Tragic!ġ3:07 - Good soup: While the girls make belt soup, Akilah tries to eat dead Nugget but can’t bring herself to bite down.ġ3:50 - The big drip: Mari keeps hearing dripping and hallucinates the cabin wall panels bleeding in a jump-scare moment.ġ6:56 - Adam and the cheese grater: Saracusa and Kevin Tan are questioning the Sadeckis, and show Jeff some gnarly photos of Adam’s chopped-up body parts, including the tattoo scraped off his torso-likely the work of a cheese grater. Case in point: Akilah’s pet mouse, Nugget, has actually been dead for a while, and she’s just been playing with his dried-up corpse and giving it fantasies of the Jersey shore and salt-and-vinegar chips. With the help of Misty and Mari, she pees blood into a bowl.Ĥ:32 - Nugget’s corpse: I’m always saying pets don’t fare well on this show. Total gore: This episode was by far the most chilling - 12 out of 10!ġ:53 - Taking the piss: It’s a rough episode for young Lottie, whose face is severely disfigured and possibly infected from Shauna’s beating. I hope we get Juliette Lewis hallucinations next season, because I will miss her dearly. But Natalie intercepts, not wanting another innocent person to die in her place. Everyone’s going feral until Callie shoots Lottie in the arm.Ĥ4:27 - Bone broth: Misty got her wish! The girls are making Javi bone broth by the fire and telling stories.ĥ0:39 - Natalie: In the woods, adult Misty tries to stab Lisa with a lethal drug to protect Natalie. RIP.Ĥ2:27 - The adult hunt: The adults are hunting Shauna, who’s drawn the queen card from the deck, through the woods. Travis is distraught, and so am I.ġ1:17 - Mise en place: The girls lay Javi’s body on a table outside and strip him down to be butchered.ġ3:01 - The first cut: Shauna makes the first incision into Javi’s neck.ġ9: 37 - Coach Ben: He’s always in the wrong place at the wrong cannibalistic time! He returns to the cabin to tell Natalie about Javi’s hideout, but spies Shauna dismembering the boy outside.Ģ5:13 - Hot cocoa: Back in the adult timeline, Kevin drops dead after drinking the phenobarbital hot cocoa that Walter made while singing “Send in the Clowns.” It’s a clever callback to Jackie’s hot-cocoa death dream in season one.Ģ6:56 - Suppertime: Shauna brings in butchered Javi-meat on a tray.Ģ8:26 - Blood brothers?: Travis, in an act of consecration, bites into his brother’s raw heart, then panfries it.Ģ9:58 - Eat up: At Misty’s insistence, Lottie takes a bite of her Javi chunks. Buckle up, hive - it’s time for an Antler Queen coronation.Ģ:18 - Zombie: After the hunt, the girls carry Javi’s dead body on a stick back to the cabin, with “Zombie” by the Cranberries playing aptly in the back.Ģ:27 - Javi’s body: A clearer shot of Javi’s body. This week’s finale episode, “Storytelling,” is a particularly nauseating one: While the adults consider some Russian-roulette tea, the teen girls reckon with the aftermath of last episode’s hunt. If you can’t stomach the horror bits, here’s a spoiler-heavy guide to the most frightening (and disgusting) moments of each episode of the second season. Our survivors weigh in on the question: “You know there’s no it, right? It was just us,” adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) pleads to the others in the woods, to which Lottie replies: “Is there a difference?” In the present-day timeline, the women are gathered at Lottie’s (Simone Kessell) purple-people cult, and some are feeling the feral pull of the wilderness as strongly as they did 25 years ago. In case you thought our favorite group of survivors were in deep shit at the end of last season, Yellowjackets has upped the ante. The series is splintered into two timelines - the girls stranded as teens, hunting and butchering and separating buckets of pigs’ blood from menstrual blood and the survivors as women in the present-day, living regular-shmegular New Jersey lives while contending with blackmail and reckoning with the insistence of their past traumas. Season two takes place two months into the unforgiving wilderness winter, where food rations are low and the girlies are blood sacrificing and cannibalizing. Showtime first debuted the part–psychological thriller, part–survival epic, part-bildungsroman series in 2021 for those of you who were too scared too watch it, it follows a champion New Jersey girls’ soccer team whose plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness on its way to a national tournament in 1996. I’ve fought the intrusive impulse to begin this post with wasp emoji and “buzz buzz buzz” declarations, but I’m certainly thinking both, because the season-two finale of Yellowjackets is finally here. What goes down in the Sharing Shack stays in the Sharing Shack.
