‘Yellowjackets’ Stars on Filming [SPOILER]’s ‘Heartbreaking’ Death in Episode 6 and Why It Needed to Happen That Way


'Yellowjackets' stars Sophie Thatcher and Steven Krueger, who play Natalie and Ben Scott, discuss filming Coach's death scene.

After narrowly avoiding death in last week’s episode of “Yellowjackets” because — as Akilah (Nia Sondaya) tells the group after snorting cave fumes and seeing a vision, “He’s our bridge home” — it turns out Coach Ben Scott ( Steven Krueger) didn’t make it out of the wilderness after all. During her visits, he pitches multiple ways for her to kill him, including bringing him a knife so her “hands can stay clean” or using the gun since it “would be quick, painless,” but she ignores his pleas — telling him to eat instead. Coach Ben was always going to meet his end at some point in Season 3 because, really, this sets off a chain reaction of everything that comes afterward — that eventually leads to all of the things that people are looking for answers to.
