The explosivefinaleofYellowjacketshas just aired, and it offered as many questions as it did answers.

Why Did Shauna Move In The Card Selection?

Since Van and Taissa know where the queen is, they dont need to check.

Travis and Natalie on a hunt in Yellowjackets

At this point, Shauna realises the draw is fixed.

Given Shaunas descent into darkness and her long-running feud with Mari, her reaction isnt that shocking.

Why Did Akilah Kill The Animals?

As a result, they need a new plan to escape, and Akilah gives them a reason.

By killing her animals, the girls will need food, and she knows Lottie will suggest a hunt.

But killing her animals is a great personal sacrifice.

Ellie from the HBO TV show and the video game The Last Of Us.

Not only does it mean poisoning things she loves very dearly, it also puts herself at risk.

Mari, who was in on the plan with Nat and Gen, ends up paying the ultimate price.

But it may also see them rescued in the end.

Akilah, however, is not seen after entering the cave with Lottie.

Her fate appears to still be in the balance.

Why Did Mari Take Off Her Clothes?

Lottie holds a Queen of Hearts card with its eyes scratched out.

There are two reasons Mari strips down in the wilderness, though one is less satisfying than the other.

However, there is a practical reason too.

By discarding her clothes, Mari leaves a false trail for the girls to follow.

Why Did Taissa Eat Vans Heart?

This is a very interesting moment, and one weve gota more comprehensive breakdown on here.

Why Doesnt Melissa Kill Shauna?

Van bleeds out after being stabbed in the heart.

It does seem as though killing Shauna would solve a lot of problems.

However, she relents when she realises she cannot do it.

She may also still have feelings for Shauna, though after Shauna shot and humiliated her, thats doubtful.

What Did Travis Mean About Jackies Memories?

This seems to suggest there is a mystical presence, and its not just us.

That would explain why Lottie didnt fall into the pit and why Laura Lees plane caught fire.

Travis thoughts on the wilderness are everchanging as he struggles to explain what he has seen.

Hes also clearly drunk on hallucinogenic berries when slurring at Shauna.

Because we all feel the same way about Courtney Eaton.

Laura Lee steers a plane.

What we can say is Travis memories are vague.

He says sleepovers, making out, and betrayal.

Maybe season four has the answers.

What Did Lottie Mean “You’ve Been Here Before”?

Akilah also saw dead animals that season, which were extremely relevant in the finale.

Plus I really, really, really want to see Laura Lee back in the show.

You just took Mari from me, you animals.

Give me Laura Lee back.

Why Didnt Nat Tell Everyone Misty Had The Transponder?

Lottie appears tired and confused.

This could explain why Misty worships Nat in the adult timeline despite limited interactions in the wilderness.

Crystal found this out the hard way in season two.

Who Survives To Be Rescued - Is The Eight Survivors Theory True?

ParamountTagHeader

The long-held fanon of eight survivors looks to be dead in the water.

However, there are a total of 13 people still in the forest now.

Some have their fate confirmed, others are unknown as it’s possible for you to see below.

What Will Happen In Season 4?

One thing to get out the way is that the show has not yet been renewed.

However, viewership is up this season, andParamount is steadily building its streaming platform.

As for the plot itself, we can assume they get rescued.

Lottie is packed off to Switzerland and the rest of the survivors deal with life without the wilderness.

Some thrive, others dont.

I hope youre enjoying cheeseburgers wherever you are, Mari Ibarra.
