For Lorelai Gilmore, the first snow of the year is always a joyous occasion.
She claims she can smell snow and believes that its magical, and it reminds her of cozy times.
Conversely, onYellowjackets, the first snow of the year is a harbinger of doom.
In the wilderness, snow basically equals death.
In the wilderness, Shauna continues to terrorize the group for her own gains.
The only people who arent distraught about her decision to keep them all hostage are Tai and Lottie.
Hannah and Kodi are dealt with.
Thanks to Hannah, this is also a question that needs answering by the end of the episode.)
But she doesnt stop noodling with the broken sat phone.
In an act of kindness, Van covers up Melissa and ushers her away.
(An act of kindness that will be conveniently forgotten by Melissa in the adult timeline.)
Shauna smirks to herself; she might just be pure evil at this point.
Behind the scenes of Shaunas hostile takeover of the camp, Natalie works to mastermind an escape.
This brings up an interesting point.
Could there be another adult Yellowjacket waiting in the wings?
Can I put in a request for an adult Akilah, c’mon?
The wilderness is large, and there are lots of places to hide things.
This seems like the cruelest way to kill, but Travis isnt exactly of sound mind.
Either way, now we have a completed pit, but no girl.
In the present day, the Yellowjackets are still arguing over who killed Lottie.
After Shauna force-feeds Melissa her own flesh, Melissa spits it back in Shaunas face and escapes.
However, she then runs out of gas on the side of the highway.
Back at Melissas, Shauna, Tai, and Van argue about what to do with Melissa.
They reveal that Shauna killed a man named Adam, a fact that seems to shock Melissa.
Everyone passes out except for Van, who has been outside breathing from her oxygen tank.
In fact, Vans entire arc this season was pretty lame.
One saving grace is that its truly fun to see adult Van chatting with her teen counterpart.
She knows she doesnt have much time, but its unclear what she means to do.
I guess shes motivated by potentially killing Melissa as a sacrifice and buying herself more time?
As Van confronts Melissa in the poison-filled house, she tells her what she plans to do.
Ambrose and Hilary Swank do what they can with this hollow dialogue, but weve heard it all before.
Maybe there was an entity in the wilderness, but maybe not!
And maybe a sacrifice will help the situation, or maybe theyre all just delusional psychopaths!
She doesnt get a response.
Are we getting some sort ofLostpurgatory situation where the group convenes in the afterlife?
Because other than that, I dont see how thisisntthe end of Van.
She collapses on the floor next to Van and sobs while Shauna looks on.
The body count for adult Yellowjackets now stands at four, and there are four left.
And why do I think that itll be Shauna?
For what it is worth, Shaunas family is actually thriving without her.
The wilderness contingent also feels very strongly!
that theyd be better off without Shauna.
History repeats, I guess.
Or maybe Shauna should stop being such a controlling bitch.
Natalie secretly gives Hannah a knife and tells her to cut herself and Kodi free after dark.
Then, theyll all run for it.
However, that night, Shaunas spidey senses tingle and she finds Hannah and Kodi mid-escape.
Good-bye, Joel McHale, we hardly knew your character.
So shes either batshit insane or shes working an angle.
Melissa runs to them, telling them that the escape plan has gone bad, and everyone disperses.
Everyone except for Natalie.
However, in this moment of despair, a glimmer of hope emerges.
Natalie sees a bobbing light in the distance and follows it.
Shes checking out the transponder.
I know how to get us home!
So perhaps Lorelai Gilmore was right.
Maybe the snow is magical, after all.
Despite the glaring lack of coffee, I think she would have thrived.
Rory, on the other hand, wouldnt have had a chance in hell.
Like, Shauna was looking at him like a piece of hunky meat in that pen, right?
These cannibals and their jokes!
