lifeless within the cabin earlier within the season, and probably the identical one who beforehand piloted the small airplane that Laura Lee later tried to make use of to flee.

When TVLine requested sequence creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson about whether or not the mysterious man could have significance transferring ahead, they confirmed that he would. “We undoubtedly know who he’s, yeah, and we’ve got an entire factor [planned],” Nickerson added.

What is the story behind the No-Eyed Man?

The slender, creepy specter was a part of Tai’s life lengthy earlier than her soccer group crashed into the Canadian Rockies: In Season 1, Episode 3, a flashback exhibits us younger Tai getting a daunting glimpse of him in a mirror as her ailing grandmother is dying. Later within the season, as she’s speaking to reporters outdoors her dwelling in Episode 5, he exhibits up briefly throughout the road — although if Tai sees him then, she doesn’t react. Up to now in Season 2, he’s led a not-in-control-of-herself Tai by the woods (and nearly to her dying) in the course of the flashback timeline, following a path which will or will not be associated to the stick figure-like symbols carved into the bushes.

Don’t count on a fast decision to this thriller, says Tawny Cypress, who performs Taissa as an grownup. The ghastly determine received’t “determine loads in Season 2,” she not too long ago instructed us. “In actual fact, Taissa’s entire story doesn’t determine loads in Season 2. You’re going to have to attend a minimum of till Season 3 to get some actual solutions on what’s occurring together with her.” If it helps in any respect, Cypress is correct there with you: “The person with no eyes, he’s a thriller to all of us at this level,” she stated.

Why was that one tree thawed?

When Natalie and Travis are out searching/searching for Javi, she comes throughout a tree that’s surprisingly thawed regardless of the snow and ice surrounding it. The moss is even a vibrant, summery inexperienced! The present clearly desires us to concentrate: Nat stops, seems to be on the tree for a second and notes how bizarre it appears.

Some followers have theorized that maybe the warmth that melted every little thing across the tree is coming from an underground supply, probably a tunnel or bunker akin to the one through which Lottie lit candles in the course of the imaginative and prescient she had when Laura Lee baptized her in Season 1. This leads properly into our subsequent query…

UPDATE: As Coach Ben realized in Episode 8, the bottom of the tree hid the doorway to an underground hole that was heat, and that held (amongst different issues) rope and matches. Javi knew concerning the cave-like construction, too — sheltering there may be doubtless how he stayed alive throughout his absence from the cabin — and he was most certainly making an attempt to steer Natalie there when she was chased by the remainder of the group in Episode 8.

The place was Javi when he was lacking?

… how within the heck did Travis’ little brother, Javier, survive within the frigid chilly with out meals or shelter for weeks on finish? The youthful Martinez was gone for 2 months after the ill-fated Doomcoming in Season 1, but he appears wholesome and entire — if unwilling/unable to speak — when he’s present in Season 2’s fourth episode.

Would possibly Javi have hidden someplace heat, just like the aforementioned and extremely hypothetical tunnels/bunker? In any case, simply moments earlier than they stumble throughout him, Van and Tai do discover that the ice within the space appears to be melting.

UPDATE: As we famous within the earlier slide, primarily based on the occasions of Episode 8, it seems that Javi was hiding out within the cave underneath the nice and cozy tree.

Who’s the Antler Queen?

There’s loads to counsel that the masked woman sporting the antlers within the sequence’ very first episode, aka the one that appears to be accountable for the barbaric technique of killing and consuming one other woman, is Lottie. In any case, because the sequence progresses, each her supernatural leanings and her means to command loyalty have grown by the episode. The current-day timeline additionally appears to trace at Lottie’s queenly standing: She’s the chief of a cult (OK, OK, “retreat middle”) who has antlers hanging on the constructing she calls dwelling.

That stated: A lot can occur between from time to time within the flashback timeline, so it’s fully doable that one other woman can and can assume the spiky crown. All we all know for positive is that it isn’t Misty, who’s proven taking off a completely different masks on the finish of that sequence within the sequence premiere.

UPDATE: The occasions of the Season 2 finale point out that Natalie was an Antler Queen — however was she the Antler Queen we see within the sequence premiere? (Christina Ricci positive thinks so.)

Who’s the woman within the pit?

Early guesses on this one pointed to Jackie, on condition that the woman who’s chased to her dying within the sequence’ premiere is sporting Jackie’s gold necklace. However the jewellery has modified fingers just a few occasions since then: Jackie put it on a scared Shauna on the airplane (“It’s principally a good-luck attraction. Now, nothing can contact you.” Eep!), and Lottie made positive that Shauna got here into possession of it after Jackie died. Given the pit sufferer’s hair and pores and skin colour and total construct, we’re guessing that perhaps Mari winds up impaled on the backside of the outlet?

Have we met all the survivors?

Along with the women within the picture above, we additionally know that Van, Lottie and Travis survived the group’s trial within the wilderness, although Travis is now not with us. That leaves an enormous query mark regarding Mari, Crystal, Gen, Akilah, Melissa, Javi and Coach Ben. A rewatch of the slide present at the highschool reunion within the Season 1 finale doesn’t shed many clues, however are you able to actually depend on accuracy in a multimedia presentation constructed by somebody who begins their speech with, “Worddefinition.internet defines a reunion as a union that’s taking place once more”?

Why is Mari the one one who can hear dripping within the cabin?

Perhaps we’ve simply been studying an excessive amount of Outlander. However there’s a Scottish superstition that claims the sound of dripping water in a home portends an imminent dying… and that’s all we will take into consideration each time Mari is the one one within the cabin who hears that incessant, and as-yet unidentified, sound.

UPDATE: In Episode 8, Tai additionally hears the dripping noise, after which Mari hallucinates blood dripping from the wall the place the noticed, knives and different sharp devices are stored.

What does that image imply?

The image that confirmed up on the blackmail notes (good contact, Jeff) additionally seems carved into bushes within the Canadian wilderness and is, in reality, the form through which these carved bushes are laid out. However what the heck does it imply? Is it a way of safety, like Lottie guessed? An invocation of evil, as others have questioned? And, uh, what is that form, precisely?

What occurred to Shauna’s child?

Callie, a young person, is simply too younger to be the infant that Shauna’s carrying within the wilderness. (That child could be in its mid-20s right now.) And it’s now a matter of file that the survivors received’t chow down on the toddler if/when it’s born. Phew. So… what turns into of Jeff and Shauna’s love little one? Would possibly we get to fulfill the littlest survivor within the present-day storyline sometime?

UPDATE: In Episode 6, Shauna has a stillbirth; her son didn’t survive. On condition that it looks like she delivered the placenta first, it seems that she suffered a placental abruption.

Is the supernatural actually at play?

Sure, there is likely to be some otherworldly entity insinuating itself into the hearts and minds of the crash survivors, and that entity is likely to be sturdy sufficient to keep up a lifelong presence. However when you think about what we all know to be true — that these women are scared and ravenous, and that a few of them had psychological well being points lengthy earlier than they boarded that non-public jet — isn’t it simply as believable (if no more so) that circumstance and coincidence are making them assume, hear, see and really feel issues that aren’t actually there?

That stated: All of that stuff that occurred when Lottie all of the sudden began talking French after which smashed her head into the window on the seance? Creepy as hell.

UPDATE: The Season 2 finale options this interplay between Shauna and Lottie that we predict is quite attention-grabbing. Lottie is referring to the wilderness and its sway over the group. SHAUNA: You already know there’s no “it,” proper? It was simply us! LOTTIE: Is there a distinction?
