‘Yellowjackets’ Mysteries, Theories and Solutions — Pictures

Who was the man in Jackie’s dream?

As Jackie was freezing to dying within the Season 1 finale, she had a dream wherein 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 is named merely “Hunter,” and a few followers have theorized that he’s the person whom the ladies discovered useless within the cabin earlier within the season, and probably the identical one that beforehand piloted the small aircraft that Laura Lee later tried to make use of to flee.

When TVLine asked series 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 now have 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 staff 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 exterior her house in Episode 5, he exhibits up briefly throughout the road — although if Tai sees him then, she doesn’t react. Thus far in Season 2, he’s led a not-in-control-of-herself Tai via the woods (and virtually to her dying) in the course of the flashback timeline, following a path that will or will not be associated to the stick figure-like symbols carved into the bushes.

Don’t anticipate a fast decision to this thriller, says Tawny Cypress, who performs Taissa as an grownup. The ghastly determine gained’t “determine loads in Season 2,” she recently told us. “In truth, Taissa’s complete story doesn’t determine loads in Season 2. You’re going to have to attend at the least till Season 3 to get some actual solutions on what’s happening together with her.” If it helps in any respect, Cypress is true 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 looking/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 all the pieces across the tree is coming from an underground supply, probably a tunnel or bunker akin to the one wherein 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’s probably how he stayed alive throughout his absence from the cabin — and he was most certainly making an attempt to guide Natalie there when she was chased by the remainder of the staff 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 complete — 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 spite of everything, 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 lady carrying the antlers in the series’ very first episode, aka the one that appears to be accountable for the barbaric technique of killing and consuming one other lady, is Lottie. In spite of everything, 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 heart”) who has antlers hanging on the constructing she calls house.

That stated: Lots can occur between from time to time within the flashback timeline, so it’s fully potential that one other lady can and can assume the spiky crown. All we all know for certain 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 sure thinks so.)

Who’s the lady within the pit?

Early guesses on this one pointed to Jackie, on condition that the lady who’s chased to her dying within the sequence’ premiere is carrying Jackie’s gold necklace. However the jewellery has modified fingers a couple of occasions since then: Jackie put it on a scared Shauna on the aircraft (“It’s basically a good-luck charm. Now, nothing can touch you.” Eep!), and Lottie made certain that Shauna got here into possession of it after Jackie died. Given the pit sufferer’s hair and pores and skin colour and general 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 photograph above, we additionally know that Van, Lottie and Travis survived the staff’s trial within the wilderness, although Travis is not with us. That leaves a giant 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.web defines a reunion as a union that’s taking place once more”?

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

Possibly 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, actually, the form wherein these carved bushes are laid out. However what the heck does it imply? Is it a method 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 youngster, is simply too younger to be the child that Shauna’s carrying within the wilderness. (That child can be in its mid-20s as we speak.) And it’s now a matter of record that the survivors gained’t chow down on the toddler if/when it’s born. Phew. So… what turns into of Jeff and Shauna’s love youngster? Would possibly we get to satisfy 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 fascinating. Lottie is referring to the wilderness and its sway over the staff. SHAUNA: You realize there’s no “it,” proper? It was simply us! LOTTIE: Is there a distinction?
