A trigger warning for infant loss: She’s still clinging to him here, but his remains are hidden in a blanket.ġ9:47 - Finish your plate: While Misty sends the team on a (doomed) search for Crystal in the snow, JV girlies Gen and Melissa decide it wouldn’t be the “worst” thing to find her dead. Buckle up, hive.Ģ:32 - Postpartum: The mood is especially somber after the death of Shauna’s baby. In this week’s episode, “Burial,” young Shauna grieves the loss of her newborn son, young Misty threatens to eat Ben’s “high-calorie butt meat,” and the present-day survivors are in wellness-cult therapy. If you’re already nauseated or 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. Misty (Christina Ricci) killed a probing journalist with a fentanyl-laced cigarette, while Natalie (Juliette Lewis) was kidnapped out of a suicide attempt by a bunch of purple-clad Lottie Matthews devotees. Taissa (Tawny Cypress) won her race for the New Jersey state senate, but her wife uncovered the blood altar where she keeps the severed head of the family’s dog, Biscuit (R.I.P.). Oh, and now cannibalizing!Īt the end of season one, we left our favorite group of survivors in deep shit: in the present-day timeline, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) stabbed the artist with whom she was having an affair and enlisted her teammates to help cut up and dispose the body, but he was reported missing anyway, so oops. 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 picks up two months into the unforgiving wilderness winter, where food rations are low and the girlies are blood sacrificing. 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 Yellowjackets is finally back for season two.
