Revelations From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 9—“How the Story Ends”
Past Timeline: Shauna Orders the Team to Stay in the Wilderness and Has Gone Full Dictator
Shauna has been unlikable for most of Yellowjackets season three, but in episode nine, she really reaches new depths of abhorrent. Not only does she force her teammates who want to leave the wilderness to stay, but she becomes downright CRUEL. When Melissa just barely disagrees with her, she literally shoots her. And she calls her nothing and other mean names in front of everyone. Shauna needs to be stopped.
Past Timeline: Misty Can Fix the Satellite Phone
Van brought the broken satellite phone from Hannah and Edwin back to camp, but the problem is that it’s broken. However, Misty still has the transponder she broke way back in season one of Yellowjackets and its presence just became important again in season three. It looks like a part from the broken transponder can help fix the broken satellite phone.
Past Timeline: Hannah Kills Kodi and Wants to Be a Part of the Wilderness
What?! Hannah, Nat, and the part of the team that wants to head for rescue slipped Hannah a knife in order to free herself and Kodi and leave the wilderness. But turned on them in front of Shauna, stabbed Kodi to death in the face, and then begged to join the wilderness commune. Was she bluffing to stay alive? Or does she genuinely wish to be a part of the group? She did say it was a fascinating study of survival.
Past Timeline: Travis Tries to Kill Lottie
Murder was also on the mind of Travis, who tried to use that infamous wilderness pit to kill Lottie. Travis lures Lottie onto the covered pit, but she doesn’t fall through. We guess It is looking out for her.
Present Timeline: Misty Locked Shauna in the Freezer
One Yellowjackets season three mystery is solved. It was actually Misty who locked Shauna in the freezer. That doesn’t rule out someone (Melissa) still trying to kill Shauna on season three of Yellowjackets. But at least one of the circumstances was not what it appeared.
Present Timeline: Melissa Believes in It and the Wilderness
Surprise! Melissa has been pretending to be normal all along. But secretly, she still believes in the wilderness and It. She convinces Van not to kill her by telling her the wilderness sacrifices and rewards were all lies, but then she stabs her instead. We’re not sure what rewards Melissa is after in this case, but she certainly seems to have some agenda.
Present Timeline: Van Dies at Melissa’s Hand
R.I.P. Van. We are truly sad to see you go. In episode nine of Yellowjackets season three, Van meets her death at the end of Melissa’s blade. We wouldn’t call it a fitting death, but we hope she heads somewhere good in the afterlife. (Although Yellowjackets does make it seem bleak.)
Questions From the Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 9—“How the Story Ends”
Past Timeline: Why Is Everyone Listening to Shauna?
We just have to ask, why is everyone letting Shauna call the shots. Sure, Lottie and Van are backing her up, and she has the gun. But couldn’t they just bum rush her and take it away? She is only one unhinged person. Instead of making secret schemes in the night, they should have just tackled her.
Past Timeline: Why Did Hannah Turn on Kodi?
What is Hannah playing at? She truly does have a daughter and seemed to want to get home. But all of a sudden, she wants to play house in the wilderness? We guess the wilderness attracts a certain kind of person, and we can kind of see the appeal. But not while Shauna is in charge with her gun.
Past Timeline: Will Misty Fix the Satellite Phone?
Misty has the parts to fix the satellite phone but will she actually be able to? And won’t that mean crossing her new BFF Shauna? We’ll have to see how this one plays out.
Past Timeline: Will the Team Find Out Misty Detroyed the Transponder?
It’s been a minute since season one, but we haven’t forgotten that Misty broke the transponder so that it wouldn’t call for rescue. Of course, depending on the logic you believe, the transponder was never going to get through because It didn’t want it too. But we feel like the team might be more inclined to blame Misty. Will they find out she broke it? And what will happen if they do?
Present Timeline: What Did Misty See on Lottie’s Phone?
Walter gives Misty his clone of Lottie’s phone. She takes a look through it and immediately bolts. But just what could Misty have seen on Lottie’s phone in the episode? We suppose the finale of Yellowjackets will hinge on that point.
Present Timeline: What Is Melissa’s Deal on Yellowjackets Season 3?
Melissa clearly isn’t who she purports to be, but what exactly is she after? Does she want to kill all the other Yellowjackets? Why did she send Shauna that tape? What kind of allegiance does she still feel to the wilderness and it? And truly, what about her family?
Present Timeline: Who Killed Lottie?
The big question on Yellowjackets season three remains open in episode nine. Who killed Lottie? Signs seem to be swinging away from Shauna and onto Melissa. But we probably have more of the story to uncover.
Yellowjackets season three only has its finale left, and who knows what could happen.
