Revelations From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7—“Croak”
Past Timeline: Other People Know Where the Wilderness Is, and a University Has Been Using It as a Biological Study Space
On Yellowjackets, the wilderness has seemed like a magical, impenetrable space. But, in truth, other people have been visiting the wilderness all along. We learn on Yellowjackets season three, episode seven that a university with the moniker KHU has come by with some regularity to study the biology of the environment, and especially the frogs. The supplies Coach Ben found came from this university. We know that it has been seven years since the university visited, but now researchers are back. Hopefully someone knows where they are.
Past Timeline: The Strangers in the Wilderness Were Frog Biologists
The mysterious strangers we met in Yellowjackets season three, episode six, are actually frog biologists and their wilderness guide. Hannah and Edwin came to the Yellowjackets’ wilderness to study a rare mating act of the Artic Banshee frog, and they brought along a wilderness guide, played by Joel McHale, called Kodi or Kodiak. They surely got more than they bargained for.
Past Timeline: Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7 Confirms Lottie Killed Edwin
Oops. Lottie says the wilderness doesn’t want the strangers in Its space, and that’s why she killed the frog biologist Edwin. But unfortunately for Lottie, this is the first straight-up murder that involves a victim not from the Yellowjackets team and co. We’ll have to see how that plays out for Lottie after the team’s rescue.
Past Timeline: Hannah, One of the Biologists, Has a Child
We see Hannah record parts of the infamous tape Shauna receives in Yellowjackets season three, episode seven. And these scenes reveal that Hannah has a child back in the real world. We bet that child may eventually not feel too happy that his mother never returned from a trip to the woods.
Present Timeline: Tai has Been Evil Tai For a While, Confirms Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7
As we suspected, Van confirms that Tai has indeed not been Tai but other/evil Tai for quite some time. As Van gets close to dying on Yellowjackets season three’s seventh episode, she has a vision of Tai beside her, and Tai’s mouth is covered in dirt. As we know, Other Tai sometimes just has to shove soil into her mouth. Van says she knew it was evil Tai and demands to know how long Tai has been her other self. But evil Tai only smiles wickedly and promises that she’ll save Van’s life.
Questions From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7—“Croak”
Past Timeline: Can Hannah, the Frog Biologist, Help the Team Escape?
The Yellowjackets have acquired a new member of camp in episode seven of season three. Hannah, the frog biologist, is now amongst their number. We don’t quite know how she’ll fit in, or if she can help the Yellowjackets. She’s not a guide, after all. And she doesn’t have any way to contact the outside world. Still, her presence begs the question of whether she’ll be important to the team’s ultimate rescue on Yellowjackets.
Past Timeline: Who Does Joel McHale Play on Yellowjackets?
Community‘s Joel McHale takes on a very different kind of role in Yellowjackets season three. Yellowjackets season three, episode seven properly introduces McHale and we learn that he plays Kodi, a wilderness guide and overall outdoorsman. Kodi is a macho guy, who is too cool for school, and he’s certainly scary. He shoots Melissa with his crossbow from three feet away and he’s not very nice to the late Edwin, whom he clearly deems a nerd. Joel McHale’s Kodi seems to respect the wilderness, but it’s not in the same way as Yellowjackets. We’ll see what It thinks of him.
Past Timeline: Will Joel McHale’s Character Kodi Help Travis and Akilah to Escape?
Travis and Akilah end up saving the life of wilderness guide Kodi. Joel McHale’s Kodi certainly seems like he has a shot at escaping the wilderness on Yellowjackets season three, but will he want to help Travis and Akilah out as well? As we mentioned, he certainly seems a bit unsavory. We’ll have to see how this tense trio get along.
Past Timeline: Can the Broken Satellite Phone Be Fixed on Yellowjackets?
Yellowjackets season three, episode seven, makes a pretty big deal out of showing us the broken satellite phone. But at one point, Hannah claims she might be able to fix it. Could that be true? Will the Yellowjackets be able to fix the broken phone and reach civilization? And even if they can, will anyone be able to find them?
Past Timeline: Melissa Is Shot on Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 7, But Will She Die?
Kodi shoots Melissa with his crossbow on Yellowjackets season three, episode seven. But will Melissa die in the wilderness? Tai, Van, Misty, and Shauna all seem to think she’s dead; they note so in the present day. But is that too easy? Only time will tell. We guess faking one’s death in the wilderness would be easy, but getting rescued without being exposed would be tough. On the other hand, it doesn’t look like Mari survives the wilderness either, and Shauna tells Mari that if Melissa dies, she’ll kill her. Maybe that was a promise.
Past/Present Timeline: Who Is Hannah’s Child on Yellowjackets?
Clearly, Hannah’s child is an important figure in Yellowjackets season three. In all likelihood, they are the person responsible for tormenting Shauna, killing Lottie and sending the tape. But just who is Hannah’s mystery child?
Present Timeline: Why Did Tai See Lottie the Day She Died?
Tai admits that she saw Lottie on the day she died in Yellowjackets season three, episode seven. She tells Van that it was so she could talk to Lottie about It and how It could help Van survive. But is there more to the story? Things do seem to get bloody around Lottie and sometimes Tai. And Tai, especially as Other Tai, definitely has no compunctions about killing. What did Lottie and Tai really say to one another that day?
Present Timeline: What Will Shauna Do to Hannah’s Daughter?
Shauna is pulling up outside the home of Hannah’s daughter when we leave her in Yellowjackets season three’s seventh episode. But what is she planning? Will she attack Hannah’s daughter? One never knows with Shauna.
Present Timeline: Did Shauna Kill Lottie on Yellowjackets Season 3?
Yellowjackets season three, episode seven presents us with the idea that Shauna’s DNA matches the DNA Misty took from under Lottie’s fingernails. Of course, this is according to Walter. Can we trust Walter? Can we trust Shauna? Did Shauna really kill Lottie on Yellowjackets season three? We suppose the season is about to tell us for sure.
Yellowjackets season three only has a few more episodes left, and we’ll be hungrily keeping track of them all.
