Yellowjackets’s Big Bad Was Hiding in Plain Sight
The series has finally embraced what now seems like an inevitability, turning this into a horror story of a different kind.
In “A Normal, Boring Life,”ever-confused furniture salesman Jeff asks a question about his wife: “What’s Shauna done now?” Two episodes later, Yellowjackets ’s third-season finale, “Full Circle,” offers a number of answers that push the show toward a new and needed phase in both timelines. With an ensemble this huge, of course other characters get major climactic moments or emotional arcs to play over the three seasons: Lottie stabs a bear, Natalie nearly relapses while grieving Travis’s death, Tai discovers her shadow self’s deception, Misty learns that sleepovers with your high-school friend’s daughter aren’t really that fun. Shauna chooses to be a pariah because that outsider status gives her power, a transformation that Nélisse and Lynskey both play like they’re channeling Tom Cruise chomping on necks in Interview With the Vampire or Ursula mixing potions in her cauldron in The Little Mermaid, all venomous glares and smirking grins.
